Lala's Book Corner: Midnight's Daughter by Karen Chance & "Death's Mistress" Signed Book Giveaway

"Dorina Basarab is a dhampir—half-human, half-vampire. Unlike most dhampirs, though, Dory has managed to maintain her sanity. Now Dory’s vampire father has come to her for help— again. Her Uncle Dracula (yes, theDracula), cruelest among vampires, has escaped his prison. And her father wants Dory to work with gorgeous master vampire Louis-Cesare to put him back there.

Although Dory prefers to work alone, Dracula is the only thing that truly scares her—and when she has to face him, she’ll take all the help she can get…"

I read this series a while ago and since today Book 2 "Death's Mistress" is coming out, Karen Chance is giving away 2 signed copies to celebrate! I decided then a review of Book 1 was in order hehe.

I found out about Karen Chance through her Cassandra Palmer series and I absolutely love it! The Dorina Basarab series is a spin off and a really awesome one at that!

Dory is the daughter of Mircea, who is one of the main characters in the Cassie Palmer series. Dorina is a kick ass character with a lot of attitude. She is a Dhampir, half-human and half-vampire. She has beaten the odds and not gone insane as the other known dhampirs have.

Her father shows up and right away we get sucked into their dysfunctional relationship. It was really interesting to see their dynamic and though it is very clear Dory is a very strong woman, you can't help but relate with her helplessness when it comes to her father.

She is asked to help capture her escaped uncle, who is none other than The Dracula himself. She is joined by the French vamp Louis-Cesare and all hell breaks loose.

I don't want to get into plot details, but this book is full of action and keeps you at the edge of your seat every second. The chemistry between Dory and Louis was awesometo watch and I can't wait to get more of it on book 2!

I give it 4/5 Loveys!

Smut Level 2/5!

Book 2:

"Dorina Basarab is a dhampir—half-human, half-vampire. Subject to

uncontrollable rages, most dhampirs live very short, very violent lives. So far, Dory has managed to maintain her sanity by unleashing her anger on those demons and vampires who deserve killing.

Back home in Brooklyn after the demise of her insane uncle Dracula, Dory’s hoping her life is about to calm down. But then she gets some visitors. A friend wants Dory’s help in finding a magical Fey relic, and the gorgeous vampire, Louis-Cesare, is desperate to find his former mistress Christine.

Dory and Louis-Cesare quickly discover that the same master vampire Christine is bound to is also rumored to be in possession of the relic. But when the master vampire turns up dead, they realize that there’s more at stake than a missing mistress. Someone is killing vampire Senate members, and if Dory and Louis-Cesare can’t stop the murderer, they may be next…"
