If we hadn’t had the prologue, I may not have connected to him as quickly as I did. He’s a great main character for the series, and letting the reader have a glimpse of his childhood in the prologue was sheer brilliance because it made me form an immediate connection to him as a character to see how his biological mother treated him. In fact, if it weren’t for some issues I had with Harlow, this would be a five star read for me. Thankfully, while I was a little confused at first, mainly at how the world was set up, that confusion did not hamper my enjoyment of this book at all. So I was a little nervous about starting this spinoff because you never know how familiar you need to be with a previous series when starting a spinoff.
I’ve read the first two books I believe in Painter’s House of Comarre series, and while I liked it, I never got around to continuing the series. Will Harlow and Augustine be able to put aside their differences and work together to eradicate the vampire threat in New Orleans? Doing so will mean embracing her fae nature, something that is much easier said than done. Despite her mixed emotions, she wants to help Augustine find those responsible for the attack. She’s grieving the loss of a mother she never really knew while still angry at the fact that Olivia never told her who her father was. After the vampire attack, Harlow is filled with mixed emotions. All she’s ever wanted was for her mother to tell her the name of her father, but Olivia always refused, causing an estrangement between mother and daughter. Harlow, Olivia’s biological daughter, has done her best to hide her fae side her whole life, seeing it more as a curse than a blessing. So when she’s viciously attacked by vampires, Augustine is understandably devastated and swears to find and eradicate those responsible no matter the cost. Now, as an adult, he would do anything for Olivia. Then, he met Olivia Goodwin, a famous fae actress, who took him in and became a second mother to him. He learned to make his way on the streets in any way he could. When he could do that no longer, his mother kicked him out.
Opening Sentence: “Why can’t we take the streetcar?”Īugustine grew up being told he should deny his fae side. Quick & Dirty: Vampires and the fae collide in this addicting and thrilling spinoff to the House of Comarre series.
