Taste of Fear by Shelby Rhodes

My Review

5 stars

This is Shelbys best work to date! You see Harlow & Foxx moving past what happened in the previous book, and chaos ensues. You have Shelbys comedic style in the beginning, and then things go wrong fast, making Harlow realize Foxx is something to him and not just the annoying brat he thought.

So many emotions will come to light in this second installment, making you feel everything, and wow, is it done masterfully! Such a great blend of humor bloodshed and hearts showing more sides to these characters than we were expecting, showing how deep of characters they truly are.

Seriously cannot wait to see what Shelby comes up next for Foxx and Harlow cause you know its gonna be a wild ride!

Book overview

Foxx Honeywell here. You know those fun stories where nothing goes wrong and everything is happy and joyful…yeah, that is not this book. This book is where everything goes wrong—multiple times. Horribly wrong. Because sadly, there are people out there who hate others simply for existing. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Our story picks up a few months after the whole crazy cult thing, right before the horrible, terrifyingly awful holiday called…Christmas. Because, of course, why wouldn’t we end up back on the job right when not only is it bloody cold outside, but when the ho-ho-hoing menace is plaguing poor innocent vampires everywhere?

Anyway, we go on one hunt, and things are relatively normal-ish. It's not until the next one where…well, I maybe almost die. What follows is some resurfacing trauma…and a fair few meltdowns. No doubt terrifying my psycho of a partner, Harlow. Who, by the way, through all this seems okay…maybe. A big maybe. So, yeah, that happens. And you know, if that was all that happened, it would have been fine. Really, it would—mostly. It’s just that what followed…really drove home all those years of no therapy. Like a blast in the face from my past nightmare-inducing trauma. I’m sure it will be fine?
