Since I'd had questions since the first book, I was thrilled to finally get more of those details. Through dream flashbacks, we became privy to additional information into what really happened to Finn thirteen years ago, when he lost his arm and leg. Much like the first book in the series, ' How to Vex a Vampire', this continuation was packed full of snark and banter.īut with Finn and Marcus together as a happy couple, a lot of that snark was turned outwardly, toward other people in this funny and adorable book.Īs the story began, there were a few deaths, including the VRC losing one of its own, which led to a search for the identity of the Elder vampire.

How to Elude a Vampire is the second in the VRC series and contains a display of manly prowess that doesn't go as desired, reluctant bonding with a new pet, interfering with a snarky Russian's love life, misuse of office supplies, a vampire with a killer fashion sense but very little game, a total lack of ancient kung fu powers, a feisty human who almost always gets his way and the possessive vampire who adores him. What I do know is that my future is with Finn, no matter what happens. I want to be by Finn’s side to keep him safe, but at the same time, Finn’s fighting for the freedom he’s always wanted after being forced to live a life of fear.

Before Finn and I can settle into our new life together, we’re called in as lead detectives when a body is found in the river, and the case soon hits closer to home than we anticipated. Now that he’s the brightest part of my days, I’m unsure of how I existed without him. When Finn joined the VRC, I never expected how everything would change. Being with him is more than I could have dreamed, and even with the trials thrown in our way, he never fails to make me smile. But Marcus loves me for who I am, even if he’s not crazy about the cute pet names I call him like McBitey. If that includes pestering Marcus and harassing my fellow detectives, they’d better learn to love it, because I’m not going anywhere even if they like to remind me I’m the only human working in a department filled with vampires. We can’t always allow the past to haunt us. But as the days stretch on and nothing happens, I become determined not to allow that monster to rule my life, and decide that Marcus and I will move on. When the vampire stalking me sent me a letter, I was prepared for my new life with the man I love to get thrown into chaos.
