Book Review: Resting Witch Face by Juliette Cross

 
Book Description

Twelve years ago, Jules Savoie ended her relationship with the vampire overlord of New Orleans, Ruben Dubois. For good reasons. A woman in power must often make sacrifices to protect others. She knows the truth of it down to her aching heart.

When Ruben watches his best friend Devraj get married, a stinging realization hits him hard…he’s done waiting. They say time heals all wounds. In this case, it merely sharpened the pain and made one fact crystal clear. Jules Savoie is his soulmate, and nothing would keep her from him. Not anymore.

Forced to work side by side to fight for the werewolf cause, they campaign together at covens from New Orleans to London. The reignited spark burns hotter than ever before. But when a power-hungry vampire sets his predatory sights on Jules, will their love be strong enough against black magic? Or will he lose her again? And this time, maybe…for good.


My Review

Jules and Ruben broke up twelve years ago because Jules didn't feel like she could trust him nor did she trust herself around him. Ruben is a vampire and Jules is a witch. But Ruben hasn't completely given up hope on them getting back together some day...and that day is soon. He's done waiting for her to come to him, he lets her know that he'll be pursuing her again. She's not sure if she's scared or excited, or maybe both. Jules still has feelings for him. So when they are thrown together to try and get the different factions of paranormals together in voting so that the werewolves have a seat at the table and can also vote on things that concern the paranormals, they find themselves giving into their feelings. 

Jules and Ruben campaigning takes them into vampire territory, where something strange has been happening to some werewolves. They get invited to a masquerade, which was all kinds of lust, sex, magic and mystery. But instead of the masquerade being a fun time for them, they find themselves in danger and being betrayed by people they thought they could count on. Just when I thought that things were going to go in a totally different direction, Jules shows that she's more powerful than they gave her credit for. 

I really liked this book. The entire series has been great so far. 

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
