BLURB:
So… I just made out with a Monster Hunter.
A totally insane choice since, you know, I’m an actual monster.
And I did this right after finding out that the Hunter, Rafa, has a deep, personal connection with the vampires who are after me—vampires who’ve kidnapped the teen girl I’m supposed to rescue, and who need the magical watch I’m carrying to end the world.
As for that watch? It imprisons Collin—a handsome spirit who can answer any question and who gets me in a way no one else ever has. Over the last 24 hours, Collin and I have done a whole lot more than just making out.
The truth is, I actually think I’m falling in love with him. Which might be the craziest thing of all, since he still hasn’t told me what he really is.
Look, I know I’ve made some bad decisions lately. But now I have people I need to protect, people I care about. And since I’m feeding, for the first time in my life, I have real power.
So yeah, maybe I’ll never be good. But trust me—I am done running.
Because it’s time to show those vampires what a real monster can do.
Incubus Vampire Slayer concludes the thrilling, laugh-out-loud adventure that began in The Reluctant Incubus, Book 1 of the MM urban fantasy duet Alvin Alonso’s Secret Files. I recommend starting with The Reluctant Incubus so you can binge the whole story from the beginning through to Alvin’s deeply satisfying HFN.
REVIEW:
With the Avatar in his pocket, Alvin is on a mission with two goals. Firstly, to save the children kidnapped by vampires, and secondly, to free the Avatar, Colin. Thus far, Alvin has embarked on a whirlwind adventure where he has been scared, brave, determined and enlightened. Will the finale be his making or end?
Incubus Vampire Slayer is the second book that is released simultaneously with its counterpart, The Reluctant Incubus, which must be read first. There’s a lot to like in this story, but I had a couple of issues which lowered the overall mark.
The story is told in the first person from Alvin’s perspective. Worldbuilding is wonderfully vivid, leaving me with clear images of the characters and their surroundings. However, grammatically, there remains the issue of using far too many brackets, whose overuse could have been either avoided or at least significantly reduced. For the most part, I found the words contained within the brackets distracting, occasionally amusing, but mostly irritating.
Alvin is a conflicted man. He believes himself to be an unwilling monster. He’s a good man with a heart of gold and a willingness to do good that goes beyond the stratosphere. Colin helps him on his journey to heroic enlightenment. However, other than prolonging the release of significantly important information to increase the dramatic effect, I struggled to understand why Colin chose the route of slow-release, providing scant reasoning for withholding details that could have helped Alvin gain more success and fewer failures.
The extended cast was an interesting mix of characters, who I believe could have stories of their own. I especially liked the Elven Prince. He had a deliciously devious side, a way with words, and a little nugget of a good side. I’d gladly read a story with him as the MC, minus the brackets.
Incubus Vampire Slayer was an action-packed, entertaining read. Some parts were sheer brilliance, while other aspects frustrated the demon out of me.
