Things are finally going well for me.

After years of being on the run from a mad man.

I finally feel like I can settle down in one place with the man; well vampire; that I love.

Of course things can’t stay that way for long.

Happiness I guess just wasn’t meant to be part of my story.

Abducted from the strip club where I work, I wake in a new place and know my life will never be the same.

Now I’m locked in a cage with an Alpha wolf that I don’t know,

and for some reason he is convinced that I’m his mate.

Sorry buddy, I’m an Omega cougar shifter and even though my cougar wants me to submit to you and your Alpha-ness, I won’t.

What am I to do though when he is so damn tempting,

and the drugs these evil bastards are pushing make it impossible to resist him?

When the heat strikes and I feel like I’m burning alive, do I let him put out the flames?

Or do I suffer so that I don’t stray?

Will anyone rescue us before things go too far?

Will my vampire lover forgive me if they don’t?

I’m honestly afraid of the answers to both of those questions.



Stray is the first in a new duet in the Grimm Brothers' Tattoo world, this can be read as just a duet but it would be better for your enjoyment to have read the others first as many of our favorites make an appearance in the duet.
This book is only intended for 18+ as it has situations that are not suitable for anyone younger, including but not limited to language, sexual situation, dubcon, violence, and more that will be spelled out in more detail in the warning in the book.

This was an odd one for me, I really liked the premise of the story with the dark magic, the different supernatural creatures and of course the suspense behind the coven and their secretive ultimate goal. Jade is an interesting FMC although there seems this dark past that haunts her until this day. Darius was absolutely superb, such a devoted vampire, I could not have asked for anything more.
The thing that I struggled with was the forced proximity with Jade's mate while in captivity...
I am quite intrigued by some side characters such as Umbra, so would like to see how the story progresses.

This book is sooo dang good. You will not be able to put it down. It is suspenseful, steamy, funny, and intense. The characters are all loveable and all have their moments to make you fall in love with them. The FMC Jade can never catch a break but somehow deals with each situation and the men in this book are to die for. So steamy and toe curling that you be wishing you were the FMC. Highly recommend this amazing book that is a continuation of the Grimm Brothers Tatto World. You will not be disappointed. Can't wait for the next book in the series to find out what happens!!!

Comes through for me again! Dang this was such a good book. I cannot wait for the next one.

Jade is a dancer and is kidnapped from they alley behind her work. Her almost vampire is searching desperately for her and calls in some old friends of ours from previous books (wink wink)

While locked away Jade is caged with a shifter who insists she’s his mate . However Jade ain’t about that life and she only wants her vamp but will happen when the vamp finds out what happened in the cage?

Oh the Angst!!! So Good!
Oh wow this book had steam, angst, chemistry, suspense and a heart wrenching cliff. It had me double whammy stressing between the plot line and what relationships will survive. Great read!! Can’t wait for the next book to see what happens with Jade and the men that have appeared in her life!!

4/5 ⭐️

So good!!! You love Jade from the very beginning and the more you learn about her the more you love her. She’s unapologetically herself. And vamp daddy- whoa! He is also on another level. This is an RH so the FMC has multiple lovers and they all treat her so well. There’s a good amount of plot and spice not all one or the other!

Jade is a stripper who is running from her past. But she’s happy with what she does and she’s even in love with a man—well, a vampire. Is it weird for an omega cougar shifter to be with a vampire? Maybe a little but she doesn’t care. She’s happy with her life and that’s all that matters. Until she gets kidnapped and put in a cage with an alpha wolf shifter. And goes into heat… which cougar shifters don’t have. And why does this wolf keep saying she’s his mate?

This book is great. Forced proximity is a thing. Trigger warnings are also a thing. Most of this book is with Jade in captivity with her wolf-shifter mate Silas while his betas Jace and Bellamy—who are intimately involved with their alpha—search for him. Meanwhile, Jade’s vampire boyfriend Darius is searching for her and his search leads him to the wolves. But the drama REALLY sets off in the last few chapters where all kinds of revelations are made. This book has a lot of questions unanswered at the end and I sure want to find out the answers to them, so trust that I’ll be reading the follow-up book as soon as it releases.
