Book Review: Vampire Heir, by Heather Renee

I have a signed paperback of Vampire Heir, by Heather Renee. I believe it was purchased through an online multi-author event. But it’s possible I won it somewhere instead.

Sometimes befriending the enemy is the only option.

After losing my family, I’ve spent the last seven years hunting the monsters who killed them. I know my purpose and what I want most in this world. At least I did until a striking vampire shows up just in time for the threats to begin.

Maciah West makes me feel ways I shouldn’t and tells me things that can’t be possible. I don’t want to believe him, but as my past finds its way back into the present, I don’t really have a choice.

Even as I begin to accept the new changes in my life—and my growing feelings for Maciah—I don’t let that deter me from my goals. I’m still a vampire hunter and I’ll do whatever it takes to get the vengeance I’ve been fighting for.

No matter how many vampires are out for my blood.

my review

I’ve read one other Heather Renee book. My review of that book starts out, “This book is 295 pages long and basically nothing happens until the last 5 pages, when some action finally happens…” Renee seems to have a formula. The numbers are a bit off; my paperback copy of Vampire Heir is 284 pages, and something finally happens in the last 20 or so pages. But otherwise, this snippet of review works just as well here as it did for Wolf Kissed.

I was simply bored throughout. The book seems to bounce from one pointless event to the next at random. The FMC has the emotional depth of a firefly, and I simply didn’t like her. (I kept thinking of Barrie’s Tinker Bell, who can only feel one emotion at a time, and it’s usually anger.) I liked the MMC, but he’s a paper cutout with no depth or development. I felt zero chemistry in vampire heir photothe instant (but not insta-love even) relationship. The side characters are stereotypes, and all sound exactly the same. And the book is disappointingly predictable.

I own several of Renee’s books that I’ve picked up here and there. So, I’d hoped disliking the first was a one-off. Not every book is right for every reader. But I’m beginning to think her writing formula is what’s not for me, and therefore, I’m unlikely to enjoy any of them.

Book Review: Wolf Kissed, by Heather Renee

I purchased a Supernatural Book Crate and Heather Renee‘s Wolf Kissed was included as one of the books.

Wolf Kissed Heather Renee

Fighting fate isn’t for the weak.

Cait
I am many things, but a supernatural being isn’t one of them. At least until a crescent mark appears on my wrist and everything changes. I’ve been marked by a wolf goddess, yet no one knows what that means, myself included.

On top of that, I find out my best friend is a werewolf and her pack alpha is my mate. Just like that my future is supposed to be decided—unless I find a way out.

Roman
When fate sends a human mate my way, I’m certain it has to be a mistake. An alpha is supposed to have an equal at his side. Cait might be strong in her own ways, but what she is makes her an easy target in my world.

Regardless, Cait is mine to protect and I have every intention of showing her this is where she belongs—in my pack, by my side.

my review

This book is 295 pages long and basically nothing happens until the last 5 pages, when some action finally happens so that the book can end on a cliffhanger. I’m serious. The h & H meet in the first chapter. Then she spends the whole rest of the book whining and denying their bond and he spends the whole time pining and telling her he wants her. Nothing else progresses, develops, or happens. It’s repeat, repeat, repeat. And it’s all just so ridiculous. She’d only even known about shifters for about two weeks, about the mate bond for a single week. That she hadn’t accepted it yet isn’t surprising or anything to base life decisions on. So, it all felt blown out of proportion.

I liked the writing. The editing was clean. The world seems interesting. But I don’t know that I’ll continue the series. I get the feeling every book will cover equally little ground and then end on a cliffhanger. I just can’t be bothered.
