    CREATURES OF THE NIGHT BOOK TAG

    I am a big fan of the supernatural so this is my favorite book tag so far. The challenge is to pick a favorite book from the different types of creatures of the night.

    Creatures of the Night Book Tag was borrowed from Dreamland Book Blog

    Vampire

    Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1)
    review here

    A most enjoyable and squee-tastic merger of human, drakul and exorcist. Gray, the drakul, is a cinammon roll. I never wanted him exorcised. Caleb and John’s chemistry sizzled. Add Gray to the mix and they’re a veritable thunderstorm.

    The Bennett pack. They break my heart but I howl with them.

    One of the best Frankenstein’s monster-inspired stories.

    “I like you.”
    “Even though—”
    “Yes. Just as you care for me, even though.” 

    Gets me every time…

    Ghost

    We started on a rough patch but now I am unequivocally behind this sarcastic ghost talker detective and his dirty talking detective boyfriend.

    Witch/Warlock/Spellcaster

    Whyborne AND Stephen Day AND Randolph Glyde. I’m sorry not sorry but it has to be all of them in a three-way tie.

    A beautiful cover and a charming Edwardian setting made this one of my most anticipated books. It didn’t fully live up to my expectations, but it was still magical.

    So you sold your soul to the devil. Now the devil is asking for a favor in exchange for getting your soul back. How far will you go?

    Isn’t this the most fun anthology prompt ever?

    Love the story’s retro noir vibe. Charles Grimes and Tenrael’s dark romance was a powerful hook.

    This has low ratings on GR but I find this a fun and over the top collection showcasing Andrea Speed’s brand of story telling.

    Superpowered human

    Charmed by Sean Crisden’s narration, I went in blind so Beraht and Dieter falling in love was a very unexpected but delightful sucker punch because all that squabbling until the very end, how will they even?! Still one of the best enemies-to-lovers story.

    If I were to choose what creature of the night I would be, I would either choose to be a Ladysmith Museum librarian, because a labyrinth of books! or a Green Man, because Randolph, Saul and the gang need all the help they can get. Also, deep, dark secrets of the British Isles. On the fence with the Judiciary, they’re cool but always overworked. All that paperwork will kill the fun out of being a practitioner!

    What creature of the night would you want to be?
