Book Review: Feral Instincts by Stephanie Storm

 

Book Description

Shy bookworms make horrible vampires.

Ava believes nothing could be harder than coping with her mother's death—until she survives her own. When the small-town introvert is kidnapped by a madman and turned into a vampire, she discovers just how sheltered she’s been. Although quiet wallflowers have zero business playing bait to capture their sires, not even a bossy werewolf will keep Ava from seeking justice.

No matter how hard Teagan tries to fill his legendary father’s shoes, he falls short. The aspiring packmaster will do anything to prove he’s worthy, even if it means helping the vampire authorities hunt a rogue killer. With his pack’s future on the line, the last thing he needs is to play guard dog for a tempting innocent.

Ava is torn between duty and desire when the only creature capable of satisfying her hunger is a delicious alpha who’s off the menu. And every minute Teagan spends protecting the reckless idealist weakens his resolve to put his pack’s needs first. Should either of them give in to temptation, it could lead to their destruction.

Can the star-crossed lovers resist their forbidden attraction while saving a small-town from a ruthless monster? Or will they lose themselves to their inner beasts?

My Review

Ava is living her human life when a crazy vampire kidnaps her, turns her into a vampire against her will and claims she is his resurrected bride. Salvatore is crazy and Ava knows she's in danger and thinks her life is over until people break in and rescue her. 

Teagan is a werewolf shifter and saves the newborn vampire, not know anything about her. They are after Salvatore because he's creating rogue vampires that are killing people but he can't leave Ava there. 

Once Ava is safe and the people explain to her what's going on, she has to make a choice to join them or not. In the compound she finds herself in, there are vampires and werewolves working together to bring Salvatore down. While she's learning how to be a vampire, she and Teagan are getting closer. Their relationship is pretty much forbidden because his pack would never accept her and vampires don't usually take shifters as mates. So these two are breaking all kinds of rules. 

When Ava once again finds herself in danger and Salvatore makes another move against her, Teagan finds himself facing someone who double crosses him. The twists, turns and forbidden relationship made this story very entertaining. 

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
