Meidias. Swoon. What a vamp. What a name! Well, if it is his name. He’s so old he wouldn’t remember.
Nadine is attacked by a vampire but everyone keeps telling her it’s a dog bite. *snort* So she plays investigator—I love this side of her personality!—and goes back to the crime scene. DUN DUN DUN! She nearly gets eaten by an alligator! Have y’all seen an alligator? They’re huge. 🐊
But of course, the swoony Meidias saves her. Ha. Turns out that Meidias is the one who nommed on her neck in the first place.
Now, she’s turning into a vampy vamp and her life is getting a serious face lift.
This paranormal read has a very contemporary vibe. It’s unique in every way! Add Caroline McLaughlin as a narrator and it’s a done deal. Nadine doesn’t want this new life. She wants to live happily ever after with Mr. Wrong and go back to her ordinary life. (Doesn’t sound so perfect anymore, eh?)
But then something changes. She sees her life through a different lens. Perhaps it’s the fact that she’s becoming immortal, maybe it’s because Meidias is showing her all she’s worth. That man. Lemme tell ya.
I loved Nadine. I usually gravitate toward the hero in books, but I could not help myself from being drawn to her. She is unintentionally dragging herself through the mud under the illusion that she’s actually happy, but she just doesn’t know any better. Then she’s stuck in this limbo of being the predator as well as the prey.
But you know what? I have no idea how Winter Reid did it, but Nadine’s final transition was completely unexpected. It was emotional, physical and psychological. I didn’t know what to expect in the beginning, but by the end I had Naughty Smile Syndrome and now I just want to find a swamp and some alligators to talk to. Maybe Prince Charming will come my way.
Are there any swamps in Idaho? I’m going to go look. Please hold.

Well, I wrote a book!
My debut novel is releasing this December! It's on pre-order hella early for 99¢, or you can join my ARC Team and get a free copy in exchange for a wonderfully blunt review on the platform(s) of your choice.
Wow—it's weird being on the other side of this...
You've been with me from the beginning when I first launched this blog in 2017. I've written Stolen Words for YOU and I hope you enjoy the swoon.
