Magiere and Leesil (along with his weird dog, Chap) have been scamming small villages for a long time. Peasants are superstitious after all and if anything goes wrong, vampires are to blame. Magiere and Leesil have never actually seen a vampire but they’re all too happy to take the village’s money to pretend like they’ve destroyed one. After, they march along with their bounty, leaving the villagers light of pocket and stuck with their original problem.
Magiere is getting tired of the game (poor baby!) and wants to settle down somewhere once and for all. She dreams of running a tavern somewhere along the coast and eventually hears from her broker that one is available. Now, she just has to convince Leesil that it’s a good idea.
In a run of karma, the town where the tavern is located IS actually run by vampires. Magiere and Leesil learn the hard way that Magiere may be the only one who can destroy vampires. Weird changes happen when she’s confronted by the undead and her rage consumes her, making her into a lethal weapon she never knew she was.
For most of this novel, I thought I wouldn’t continue to the next book however, the author writes great characters with intriguing back stories and a world just interesting enough to keep me going. I like that Magiere didn’t know what she was or what her abilities are and we’re learning it all right along with her. I want to see what adventures lie in wait for Magiere, Leesil and Chap. (Who is weird because the cover depicts him as a husky-like dog while the story refers to him as a silver furred hound. Huskies and hounds do not look alike good sir.)

Just go along cautiously. At some point the authors get really close to the PNR line (imo) and Leesil turns into the biggest whiniest crybaby you ever saw.
I stopped at book 6 but should have stopped after the second.
With 14 books though, if it works better for you, at least you’ll know what you’ll be reading for a while 😀
Wow. I didn’t realize the series is that long. Lol. I don’t mind PNR but Leesil turning into a whiny baby makes me sad already. D:
What is PNR?
I will say that if the writing and dialogue are really strong in this book, it sounds like a hoot. I mean, the irony of buying the inn in vampireville, lol.
Paranormal Romance. It’s not a bad read. 🙂
Oh! I didn’t realize there was an N in there. PNR reads like a stock market symbol in my brain 😀
Today I found out PNR means “paranrmal romance,” and my silly ass WRITES paranormal romance *facepalm* ah well I’m always learning.
Only stop learning when you’re dead!
