Review: The Coward's Way Out Ward of the Vampire #4 by Kallysten

Image
I received this ARC copy to give an honest review. Man Kallysten does it again in the 4th book of this series. Not only that these covers look amazing! They just draw you into the story. These novellas just keep getting better and better. When you start thinking you know what is going to happen bam she starts to surprise you yet again. With The Coward's Way Out we get a better look into Morgan and why he is the way he is and you get to see his personal demons.  My favorite quote in the book is "Love is a strange thing. Trying to reason with it is a fool's errand."  This goes perfect with this book being as Morgan and Angelina are so attracted to one another but yet only one of them wants to act upon it.  You also get to see a side of the butler Stephen that you never saw before. It is like with this book you get a personal view from those that live in the mansion which I think is perfect especially since I have followed this series fro

Life was never boring in Defiance! Excerpt: "Our class went to the school library for a research project. As I was looking for a book, a note that was folded up like a football flew over the top of a six-foot-high bookshelf and landed at my feet. It was a request for my friend Cindy and me to go on a double date with Randy and his best friend, Tim. The following day, a five-pound bag of sour balls mysteriously appeared in my locker, along with another note requesting a date. I found out where Randy's locker was and returned the candy, along with a note saying that Cindy and I had to work on Friday night, so we could not go on a date with them. A day or two later, the persistent guys asked where we worked, and I told them we worked at Murphy's in Defiance. (I actually did work there, but Cindy didn't have a job.) I thought that was the end of them, until they showed up at Murphy's on Friday night and tried to talk to me while I was working. I didn't even k

Maogupsie County. Ever heard of it? Yeah, most folks haven't. It's a place tucked away from city life, from fancy cars, mobile phones and cable television. We got us just one honest-to-god town and whole lot of country around it. We own a good bit of it, you'd never know it by lookin' at us, though. Us Pilkermans are an old family. Financed a good part of General Lee's war against northern aggression. Yep, we did. Here recently, we almost got us a fat mailbox money deal, but things didn't quite work out, well not for all of us. We ran when we shoulda stuck it out, spooked when we shoulda been calm and lived in an ignorance of our own making. But it wasn't all our own fault. No, you see, if'n our fine neighbors had been on the up and up, I'd wager things woulda been just fine. I put it all out on paper, good and proper so you can see for yourself. It's a right fine mess. Might want to put away the beverages while you read; I hear tell Coca-Cola s
