The Longest Night(Drake Chronicles #6.5)


 The Longest Night (Drake Chronicles, #6.5)
The Longest Night Summary:Since the Blood Moon battle six years ago, Lucy, and her hot vampire boyfriend Nicholas Drake, have kept the peace between the vampires of Violet Hill and the Helios-Ra hunters. But breaking up fights between rogue hunter Aggie and irresistible rebel Callahan is proving a big challenge; Aggie just can’t accept that behind Cal’s burning blue eyes, he is in control of his bloodlust. As Lucy’s best friend and Nicholas’s sister, Solange, return home for the group’s Winter Solstice celebrations, Aggie struggles to admit the real reason she finds Cal a threat – and risks far more than her heart . . .

The Longest Night Review:
After saying she would not write another book, Alyxandra wrote another one for the series. Although the book was so short, it was still action packed and a wonderful installment to the Drake Chronicles. Although, I did like Cal and Aggie, I preferred seeing Solange, Nick and all the others. Also, Hunter and Quinn are engaged after years of dating. I was sad that more of the other brothers weren't mentioned much or any of the adults. I honestly loved this book and was happy that this book was created. I am really hoping for a Lucy series now. Five stars once again.

Field Guide to Vampires(Drake Chronicles #1.5)


A Field Guide to Vampires: Annotated by Lucy Hamilton (Drake Chronicles, #4.5)
A Field Guide To Vampires Summary:
Every new recruit to the Helios-Ra Society is issued this guidebook, with secrets to the inner workings of the League the vampires they are hunting. But when new recruit Lucy Hamilton gets her hands on a copy, she can’t contain her inner snark-especially because she has first-hand knowledge of the various vampire societies that sometimes contradicts the conventional wisdom of her new academy.

A Field Guide To Vampires Review:
What a quirky little book. It could have been a novel actually with just a couple more pages. It was absolutely hilarious and definitely made my mood much brighter. It was already fun with just the handbook but with Lucy's comments in there as well. it was too funny. I really think it was one if the better books in the series. Definitely a five star!

Corsets and Crossbows (Drake Chronicles #0.1)

Corsets and Crossbows (Drake Chronicles, #0.1) Corsets and Crossbows Summary:
Rosalind Wild thinks it's time for the Helios-Ra to give full membership and recognition to the female descendants of the society-after all, it is 1816 and it's time to make room for new traditions. When Rosalind interrupts a plot to assassinate the leader of the Helios-Ra, she sees an opportunity to prove her worth. But she never expected the assassin to be someone so irresistible, and off-limits. Written as a series of letters to a close confidante, this exciting e-novella gives a glimpse of the early days of the vampire hunting society as seen through the eyes of Hunter Wild's feisty ancestor.


Corsets and Crossbows Review:
I really didn't expect to like this book as much as the full books in the series or even the other novellas. That was mainly because the whole book was written in diaries and for some reasons authors can't do those properly.  The book was exciting from beginning to end and I didn't want to put it down. I was happy that the book was that good. Also, a big secret was revealed about the Wild's family.  The secret brought a new view on how Hunter is and is kinda ironic considering how Caleb was with vampires. Really insightful just like Lost Girls! A wonderful read is one of the better short stories I've read.
