About Book



Two Katie MacAlister vampire
novels—Got Fangs? and Circus of
the Darned—now back in print and
together for the first time!

Meet Francesca. She’s in Europe, working in a
traveling faire along with psychics, magicians, and
other really bizarre people. Her life? Not-so-normal.
Her boyfriend, Ben? Not-so-alive. And in these two
novels, it’s up to Francesca to redeem his soul, find
something to wear on their very first date, deal with
her emerging psychic talent, and shake the warring
Viking ghosts she accidentally conjured.
 

My Thoughts and Review

This was just an okay read for me. Not a lot of substance. There is basically two stories in one. The both stories revolve around Ben and Fran.Frans has been living with her mother this summer traveling with a faire. Her moms a witch and Fran also has her own special powers of her own she can read people by touching them like your very own truth detector.She meets Ben who is a Dark One a 300 year old plus vampire who says that after searching many years he has found his beloved and soul-mate in Fran. She thinks he is nuts.While Ben per-sues ,Fran is investigating the theft of someone stealing from the faire's till and her mom wants to enlist Fran to uncover the culprit.Frans hates that she special and does not want to use her powers she wants to be normal and doesn't want anyone thinking she is a freak .Fran has a real problem being different and throws it up in everyones face at every turn she can get how she hates it wanting to me normal it becomes annoying ! She is the only one who can solve this crime as the person responsible for the theft is a non-human. Ben and her learn to get to know one another which Fran is not making it easy for him, He has a Demon trying to kill him and secrets of is own making life tough at the moment.

There is a little bit of mystery . I liked the backdrop of the story which was something different for a change .I just felt this story lacked excitement.

The other story however was cute. Ben is back and he and Fran are trying the boyfriend girl friend thing. At one of Frans mothers witch circle meeting Fran accidentally summons a bunch of Ghosts that are Viking thinking she is a Goddess and they are there to do her bidding.This story gave been some laughs as the Vikings are giving Fran advice on Love and Dating which was hilarious. The scene where they were shopping with her was a Hoot. A my favorite there trips to M Donald's for big macs. And the scene where they sacrificed there big mac's to the Loki god had me chuckling.This story had more going on and Ben and Fran team up to find away to return the ghost to where they belong and the continue on finding out who is trying to kill been and why ?

Would recommend this as a library read or a paperback swap book.Even though I had some mixed feeling about the one story the other story did make up for that.

Blurb

Chase MacAdams is a hybrid with extraordinary abilities…

 Roxie is an Indian beauty, a shapeshifter on her mother’s side and

hales from a little known tribe in the Adirondack Mountains of New York.

 Her father is an immortal—Scottish by choice and time.

Thus, a

friend, Nikki Walker thinks and rightly so, that Roxie will help in the

fight against WB and his vampire clan. They need help because the

vicious vampire now has Count Dracula on their side and all of Europe is

 in danger.

However, they have given Roxie a difficult task. The

team wants her to visit with Chase in the highlands of Scotland and

convince him to join in the fight. He has already refused, but Nikki

doesn’t think he will refuse Roxie MacBran. And for all the wrong

reasons he doesn’t

My Thoughts and Review

Great

conclusion to and ending series! I loved this entire series and all

books were all worth the time to read.The two main characters of this

story were perfect for one another. Chase and Roxie made a lovely

pair.Just loved the book. The book became a page turner right from the

beginning with lots of laughs, humor ,mystery and tons of danger to keep

 your interest in the story.

I found along with the other books

 to this series that each book including this one had hero and a heroine

 who both played there part for a favorable outcome in eliminating the

evil that was about to take over mankind.The two were very different

but, each needed each to find each other in order to play there part in

there own destinies.One of the main things I loved about Roxie was about

 where she was from and the tribe that she came from was a nice twist.

Growing up in Adirondacks myself it was nice that the story included

where Roxie was from making her character even more lovable in my

book.LOL

Roxie had her work cut out for trying to get

Chase in on this mission as he and his father were loaners but, there

was not stopping Roxie from her mission she just needed to be her fun

sexy self and he was a goner.But, Chase fought a long and hard battle

not to succumb like all the men characters that made up this group of

stories.But, one look at there women and the were goners from day one

they just didn't know it.

I believe the Queen had her hand in

making all the matches throughout these stories even this one but she

just doesn't come out and say it or let be known as common

knowledge.There was so much action that came to life on the pages and

also new secrets that were revealed .Also it shed some more light on

things all bringing us up to speed and solving some mysteries we might

have had..But, Roxie was the one thing needed to stop Dracula in his

tracks along with a little help to keep one deeply guarded secret in

tact and if not for her who knows what would happen to the outcome of

this story.

The story was a wonderful read and recommended to

all.The book had everything a reader could want strong characters,

humor, sexy men,beautiful sexy heroines,tons of mystery, magic, vampires

 and the Fae all while taking place in the glorious highlands even

making the story even more magical.Even though this story had and ending

 I believe if the author at some point wanted to write another to this

series or a continuation mayhap going in another direction she could

easily do that.Loved the entire series and if a reader choose to read

the books out of sequence they wold not have a problem catching on.

 My only thing and this is only me personally that I felt missing in the

 ending was this.Throughout the entire series several persons would play

 a part in the books ending series.Why weren't they all there at the

finale. They were all spoken about throughout this story but, Why

weren't the couple that started it all there to see the ending or the

couples that came after before they all played a part.Would it have

caused a more dramatic ending or not ? This observation is only a

personal one and in know way diminishes the authors the ending of the

story saying it wasn't a good one but for me if I started a chain

reaction that lead to the chain of events to come to pass I would have

liked to have been there personally at the ending even if I was not

needed to see how the whole thing played out

Be sure to put

Claudy's books in your to read pile if they are not there as you don't

want to be missing out.Currently reading her Fae series and loving

it.She is a wonderful author and is worthy of being in your current

library there in mine !
