Stakeout (Aurora Sky Vampire Hunter, #2.5)

by Nikki Jefford

Stakeout is Northern Bites from Noel's POV. It's not a straight retelling, since Aurora and Noel are rarely together, but a couple of conversations are repeats. There are a ton of extras that made me love this series even more! Of course, we get into Noel's head and get to know her a lot better. She's not exactly the goth princess that I assumed she was, and she seems to like vampires even more than I thought. I did get annoyed with her at times, since she constantly whines about how no guy wants her, and they all want Aurora, and blah blah. I know she has her reasons, but I still wanted to shake her out of it!

Anyway. Stakeout shows the other half of the mission carried out in the previous book. While Aurora and Valerie were dealing with Jared, Noel and Dante were keeping tabs on vampire Buck. Nothing too exciting happens, but oh the fun it was to be with Dante! I love him even more now! But, once their mission is over is when the real jaw dropping stuff happens. Noel has a secret past which catches up with her, and she turns to Fane for help. If you've already read Northern Bites you'll know that it ends on something super shocking and made me super mad at him. Well, there's an explanation and it's even more shocking than what we saw from Aurora's POV. This changes everything! If you're not a fan of in between novellas, but a fan of this series, I'd definitely suggest you read Stakeout!
