Mijn geheime Vampier
Welcome to the Castle!
For nineteen years, I was just an ordinary Californian guy. Until I almost died in an accident, and Count Dracula suddenly stuck his teeth into my throat. As his great-grandnephew and rightful heir, he ships me off to freaking Transylvania to learn how to be a vampire the hard with no staff to eat, no chance to escape, and no Wi-Fi. It’s just the place to go mental. And starve.
But there’s this girl. Abigail… For some reason, she likes to roam the dark and musty castle. She claims to know nothing about vampires, but I swear she tries to kill me every damn time we meet. I’d have invited her to be my dinner tonight if she hadn’t fled with something very dear to me. My fang.
An unexpected fantasy perfect for fans of The Night World series and The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith, Twilight by Stepheny Meyer, Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick, and the Fallen series by Lauren Kate!

Quentin is the last descendant of Dracula. He was saved from certain death and changed into a vampire. For 20 years he has been pampered and has become a poor excuse for a vampire. He doesn’t know mind control or even simple vampire tricks. He’s been feeding off the staff and taking the easy option. His uncle has had enough. Quentin is an embarrassment to the Dracula name. It’s time for him to stand on his own two feet and so he’s sent away to Dracula’s castle. The one without modern upgrades. No staff, no plug sockets and no comforts. It’s just a beautiful gothic castle located in Transylvania.
In the castle, he finds a beautiful visitor. She smells nice and is his favourite blood type, but Quentin can’t even enjoy a quick snack. If he bites her she would tell the whole village. Quentin must learn how to be a vampire or how to persuade a human to like him.
Fangs is a romance and also a mystery. There is a wolf that Quentin is supposed to deal with and the sun isn’t as big of a problem when it’s hidden behind beautiful scenery. This is light-hearted and a different take on vampires. Quentin is a sorry excuse for a vampire and does everything wrong. This is a modern tale in an old fashion setting.
4 stars out of 5. It’s something different. *I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Quentin era um rapaz de 19 anos... eternamente.
Após ele e seus pais sofrerem um acidente de carro, seu tio, mais conhecido como Vladimir (cof cof... Conde Drácula), decidiu transformá-lo em vampiro para não perder seu único parente.
Mas como todo adolescente, ele não estava exatamente querendo ter responsabilidades.
Por isso, depois de duas décadas sendo instado pelo tio a aprender a ser um vampiro de verdade, Quentin é enviado à Transilvânia para provar seu valor.
Ele teria de caçar um lobisomem berserk (ou seja, um lobo enlouquecido) que poderia colocar o reino das criaturas da noite em maus lençóis entre os humanos, além de aprender a dominar os poderes da mente.
Fracasso!
Mas Quentin acabou contando com a ajuda de uma humana muito parceira, que adorava visitar o castelo abandonado de Drácula, mas que, sem querer, fez Quentin enfrentar situações inusitadas... e hilárias.
A conclusão desse encontro torna-se para lá de surpreendente. O que não é surpresa é que o casalzinho acaba se apaixonando.
Mas como poderiam dar certo sendo ela humana e ele, um vampiro que nunca envelheceria?
Enredo young-adult super envolvente. Você ri (e gargalha) e torce pelo casal.
Ah! E tem um lobisomem para lá de sexy.
LEIA!!!!!

*Note. I received a free copy of Fangs (Nightshadow Book 1) by Anna Katmore in exchange for a review. So I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I must say that this was an entertaining read and just what I needed. It was a cute, sweet and innocent YA story. It was a quick, light and very relaxing read, which I enjoyed very much.
The romance was perfect, even though, they fell in love in a few day span, it by no means felt as insta-love, but exactly opposite, I felt like it was a beautiful slow-born romance.
The characters felt like mature enough teens as they didn't act complacently dumb or irresponsible. However, Quentin, did act more like a teenager and not as a person in his actual age, but it didn't bother me. I liked both Abigail and Quentin and their interactions. Also Abigail's nana was such a perfect grandma :)
This book is perfect for younger teen audience because it was a clean romance book, but also older teens and even adults could appreciate this sweet story So 4.5 stars from me :)

Anna Katmore has created a feisty tale of intrigue and romance with enough twists to keep the reader guessing.

For nineteen years, I was just an ordinary Californian guy. Until a car crash almost killed me, and Count Dracula suddenly stuck his teeth into my throat. As his great-great-grandnephew and rightful heir, he ships me off to freaking Transylvania to learn how to be a vampire the hard way: with no staff to eat, no chance to escape, and no Wi-Fi. It’s just the place to go mental. And starve.
But there’s this girl. Abigail… For some reason, she likes to roam the dark and musty castle. She claims to know nothing about vampires, but I swear she tries to kill me every damn time we meet. I would have invited her to be my dinner last night if she hadn’t fled with something very dear to me. My fang.
Now, I’m waiting for sundown to find her and get my tooth back. And then I’ll kill the werewolf that howls in the forest, because that’s actually the one condition under which Uncle Vladimir allows me to return home.
But the wolf problem is harder to solve than expected. And Abigail’s cookie-like scent is making me do really stupid things…
Rating: 4/5 Penguins
Quick Reasons: super entertaining; LOVE the dark, witty humor; somewhat cliche in the "vampires and werewolves lore" aspect; I was hard-put to put this down once I picked it up; so many pop culture references, I could diiiiie!
HUGE thanks to Anna Katmore and YA Bound Book Tours for sending a complimentary galley of this title my direction! This in no way altered my review of or opinions on this book.
I lift the stake, the sharp point pressing into his stomach. "You better be careful, vampire. I came prepared."
Quentin gives me an intense look that feels as if it disconnects me from the world and totally pulls me into his spell. He wraps his fingers around my hand and very gently moves it higher on his body. "Go for the heart, little warrior," he whispers. "You don't want to make me suffer."
I had a LOT of fun with this book, Penguins. Of course, if you've been following my blog for a while, you'll know that I have a LOT of fun with a LOT of vampire books, so this shouldn't come as any big surprise. While this book was full to the brim with cliches about vampire and werewolf lore, I felt like the witty banter and humor of the POVs (especially Quentin's) helped keep me entertained and giggling throughout. I especially adored his habit of calling humans--particularly Abigail--food names. Cookie was a favorite--I about died laughing the first time he referred to her as such!
The character growth/arcs in this novel are endearing, though Abigail was a bit of an overdramatic soul throughout the entirety of this novel. The different obstacles these characters faced along the way happened in a pretty short window of time, but were written in such a way that I could still "believe" them. The only thing I guess I really couldn't wrap my head around, was the fact that EVERYONE ELSE in this town knew about Abigail's grandma's connection with the occult...and yet Abigail didn't have the slightest clue? That seemed a bit too unrealistic to me, though maybe Abigail just wasn't very observant.
"Don't go..." I beg her again and bring her hands up to the back of my neck where I lace her fingers. Then I caress down her arms and her sides until my palms rest on her hips again. Softly, I sway her to the final chords of the song, touching my forehead to her brow. "Just for tonight, let's pretend there's not an eternity between us."
Overall, I had a BLAST reading this novel. The characters' interactions are witty and full of sarcasm (just how I like them); the growth was believable; and I didn't have much trouble at all getting lost in this world. Hats off to Anna Katmore for crafting such a delightful, awesome journey! There's more to this story than coffin and teeth, Penguins...will you discover what lurks in the shadows?

Just because you're a vampire, doesn't mean you're over the rebellious teenage phase. Being the nephew of the infamous Vlad Dracula doesn't make it any easier. But getting shipped off to Transylvania for the summer is probably the best thing that's happened to Quentin, even if it results in a bit of haphazard torture at the hands of a cookie... ahem, a girl named Abby.
This was a surprisingly sweet romance, wrapped in a dark, angsty, vampire coming of age story. Haha. I kinda expected there to be more humor to this, and while it had snark, it wasn't so much laugh out loud funny. Which worked. But yeah, I think it was the romance that really put this one over the edge of "I'm not so sure," to "Yeah, that was worth it".
If you like your vampire bad boys snarky and edgy, this book is definitely for you.

Dit is een leuke roman met vampiers.
De personages waren leuk er is spanning en liefde.
Quentin die humor heeft maar ook Sarcasme en Abigail die vriendelijk is en hem graag wilde helpen maar toen ze er achter kwam dat hij een vampier is niet zo goed meer wist wat ze er mee aan moest.
Ik heb van dit boek genoten het was vermakelijk.

„Don’t bite“ von Anna Katmore ist ein Fantasyroman, der am 07.04.2019 erschienen ist.
Der Schreibstil ist flüssig und angenehm zu lesen, und man kann sich gut in die Geschichte fallen lassen.
Ich habe eine Weile keine reinen Vampirbücher mehr gelesen, da mir das Schema immer so ähnlich erschien, aber bei der Beschreibung dieses Buches musste ich dann doch unbedingt zugreifen, denn es versprach etwas komplett ungewohntes - und genau das hat es auch gehalten.
Allein schon der Beginn von Quentin’s Vampirlaufbahn ist doch anders, als man es gewöhnt ist, und auch der Verlauf der Story ist ungewöhnlich und nicht so klischeebeladen wie es bei vielen Büchern leider der Fall ist. Die Autorin hat hier eine ganz andere Art von Geschehen für ihre Protagonisten heraufbeschworen, und das Lesen hat mir wirklich viel Freude bereitet. Man hat in diesem Werk einen guten Mix aus Spannung, Geheimnisse, Humor und Gefühl, und man wird mitgezogen von einer richtig tollen Geschichte. Bei Quentin war ich mir manchmal nicht sicher, soll ich ihn bemitleiden, oder ihm mal gehörig den Kopf waschen?? Einfach toll, wie nah man sich den Protagonisten fühlt. Dadurch, dass man mal aus Sicht von Quentin, mal aus Sicht von Abigail den Geschehnissen folgt, hat man einen super Einblick in beider Gedanken, so wird dieses sich nahe fühlen noch verstärkt. Und so fällt es einem leicht, dieses Buch zu lesen, da man sich einfach sehr gut einfühlen kann und sich in die Lektüre fallenlassen kann.
Ein sehr schöner und ungewöhnlicher Roman, der von mir 5 Sterne bekommt.

Wieder eine wunderbare, super humorvolle Geschichte von Anna Katmore!
Quentin ist ein Vampir und wurde von seinem Onkel Dracula nach Rumänien verdonnert, um endlich seine Fähigkeiten zu trainieren und ein Werwolfproblem zu lösen. Abby ist wie üblich in den Sommerferien zu Besuch bei ihrer Großmutter und lernt dort Quentin kennen. Sie hilft ihm aus der Patsche und versucht, ihren Hals aus der Schlinge äh von seinen Fangzähnen zu halten.
Der Schreibstil von Anna Katmore ist phänomenal. Ich bin dauernd am Lachen gewesen und die Story ist sehr unterhaltsam, nicht vorhersehbar. Unbedingt lesen!

I loved Fangs. It’s a vampire book and a sweet romance all in one sparkly parcel, and I enjoyed every minute of it. It’s fabulous escapism that makes you smile, and is packed full of magic. If you loved Anna Katmore’s Red Riding Hood and Peter Pan stories, you love this one too. I always try to read these stories somewhere special, comfortable and peaceful, it’s my gift to myself.
Quentin is a lightweight vampire. He’s not learned any of the skills and talents he should have inherited from his uncle, Vladimir Dracula, preferring instead to take it easy and enjoy life.
This comes to an end when Dracula takes things into his own hands, and sends Quentin to Romania to figure out this Vampire lark unassisted.
Abbey is spending the summer with her Grandmother in Romania, but the older woman doesn’t know she sneaks up to the old castle to poke around.
When Abbey bumps into a coffin she is horrified, but that bump kicks off an unexpected journey of discovery about herself, life, love and what is possible.
