Suck It: A Reluctant Vampire Hunter Paranormal Fantasy/Mystery

by J.J. Russell

I'm Vianne and I'm an alcoholic…and, apparently, a vampire hunter. I thought I had my demons on a leash. Turns out, my demons have fangs and my family tree is full of legendary vampire hunters. Now, I’m up to my neck in vampires out for my blood. Ancestor's legacy? Check. Killer instincts? Not so much. Without the mystical Artemis Necklace, my vampire hunting career is going to be incredibly short-lived. To stay alive, I'll need to trust a pushy hellhound and an experienced vampire hunter who’s as trustworthy as a wooden stake to the heart. With enemies lurking in the shadows and allies who might just stab me in the back, the hunt for the necklace could save me or be my final undoing. Get sucked into this snarky adventure with Vianne as she uncovers her clandestine family legacy in the first installment of a riveting paranormal mystery series.

I got this book for free on my Nook app. The premise sounded like your run of the mill Mary Sue Vampire Hunter Destiny trope that's been done over and over again but it's so much more and I found myself reading the entire book in one night and tracking down the 2 other books in the series right away.
It does start out with a pretty young female who's a rebel and works in a shit job finding out one day that she has an ancient bloodline of women who managed to harness the power of the goddess Artemis and are essentially judge, jury and executioner for the "baddies" of the vast supernatural world.
She has a lot of bumps along the way and gets into a lot of trouble trying to navigate her newfound power. But this book is engaging, fun, intriguing and well written. I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes supernatural books, but it's also fun for people like myself who like horror books but aren't too big on paranormal romance and stuff like that. I've read all 3 and can't wait for the next one!

I loved the suspense of this story. It brought the real and mystical worlds together in a way a reader could really imagine the two worlds would collide. The title of the book "Suck it" would have you believe its Just about vampires, but so many other mythical creates come into play as well. I felt this made it more interesting than your average vampire story. Just as the mystery in every chapter kept me itching to read the next, the ending has left me SO excited to read the next book. Anyone who likes to read fantasy books of any kind would love this.

This was a great start to a series that is showing to be engaging and filled with fun characters that are not perfect which makes them all the more enjoyable. I am eagerly awaiting the next book to see what happens.

Not bad!!

I haven’t read many vampire books but loved Angel and Buffy so thought I would give this a try.
I wasn’t disappointed!! The writing is good and well thought out and the story flows well. I’m looking forward to reading more!

Well written and suspenseful!

I loved this book, especially the main character's snarky personality! Also the hellhound, the hunter, the ghost were great characters making for a very fun-filled story. This was great urban fantasy, I can't wait until the next one!
