karma & melodies

Kendra used to spend her days organizing events for Café Enigma while daydreaming about Marcus, the sexy lead singer of Normal Paradox. But all those dreams of becoming Mrs. Rock Star died, along with her mortality, the moment Hector entered her life and turned her into a vampire.

Ten torturous years later, Kendra finally escapes Hector and runs straight into Marcus. (Well, actually, he hit her with his car, but that's beside the point.) The accident leaves Marcus concussed and a few pints too low, forcing Kendra to share her blood to save him.

Sharing her blood doesn’t just heal Marcus’s wounds; it bonds him to Kendra in a magical “can’t live without you” sort of way. Now he’s professing his undying love to her, and Kendra’s not sure if he’s for real or just experiencing the side effects of their new blood bond. Either way, the two of them can’t be separated without suffering suicidal levels of depression, and the band needs to hit the road for the rest of their cross-country tour.

Kendra’s content to travel with the band and explore her new-found relationship, until whispered threats from her master, Hector, start invading her dreams. He’s tracking her down, and she can feel it. She knows the horrors he’s capable of, and if he finds out about Marcus, Hector will do everything in his power to destroy him.

If she stays, Marcus is doomed to Hector’s wrath. If she goes, the repercussions of their bond might kill Marcus. Both options will break Kendra’s heart. If they’re truly meant for each other, they’ll have to find another way....

A Review of Immortalis Hunters and Prey by Katie Salidas

.25
4.25 Fangs for Immortalis Hunters and Prey

The exciting sequel to Immortalis Carpe Noctem.

Becoming a vampire saved Alyssa from death, but the price was high: the loss of everything and everyone attached to her mortal life. She's still learning to cope when a surprise confrontation with Santino Vitale, the Acta Sanctorum's most fearsome hunter, sends her fleeing back to the world she once knew, and Fallon, the friend she's missed more than anything.

Alyssa breaks vampire law by revealing her new, true self to her old friend, a fact which causes strong division in the group that should support her most: her clan. Worse yet, her revelation entangles Fallon in the struggle between vampires and hunters and The Acta Sanctorum is ready to attack again, with a new army of hybrid creations: the Frenzy Soldiers.

If Alyssa hopes to survive and keep her mortal friend safe, she'll have to be willing to make a deal with the enemy, and regain her clan's support. It will take everyone working together in a precarious truce to fight against the Acta Sanctorum's new threat.

Other Novels in the Immortalis series:

Immortalis Carpe Noctem
Immortalis Hunters & Prey
Immortalis Pandora's Box (2011)

My review:

The second book in the Immortalis series does not disappoint. I was thrilled to have a chance to read the follow up to the first book Immortalis Carpe Noctem (a fab read, by the way, if you haven't read the first book I highly recommend reading it first then moving on to Hunters and Prey).

In Hunters and Prey newbie vamp Alyssa has a little blood under her fangs- meaning she knows a little more about being a vamp than she did in the first book. After battling a vampire mistress and a vampire hunting society in the first book Alyssa is ready to have little peace and quiet with lover Lysander.

Too bad while out hunting one night she sees her enemy- Santino. He should be too weak to be out hunting but Alyssa knows it was him. She'd never forget him- he haunts of daymares everyday as soon as she tries to sleep. Lysander tries to convince her that her fears have her imagining her enemy around every corner but her instinct tells her she was not imagining things.

Soon Alyssa discovers she was definitely not imagining things, Santino is out there but this time maybe he's on her side. Really?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend...right?

Turns out the leader of the vampire hunters has been up to no good and created a bunch of zombies hungry for blood. Santino wants to put a stop to them and works with Alyssa's clan to bring down the bad guys and save Alyssa's human BFF Fallon.

The book is fast paced, action packed and entertaining with a side dish of sexy. A truly worthwhile read.

I mostly like Lysander but I don't care for how he dismisses Alyssa's feeling so easily and Alyssa is great heroine even though she can be a bit naive. Yet both are traits that make the characters believable. They are not perfect, they are flawed and it's good to see that even vampires can suffer from human character flaws but the tiffs and issues they have, their little fights, are sometimes unnecessary for the plot development and seem trifle. Although everything makes Alyssa grow as a character, making her stronger and more engaging to read about.

Katie Salidas writing style is bold, descriptive and seriously sexy with dark and delicious undertones. Fans of urban fantasy and paranormal romance will surely enjoy the Immortalis series.

Join Katie Salidas On Her Halloween Fantasies Book Tour

Question: In your story it revolves around a Halloween party. Why do you think that Halloween has become so appealing to adults? What is it that makes adults feel like dressing up in costume and be something they are not?

Answer: I’ve always loved Halloween. It’s my favorite holiday of the year. I get a kick out of playing around in the costume shops picking out things, not just for my daughter, but for me as well! I’m thinking pirate this year.

When we were kids, we loved to play dress up, we enjoyed make-believe time, and we allowed ourselves to step out of the real world. We were happier then.

Now that we are adults, bogged down with life and responsibility, we don’t have time for silly things like playing dress-up. We’ve lost some of that youth and spirit.

And that, to me is what makes Halloween so special. For kids, it’s all about the candy. They play dress-up every day. But for us, adults, Halloween is the one holiday of the year where it is almost expected of you to play.

Our costumes may have changed. We might don a full-sized chicken suit or something skimpy like that sexy princess Leia outfit (Note to Self, next year!!), but the bottom line is still the same. In dressing up we reconnect with some of our lost youth. We allow ourselves to play like kids again … even if it is just one night a year.

So… what will you be for Halloween this year?

Halloween Fantasies by Katie Salidas
