Ivan by Marissa Farrar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Russian vampire Ivan Sokolov is feeling guilty and so wants to apologise to an ex who is also the daughter of werewolf Deacon Thorn. He tracks her down to Dartmoor when The Thirst strikes him and he wakes to find himself covered in blood and with no memory of how he got that way. So he decides to make a run for it when he is hit but an amazing scent in the car park. However it belongs to a police officer who is looking for the person responsible for a body that was found on the moor. The scent belongs to his bloodmate who just happens to be the police officer and between them they wonder if he is responsible for the body or was it the mythical Beast?

This was a great story seamlessly merging vampires, the Thirst and a mythical beast that lives on the moor. It was very enjoyable as a light read. I enjoyed the way their relationship built up even when they were in a difficult situation. Well written and very enjoyable.

Review: Nikolai by Marissa Farrar 4 of 5 stars

Nikolai by Marissa Farrar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nikolai Petrov is a Russian vampire that now lives in London and gives in to his maker and attends a business meeting in a shady nightclub run by werewolves. He is then hit but an insatiable need for blood and sex and a delicious scent is picked up by him - it is his bloodmate (Lauren) and she desperately needs help. However another vampire has paid to buy her as she isn't completely human. Can he find her and bond with her before the Thirst takes over and sends him mad?

This was a roller-coaster of a chase to find her and then protect her from the buyer. There was plenty of action and drama in the story of how Nikolai and Lauren met and became mates. Nice story with some great touches like her not being fully human and the buyer.

Review: Stolen: A Vampire Blood Courtesans Romance by Marissa Farrar 5 of 5 stars

Stolen: A Vampire Blood Courtesans Romance by Marissa Farrar
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dakota has been cared for and raised to be the perfect Blood Courtesan. When she reaches 18 she "graduates" and is sold to a vampire who will own her and use her as he chooses. Roman (her purchaser) is gorgeous and not at all what she has been brought up to expect - he refuses to touch her not feed from her. Dakota explains in no uncertain terms that she is not happy about this. Will they come to a truce where they both understand each other?

I loved this story - it was very different to the other Blood Courtesan stories and so was very original even though it was part of the same "franchise".It was very well written and I could relate to everything and everyone. I would definitely read something else by Marissa Farrar as this was very original.
