Luca is a vampire. Rowan is a werewolf. The two should hate each other, but fate has other ideas, as they are mates and destined to be together. Stormy Glenn's Just A Vampire starts out as your typical vampire/werewolf book with Insta-Love, bonding and conflicts within the clans. However, what sets Just A Vampire apart is the character of Rowan. He's utterly delightfulRowan may seem submissive, but he's anything but. His role as Electus Luca's mate should mean he's a pampered pet, but Rowan quickly breaks that mold and loves to shock his lover's vampire friends. So instead of the same old, same old vampire trope, Stormy Glenn invents a character that bucks the traditional role of submissive partner. Between Rowan's snarky dialogue, outrageous actions or mischievous spirit, Rowan won me over.While the plot may focus on more of the conventional vampire-werewolf tropes, the characterizations is what makes this novel such a fun read. I am looking forward to the next book in the series and seeing how Electus Everson tames his own werewolf mate!Dark Divas Reviews
