He’s done fighting his attraction to the sexy vampire…
To say former firefighter Colin Zhang is struggling to accept his new life would be a vast understatement. He’s bound to a vampire he didn’t choose, living in a house filled with creatures better left to the imagination—there’s a lot to resent. As much as he tries, he doesn’t resent Evan—far from it. But he needs to know that what he feels is real and that requires breaking their bond. No matter the cost.
Vampire private investigator Evan Fournier is more than willing to explore his connection with Colin, but the crisis at hand keeps getting in the way. Their bond makes it dangerous for them to be apart, so he’s forced to put the other man at risk while he investigates the latest in a series of murders. If he doesn’t find the killer soon, the paranormal community will seek retribution on all humans, not just the guilty ones.
As the tensions escalate, Evan and Colin find solace in each other and their growing attraction. But if their bond is broken, attraction—even love—might not be enough to keep them safe.

This book puts me in such a huge dilemma, because how the hell am I supposed to review this without spoiling anything??? I feel like whatever I say, my words might somehow give away what happens.
So, I decided to keep this really broad. At first I thought House of Fire would be hit by what I call “sequel-disappointment” but it couldn’t be farther away from it. House of Fire is as good as All Fired Up, if not even better. I really loved House on Fire and was super-glued to the pages. I started at midnight and finished it that same night. I could not put it away.
One thing I can say about House of Fire for sure though: whatever you think might happen, it won’t lol this book took a completely different turn than I anticipated and the twists and turns kept me in suspense. Multiple times I read pages again with the thought “when I read this page again, I better have not read what I think I just read”. Those twists, folks, be prepared. Also, soooo many feelings and we get to see all my favourite characters again.
Now, it just needs to be 2022 because I need book three ASAP. 2022 is way too far away.
Like All Fired Up and the Not Dead Yet series, I will reread House of Fire multiple times and I will also get the audiobook, once it is available 🙂
Back in January I wrote a blog post saying that I’m back. That however ended up being not as true as I would have liked it. My bad, sorry. My Bachelor’s thesis ended up being more work than anticipated and work and university also picked up their paces. Sadly it won’t be better for the rest of the year. I just started my Master’s degree even though I don’t even know yet if my thesis passed. That’s just the way it works at German universities, or at least at mine.
Apart from drowning in work and school, I’ve also been feeling weirdly down the last few weeks. I think Covid is finally getting to me. I had no problems with restricting my social contacts at the beginning because I’m an introvert but I’m now kind of going stir-crazy and am just bored out of my mind. I really need to meet up with friends.
Anyway, I didn’t want to make you feel sorry for me, rather this was supposed to be a badly executed introduction to the topic of this post. If you read the title, then you already know what I’m going to list now. If not, I thought I could make a list of all the book series I gravitate to whenever I’m bored or feel down. I have always been a big rereader. Mostly because rereading a book offers me comfort and I never had any problems with rereading (or rewatching, in the case of TV series) anything. Even if I know the whole story already, it just takes the anxiety of not knowing what will happen out of the question and just leave me feeling relaxed and happy.
So, here is my list. You will surely notice a certain theme I seem to have in my comfort-books. LOL.
Vampire Related Crimes (VRC) by Alice Winters
This series has everything I love. Vampires, humour and crime. The writing style is great and I love the characters. If I had to choose one of the books from the series that I enjoy the most, it would probably be the third one called “How to lure a hunter”. However, no one is making me choose, so I choose all of them equally. I also own all four of the published book as audiobooks. Michael Ferraiuolo does a great job at bringing the characters to life and he is also one of my top five english-languaged narrators.
It also has a different world setting than other vampire series. In this one, vampires are out to the world.
Not Dead Yet series by Jenn Burke
Another series I love rereading and it also has vampires, humour and crime. Well, I told you that there would be a theme to this post. Lol.
However, both series couldn’t be any more different than they are. I have read and listened to this series multiple times and am super happy that a spin-off is currently also getting published – which I love and reread just as much. I actually reviewed the first one of the spin-off earlier this year. I know, shocking, isn’t it? (HERE IT IS)
Whereas the VRC follows a different couple every book, apart from the first two books, the Not Dead Yet series focuses solely on Wes and Hudson and while I am usually not a fan of series that follow the same couple, here it just works for me.
I have to be honest here and say that this series is the cause for me to write this post. I just finished the last book in the series (again) and now I was contemplating what else I could do. So here I am.
The audiobooks are also read by one of my top five english-languaged narrators, Greg Boudreaux.
Lords of Discord series by Jocelynn Drake
Do you want to guess what the topic of this series is? Say it with me. Vampires, humour and …nope, no crime, it’s more about an intrigue happening, I guess. Also family plays a huge part. 🙂
Im currently listening to the fourth one of the series which is probably my favourite of them all, Embracing Winter. It is narrated by a new-to-me-narrator that I really like so far, Kale Williams.
While all three of these have vampires and humour, they are also shockingly different in world building and story. So all three of these series make great reread material.
Scoring Chances series by Avon Gale
Surprise, surprise! A series that has no vampires but my other favourite thing: ice hockey. I mostly reread the second, third and fourth books of the series, called Save of the Game, Power Play, and Empty Net. However, book one and five are also very good. I just feel very strongly about the other three.
What I like most about these, is that they are really low angst. Conflicts are non-existent or quickly solved, and the stories overall are just cute and adorable. I’m still patiently waiting for a sixth book, even though it has been five years since the last book was published.
I also enjoyed these in audio format.
Some honorable mentions:
Hitman vs Hitman by Cari Z. & L.A. Witt
Demon Magic series by Alice Winters
The Hitman’s Guide series by Alice Winters
Fake Boyfriend series by Eden Finley
So, here we have it. My list of books I reread way too often, instead of reading the books on my ever-growing tbr. As you can see, you make me very happy with vampires.
Another way for me to establish if a book is a comfort book is whether I also own it on audio. I’m rather picky when it comes to english-languaged audiobooks, so when I own it, it usually means that I really, really like it. All of the books mentioned above, even the honorable mentions, I also own in audio format.

Once bitten. Twice burned. Forever bonded.
Don’t miss this riveting and romantic spin-off series from Jenn Burke, author of Not Dead Yet.
Paranormals are dying. All over the city, with no explanation and only one thing in common: their magic is missing.
Vampire and private investigator Evan Fournier isn’t supposed to be taking on paranormal cases, but when the murderer hits close to home, he agrees to look into it. The last thing he expects is to become a target himself—and then to become irrevocably bonded to the man who just tried to kill him.
With his memory gone and his soul bonded to a stranger, former firefighter Colin Zhang wants to be anywhere else. He doesn’t have a damn clue why he just tried to kill Evan, and he didn’t even know about magic until just now. The sooner he can get back to his real life, the better.
But every time either of them tries to leave, pure agony stops them short. Forced to work with Evan or suffer the consequences, Colin must excavate the secrets buried in his missing memories while battling two rising threats: the conspiracy behind the murder, and his mutual attraction to the bond mate he never wanted.

I loved, LOVED this book. I really loved Evan in the Not Yet Dead series, which All Fired Up is a sequel to. In fact, I was a bit mad about what Jenn Burke did at the end of the third book, so I’m really glad that Evan finally has his own series 🙂
I have read the Not Yet Dead series multiple times by now and I still love it so it was no surprise to me that I also loved All Fired Up and will also loved the next books that are going to be in this series. I also really like Jenn Burke’s writing style. Also vampires and private investigators are so up my alley. The combination of my two favourite things can only result in a good book 🙂
The Ashes & Dust series plays a few years in the future, they are already in the year 2024. Normally I’m not a big fan of time jumps but in this case it makes total sense and is even appropriate.
(Sidenote: Am I the only one or does the number 2024 just look weird? lol I’m still getting used to writing 2021 and if I’m really honest I just put 2019 on a paper last week, so… oops)
I really felt for Colin, poor guy. I won’t say more about Colin and his character development because that’s a really big spoiler. I definitely can’t wait to see Evan’s and Colin’s relationship progression though. Those two will make me swoon so much, I know it.
Also I really, really hope there will be an audiobook of this, preferably also read by Greg Boudreaux because I love his voice and he is one of the few english narrators I actually like (I’m quite picky when it comes to narrator voices)
The only thing that I didn’t like was my inability to read slower. Why do I consume books in such a speed? I guess the only thing I can do, is reread this book again right now. The biggest problem with reading an ARC is that the next book is even farther away than if you get a book on the normal release date. Book two (according to Amazon) will be titled House on Fire and will be available in November…. November!! That’s eight freaking month. Who do I need to bribe to get it earlier and does that person accept german chocolate? LOL
All Fired Up was also a very welcome distraction from writing my stupid essay. I’m nearly done so I guess I’m going back to writing it… *sigh*

It’s a reunion to remember…
Don’t miss this friends-to-lovers hockey romance from Avon Gale and Piper Vaughn.
Daniel “Bellzie” Bellamy should be on top of the world—a Stanley Cup is the perfect topper to his fourteen-year NHL career. But despite the post-win high, something’s missing. When the chance to play for his hometown team, the Miami Thunder, comes along, he’s open to it. And when he runs into an old friend from his past soon after he makes the move, he wonders if it might be kismet.
Micah Kelly never thought he’d see his childhood crush—and first kiss—again. Danny Bellamy moved on to bigger and better things when they were teenagers, and the idea that Micah’s relationship with the professional hockey player could be anything more than one-sided Instagram thirst seems too good to be true.
Maybe too good to be true is the new reality, though. As the season goes on, Micah teaches Daniel to surf, and Daniel introduces Micah to his lovable pack of rescue dogs and the world of being a hockey boyfriend. Life is good. But when things on the ice don’t go as planned, they’ll have to decide if their rediscovered romance is built to last.
It took me a very long time to finally pick this up because I had this weird phase were ice hockey romances were just too repetitive for me and I usually love those romances.
When I finally picked Trade Deadline up, I read it in one go and I liked it. I didn’t love it but I liked it.
I especially liked the open conversation between Micah and Daniel, that doesn’t happen that often in the books I usually read. It was a refreshing change. Also this was super low angst in my opinion and barely has any conflict between the two protagonists.
It was a good read for chilling on the couch. If you are looking for something highly emotional and tear-jerking this book is not it for you but it was overall a nice and comfy book to enjoy.

When Roland Gray reaches out to a podcast to vent about his latest coven kicking him out because his magic just doesn’t fit, the last thing he expects is to stumble across a “roommate wanted” ad that sounds too perfect to be true. He doesn’t want to get his hopes up—he’s been burned too many times to believe he’ll finally find a home. But his potential roommates seem nice enough, even if the landlord is the gruffest, tersest man he’s ever met.
Miller Moore never intended to be a landlord, let alone a roommate to a bunch of magical people. But after a divorce and a lay-off in quick succession, it was the only way he could keep his dream home. Over the past few years, they’ve made a family of a sort, with dogs and cats and their people. He kind of loves all of them—even though he’d never tell his roommates that. Dogs are so much easier to deal with. At least until he gets to know Roland and discovers Ro fills a space Miller hadn’t realized was empty.
Ro’s wonky magic has always kept him from finding a place to belong. To find a home with Miller, he’ll have to be braver than he’s ever been…and believe.
This story was previously published as “A Caller from Ottawa” in the Heart 2 Heart Anthology Volume 4. It’s been edited and slightly expanded.

Must Love Dogs… And Magic was a short and adorable novella with a minor relationship conflict at the end that was fast resolved. If you are looking for something low angst, look no further, you might like Must Love Dogs… And Magic. The focus here lays more on the dogs than the magic. The magic really doesn’t play a big role in this novella. So if you are not a fan of magic, fear not.
I also really liked the aspect of ‘found family’ in this. I’m always a sucker for that theme in a book. I also really liked how Roland found his place in the house because his type of magic was something I haven’t read before.
Must Love Dogs… And Magic was the perfect read for a cold afternoon while snuggeling under a warm blanket and while it was a bit short for my taste it still left me with a warm feeling in the end.

ABOUT THE BOOK
The Segonian Book #2 Aldebarian Alliance By Dianne Duvall Releasing date: January 19, 2021
Eliana’s life has never been what one might term ordinary. At least, it hasn’t been for a very long time. As a powerful Immortal Guardian, she spends her nights hunting and slaying psychotic vampires that most of humanity doesn’t even realize exist. Then an opportunity arises that instantly makes her extraordinary existence seem downright boring. The leader of the Immortal Guardians asks her to guard a group of mortals who are embarking upon a voyage across the galaxy to the planet Lasaran. How could she possibly say no?
In no time at all, Eliana is hurtling through space on board a Lasaran battleship and getting to know not one but two alien races. It’s the most exciting adventure of her long life… until the ship is unexpectedly attacked. Amid the chaos and destruction that follow, she valiantly helps everyone she can before an explosion renders her unconscious. When Eliana awakens, she finds herself alone, floating in space, clad only in a spacesuit, with no ship in sight. Alone—that is—except for the warm, deep voice that carries over the comm in her helmet.
Commander Dagon and the crew of the Segonian battleship Ranasura respond to a distress call from their Lasaran allies and join a massive Alliance-wide search-and-rescue mission. He quickly achieves communication with a lone Earthling female and races toward her. Every time they speak, his fascination with her grows and he becomes more desperate to reach her before her oxygen supply runs out. Her strength, bravery, and humor entice him, even more so when she defies all odds and they meet in person.
As he and Eliana embark upon a quest to find her missing friends, a bond swiftly grows between them that deepens with every laugh and smile and tender touch they share. But they are not the only ones searching for Earthling survivors. When Eliana herself becomes the hunted and their enemies begin to close in, can the two of them fight their way to victory, or will their enemies take everything?
Eliana burst into the armorers’ workroom and skidded to a halt.
Heads jerked up. Gazes latched onto them.
Beside her, Dagon chuckled.
Her heart pounded wildly against her rib cage as she looked up at him. And it wasn’t a result of their brisk walk. He was so damned handsome… especially while he wore the boyish grin their unofficial race had spawned.
“You appear to love weapons as much as I do,” he said, his eyes sparkling with mirth.
She grinned. “If that’s true, then you love them a hell of a lot.” Turning to the men who were seated at stations, repairing or cleaning weapons, she tossed them a wave. “Hi, guys! How’s it going?”
They looked at each other.
“How is what going?” one asked.
She shrugged. “Your day. Your work shift. Life. I don’t know. You choose.”
He nodded. “All is going well, ni’má.”
“Happy to hear it.” She turned to face the design area and—as eager as a child on Christmas morning—skipped over to the chief weapons designer. “Jor-al,” she sang.
Joral turned.
“Dagon said you have some goodies for me.”
He smiled as she approached. “Indeed I do, Eliana.” Reaching beneath a counter, he collected what reminded her a little of an area rug that had been rolled up. Placing it atop his design table, he unrolled the fabric.
A dozen throwing stars came into view first, glinting in the overhead light. He revealed two sheathed daggers next, then a pair of shoto swords, a couple of sais with grips that would fit her hands perfectly, and not one but two katanas.
“Ooooooh,” she breathed reverently, her fingers itching to grab them. She had expected one or two weapons, not all of them. How the hell had he finished this many so quickly?
She dragged her gaze away from the gleaming metal and looked up at Joral. “You crafted them all from mlathnon or alavinin?” Though she had dedicated much of the day to swiftly learning the Segonian language, she was pretty sure she slaughtered the pronunciation of both metals.
“Yes, ni’má. Every blade you see here can repel blasterfire.” The slightest shake of his head indicated he still thought her batty for believing she could fight off someone with an energy blaster while armed only with blades.
Eliana grinned. “Excellent.” She motioned to the pretties. “May I . . . ?”
“Of course.”
She reached for a katana first. In the tight confines of a spaceship’s hallway, the katana might not be the best tool to use, but it had been her weapon of choice ever since Seth had given her one shortly after her transformation.
Eliana held the weapon in both hands, admiring the workmanship Joral had put into the scabbard, the cord wrapped around the handle, the engravings on the guard, the blade collar . . . She slid him a look. “You’re good.” He had reproduced her design perfectly.
Crossing his arms over his broad chest, he arched a brow. “I’m better than good.”
She smiled. “Let’s see, shall we?” Curling her fingers around the handle, she slowly drew the blade from its sheath.
When Dagon held out a hand, she passed him the scabbard.
Eliana held the sword horizontal to the floor and rested it upon the index finger of her free hand, shifting it until she found the balance point several inches distant from the guard. She nodded approvingly. “This sword has good cutting power.” The farther the balance point from the guard, the stronger the cutting power. And any sword wielded with preternatural strength needed that.
“Every blade I craft has good cutting power,” Joral stated with unabashed pride.
“I can believe that.” She had wielded many swords over the centuries and knew quality when she saw and felt it.
Glancing behind her, she backed away until she stood in a large bare area, then tossed the blade into the air. The sword came close to striking the high ceiling before the ship’s artificial gravity drew it down again. As soon as the handle was in reach, she gripped it and started swinging. Familiar whooshing sounds filled the silent room as she swung the sword as if she battled multiple vampire foes. Though she carefully refrained from using her phenomenal speed, the blade still blurred as she spun and thrust and slashed at imaginary enemies in front of and behind her, twisting and ducking as though they fought back.
By the time she finished with a flourish, she was grinning big. It felt exactly like the katana she had lost in the battle with the Gathendiens, like an old friend with whom Joral had reunited her.
“I love it!” she proclaimed as she looked up from the blade.
Every man in the room stared at her, the workers with wide eyes, Joral with his arms now at his sides and a smile creasing his craggy features, and Dagon with obvious admiration . . . and something else.
Desire, perhaps?
Or was that merely wishful thinking? Because she sure as hell desired him.
Joral broke the silence. “You’re good.”
She grinned. “I’m better than good.”
Barking out a laugh, he shook his head. “I believe you.

Back in January 2020 I told myself that I would be more active on here again… and I failed. SO. HARD. I posted exactly 9 times. But I didn’t only abandon my blog, I was also super inactive on Goodreads. I remembered to add my books maybe once every two month.
I’m going to try to be better in 2021 but I already failed one of my goals –> being more active on Goodreads. I just logged back in and had to add 15 books that I’ve read so far this year. It’s not that I have to do anything special to get on Goodreads, nope, I have it bookmarked and all. All that is needed is one little click and I still forget about it….
I will probably be still very inactive in the beginning of 2021 because I’m currently finishing my very last courses for my bachelor and then I have to write my bachelor thesis next semester. Sadly I’m not done after that. I still have to finish a Masters degree after that.
But I’ll try to be more active starting in April, I kind of want to do mini reviews again and maybe the interviews I used to do way back. Those were fun to read.
Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that I am in fact still alive, I’m just currently drowning in work and school (even though we are back in lockdown in Germany, yay, fun…).

Broken Dawn
Book #10 Immortal Guardians
By Dianne Duvall
June 16, 2020
Delve into an exciting new stand-alone novel in New York Times bestselling author Dianne Duvall’s “fast-paced and humorous” (Publishers Weekly), “utterly addictive” (RT Book Reviews) Immortal Guardians series.
Nick Belanger can’t stop thinking about the single mother who lives next door. She’s smart. She’s funny. She’s so beautiful he can’t stare at her too long for fear his eyes will start to glow. But Kayla thinks he’s just an ordinary guy who works in security. Finding out he instead is a powerful immortal warrior who hunts and slays psychotic vampires for a living may not go over well, particularly since she has a daughter she doesn’t want to endanger.
Kayla Dorman can keep neither her gaze nor her thoughts from straying to the man next door. Who can blame her really? He is the epitome of tall, dark, and handsome with smart, charming, and honorable thrown in. He’s also a few years younger than her and surely would not be interested in a single mom who hasn’t dated since her divorce. At least that’s what she thinks until an accident nearly takes her life and Nick risks all to save her.
The dynamics of their relationship swiftly change. The friendship they’ve developed over the years deepens into love as the two spend every minute they can together, laughing and teasing, never suspecting a threat may lurk in the shadows. But that threat soon strikes, making it clear that Nick is the target and his enemy doesn’t care if Kayla gets caught in the cross fire. Though Kayla bravely rises to the occasion and is determined to do whatever it takes to help Nick defeat his enemy, Nick is terrified of losing her. Can he identify and eliminate his new nemesis before the man takes everything from him?
