I’m Charley Underwood—welcome to the Stag. Keep your fangs to yourself and don’t forget to tip your bartender.
In Crimson, vampires, wolves, and humans live side by side. And I try to keep them from tearing each other apart.
After taking down a bloodsucking mobster and a rogue witch, I thought I’d catch a break. Maybe even a few days to fix up my bar and spend some quality time with Samuel, my vampire boyfriend.
But I should have known better—after all, this is Crimson.
An old enemy is out for blood, stalking us and leaving terrifying warnings. And this vampire likes to play with his victims, always staying one step ahead. Soon the whole town is caught in his games.
Customers start showing up beaten and bruised, unable to explain what happened. There are rumors of addictions and poisoned blood…
When Samuel disappears, it’s clear this opponent is smarter and more twisted than any I’ve faced before.
And he won’t stop until he’s taken everything from me.
Bloodlust Shadows was another fun installment in the Charley Underwood series. In this volume we got more backstory for Samuel as well as further progression in Charley's magical abilities. This volume was focused mostly on the vampire characters, but it also set the scene for a more werewolf focused subplot in the fifth book. The pacing in this story was good, so it was a quick and easy read to snuggle in bed with on a cold winter night. In this book there was a lot of reference back to events in the earlier volumes, so it is a series it's best to read in sequence. I am giving this one 4 stars.
I received this book as a free eBook ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
