Glacier by Laurann Dohner

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Since that fateful day she was snatched from her job and turned into a Vampire, Mandy’s life has sucked-literally. Forced to become an assassin for the Vampire Council, she finds solace in taking out the scumbag rogues she’s often assigned to kill. Things go south when she realizes her next mark is an old coworker from her human days…a seriously hot one, who she had deep feelings for. Worse, the council was wrong. He’s not a villain, but a protector. One she refuses to kill, regardless of orders.

Glacier’s astonished to come face to face with Mandy in a dark alley. Even more so to learn the sweet one-time human is now an assassin-assigned to kill him, no less. His orders are clear. Eliminate her. But what’s a GarLycan to do when duty conflicts with his desire to protect the woman he once had feelings for? He’s about to find out.

The heroine: Mandy – she was a fierce woman who used to work at a nightclub and dealt with the bands that played there. She had a crush on the huge bouncer nicknamed “Ice” who worked in the club as well. When a group of ‘troublemakers’ were in the club, Ice told her to get the band out of the club as soon as their set ends and go home herself. She was attacked and turned into a vampire outside the club that night.

The Hero: Glacier (a.k.a. Ice) – he is a GarLycan (result of a mating between a Gargoyle and a Lycan). He worked in a nightclub in the late 80’s but at present he is after vampires who have been stealing Lycan kids and making them fight to the death.

The Story: The night after Mandy was transformed into a vampire, the Vampire council swooped in and cleaned out her nest and killed the master that turned her. They gave her bagged blood and turned her into an assassin for them and had to continue to be so for a certain length of time. At present she and her friend Olivia have a dozen years of service left and they are after an enforcer who has been hunting vampires and cleaning out nests. It turns out the man they are after is someone she used to know and have a crush on.

I like this series so much especially because every book has a different setting and though there are overarching storylines, the main romance storyline is new and distinct in each book, with different races of human and paranormal individuals in each book. I really have liked all the characters, especially the women who are feisty and strong.

This book is told in multiple points of view via solo narration and was narrated by Savannah Richards. She has been doing a terrific job on this whole series so far and though I don’t usually buy audiobooks with solo narration, I ended up buying this whole series. I like the books so much I bought many of Laurann Dohner’s other series as well.
