My Thoughts
This is a short and super sexy story about a vamp/wolf finding his mate. Lathan has been an outcast all of his life and then one night everything changes when he finds Abbi. She too has been alone. One bite and all that they have known will be so different. I really loved their story and my only complaint is that I wish it was longer.

About the Book
Being wicked never felt so good.
Born from hate and violence, Lathan knows all too well what
darkness feels like. He’s centuries old, and an abomination to the supernatural
world. With a vampire father who forcibly took Lathan’s werewolf mother as his
own, Lathan’s hybrid genetics make him feared by all.
Abbi has no one, nothing of importance in her life, but that
doesn’t stop her from living. When Lathan feeds on her and tries to use
compulsion to make her forget, she realizes he isn’t just a vampire, but
something altogether different. He’s also her mate.
Can Abbi accept Lathan for who and what he is? Can she allow
herself to be mated to a man who is half vampire and half werewolf, one feared
amongst human and immortal alike? She knows he won’t stop until he has her.

Excerpt
Lathan was born of this world in blood, hatred…violence. He
took his first breath with his mother’s arms around him, her tears of sadness,
hurt, disgust, filling him. It was the only world, the only emotions he’d ever
known. And it was that memory, even as he lay there vulnerable—unable to speak,
barely able to breathe—that he watched his mother pass. It was a curse being
able to remember every single memory of his life, a “gift” because of his
hybrid breed, his dual species genetics.
He stood in the shadows, his hunger insatiable. He watched
the humans, knew their blood—the sustenance that gave him life, gave him
strength and power—was also the same viscous fluid that disgusted him.
He was half vampire, half werewolf, a demon among his kind,
an abomination because of the two bloodlines running through his veins and of
how he came into this world. His werewolf mother was kidnapped and raped by his
vampire father, a male that claimed she was his mate. But Lathan’s father
hadn’t cared about anyone but himself. He’d defiled the one woman that was
claimed to be his mate, took her from Lathan because he was a selfish bastard.
It was because of his father he didn’t have a memory that
wasn’t tainted with violence and degradation. It was because of his father,
Karloff, that Lathan couldn’t show his face in the paranormal community without
fear and disgust following him, because everyone knew who he was. The stench of
his father’s blood ran through his veins, tainting him, marking him as evil.
Karloff’s reputation was by far the most sinister of their kind, was tainted
with the horror of the life he himself led, and of the lives he took.
Maybe Lathan should have had more empathy for the man that
sired him, the man that forced his seed upon Lathan’s unwilling mother. But the
truth was after three hundred years of living in this world alone, Lathan had
no empathy for anyone or anything. He had no emotions, no expectations, or even
hope that he’d find a mate, if one even existed.
But he’d killed his father a century ago—ripped open his throat,
bathed in his blood—sand knew that killing the man that had raped Lathan’s
mother, took from her everything she knew and loved, was a small act of
vengeance on his part. It wouldn’t solve anything, wouldn’t make anyone see him
as anything more than a monster, but it made Lathan feel a little less dark
inside.
He moved back into the shadows even further when a young,
beautiful, and unsuspecting woman started walking toward him. She was human,
with long reddish brown hair, and eyes the color of the greenest emerald. She
was slender, couldn’t be more than in her twenties, and the animal in him—the
wolf, the demon he was—rose up. He wanted to taste her, wanted her blood to
coat his tongue and move along the back of his throat. He’d never been this
thirsty before.
But it could be because he’d held off feeding for the last
couple weeks, hating to taste the metallic flavor of the substance that gave
him life. Lathan wanted her blood, wanted it covering his mouth and dripping
down his chin.
His vampire side felt the call of the blood, felt the power
move through him, strengthening his muscles, making his body coil tight, ready
to snatch her body to his, tilt her neck to the side, and expose the creamy
expanse of her throat.
And then she was right here, the wind picking up and blowing
her hair around her shoulders, having her scent slam into him. His dick got
hard, his claws emerged, and his fangs punched forward. He hadn’t been this
excited, hadn’t been this aroused in his entire existence.
