Dead Wrong
(Thorns and Fangs 04)
by
Gillian St. Kevern
Nate’s no supernatural expert, but even he knows a murdered man coming back to life to kill him can only mean one thing—the necromancer is back and out for revenge.
Recruited by Department Seven in a desperate attempt to stop Peter before he claims new victims, Nate quickly realizes he’s in way over his head. His powers are failing him, he’s haunted by Peter’s ghost, and he can’t even remember how he stopped Peter the first time—or why he feels that someone very important is missing from his life.
Ben is fighting for his afterlife. Trapped in the supernatural version of solitary confinement, he knows freeing himself will destroy New Camden’s fragile peace—but what choice does he have? The longer he spends in his magical prison, the harder it becomes to resist his inner vampire. But if Ben wants to help Nate prevent Peter taking over the city, he has to prove himself to his sire—Saltaire, a thousand-year-old vampire with no qualms about using his immense power to suppress Ben’s free will.
As the casualties mount and the city descends into chaos, Ben and Nate must overcome their worst fears and impossible odds—or be written out of existence entirely.

Life After Humanity
(Thorns and Fangs 03)
by
Gillian St. Kevern
Ben is a recovering vampire determined to pick up the pieces of the life that came to a halt when he was murdered over a year ago—even if that means distancing himself from his few remaining friends. Nate, struggling to navigate his new identity as a Class 3 Unknown paranormal, knows it will take more than mastery of his affinity with plants to convince Ben they belong together.
When Ben’s application for human status is denied, he must fight to leave the paranormal world behind him while Nate’s generous impulses drag him into conflict with a werewolf pack with designs on ruling New Camden. As Ben’s vampire family draws closer to finding him, his vampire instinct awakens—throwing his continued existence into jeopardy. The hunt for the missing werewolf continues, and Nate and Ben become pawns in Councilor Wisner’s plans to take control of the city. Their only hope is each other—if they can see that before all is lost.
Blurb: Recovering vampire Ben is discovering that life after death is hard work. It will take more than a reflection to impress his boyfriend Nate’s religious mother. And Nate’s twin brother, Ethan, openly resents Ben’s presence at the family farm. Nate is confident they can build a normal life together, but Ben’s not even sure he knows what normal is. He can’t face his reflection, let alone his past, while Nate refuses to divulge his family’s supernatural secret. Can they build a future on such shaky foundations?
When a supernatural hunter is found dead on the family farm, Ethan becomes the main suspect in a murder investigation that puts Ben and Nate at odds. Nate wants to protect his family and stay silent about what he is, but Ben knows no one is safe until the demonic agent responsible for a string of murders is caught. Defying Nate to investigate alone, Ben can’t let the demon claim another victim. But as his investigation continues, he discovers links to a past he thought he’d buried—and a past Nate refuses to acknowledge. With a desperate killer on a deadline, Ben must face the literal demons in his past if he wants to have any chance of saving himself and Nate from a fate worse than death.
Review: It has been several months since I read the first book in this series, so it was like a new experience for me. This particular story is about the two main characters in book one and where they are now that Ben is not a vampire any longer. When I read the blurb, it said recovering vampire, but in truth he is now human once more. The characters are a bit off to me, but still pretty sweet. In this story you find out more about Nate and let’s just say it is one big surprise.
Nate has talked Ben into coming back to his home town with him. It is supposed to give him a break from what he had known before. Ben gets to meet Nate’s brother Ethan and their mom. Now that is one wacky family. It also explains quite a bit about Nate. The problem was there was a murder and Ethan is the main suspect.
Now the whole town is just down right creepy. They are one of the most religious place’s ever and just because someone is off, it makes them evil. And when there is evil around, you can figure out the type of people living there will react. Ethan is a lover of plants, and is damn good at growing them. He is closed off and really weird, but his brother is the exact opposite. Nate is out going and funny as hell, in a way. This murder might link back to, well I will let you find out when you read the story. Let’s just say you are in for a big surprise.
It is a very long winded tale that I have to admit didn’t keep my attention like it should have. I am afraid that I had to take a break from it for a bit. It has a lot of description and details in it that just didn’t help me along. It actually took several chapters before I got interested in finding out what else happens. Other than that this book was a bigger hit with me then the first one was. I do like the characters quite a bit and can’t wait to see what this author comes up with for the next book.
