Angler #2
Catch
Caught between two vampires, Connie is torn between Rurik, the one she loves and Tane, the one she’d love to stake.
Hunger burns in Connie Bences’ soul--she craves the blood of her vampire lover, Rurik, but it’s not satisfying her needs anymore. It’s driving her insane. Desperate to find help, Rurik brings her to Rio De Janeiro, where Tane rules the vampire nation.
The back-stabbing vampire almost killed her and Rurik when they’d first met, then used them to obtain his crown. She would rather stake him, but the small drop of Nosferatu blood he’d forced her to drink in Budapest is blooming into a bond, one which ties her life to his. One he won’t hesitate to manipulate.
He admits to binding her so Rurik would have to remain at his side, but their timing couldn’t be any worse. The betrayer finds himself betrayed. Tane’s rule is in upheaval and he’s forced to place his trust in two people who owe him no allegiance—her and Rurik. In the middle of a power struggle, Connie fights to keep her lover, but didn’t plan on Tane slipping into her heart.

Hunter’s Review
I loved the first book in the Angler Series, Bait, and I was skeptical that the story even needed a second book. It seemed to me that Connie and Rurik had found true love and we didn’t need any more of this tale. However, I was clearly wrong. Bait is a fantastic book but Catch is awe-inspiring.
Ms. Nicholas has weaved of tale of intrigue, love, and betrayal that leaves Connie in a totally different place than she was at the end of the first book. Ms. Nicholas did the unthinking and took a character—Tane—who I adamantly disliked in the first book and made him hero-like in this book.
For me, there wasn’t enough Rurik. But could there ever be? Truly remarkable book, truly fantastic author. Now I’m just wondering if there will be a third? I hope so. I can’t wait to see where she could possibly take us now.

This book had me at hello. I was completely drawn into the story. Connie was used as bait by her former boss, Colby in book one in this series, Bait. However, in this book, she's in love with Rurik. He's a hot, passionate vampire who has a penchant for playing cat and mouse games with her. All is well until his blood no longer satisfies her. She is still human, but if she doesn't satisfy her thirst, bad things will happen. Enter, Tane. The Nosferatu vampire leader to whose blood she is apparently bound. She hates him, but needs him. He keeps her bound to him in order to keep Rurik close. Rurik is uneasy about the growing attraction between Connie and Tane, but he will step aside in order to give Connie what she needs. Talk about sexual tension. I loved this entire story. And the end... HOLLY SMOKES is all I'm saying.

One of the best new release books! Both Bait and this volume Catch have been added to my favs folder. Will read again for sure. Not just another vampire story but has an actual story to it. Suspence, emotion, humour, crime-solving and love. Contrary to what a lot of people have said online I think the ending is really good... they are long-living, non-human 'vampires' after all!! Wonderful story! Annie Nickolas, please don't stop with just two in this series! We need more...

One of the BEST books I've read in a long time! I stayed up late to finish it, and WOW it went out with a bang! I wish there were more books, I love the characters. Mmm... Tane sounds amazing!

I liked this one better than the first. The story line was stronger and again it was fast paced and kept me reading. The end was a bit...well, different. I kinda made me gasp. Lol.

5 Holy hot threesome stars
Connie and Rurik can finally enjoy their time together, Tane is king and they are free to be together. However, after healing her Tane tied Connie to him making her his blood slave. Rurik cannot satisfy her hunger and decides he must take her to Tane to save her. The last thing Connie wants to do is be around Tane. She hates him and doesn't trust him. However, soon they learn someone is after Tane and they will use Connie to get to him. Now Connie finds herself drawn to Tane as well as Rurik. Tane protects them both and seems to be drawn to the couple. Connie will learn the lengths she will go to in order to protect her vampires.
In the first book I didn't like or trust Tane, have to say now I love him as well as Rurik. They are very different but still so wonderful. As strange as it may seem these three just make sense together, they are a family. The action and suspense in catching who is after Tane is a real page turner. You will not be able to put this book down. And you do not want to miss the ending, it is HOT!

After having my poor expectations for the first book completely blown out of the water by a fast-paced and action-packed journey, I really looked forward to this sequel and I was not disappointed.
The story follows on seamlessly and still had intrigue, more action and lots going on. Just when it seemed like it was going to head in one (very predictable) direction - BAM - there's a deliciously wicked twist thrown in. And what a way to end a book!!!
Totaly enjoyed this. I hope Annie Nicholas continues to produce stories of this calibre.

Whew! Somebody needs to open a window! Annie Nicholas took Connie aka Rabbit to a new level. I never, never saw any of those plots developments coming. Correction, I figured out the murder quickly but I wasn't 100% sure.
I can't say much without spoilers so I will say this -- if you are a vampire fan, appreciate tasteful erotica, like a little violence with your fang fix, and a little darkness to your plot, grab this series. Again, my head is spinning. Whew!!! Good stuff.

Hot, romantic and different! The ending shocked me to say the least! Love , lust , danger this book has it all!
Connie "Rabbit" finds herself in one dangerous mess after another here. I love the dynamic of the three main characters.
I had to share this with my best friend just so we could chat about it later. She enjoyed it as much as I. If you enjoy a sizzling paranormal romance I encourage you to pick this series up.

Catch took off (within a little over a years time) from where Angler left off. It was just as exciting, adventurous, unpredictable and even sexier then the first.
A great read for any fans of the genre. But I strongly recommend reading book 1 first so you can truly appreciate the character and relationship growth that happens throughout.
Sometimes having a third wheel is...GREAT!

WOW!! What an ending! I dont say this often but I enjoyed this book even more than tje first one. Seemed to be more of everything that I didnt even realize i wanted from Bait (Sex, character development, explanation of the vampire politics, suspense, conflicting emotions) Please please let there be even more to come;)
September 7, 2012
wow!wow!wow! This book and series is awesome! I couldn't read it fast enough but when I was finished I was disappointed that I did.I didn't want the wild ride to end.It ended with a sizzling bang.This one is going on my favorite shelf!
November 17, 2012
Wow, I must certainly say I didn't expect that. I am so happy about this novel, it made everything uber amazing. I'm wondering if there will be a third though because this one left off so perfectly, it could end here.
April 1, 2012
I hope there is another book to this series. I had a hard time putting this book down
October 15, 2012
Another amazing book! I absolutely loved this series! The story is full of twists and turns and tons of steamy romance! I hope there are more books to follow in this series!

This series just keeps getting better (and hotter!)

2nd book was even better than the first. Love the characters and the story and Annie's writing skills.
September 14, 2013
Wow what a twist of ending! Great read from where it was left off in the other book.

I should have stuck to my instinct, and not read this book. I was happy with the first one, and should have left it at that... I knew we were heading into love triangle territory, as mentioned in my review of Bait, but I didn't know to what extend Annie Nicholas was going to take it...
This book was aggravating on so many levels. I am not reading the rest of the series. This is not for me...

So, I read book 2...
But I should have called it quits after book 1. Sometimes you learn more about a book by reading the negative reviews, and the ones I read were spot on. While I have nothing against menage type romance, or even MM romance (although that is not my cup of tea), that only applies to well written scenarios, which this wasn't. It leaned toward erotica more so than the first book, but again wasn't well done. I found myself skimming the book as it didn't hold my interest well. There were also a couple of things I didn't like, specifically elevating Tane to a main character and making him part of the menage. I think he might have been my least favorite character. I found it particularly unbelievable that Tane would wind up being the submissive of the two men. Overall, the whole book just didn't work for me and I won't be reading further in the series.

The romance between the Main Characters becomes a M/M/F trio in this second book
If that and bisexuality is not something you can live with in your reading, you should likely find another series. I found the ongoing plot to be interesting, and I am enjoying this World of Vampires and Werewolves. The characters are OK. I didn't like the missing couple of years between the first and second books, which was explained away by the MCs traveling the world. Adult sex scenes.
The plot premise isn't unusual (human woman/previous camp slayer loving a vampire but not yet being turned vampire). In this World, humans are largely clueless about the supernatural species. Although this is not my favorite series by this Author, I may continue is and when the pricing on the books get reduced.

I kind of don’t even know what to say. I thought the first book in the series was really good, but this one is even better. It’s a mind-bending emotional roller-coaster ride that had me begging for it to be over while I wanted it to keep going. This book takes us further into vampire society and introduces us to the local werewolves; how the two are related and how they interact with one another. I was hooked. The characters are so real that I hurt for them when things go wrong. And the suspense was enough to keep me flipping pages desperate to see how it would be resolved.

Omg I’m loving this series, things seem great for Connie and Rurik, but that’s about to change when a new enemy arrives to cause havoc. Can Connie save Tane? Rurik and herself? Will their fate finally show them what they all need?
This series is so hot, great story, plot, characters and I’m loving the change in scenery. This book has so many different things happening at one, lots of angst, lots of lies, deceit but most of all we finally get to see how Tane actually feels and how this will effect Connie and Rurik. Some hot sex scenes and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

another book bites the dust. sorry Bel. I felt many emotions with his book. I don't think I would be able to share. and to see it slowly unfurl had me at a loss. mixed all around. I've never stopped reading and walked back and forth wondering why? why rabbit. I kept reading. my moral compass has faltered. I feel naughty for even saying this. but I agree. it felt right hahah get it girl!!!

DNF: the blurb and cover are different on amazon and DO NOT make it clear that this is MMF. That made me so mad! I do not like MMF books and try to avoid them, I feel like the amazon cover and blurb were deliberately misleading to increase sales. I’m so glad I got this through kindle unlimited and didn’t pay for the title individually.

Vampire Catch (The Angler Book 2)
The continuous love story of Connie and Rurik. Everyone believes Connie is blood bound to Rurik but she is becoming more and more blood lust. Can Rurik find out why. Tang is back and someone is trying to kill his. Can Rurik save him? Great story.

This was my least liked book by this author. Several things irritated me - mostly the build up and delivery of the personal conflict. I had no problem with the final outcome but...
The other thing was the overuse of the phrase “my lover”. 51 times in case you’re wondering
