Possessed by a Vampire (Immortal Hearts of San Francisco #4) by Susan Griscom review

Possessed by a Vampire by Susan Griscom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Susan Griscom’s POSSESSED BY A VAMPIRE is an exciting and worthwhile read. Becoming a vampire changed Preston (Elvis) Knight’s life for the better. Lily Grey’s life has become hell since becoming a vampire. This contemporary PNR is suitable for adult audiences. It is told from Preston’s and Lily’s point of views.

Susan Griscom does a great job with her character development. I like Lily. She has some compelling secrets. She is a great sister who will do anything to protect her brother, Julian. Preston is a worthy hero. He had a horrible life as a human. He is uncomfortable with others knowing his past. He is protective and determined. Preston and Lily have fantastic chemistry. There are a lot of things going on that make it difficult for the two to get together. Preston and Lily are both complex characters that have evolved tremendously through their lifetimes.

Preston has a great group of friends. They are loyal and would do anything for one another. I love the name of their band.

Dorian is an interesting character. He is complicated, and you are not always sure how he is going to react. He adds interest to the story.

The plot was original and well executed. I like how the character’s lives intertwine. POSSESSED BY A VAMPIRE is skillfully written and has great twists. This was the first book that I have read in the Immortal Hearts of San Francisco series. I am interested in reading both the earlier and future books in this series. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Captivated by the Vampire by Susan Griscom: Giveaway

She's a vampire. He's human and the best investigative reporter in the city. Their worlds mix as well as oil and water, but their attraction to each other is electric.

Josh Barrett knows his priorities—reporting the news as quickly and accurately as possible by day, drinking himself into a self-loathing stupor by night. His workaholic tendencies can’t completely mask the broken, depressed man he is inside. The horrific night that changed his life forever and left him broken-hearted and alone is forever fresh in his thoughts. But the torture is no less than he deserves. Until a beautiful, sexy, and utterly mysterious woman enters his life and changes everything. Chelle is absolutely enchanting, her allure captivating and the reporter in him is determined to learn all of her secrets.

Newly turned vampire Chelle Masterson only wants to find her place. Her unrequited love and devotion for her maker Lane has left Chelle broken, vowing to never fall for any man again. She’s determined to find her way in the scary new world of the immortals and begs for the chance to prove herself—to prove that she’s capable of surviving without the others. Unfortunately, she meets trouble head-on with her very first victim and ends up face to face with a very charming and handsome stranger. He seems to only want to help, but can she trust him?

As Josh slowly wins Chelle over, she decides to utilize his skills as a reporter to help uncover her past—a dark past that she cannot remember, but one she desperately needs to learn. Being around him is addicting, their connection undeniable, and she finds her will to keep him at arm’s-length dwindling.

The simple act of a Good Samaritan spirals into an obsession—much more than either of them thought possible. Their love becomes unfathomable, but it may not be enough to overcome the hurdles standing in their way…

Cian DeMarco, a sexy, rockstar billionaire vampire has lived in San Francisco's prestigious Cliff Side neighborhood in his beautiful mansion overlooking both the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean for seventy years. Happily—or so he thought. Until the rare beauty that is Magdalena De la Rosa sits down at one of the front-row tables in Club Royal where he and his band perform once a week.

Magdalena De la Rosa has it all—Bachelor's degree in journalism, a job she loves in California, a gorgeous apartment in San Francisco, and a dream guy. Except her boyfriend lives and works in Sacramento—an hour and a half drive from the city Magdalena has always fantasized about living in. All her dreams change, however, when she and her girlfriend find their way into an upscale nightclub and she's suddenly swept off her feet by the lead singer of that night's performing rock band, The Lost Boys. 

Sparks ignite between the two until a threat that was thought to no longer exist returns to wreak havoc on Cian's and Magdalena's lives. Will the temptation to be together outweigh the reality of what Cian must do to keep Magdalena safe from harm? 

A stand-alone book. The first in the all-new Immortal Hearts of San Francisco series. 18+ due to adult content.

 

“Wow I know its not the best word, but I am blown away by this book. I don't know why Susan didn't write this book sooner. I am so obsessed with Cian and Mags. The perfect combination of a sexy, dark brooding rocker and the sweet lovable girl, throw in the fact that the rocker is also a Vampire and you have the formula for a perfect book.” ~ Goodreads Reviewer “Yes! how I love a great hot vampire read.
