Review: Drantos by Laurann Dohner



Author: Laurann Dohner
Title: Drantos
Series: VLG Series - Book 1
Beings: Shapeshifters

Rating: B
Heat: Burning

Bought from: Amazon
Read format: Ebook

Story:

For most, a plane crash means the end of life. For Dusti Dawson, it’s just the beginning… 


Dusti and her sister Batina survived the crash, thanks to a couple of brothers who are equal parts menacing and muscled. She’d be grateful…if they hadn’t turned out to be delusional kidnappers, who believe Dusti’s grandfather is some monstrous halfbreed creature bent on murder. Turns out Vampires, Lycans, and Gargoyles do exist— and they’ve been crossbreeding to form two hybrid races. Drantos, the man Dusti can’t stop lusting after, is one of the most dangerous of all. 



VampLycans Drantos and Kraven were sent to eliminate a threat to their clan. But when that threat turns out to be mostly human women, clueless of their lineage, plans change—especially after Drantos gets a taste of Dusti’s blood. Now, he’ll die to protect her. Even if that means walking away from everything he knows to keep her at his side. 

Is her strong desire for Drantos reason enough to endure danger coming from all sides? Or should Dusti cut and run the first chance she gets? 

Cover:
The cover is amazing! It stands out and it is appealing. I love it!

Review:
VLG is a new series by Laurann Dohner and it stands for Vampires, Lycans, and Gargoyles. I have read almost all books out there by Laurann and I have loved them all. I looked forward to reading this one even if shapeshifters aren't really my thing. 

At first, I didn't know what to expect. I found the story to be quite classical to a shapeshifter story. There were the laws, a town of their own, the clans, and of course, the shapeshifting. Very classical, but at the same time, the story had a twist of its own with the mixed vampire, lycan, and gargoyle bloodlines. I really look forward to Aveoth's book. I hope he will get one!

There was a lot of background and information about how things work in their world. Sometimes, it was a little bit difficult to follow, but eventually, it all sank in. 

The story was filled with action, true love, hot sex scenes and drama. A great mix and even if the book was long, I didn't experience it as such. I loved reading it. The only thing I didn't like was the sisters attitudes. Very unprofessional and immature sometimes, but in the end, I enjoyed reading this book. Definitely another success by Laurann Dohner!! I look forward to reading the next one in the series.

Review: Fury by Laurann Dohner




Author: Laurann Dohner
Title: Fury
Series: New species #1
Beings: Humanoid animals

Rating: A
Heat: Burning

Bought from: Amazon
Read book format: Ebook




Story:
Ellie works undercover at a pharmaceutical company to find proof of their illegal experiments where scientists have combined human and animal DNA, creating a new species. These people aren't treated well and Ellie will do anything to save them, especially one of them who has captured her heart. 

Cover:
A regular cover for erotic books, but I think it could have looked better if the text was placed differently.

Review:
This book made me really feel. I felt with the characters throughout the entire book. I smiled, laughed, worried and almost even cried. Laurann has a way with words and I like her writing. It also felt like a very unique story. The only backside was the dialogs. There were many repetitions, making me feel like I sometimes read an essay, but it didn't matter. The story was great, though this is not a book for everyone. Warning for rough scenes!

Cover:
This cover is different from the other two in the series. I would have prefered that the author sticked to the theme. At least the colors are the same, and it's not a bad cover. 

Review:
When I started to read this one I didn't really know what to expect, concidering that the first book was just amazing! But this one didn't let me down either. Elisabeth shows again that she's a great author.
