Wolf Night is Book 2 in the Dark Dates series, the Chronicles of Cassandra Bick.
My Review
It's rare that I like a sequel better than the first book in a series, but it happens as evidenced with Wolf Night! I had forgotten how much I loved these characters! Snarkiness at it's best. I was full out laughing at some parts!
Cassandra seems to attract trouble. But don't feel too bad for her, she also seems to attract sexy as sin immortals too! Cain and Laclos........while very different and in opposing corners, they both can elicit unladylike behavior from Cassandra. And I don't blame her! They are the epitome of sex. While the book does have this sexy triangle, it also has LOTS of action. It felt like something new was happening every other page. From page one, I remembered why I enjoyed book one, Dark Dates, so much. I can't wait for more from these characters. If you like action with some steamy goodness, you'll love this series!
Must Read!
Character
piece: Cassandra Bick, owner of Dark Dates
So, years of being single and suddenly I
have two supernatural hotties interested in me. Sounds great, right? And I’m
not really complaining, honestly I’m not, but that kind of thing can be
confusing for a girl. So I decided to do the tried and tested method, and make
a list of the pros and cons and see who comes out on top. Oh, OK, possibly I
shouldn’t have used that phrase…
Laclos
– 1000 year old vampire. Possibly undead ruler of London, even though he’s not
admitting it
Pros
Super sexy – I mean, really, hormone
shredding, ovary exploding, ‘wait, what was I saying’ sexy. And frequently
naked, even in what passes for polite company. Wait; is that a pro or a con?
Funny – knows all the vampire clichés, not
above playing up to them. This is the vampire, after all, who once turned up at
a party liberally doused in glitter. Has actual sense of humour about himself,
which is rare enough in people and pretty much non-existent in vampires, so
that’s a definite plus.
Liberal –Laclos isn’t possessive at all,
and is pretty OK with the idea of me being with Cain, and happy for us not to
be exclusive. This could make my life less stressful.
Cons
Knows he’s super sexy – I mean, really knows. And keeps reminding me and
everyone else of the fact. Also frequently naked, even in what passes for
polite company. Wait, remind me, is that
a pro or a con?
Knows he’s funny – and enjoys it a bit too
much. Sometimes it’s hard to get past all the sarcasm to get a straight answer,
which can be frustrating. And that bloody glitter got everywhere.
A bit too liberal – part of the reason
Laclos is so OK with me being with Cain is he’s pretty keen on being with Cain
himself. This could make my life far, far more stressful.
Cain
– kick ass, super powered, might be immortal hunter. Not keen on vampires. I
mean, really not keen.
Pros
Super sexy and seriously good in bed –
honestly, I feel a bit weak just thinking about it.
Major bad ass – OK, sometimes this feels
like a ‘con’, as it can be intimidating to be around someone who is quite so
scarily lethal, but there’s no one better to have on your side against the bad
guys and he has saved my life quite a few times, now. So that’s going in the
‘pro’ list.
Not so liberal – it’s all very well being
open minded, but sometimes a girl wants to be wanted and Cain certainly makes
me feel that. When he’s around, at least. Which isn’t all that often. Wait, I
feel I’m turning this into a ‘con’…
Cons
Super serious – I mean, it’s nice that he
isn’t as flippant about everything as Laclos but sometimes he can be a right
grumpy bastard.
Bit too bad ass – Cain’s definition of bad
guys tends to be a little too broad for my liking. Not least because he puts
Laclos very firmly in the ‘things I’d like to kill’ category. Which makes my
life a little stressful…
Plenty liberal when it comes to him – he
might bust a blood vessel at the thought of me going anywhere near Laclos but
it was OK for him not to tell me he had a wife? Even if they were, apparently,
‘separated’? Somehow this doesn’t seem fair.
To
sum up…
OK, this hasn’t helped, possibly because
I’m struggling to get past the first ‘pro’ in each list. (What? Like I said,
I’ve been single a long time!) Maybe I should kick them both to the kerb and
get someone else. I do run a dating agency, after all. Watch this space…
