New Release and Review - Remi by Elaine Barris


Blurb

A Vampire’s Thirst… Dark… Dangerous and Undeniable

In the world of high stakes poker, Remi Bellerive is the undisputed champion, his name renowned in gaming circles. With his lover, Michelle, at his side, Remi is living his vampire life according to his rules with no apology. 

His nemesis, TripleAce, however, has other ideas, and plans to use his lucky charm to unseat Remi at the upcoming live poker tournament. Filled with envy and jealousy of Remi’s fame and standing, TripleAce is dead set on defeating Remi by any means necessary.

After being drawn into TripleAce’s dark world and seeing firsthand the despicable things he’s capable of, Sophie is desperate to escape. Though scared of what his henchman, Hans, will do to her if she’s caught, the terror of living and dying at his whims spurs Sophie to jump at the only chance she has of running away.

Amidst this backdrop, a rash of murders has drawn the attention of The Directive, a mysterious collective that polices all supernaturals, and holds them to account for any wrongdoing. Magno Zara has dispatched his lead investigator, Clarence Collins, and his second in command, Jana Noskova, to team up with New Orleans local, Ethan Boudreaux, to locate and bring to justice those responsible for the crimes.

A strange affliction, an overwhelming thirst has hit Remi, causing his desire for blood to increase to astounding proportions, placing the human woman he cares for in dire danger.

Is Remi to blame for the killings? Has the Thirst turned him into a vampire gone rogue? Or, has he discovered something he wasn’t looking for… his bloodmate?




My Review

Diving back into Ms Barris vampire word is always a delight and this book grabbed me early on.

Remi is a vamp and plays poker, he comes across as a little cold to begin with but I felt him warm as the story went on. Remi is in a relationship at the start of the book, to be honest I didn't feel a connection between them to begin with and then I did and then the author changed direction on me lol - I had to put my kindle down for a minute as was gutted for Michelle.

Sophie is on the run from a bad vamp and his twisted friend when she meets Michelle and everything starts changing for everyone.

This was read was full of preternatural men and women, I love my vamps but love seeing a shifter or two always adds more interest.

This is a rollercoaster of a read, the relationships, the baddies, the danger and of course Remi, the dark and brooding yet passionate and caring vamp.
