Born to Bite, Wicked After Dark Blog Hop
There are so many delicious stories, paranormal or not one can curl up with. But on Halloween, in your favorite spot or in the bed with the candles lit reading about a dark handsome hero who may or may not be a hero makes for a sweet Halloween night. So if you are busy on Halloween answering the door for trickier or treaters, or after a night of taking your own monsters and goblins door to door relax, with a wicked tale.
Born to Bite a collection of historical short reads Dark Secret from Hannah Howell, who tells a tale of orphan Murdina Dunbar who meets her Dark Lord posing as Sir Gillanders Baldwin while working as his maid per the lady of the house instructions. Both most flee the castle together and find out each other’s true nature along the way.
The second story is Highland Vampire by Diana Cosby. King of the Highland Coven of vampires Aedan Macgregor has finally met his mate. He assumed she was human but later discovered she was part fae. The penalty for turning a fae is immediate death but his enemies may leave him little choice.
Born to Bite is wrapped up by Erica Ridley’s Never Been Bitten. Miss Elspeth Ramsay is not like other ladies of the ton, she investigates paranormal activities for the coin, the idle rich have to waste. She is investigating rumored vampire Mr. Macane. During her investigation she discovers vampires are real and even more about herself and her heritage, all while falling for Mr. Macane the Highlander, hunter for his people.
Dark Secret | Highland Vampire | Never Been Bitten |
Bookswagger Marcia: Four crowns, good read on the way to swagger. I was really invested in Dark Secret, it did not read like a short story Mrs. Howell gave it her all. I loved the peak the story gave us into the well being of the MacNachtons. Murdina was a brave woman making her own way in a time that almost never happened. Sir Gillanders (read to find out his true identity) was a great and protective hero what we all want in our dark vampire heroes. | Four crowns, good read on the way to swagger. This story had me truly invested, we spent almost the entire read with the couple, with a few complications which made the plot extra juicy, very well done especially in a short story. I mean we have fae, vampires, plots to overthrow the throne and people trying to kill a witch. This was an exciting read. | Three Crowns, swagger jacked, decent read. I enjoyed Never Been Bitten but it was not as strong as the other stories in Born to Bite. The concept was one I was excited to read about though. I love vampires in regency settings, we always read about them in today’s time and get glimpses of their past with this story we get to see them living the life. |
Bookswagger Danielle: Four crowns, good read on the way to swagger. I liked the mix of vampirism and emotions, I found it to be an interesting combination. The chemistry between Murdina and Gillanders was instantaneous and believable. |
Four crowns, good read on the way to swagger. This was hands down my favorite story in Born to Bite. I found I didn’t want it to end. I wanted to shake Rowan sometimes for not listening. | Three Crowns, swagger jacked, decent read. This story had me on the fence. Ellie was smart (nerds rule) so I found it hard to believe it took her so long to come to the big “realization”. Coupled with what I felt was an abrupt ending made me like it not love it. |
