Vampire Runner

Nightshade Vampires #4

by Rowan Hart

150 years ago, I betrayed my vampire mate to save his life. Now can I risk it all to finally fulfil the bargain I made with the demon Eris and get my body back? Will Ashe forgive me and give me a second chance? Or will it be too late when Eris's ancient enemy catches up to the Nightshade Vampires?

Vampire Runner is book four in the Nightshade Vampires, a paranormal romance series featuring a vampire mafia clan. It can be read on its own and does not end on a cliffhanger. However, like most series, it is best read in order.

Genres: Paranormal Romance, Vampires, Fantasy, Paranormal

Ok

This book was just ok for me. It just wasn't as engaging to me as the previous books were. I liked the characters and storyline and there was some action and suspense. What I didn't care for, and this is just me, is that the book goes from past to present time and back to past constantly. That just totally ruins a book for me. Looking forward to the next book in this series because I really enjoy this author.

A good addition to the series

This is book four and I am excited to read about what happened in the past between mates Ashe and Cassandra. As we know from the other books, Cassandra made a sacrifice with a demon Eris to protect the Nightshades and her love Ashe during some battle. This book gives you their history and then how this journey finally unfolds. Beware that the author uses the back and forth technique of telling their story, so chapter in the future, then the next in the past throughout the entire book. It’s a bit irritating by the 50 percent mark because the plot situation is tense and then the book goes back in history. The epilogue really was nice and cemented their happy ending. The author teases that Malachi is the next book up. Read On!

This book seemed unfinished. It just ended and I literally said “that’s it”. I understand the need to give us the back story regarding Ashe and Cassandra but I needed more of the present to draw the book to close. It’s almost as if the writer became tired while writing. The Angel simply returning Ash makes no sense, the explanation by Eris in the epilogue makes no sense, Rhys disappearing with Ezra makes no sense. Hello, where is the rest of the book? There are multiple loose ends that will hopefully be tied of in the next book.

I really enjoyed this read! I was hooked on the couple and their story from the first book of the series (this is book 4) and I’m glad they got the ending they deserve! The plot was good and kept me interested. However, this books timeline jumps back and forth between chapters, which is a writing style I personally don’t like. Apart from that overall it was a fast paced read and I would recommend!

I'm glad I finally got to Ashe & Cassandra's story. I've been curious about them since the beginning. These two really love each other and I was so happy to see them fix their predicament and finally be together again.

The timeline jumping took me out of the story a little bit though. Just when the present storyline was getting good, we were back in the past.

I really enjoyed reading how the two mates got together to understand their present state of despair. I found the characters deeply fleshed out. I’m glad Malachi finally gets his own book coming soon. Now we just need one for Rhys the Rock Star.

Absolutely loved it

I couldn't wait to read this one I patiently waited and it was so worth it. If you haven't read this book series of different vampires you need to now

Was ok

It took me a while to get into it. Didn’t really connect with Ashe or Cassandra. Loved Eris and a couple of the side characters.

Okay story.

I like the characters and plot. It dragged in some places. The action and steamy scenes are nice. I like this series.
