Fury's Kiss

Fantasy Urban | Romance Paranormal

Dorina Basarab wakes to an unfamiliar setting and a vampire hovering over her. Her first instinct is to lash out and attack. Her efforts prove futile. It is only later that she realizes that the vampire is actually her boy-toy, Louis- Cesare there to help rescue her. Dory was working for the Vampire Senate task force at the time for her capture, but try as she might, she cannot remember what happened to her. In an effort to find the answers she needs, Dory goes head- to-head with vampires and fallen angels alike. In the process, she becomes a "master", gets caught buying twenty boxes of condoms for the fey, and still manages to kick some ass!

Karen Chance delivers a stellar addition to the Dorina Basarab series! The world Chance creates is so easy to lose yourself in. With her detailed world building, interesting politics and tons of humor, Chance has the unique ability to take readers into her world for a whole new thrill ride with each book!

Readers will be please to discover that Chance also explores Dory's relationship with Louis-Cesare in greater detail. Adding another intricate layer to their relationship, Chance builds on their witty back-and-forth to further solidify the fact that Dory and Louis-Cesare are the perfect pair.

Though Dory and Louis-Cesare are fantastic in this book, Ray had some amazingly memorable scenes as well. The fact that Chance has more than one character I care about proves just how endearing and well-rounded her characters are.

Intensely hilarious dialogue, intriguing and endearing characters, and pulse-pounding action - This is what I've come to expect in a Karen Chance novel. The story had me laughing in stitches and speechless with shock. FURY'S KISS is easily the best in the series so far.

SUMMARY

Dorina Basarab is a dhampir—half-human, half-vampire. Subject to uncontrollable rages, most dhampirs live very short, very violent lives. But so far, Dory has managed to maintain her sanity by unleashing her anger on those demons and vampires who deserve killing...

Dory is used to fighting hard and nasty. So when she wakes up in a strange scientific lab with a strange man standing over her, her first instinct is to take his head off. Luckily, the man is actually the master vampire Louis-Cesare, so he’s not an easy kill.

It turns out that Dory had been working with a Vampire Senate task force on the smuggling of magical items and weaponry out of Faerie when she was captured and brought to the lab. But when Louis-Cesare rescues her, she has no memory of what happened to her.

To find out what was done to her—and who is behind it—Dory will have to face off with fallen angels, the maddest of mad scientists, and a new breed of vampires that are far worse than undead…
