BOOK 1 of King of Hearts series - BOOK 2 of Pulp Friction 2015 series

In a world where supernatural creatures openly exist, who can blame them for coalescing in one of the most fascinating and erotic places on earth? Welcome to New Orleans.

Laurant likes sex...

Maybe that’s an understatement, pleasures of the flesh are more than enjoyment, they’re a necessity. He’d starve without them. Problem is, he isn’t attracted to women, and in his family, if you get your sex from men, you’re the wrong type of demon. The (unfortunate) life of an incubus isn’t all orgies and orgasms.

That life is about to get a lot more interesting, though, when he catches sight of a lost and alone human who definitely needs his help…doesn’t hurt that he’s hot as the NOLA summer with just as many mysteries about him.

A stranger to himself...

What are you supposed to do when you blink your eyes and realize you have no idea who or where you are? Pretty sure the answer isn’t trust a sex demon with your life…all things considered that may be the lesser of two evils…

Oh, Havan, an incubus? Really? *purr* Laurant isn't your average sex demon, though. Of course not, Havan didn't write him that way *grins*. He's an incubus who likes men more than women, and to the rest of his kind, that's not acceptable. Laurant is perfectly okay with breaking those rules, especially when he meets sinfully delicious Gun, a man who appeared on the street with no idea of who he is, where he came from, or how he got here. A mystery, indeed.

Not just a mystery, though. Suspenseful, intriguing, exciting, and filled with some wonderful sexual innuendo. But my darling Havan left me hanging at the end. Dammit, girl, you know what that does to me! *smirks* I love Laurant and Gun, and can't wait to read more of them.


NOTE: If you've been buried alive for the past few years, you might not have heard about the incredible series by the name of 'Pulp Friction'. It is an interconnected series, written by four talented authors, each of them writing five books within the year, and rounding it out with one grand finale book written by all four. This year's series is set in the same arena, so to speak, as Laura Harner and T.A. Webb's 'Altered States' series and is an introduction to more of the supernatural that those two authors began. PF 2015, as it is known, is written by Lee Brazil, Havan Fellows, Parker Williams, and Laura Harner, and ultimately should be read in that order. So if, indeed, you've been away from the human world, you're forgiven for not knowing this, and not having read the other books. If you've just been lazy…well. There is no forgiveness for you.

Havan, again this year you have started out with a storyline and Wow all I can say is Wow !! The Pulp Friction team has brought us to The Big Easy, New Orleans for a very Paranormal Pulp Friction 2015 and I am loving it.

Tom Webb and Laura Harner had begun this premise a few years ago, world building Altered States. The rest of the team has jumped in and we are going to have a very interesting year me thinks.

Imagine opening your eyes one morning and not know where you were or who you are?????Worse imagine opening your eyes and be standing on a street corner, nt knowing where you are, how you got there and who you are?????

Laurant named him Vic at first for Victim as he saw him being harassed by another paranormal. Laurant an incubus demon feeds on humans for sex . He had been brought up by his kind to better let your food live than kill one every feeding. For a reason unknown Laurant felt the need to protect and brought Vic home. It was there guests arrived for the weekly poker game.

Only time will tell whose on first, but Havan gave us some of the boys we already know who were at the game and it was great to see Jet the were and Danny our cop working the odd squad. We have been invited to Spend a year with the creatures that go bump in the night…fighting for their rights to exist and protecting the innocents of The Big Easy.

I am so there….remember there Four authors. Four Series. Twenty books.
One supernatural finale.

I love the serial format of these series and the way each section fits together. It was great seeing Sabine and Bart from 'Jack of Spades' at the poker game, and I’m looking forward to getting to know the rest of the characters and how their stories all fit together.

This part of the Pulp Friction 2015' universe is Laurant and Gun’s story. Although this story is about an incubus, the sex isn’t gratuitous, and the story has a strong plot and really good characterisation. I love Laurant, his humour and attitude. Both he and Gun are likeable characters, and Gun, with his amnesia is intriguing. Not only is there the question of who he is, but what he is, as his reaction to Laurant and his abilities is definitely not expected.

The world building expands more with this addition to the series too. There’s a wider look at this world, and I loved the fact that there were rules governing the preternaturals. For example, incubuses cannot feed until they suck a human dry, so most of them are on a sort of ‘diet’, just enough to survive but not enough to feel truly satisfied. This opens up a whole set of consequences which I’m looking forward to seeing pan out.

Like the previous book 'Drawing Dead', this instalment ends of another cliffhanger of sorts, which works really well in making the reader want more.

I’d highly recommend 'Blind Stud' to readers who love urban fantasy with likeable characters, a plot with a few twists which asks just as many questions as it answers. 5 out of 5.

Imagine wandering around a New Orleans full of preternaturals and humans not knowing who you are or how you got there. Lost on Burgundy Street, a man finds himself in the care of a relatively young (200 years old) incubus and adopts the name Burgundy, or Gun. Laurant, the incubus, finds himself unexpectedly unable to dial back his affect on everyone around him, which causes wildly inappropriate sexual desire to run rampant. Hmmm. That might explain a lot about New Orleans. But back to the story...
There are murders going on that are being blamed on the supernaturals, which could lead to a war between species. Who is the stranger so talented with potions and why does he want Gun?
What would an Altered States version of Trivial Pursuits look like? Maybe the poker players will be playing something else this week. Fun!
I love Laurant. OK, that's supposed to happen with an incubus, but he's a great MC in this series. And just who is Gun?
Havan Fellows writes mystery with a twist in Blind Stud and I am so eager to read the next story in her King of Hearts series within the Pulp Friction 2015 series.

For those that don’t know what pulp friction is. It is 4 authors that each write a series that the characters interact from book to book. You can read each series alone, but it really works best to read all the series in order for full effect.

Blind Stud is a great series opener. It begins with a mystery man lost and not sure even who he is. Laurant comes along saving him from a rude man, finding himself very intrigued by the mystery man. We find out a lot about incubi and their part in the paranormal world that is integrating with the human world.
I love the fact that once again we are served with a very intriguing mystery man. I also like Laurant a lot. If you have never read any Haven Fellows this is a great book to begin with. It really showcases her style of humor, mystery, intriguing characters and hot-man-sex.

If you like incubi, mystery men, a little mystery, poker, and of course, hot man-sex this is for you!

Four and a half stars!
Laurant is so over the top fun. I absolutely love him! I liked that we got to see Sabine and Bart again so we get a clue things are ok with that. However we don’t get details so we’ve got to wait until their story to know exactly what happens. We also see more of the side characters that are the main characters in their own story so you get more attached to them. I’ve gotta tell you though, there’s some interesting ju-ju going on with all of these men. Gun is fascinating in how laid back he is with all of the things that get thrown his way. There’s some clues given but I want to know more about where he comes from and his back story. I’d love to know what happened to the “incubitch” which is just a fabulous name for him. Massive cliffhanger that I have to know what happens next!

Original Blog Post: Review Request: Pulp Friction 2015 Series Round One Whooooeee!


My Rating: 4 of 4 Stars (Based on Short&Light Read Category)

Laurant is another fave of mine in this world. He is an incubus but he is also the most in need of love and attention. Ironic isn't it?

He meets Vic, short for Victim. A man who woke up not knowing who he was or what he was and he almost gets into trouble but thankfully is saved by Laurant who truly is confused why he is spurred on by the need to help this unknown man. He even brings him over to the weekly poker game where we the other characters meet to relax and have just a bit of fun. Again, this ends in a cliffhanger and we really don't get to know what happens. Well, until book 2 of King of Hearts, that is.

Laurent is an incubus, that survives by feeding off of sex. To his delight, he finds a very hot human male standing on Burgundy Street in NOLA, apparently lost. The closer he gets, the hotter it becomes. Unfortunately, the human has no idea who he is, where he is, and how he got there. The attraction is immediate, and deadly.

Once again, Havan Fellows has given Pulp Friction the quirky characters that never fail to charm and fascinate the reader.

My first Incubus story, and Havan's first story in this year's round of Pulp Friction. Laurant was a sexy devil, and the part where he was turning everyone on...including passing dogs and their owners made me laugh out loud. But the big mystery...who is Gun?? 4 stars from me.

Laurent the sex demon and Gun the Mage.

Pulp Friction 2016.

Not as good as in years past, but I did kind of like Laurent.
