STAKE SAUCE ARC 2 BY RoANNA SYLVER : BOOK REVIEW , EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT & GIVEAWAY
 |
BLURB
Act 2, In Which: Our friends, some old and some new, must awaken a powerful, centuries-old magical force - before an old enemy gets there first...
Life for Jude is finally getting back to normal - or as normal as it gets when your new boyfriend has fangs, your old maybe-boyfriend isn't dead after all (and has even bigger fangs), and everyone's scrambling to adjust their lives accordingly.
There's enough to worry about without evil, ancient vampires closing in, preparing dark rituals, and threatening to undo everything Jude, Pixie, and their loved ones have built together. But as they've all seen, normal doesn't tend to last for long. And it's hard to shake the feeling that something's missing.
But then, it seems like everybody's missing somebody.

EXCERPT Outlived you after all, fucker,” he whispered to the body,
every word a hard-won victory. “I’m still here.” Then the first raindrop smacked squarely on his forehead, making him jump
again, and remember where he was. As he scrambled to leave the macabre scene,
he flipped up his hood, taking refuge beneath the single undamaged piece of his
sweatshirt. A misty and slow-soaking Oregon rain began to fall, white noise filling the
unnatural silence. Vampire corpses tended to be quick to decay, and if the rain
held, the murder site would be washed clean of most evidence. The stone circle,
however, would still be here, filled with strange and ominous power, and
waiting for its requirement to be fulfilled.

REVIEW
This is book 2 in the series and should be read in the series order for maximum enjoyment.
We get to see Jude and Pixie's relationship evolve in this book.
They are adorable together and it was fun to follow up on how things progressed in their relationship since book 1.
What I especially liked about this series is the wide spectrum of gender representation we get to see.
This book really has it all and so much more.
Rarely do I find myself liking a sequel more than first book especially with the same character couples, but I absolutely adored this one.
The world building was engaging and compelling and the characters were fun and enjoyable to read.
If you liked book 1 in this series you will love this sequel.
It's a spectacular spooky read with amazing characters and all the gender representation you can imagine.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
RoAnna Sylver writes unusually hopeful dystopian and vampire stories about marginalized heroes actually surviving, triumphing, and rocking really hard. RoAnna is also a singer, blogger, and artist who lives with family near Portland, OR, and probably spends too much time playing videogames. The next amazing adventure RoAnna would like is a nap in a pile of bunnies.
