Lavos by Laurann Dohner

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jadee Trollis knows a little something about things that go bump in the night. Thanks to a father obsessed with myths, legends, and the paranormal, Jadee was dragged around the world in his pursuit of everything from ghosts to Sasquatch as a child. She got away from all that craziness in her teens, seeking a normal life as an adult. A trip to Alaska to visit her father quickly turns into a nightmare. Jadee ends up trapped in her father’s tricked-out RV, hiding from the dangerous Vampires outside.

Lavos is the hottest man she’s ever seen when he comes to her rescue. He growls, has some seriously strange but beautiful eyes, and he’s not human. But returning to the lower forty-eight might not be the safety net she’s expecting, and the normal life Jadee craves more than anything means never seeing Lavos again. When she finds herself in need of his help, it seems her new normal may be back in Alaska, waiting in her VampLycan’s arms.

The heroine: Jadee – her father was a man who was obsessed with proving the paranormal exists. He and his research partner, Mark have spent their lives chasing cryptids like bigfoot, yeti’s and chupacabra’s. However, this time things are different when they went to the Alaskan wilderness after sightings of vampires. Her father has disappeared, and Mark is being evasive about what happened when Jadee gets to Alaska to find him.

The Hero: Lavos – he is a VampLycan who has been rounding up and killing a nest of vampires near his clan’s land in Alaska. His brother Lorn is the alpha and leader of the clan. When they get word of some humans that haven’t called their family back, Lavos and his friends go out to a house in the forest near their lands, to see what is up. They find that vampires have been busy and the homeowners are dead, and the neighbors are missing. They decide to go after the Vampires.

The Story: Jadee arrives at her father’s RV to find him and is able to speak to Mark and his wife Pam and his brother Brent over the internet from their separate camp site who tell her that they had found vampires. They tell her that she has to close all the windows and lock the doors because the vampires have escaped and are after her and them. Jadee thinks they have all lost their minds, but they show her some images of outside their trailer and she sees things that defy all odds.

This book was a thrill ride from the very beginning. There was a ton of action all the way through. I loved it. Lots of bad vampires and slaying left and right. The intimate scenes were super steamy, especially the first one. I really enjoyed the romance as well.

This book is told in multiple points of view via solo narration and was narrated by Savannah Richards. I have been surprised at how well I have been liking her narration. I have been binging the whole series so far and I haven’t gotten tired of either the storylines or the narration and that is uncommon for me. I plan to keep going with the next book right away. I can’t wait to get to the books with the GarLycans!
