Like Michele's
other books in the Broken Heart Oklahoma series, ONLY
LYCAN'S NEED APPLY
is full of snark, humor, friendship and a crisis that needs
a very pregnant Queen Patsy's immediate attention. The
first few chapters give readers a brief history of
Ruadan the First and Lycans. These pages are helpful in
remembering where MICHELE BARDSLEY has her starting point
with her characters background.
ONLY LYCANS NEED APPLY
starts off in the Sudan with archaeologist Dr. Moira
Jameson and her assistant Dove. Dove notices something very
strange about the ushabtis they unearthed, they have fangs.
Dove is trying to convince Moira that there are such things
as vampires. Moira agrees it's weird, but instead of
believing she blames the fangs on the crazy ancient
Egyptians. Moira is getting very concerned because the
permit they have for their dig is only good for another 3
days and she has at least another 2 weeks worth of work to
do.
Later that night Drake, Darrius, Jessica, Patrick, Eva and
Lorcan show up at the site per Queen Patsy's request, as
protection detail. While the six paranormals are inside a
cave waiting and watching, Karn makes his appearance and
tries to get to Moira. Drake is determined to not let that
happen. He has been watching her for about a week and has
decided that he would like a chance with her. Their first
introduction is Drake running into Moira and Dove's tent in
his wolf form to rescue the two. Karn gets away and Drake
is left standing in the tent looking at Moira and Dove.
When he shifts back to his human form Dove is beside
herself that she is right about paranormal beings. When she
meets the others and discovers they are vampires, she wants
to make sure she is not dreaming and exclaims that the
Theodora Monroe book is real. The six vampires explain
about the ancients and the pyramid, and that they need her
help with uncovering the location. She helps them that
night to find the pyramid,
unfortunately she will never know what a marvelous
discovery she unearthed. You know those vampires with their
glamour and wanting to be kept a secret. The one that is
the most disappointed that he will not be remembered is
Drake.
I liked ONLY LYCANS NEED APPLY, it was fast paced,
exciting and funny. All the things I like and expect in a
Broken Heart Oklahoma book by Michele Bardsley. I am
happy
that each of the characters seem to be finding their mates,
sometimes in the most unusual of places, but that they are
happy. The introduction of new characters that fit in well
with the established residents help to keep the series
fresh and interesting. This is a must read if you are a
fan on this series.
When I found the ancient tomb of the two most powerful
vampires in history, I knew I was in for a lot of
trouble....
But archaeologists like me, Moira Jameson, are ready for
trouble. Okay, maybe not
human–species–threatening trouble. Or the kind
of trouble that arrives in the form of a sexy werewolf
named Drake. Yeah. Werewolf. And I thought ancient curses
and walking corpses were a joke. Um...not so much.
'Cause a walking corpse named Karn wants to reveal
vampires, and all of parakind, to the humans. And everyone
else thinks that's a bad idea. Then a pyramid mysteriously
appears in Broken Heart, Oklahoma, and I'm appointed to get
inside, survive booby traps, and awaken two very old, very
hungry vampires. Luckily, Drake has my back (and my front).
Unfortunately, archaeology sometimes reveals some very
nasty surprises. And I'll have to decide between saving
myself...or saving the world.
