Review: My Viking Vampire (Sanctuary, Texas #1) by Krystal Shannan

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

Bailey Ross’ world is crumbling around her. Her abusive ex, a human, is closing in on her again, and to make matters worse, a new enemy, a djinn, is stalking her. This supernatural being takes great pleasure in human pain, something Bailey has in excess thanks to her ex. If she’s caught by either, she’s as good as dead.

Backed into a corner and desperate to escape, she does something she swore wouldn’t ever be possible again –trusting a man. And he’s a vampire.

Protection via the sexy vampire Erick Thorson may prove to be a little more than she bargained for. Sparks fly between them and she finds herself agreeing to more than just protection. Though he has promised not to let anyone harm her, the small west Texas town is more than it seems and he may not be able to make good on his vow no matter how hard he tries.

Will Sanctuary be the home Bailey longs for or will she have to die to find out?

My Review:

Not only is her abusive ex closing in on her, Bailey is now being stalked by an even worse enemy…a djinn. When sexy vampire Erick Thorson, offers protection, Bailey does something she swore she’d never do again… trust a man. Will Erick and Sanctuary be the home she longs for or will she have to die to find out in this enthralling paranormal romance.

This fast paced and smooth flowing plot thrills readers from the very beginning with suspense, action, drama, romance and a fascinating new world.  The author brings the story to life with well written scenes and images that make it easy for the reader to picture the story as it happens and the characters are strong, compelling and grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning.

Bailey finds herself drawn to Erick but no matter how sexy he is…he’s a vampire – even worse he’s a man and he can’t be trusted, but Bailey is tired and she knows she can’t stand up against the djinn who is stalking her. Erick’s job is to protect Sanctuary, but he can’t help but bring Bailey under his protection as well. The reader can’t help but get caught up in all the drama and excitement that unfolds as Bailey is introduced to the colorful townsfolk of Sanctuary and her slow emergence from her shell.

Spine tingling tension builds as the danger closes in and hints of the past and what will come draws the reader deeper into the story ensuring that they want to know more. The author has created a fascinating paranormal futuristic world that has lots of intriguing elements and wonderful characters that promise to provide lots of exciting entertainment. I was completely engrossed from beginning to end and I fell in love with Erick and Bailey and I can’t wait to read the dragons’ story.

About Krystal Shannan

Romance author, Krystal Shannan, lives in Texas and is married to the love-of-her-life. They have a spunky young daughter who believes in fairies and keeps them both on their toes.

Krystal professes to loving shoes, but avoids wearing them at all costs. She is a SyFy geek at heart. Anything and everything that has to do with magick, supernatural, or paranormal is her cup of tea. Which, by the way, she drinks by the gallon.

If she’s not curled up on the couch with her laptop creating sinfully delicious stories with just a splash of humor, she’s probably watching movies like Underworld, X-Men, or even Die Hard (nothing wrong with a little action, right?). She doesn’t think so.

Favorite TV shows include, but are not limited to… Lost Girl, Merlin, Warehouse 13, Castle, Rizzoli and Isles, True Blood, Vampire Diaries, and Revenge. 

She enjoys reading romance in all genres, but especially paranormal. Her favorite book is ACHERON by Sherrilyn Kenyon. But really, if it has a ‘Happily Ever After’, she’s on board!

She is an active member in her local RWA chapter DARA.
