Prey by Melina Morel



Genre: Paranormal Romance; Vampires, Shapeshifters, Hunters
Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy
Rating: 2 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: The Secret. The Hunger. The Dark. It takes more than passion to bring two strangers together. An importer of Russian artifacts, Vivian Roussel prefers a low profile in order to keep her private life a secret. Vivian is a werecat, a descendant of an ancient demigoddess, and highly regarded in Manhattan’s night world. But when she’s robbed of a priceless icon, she has only one recourse for protection. A surveillance expert and Russian Blue werecat, Pavel Federov never looks at a client as anything other than a contract. Until Vivian. Drawn to her in ways that have nothing to do with business, Pavel soon discovers that whoever stole the icon has something far more dangerous in mind. He has marked Vivian as his next target – a lovely bit of prey that holds the key to one of Manhattan’s most explosive international secrets.

This is the second book in the Vivian Roussel series. So in this novel it seemed to be a little bit better in being a Paranormal Romance from the first one. But I still did not really like this story. This story took a little different turn than I was expecting. I just wish that had been better story. As I felt like there was something lacking. The next book in this series is Smolder.

Devour by Melina Morel



Genre: Paranormal Romance; Vampires, Shapeshifters, Hunters
Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy
Rating: 2 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Set in modern-day New York City, Devour weaves a spellbinding tale about a woman who will journey into the heart of danger to fulfill her destiny… The Hunter She has one reason for coming to Manhattan. It is her fate. The latest in a long line of werewolf hunters, she has come for him. The Werewolf Dashing Pierre de Montfort has rarely had trouble hiding his cursed heritage. But now, with his secret about to be revealed, he is willing to do anything – and savage anyone – in order to stay alive. The Vampire Beautiful and intrepid Catherine Marais has no qualms about her destiny. Nothing will stop her from destroying the last Montfort werewolf – not even Ian Morgan, the two-hundred-year-old vampire whose electrifying touch could tempt Catherin to indulge in a forbidden darkness from which she may never return.

This is the first book in the Vivian Roussel series. I was sad to say left me wanting. It stated to being a Paranormal Romance. But I didn’t feel that it was really a romance novel. I thought that it is more of an Urban Fantasy. I just didn’t find the story to be compelling but I wanted to give the writer another try and will give the next book in this series, Prey a try.
