Have you guys read Ms Dohner’s New Species series? If so, well even if not, you are going to
love her VLG series. That stands for Vampires,
Lycans, Gargoyles, but includes every kind of mix in between, just in case you
were wondering. I really do love this
series, she takes us on this path where all of these different species mix
together, some not in a very good way, but throughout the books she keeps the
thread going and how each character is intertwined with the rest of the
clans. I know that we just recently got
two new books in this series (cover your ears, inner fangirl squeeeeing going
on) but I hope they are not the last. Each
book has a completely new couple that goes on this fantastic journey to defeat
whatever foes have been set against them and find their HEA. You can read each of these by themselves, but
they are so much more fun to read as a whole.
You know the drill, just click on any of the pictures or
links below to head on over to Amazon and pick up your own copy. You are not going to want to miss this.
Happy Reading

Drantos (VLG Series book 1)
Published to Amazon on December 22, 2015
Author Laurann Dohner
For most, a plane crash means the end of life. For Dusti
Dawson, it’s just the
beginning…
Dusti and her sister Batina survived the crash, thanks to a couple of brothers who
are equal parts menacing and muscled. She’d be grateful…if they hadn’t turned out to
be delusional kidnappers, who believe Dusti’s grandfather is some monstrous halfbreed
creature bent on murder. Turns out Vampires, Lycans, and Gargoyles do exist—
and they’ve been crossbreeding to form two hybrid races. Drantos, the man Dusti can’t
stop lusting after, is one of the most dangerous of all.
VampLycans Drantos and Kraven were sent to eliminate a threat to their clan. But
when that threat turns out to be mostly human women, clueless of their lineage, plans
change—especially after Drantos gets a taste of Dusti’s blood. Now, he’ll die to protect
her. Even if that means walking away from everything he knows to keep her at his side.
Is her strong desire for Drantos reason enough to endure danger coming from all
sides? Or should Dusti cut and run the first chance she gets?
Author Note: VLG stands for Vampires, Lycans, Gargoyles…and breeds in
between. Living in Alaska’s harsh, pristine territories, these creatures live and love
fiercely. These are their stories.

All wrapped up
This author has once again brought us a series that kept me
glued to my seat. I love the characters, the intricate relationships and the
broad storyline. Add to that the story of this couple and their HEA and I’m
already salivating at the thought of reading the next book. I look forward to
reading all about Bat and the rest of the clan as they continue to overcome the
bad guys and find their true mates. So exciting! I know what I’ll be
reading for the next couple of days.

Kraven (VLG Series book 2)
Published to Amazon on January 29, 2016
Author Laurann Dohner
Batina Dawson wants two things most in her life. She’s
determined to become a partner at her law firm and secure her younger sister’s
financial future. That’s why she talked Dusti into flying to Alaska, to mend
fences with their terminally ill, rich grandfather. It seemed to be a perfect
plan—until things go wrong.
The plane crashes and their lives are saved by two large, muscled brothers. Kraven is a spiked-haired menace with a handsome face and a killer body. He also believes she’s in danger from her own grandfather, and that Vampires and Lycans once bred, making him a VampLycan. He even claims her mother was one too. He may have kidnapped Bat, but his misguided hero complex is almost sweet. She knows exactly what defense she’ll use if he becomes one of her clients. Insanity.
Kraven is frustrated. Bat refuses to stop arguing with him at every opportunity. She’s stubborn, mouthy, and oh so sexy. She might be right when she accuses him of being crazy—she’s driving him nuts. But she’s in danger and he’ll stop at nothing to keep her safe.

Hiding her emotions
I love this second book in the series. The author did a
great job of glossing over the shared beginning while managing to give us
details from a different perspective. Then she took us on a wild chase towards
a connection we all wished we would find with our HEA. She even managed to set
us up for the next book without giving away too much information. I am so
buying the next book in the series.

Lorn (VLG Series book 3)
Published to Amazon on May 24, 2016
Author Laurann Dohner
Being raised among a race of half-breed Vampires and Lycans
has been far from easy for Kira. VampLycans despise humans—and her mother’s
human blood runs deep in Kira’s veins. Unable to shift, having few VampyLycan
traits at all, Kira is denied acceptance from the clan…and the love of the man
she’s wanted since childhood. A little girl’s crush that’s bloomed into a
desire so strong, it threatens to consume her. Suffering the pain of Lorn
someday finding a mate is not an option.
With their evil clan leader, Decker Filmore, currently on the run, it’s the perfect time for Kira to escape; to leave Alaska behind and attempt happiness elsewhere. Just one more day, and she’s gone for good.
Lorn has a difficult decision to make, one that will change not only his life, but the lives of everyone he knows. He’s been asked to take control of his clan. With Decker gone, the time for such a drastic power play is now. It’s a responsibility Lorn has never wanted—but the choice is made for him when Kira is unexpectedly attacked, changing her in a way that should mean her death. Now, he’ll do what it takes, kill whoever he has to, to keep her from being executed under clan law.
If he can defeat his enemies and gain leadership, Lorn will change all the rules for Kira—or die trying.

The next book is going to be awesome, I just know it.

Veso (VLG Series book 4)
Published to Amazon on February 21, 2017
Author Laurann Dohner
Drugged and kidnapped by Vampires, presumed dead by his
clan, powerful VampLycan Veso must rely on a creature he dislikes almost as
much as the suckheads who nabbed him if he hopes to escape - a human. But when
Glenda proves more resourceful than most of her kind, he agrees to see her
safely through the Alaskan wilderness. He'll have to fight an overwhelming
attraction to the inquisitive beauty every excruciating step of the way.
Glen doesn't know which is worse: learning she's the distant relative of a Vampire who fancies himself a king (um...what?!), or the fact that said relative is trying to force her to birth his queen by mating her with a half Vampire, half Lycan. Veso is scary, has claws, but he's also key to her survival. She just wishes that she didn't notice all his muscles or the way her body responds to his. He has promised to keep her alive but she might lose her heart in the bargain.

Human enough
Poor Veso starts this story in a bit of a bind. Good thing
for him the author doesn’t leave him languishing for long. Glen may be only
human, but she sure holds her own as they travel towards freedom and their HEA.
This book is full of action and adventure and learning how to change your point
of view. I really enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to the next book by
this author.

Published to Amazon on March 7, 2017
Author Laurann Dohner
Jadee Trollis knows a little something about things that go
bump in the night. Thanks to a father obsessed with myths, legends, and the
paranormal, Jadee was dragged around the world in his pursuit of everything
from ghosts to Sasquatch as a child. She got away from all that craziness in
her teens, seeking a normal life as an adult. A trip to Alaska to visit her
father quickly turns into a nightmare. Jadee ends up trapped in her father’s
tricked-out RV, hiding from the dangerous Vampires outside.
Lavos is the hottest man she’s ever seen when he comes to her rescue. He growls, has some seriously strange but beautiful eyes, and he’s not human. But returning to the lower forty-eight might not be the safety net she’s expecting, and the normal life Jadee craves more than anything means never seeing Lavos again. When she finds herself in need of his help, it seems her new normal may be back in Alaska, waiting in her VampLycan’s arms.

If you love them let them go
What an amazing story! This woman is the most
well-rounded person I have ever seen. She suffers such a tragedy and yet
manages to pull up her britches and power through. She even does the unexpected
to save herself. Lavos is just as awesome. He did the right thing once, but
when she wonders back into his world nature takes over. I think my
favorite part is Lycan PMS. Who doesn’t love the thought of a guy wanting to
tie his woman completely to him. I can’t wait to read the next book!

When Gerri’s VampLycan stepfather died, her mother moved
them far from his clan. As a teen, it was the most devastating day of her life,
because it took Gerri away from Wen, the boy she’d loved since childhood.
Fifteen years later, that boy has become a gorgeous man straight out of her
wildest fantasies—and when he requests to meet her, Gerri suspects just seeing
him will set her up for heartbreak all over again.
The petite blonde he fell for as a young VampLycan is still beautiful—and all human. Though Gerri’s always been the one he longs to be with, Wen can’t mate her. After the death of his brother, Wen was forced to assume the duties of firstborn, which include mating another VampLycan. But he needs a human to pull off his current mission for his clan, hunting a rogue Vampire in a human city. And he’ll take any stolen moments with Gerri he can get.
As the danger surrounding the mission mounts, so does their passion, until it’s equally perilous. It will take everything in him to keep Wen from claiming his mate…because doing so could mean her death.

The emotions the author has been able to capture between the pages are truly
amazing. You can feel the longing and passion between the two characters and
all of the excitement as they go on their mission to find the enemy and make
their way to their HEA. I really enjoyed how she created the dialogue between
the characters and the details she put into the storyline. I am looking forward

Jillian Milzner has lived a life on the run. Her biological
sperm donor has made it clear he wishes she’d never been born. Most kids get
presents from their dads growing up. He sent thugs to make death threats to

daydreams.

Not everything is as it seems
This book is packed full of revealed secrets and action, I
love it! Aveoth is one of my favorite characters, he is so quiet and
misunderstood you just know he has to be hiding a gentle soul beneath all that
stone. They might have met under unorthodox circumstances, but he and Jill were
meant to be together. The best part of this book is that we finally get to see
what happens to the neighborhood bully. I really hope the author continues to
add books to this series, we keep meeting all of these characters I just can’t
wait to see reach their HEA.

courage to approach Trayis during one of his infrequent visits. She’s hoping
for just one night of ecstasy before she spends her life alone, unwanted.

He’s more than happy to pick her over one of them. She might not be his type but it’s just sex. He’s up for that. What he doesn’t plan on is how she makes him feel.
So much for a simple vacation and a one-night stand.

What a wonderful example of why this author continues to be
one of my one-click authors. She brings these stories full of fantastic
characters, action, adventure, family and love. Where the alphas are dreamy,
the women are strong and courageous, and family is the most important thing. I
love that Trayis finally found his HEA and she couldn’t have created a better
mate for him he is the protector of the weak and innocent, he needed a
mate who was tough enough to save herself and gentle enough to need him. I really
hope the author continues to amaze us with books from this series. I can’t wait
to read the next one.

I'm a full time wife, mother, and author. I've been lucky enough to have spent over two decades with the love of my life and look forward to many, many more years with Mr. Laurann. I'm addicted to iced coffee, the occasional candy bar (or two), and trying to get at least five hours of sleep at night.
I love to write all kinds of stories. I think the best part about writing is the fact that real life is always uncertain, always tossing things at us that we have no control over, but when writing you can make sure there's always a happy ending. I love that about being an author. My favorite part is when I sit down at my computer desk, put on my headphones to listen to loud music to block out everything around me, so I can create worlds in front of me.
