Here Be Sexist Vampires by Suzanne WrightMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am so excited!!! I just discovered a new vampire series!!! And I am beyond thrilled!!!
Suzanne Wright has created the most exciting and yes, different world of vampires in her Deep in Your Veins Series.
Three different kinds of vampires, ….and each vampire with their very own special powers.
“Three breeds? Well you see, basically, you know how there are varying accounts of vampires? Some humans report us to be terribly aggressive with hulk-like strength, some report us to be entrancingly beautiful and charming, and others believe that we are actually more human-like than the stories say. Well the reason for all the confusion is that there are actually different breeds.”The first book in the series, Here Be Sexist Vampires takes us into a world filled with gorgeous, sexy, mysterious and very very likeable characters.
Samantha aka Sam is a London vampire, one of the lowest ranking vampire groups.
She joins Cat from Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost and Merit from Chicagoland Vampires by Chloe Neill as my three top kickass and fabulous vampire heroines.
Sam is such an incredible and funny character. She takes no shit from anyone. She’s smart and quick on the uptake. Underneath all that smarty pants is someone with a vulnerable side…someone who has been abused, seen and done some scary things in her life, and who has suffered loss and pain – but she does not let that stand in her way.
"I’ve done things in my time that would make the curly hairs in your pants go straight,female or not, I reckon i’ve got bigger balls than you have"When she’s offered a job working for Antonio, the Master of all Vampires, she sees this as the way to get away from Viktor, her tormentor and the vampire who turned her and has kept her prisoner since.
Arriving at Antonio’s compound, she’s given the position of commander of the new vampire recruits, together with Jared, Antonio’s heir and a total sexist and arrogant and gorgeous vampire of the highest ranking. Wow, does this guy think a lot about himself…
And he’s a total slut….has 3 consorts and just screws around!! "Men! if he was a women he’d be considered a bit of a slut but apparently because he was a male it was completely normal and acceptable."He actually thinks that Sam will give in to his sexiness….but man has he made a mistake in thinking that she’s just a girl….oh did I forget to mention that Sam is the only female vampire ever to work with the legion vampire army!!! She certainly knows how to put a dolt like him in place…
I loved the characters in this book. Sam’s vampire group, Antonio, Luther, Sebastian, Jared’s 3 consorts (talk about princesses….)and most of all, I fell in love with Sam’s PA, Fletcher…..totally lovable and adorable…
I want a Fletcher of my own!!!! He’s such an unforgettable and engaging character and I can’t get enough of him.
I liked the interaction, sexual tension and chemistry between Sam & Jared and loved watching the build-up of the attraction that they felt for each other.
“God, I loved this woman: this very crazy, borderline-homicidal – on second thought, scrap the borderline – woman.”
“How could you be attracted to someone who made you so pissed off that you’d considered burning their balls with a lighter?”
Another thing about this series that I totally love is the writing and the dialogue.
"What? Who? Oh you mean that cross between a whippet and witch personally. I don’t know how he can shag something that looks like it’s just escaped from Azkaban."The author is British and the humour and wit comes across each page. Sam’s vocabulary is a total blast….
Hilarious and so fabulous….He had to be blowing smoke up my arse.Okay there are some OTT moments and characters that are just so out there…..but that’s the magic in writing..anything is possible!
The funniest vampire book I have ever read…just loved it!!!
Can’t wait to start book #2…..and join Sam & Jared on their next vampiric adventure!!!!
