Title: Venom &
Vanilla
Author: Shannon
Mayer
Series: Venom
Trilogy #1
Synopsis: “Successful
Seattle baker Alena Budrene doesn’t want to die. But when she’s infected with a lethal virus
spread by supernatural beings, her only chance for recovery is to make a deal
with the devil – or in this case, a warlock.
“Though he
saves her life, if looks nothing like the life she once knew – and neither does
she. Alena is a new breed of “Supe” no
one has ever seen before. Even the supernatural
police don’t know what she is. Now
exiled to the northern side of the Wall, which marks the divide between humans
and Supes, Alena is thrust into a dark and magical new world.
“But just as
she begins to adjust to all things supernatural, she realizes that her transformation
is the least of her worries – and it was no accident. She was chosen… to be killed by a Greek hero
trying to make a name for himself once more.
“Alena was
brought up to be subservient, preferring creating to fighting, and vanilla and
honey to blood. But that was then. Now, to survive, she must stand up for
herself – and this time she’s got fangs.
But will she be ready to use them?”
Review: Venom
& Vanilla is a fun book that I enjoyed reading. I read it in one sitting that took about two
hours. I just could not put it
down. While poking playful fun at Greek
Mythology, Mayer also provides and entertaining read.
I loved the character development with Alena,
throughout the story she goes from being a dowdy, subservient person to being a
confident, ass kicking woman. The other
main characters are also well thought out and developed well. Just lately I’ve been having trouble finding
books that can hold my attention for very long, Venom & Vanilla was a
fabulous find and thankfully the sequel comes out tomorrow! I can guarantee you that I’ll be reading
Fangs & Fennel this weekend, if not sooner.
