A stand-alone, spoiler-free short novel in Colleen Gleason’s international bestselling series, The Gardella Vampire Hunters.
England, 1922 When the vampires Max Denton hunts brutally murder his wife, he is nearly destroyed himself. He spends his life in solitude, violence, and revenge.
But when sensitive information about his young daughter falls into the hands of the vampires, Max is forced to team up with the woman whose father ultimately caused the death of his wife.
Savina Eleaisa has secrets of her own, and she’s determined to do whatever it takes to clear her father’s name: even if it involves seducing the most dangerous of vampires–with or without the help of the arrogant, brooding Max Denton.
A short, stand-alone novel in the Gardella Vampire Hunters series set at a Downton Abbey type English estate.
I really liked this story a lot! After reading the first book in the Macey Gardella & Max Denton series, I was eager for more so I decided to jump into the first book that features Max, Macey’s father. This is a novella/short book but I thought it told a very big story. I was hooked right away and found it next to impossible to stop reading.
Max is a venator, or vampire hunter, and I thought that he was a fantastic character. He has been through a lot. When he was younger, vampires murdered his wife so he sent his daughter away to keep her safe. He is paired up to work with Savina, the daughter of the man he blames for his wife’s death, which goes over as well as you would think. I liked seeing him in action but I also liked seeing him let his guard down just a bit. Savina is pretty amazing herself. She is not a venator but has still joined the fight and hopes to clear her father’s name in the process. I thought that these two made a fantastic team.
I would definitely recommend this book to others. This is the second book in the Macey Gardella & Max Denton series, which is a spin-off of The Gardella Vampire Hunters series. I think that this story could work as a stand-alone but I would suggest reading the series in order if at all possible. I cannot wait to start reading the next book in the series.
I’ve never finished The Gardella Vampire Hunters series 😔 I know you can understand me when I say there are so many coming out that it’s hard to keep up with them all . . . Anyway, I’m glad you’re enjoying this spin-off, Carole!
It is hard to keep up! This series is very well done.
It sounds like this novella was a great addition to the series and really packed a punch!
I love the fact that some of these novellas can tell such a full story. This was a great read!
Ohh vampires. You had me at vampires. Definitely going to have to read this and bookmark the author so I can start her books.
I have been loving her vampire books! They are available in Kindle Unlimited if you have that, Mary!
Never heard of the series, but I like the sound of this one! I’m going to look it up.
I have been having a great time with these books, Rachel!
Ack, maybe one day!
I think that you would probably like this series but no audiobooks yet!
