Nightshade's Bite by Zoe Forward
3.0
I was given an ARC for an honest review. 3.5 stars out of five. (my rating system: [one star = no.] [two stars = meh] [three stars = okay] [four stars = yes.] [five stars = wow!]) Nightshade’s Bite is book two in the Blood Wars series and can be read as a standalone.
This is my first book from Zoe Forward, I haven't read the first novel in this series (The Way You Bite). I had a hate love relationship with the female mc. She was strong and could take care of herself but she was also annoying at times when it came to her weakness for Michael. They did have an instant connection when they met and it was so obvious and too fast for my tastes but I also understand it was necessary for the plot. Regarding the plot, there was just so much information and things going on. It took a while to fully grasp everything that was said but it made for a more interesting read. But while I was still getting into it I had to force myself to continue reading while taking breaks because I didn't really get hooked in until around the climax and resolution. I did enjoy the themes of family and loyalty between different characters.
Plot Summary:
There is an interspecies war going on between the werewolves and the vampires. Kiera Rossard is a vampire aristocrat and also the secret leader of the Nightshade’s League. Their mission is to rescue werewolves caught in the crossfire. One fateful mission in Paris ends up with Kiera rescuing Michael Durand- the most renowned vampire killer in existence- and realizing he has a powerful allure like no other pulling her in. The attraction is dangerous since one drop of his werewolf blood will kill her. Kiera may be a good doer but she’s also an adrenaline junkie and not good at resisting temptation. Even if being with Michael and surviving was possible their kinds would never accept them together mixing the species.
Michael Durand hates vampires. He lives to kill them and be the war general the werewolves need. He doesn’t understand why Kiera stirs some desire deep within him. He knows he should leave her and never see her again but staying near her a little bit longer is devastatingly appealing. When powerful players discover her secret, Michael’s forced to make a choice between helping his people or protecting her. Only being around her isn't safe for her either…
If you’re looking for a steamy forbidden love paranormal romance with lots of plot give this a shot. Especially if you’re into some blood lust and alpha vibes..
