Wanted: author collaboration

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 15, 2023

This series is addictive! I love it. It is well written and so very engaging. What would make my heart happy is a series where Sam Quinn and her vampire and friends join up with the characters from Demon Days and Vampire Nights. Then add in Sloan King and her crew, along with the Rebel folks. It would be a NOLA, supernatural wonder.

I hate finishing an excellent series and trying to slog through all the books to find something new to grab my attention. This is an excellent series!

NOLA

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 9, 2022

This was a good continuation of book one. When the master of New Orleans makes a play for San Francisco, Clive, Sam, Russel and Godfrey head to NOLA to put a stop to the take over. It’s not as easy as it seems. Sam develops more and more abilities as she comes into her magic. I liked this story and liked that Sam is not as helpless as she was in book one. I also liked that she now has a powerful wolf pack on her side to protect her along with the vamps and other supernaturals. I will read the others in this series.

Can enjoy these stories. I certainly did. A little more educational were the sex bits. You never know what you might learn in a mixed genre mashup like this.

Second in the Sam Quinn Urban Fantasy series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 21, 2021

The Dead Don’t Drink at Lafitte’s is the second book in the Sam Quinn series about a lone werewolf from San Francisco and her diverse group of supernatural friends. This follows closely on from the events of The Slaughtered Lamb Bookstore and Bar, and I would recommend reading that first - you do get some recap here, but the world-building and mythology are established in the first book and taken as read here. This is fun urban fantasy with great characters making up for a lack of originality in the premise and plot.

Sam is now living with sexy English vampire Clive, the Master of the City, while her bar and apartment are being rebuilt, but is struggling to win over his “nocturne” - as his family of vampires are known. When a delegation from New Orleans stage an unprovoked attack, and only Sam’s new abilities save the day, the team decide they must travel to Louisiana to sort out arrogant trouble-maker Lafitte once and for all.

While vampires and werewolves are staples of modern UF, the best part of these books are the range of other creatures - wicches, demons, ghosts, even a Fury, all interacting more or less amiably - I particularly liked hilarious new character Stheno - I won’t spoil her species, but it’s a doozy! Sam is a likeable heroine although I found her transition from frightened victim (in the last book) to unassailable badass a bit rapid. This had lots of well done fight scenes, and a tolerable romantic subplot - I’m not sure we needed the corny sex scene but at least there’s only one. I didn’t like the increase in swearing compared to the last book - including the dreaded c-word - completely unnecessary even if you’re trying to convey how despicable an antagonist is.

There were some minor mistakes and plot holes that were disappointing for a published book (this was not an ARC - I actually bought it!) Nothing serious. There were no great surprises in the plot but I enjoyed the adventure regardless and look forward to the next instalment, which is out soon - and I’m pleased to see that Sam does get to re-open her bar, which was my favourite part of the first book.

I enjoyed this book. Sam and Clive are a good pair. The story kept my attention and I enjoyed the plot line. This book 2 makes me want to read book 3

Good start

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 15, 2021

So I really enjoyed the first half of the book. The second half, the characters were doing things that didn't really make sense to me (finding a secret tunnel, but not sure why they couldn't enter where they knew an entrance was). Also the dumb decisions of leaving body guards behind when you know people are out to get you. I know, we need to have a story, but some seriously questionable decision making. I as feel some inconsistencies with Sam's new powers. One in that seems she can recognize people, but then other times she can't. Also the hearing. Feel there is a lack of inconsistency with what they ask can hear. But I do really like the supporting cast. So some frustration, but was only $1, so it's fine.

I continue to enjoy this series. The fun banter mixed with emotional support is a perfect get away from the current world and who doesn’t enjoy a good kick-ass team doing just that?

Not the Usual Were

Plotting is well done & moves from event to event, but does not slog along and become predictable (unlike the sex scenes - which add no excitement). Enjoying Sam's discovery of her strength & powers as a were. Hoping that she decides to learn to use her magical wicche powers, as well.

Really enjoyed bk 2 in this series. Can't wait for the next one, which I already preordered. Lots of action twists & turns of the story. Sam discovers her powers are more varied & powerful than she could have guessed. I love the variety of paranormal creatures included in these books & the love & loyalty of Sam & her friends. Just a great read I highly recommend!

I like this series. The characters are dark but interesting. I thought Clive came across quite poorly in this arc which is why a 4. Too much self recriminations and doubt which doesn’t match him.
