Rendition During Books Wicked as They Come (Blud #1)
When nurse Tish Everett forced open the pesky but lovely locket she found at an estate sale, she had no idea she was answering the call of Criminy Stain, from the far off land of Sang. He’d cast a spell for her, but when she’s transported right to him, she’s not so sure she’s ready to be under the spell of another man. (It didn’t go so well last time with controlling, abusive, domineering Jeff.) If only Criminy wasn’t so deliciously rakish….Half the inhabitants of Sang are Pinkies—human—and the other half are Bludmen, who in Tish’s world would be called vampires. But they don’t mess with any of the bat/coffin/no sunlight nonsense. They’re rather like you and me, just more fabulous, long living, and mostly indestructible. (They're also very good kissers.) But when the evil Mayor of Manchester (formerly Bludchester) redoubles his efforts to rid Sang of the Bludmen once and for all, stealing Tish’s locket in hopes of traveling back to her world himself for reinforcements, Criminy and Tish must battle ghosts, sea monsters, wayward submarines, a secret cabal, and thundering Bludmares to get the locket back and allow Tish to return home…but has she found love with Criminy? Could she stay in Sang forever?

Hey you!Yes, you! The cheesy author with the creepy face! May I have your attention please!Have a look at this book, Wicked As They Come. Lets analyze it a bit. Yes, the cover hints for a typical paranormal romance book. Yes, the title is as cheesy as all the books in this genre. Who can miss the topless dude on the cover, eh? *wink wink*And whats up with the Slash hat dude?? Is he gonna rock me out of my world? Play a little solo with his skilled fingers?Heh.So the signs are there. TYPICALShe shouldn't have really taken the locket. But when twenty-five year-old nurse, Letitia Paisley Everett finds an antique locket in the house of one of her recently deceased patients, she's intrigued. Inside is a portrait of a man. Slipping it over her neck that night she falls asleep, only to wake up later, naked, (with the locket still around her neck), lying on a stone in the woods. Standing nearby watching her is the man whose portrait was inside the locket."You're here," he said simply."Do
Wicked As They Come has the following endearing features:1. The ever-useful love triangle clutch,2. insta-love,3. slow beginning syndrome,4. unnatural and stiff dialogue,5. contradictory characters,...and the list goes on.What I liked:1. Putting aside how dull it was for a second, the beginning was very, very exciting to read because I kept feeling it would somehow lead to more. I instantly loved Criminy and how the story had a slight Alice in Wonderland feel to it. I was even sympathizing with
4.5 starsThis one was a hard-to-put-down, crazy fantasy that made me wish I could read it again for the first time. Those are few and far between. The heroine finds an enchanted locket that transports her to an alternate reality where bunnies can strip your bones and clockworks replace modern technology. She is unknowingly answering the call of our hero, a vampire, gypsy king, who runs a traveling carnival. Loved me some hero who was not too tall, could juggle, dance and do magic while letting
This book has vampire bunnies.Okay, so, I think that picture originally came from this picture of a bunny eating a cherry:But still. In this world, they are called blud bunnies. There are lots of blud creatures: bludrats, bludmares...Letitia is a homecare nurse who finds herself transported to another reality called Sang through a magical necklace she finds at an estate sale. When she gets to Sang, she meets Criminy Stain, a Bludman who runs a traveling carnival. They are forced to go on a
***********Steampunk, pnr with explicit sex and lots of blood (but not too gory). No typos, minimal cussing (if any), no profanity. Nicely done! ăƒ„***********This is book 1 of the Blud series. It is Delilah Dawson's debut novel and one of the better paranormal romances I have read this year. I also liked the shorter sequel The Mysterious Madam Morpho. Here is my review for the sequel. Spoil-free synopsis: One day in contemporary Alabama, Letitia Paisley Everett (her POV), a hospice-care nurse,
3.5 STARS"Perhaps that's the difference between predators and prey, love. I'll never stop hunting. But I expect that one day, you'll stop running.""Because I want to die.""Because you want to live." Steampunk, Vampires and an Alice in Wonderland Theme.All the reasons why this shouldn't have worked for me.This is only my second steampunk book (the first was meh), I'm not a big fan of vampire stories in PNR and definitely not a big fan of the whole modern woman getting transported to a magical
