My Thoughts:Viper was definitely a unique twist on a vampire tale. I've never read a vampire biker romance and enjoyed that dimension of the story. For me, the 3♥ came as a result of my lack of connection with the characters. My response toward them was tepid at best. Viper was very alpha in a vampire bad a** biker kind of way while Cara, although strong in description, felt mildly anemic. I suppose that could have been intentional on the author's part but it made them feel incompatible. But again, that could have been intentional. Despite my slight character misgivings, I enjoyed the bit of suspense infused in the story. Although the reader omnisciently knew the "who" and "why", it was intriguing to follow Viper and Cara to those discoveries. I liked the byplay between Kaleb and Suzi and will enjoy seeing what Rasey has up her sleeve for them.The ending did fall a bit short in the "neat and tidy" department because so much was left unresolved. I get leaving certain trails open because this is an introduction to a new series but those areas are not my primary issue. The suspense built through the entire story and deflated with very little fanfare in how quickly the primordial was dispatched. It felt rushed as the end of the book drew nearer with each passing page when my Kindle was at 95%.Author/Publisher Note:Rosalee's name was changed to Rebecca toward the end of the story.Ratings Detail:Rating for female protagonist: 3❤Rating for male protagonist: 3❤Rating for secondary characters: 3❤Steam Level: 4❤Plot Viability: 2.5❤General Storyline: 3❤Story Ending: 3❤Ease of Reading: 3❤Book editing: 3❤Cliffhanger: No.Overall rating: 3❤Would I recommend this series: Yes.Would I continue the series: Yes.Would I read other books by this author: Yes.
