Series Spotlight & Giveaway - The VV INN series by C.J. Ellisson



Happy Weekend Book Monsters!  
Today I'm doing a Series Spotlight on The VV Inn series by the Incredible C.J. Ellisson


Vampire Vacation 


Meet Vivian. She's a 580-year-old vampire who exudes sex, has a talent for drama, and is passionate about two things: her human husband, Rafe, and their resort for the undead. Her ability to project physical illusions has created the perfect vacation spot a dark, isolated Alaskan hideaway where visitors can have their wildest fantasies come true.

Vivian knows the best performance requires perfect timing, but the powerful vamp is put to the test when she discovers a corpse in a locked guestroom minutes before the next arrivals. Always cool-headed, Rafe hides the body, convinced he and Vivian can find the culprit without disturbing their guests.

Juggling the increasingly outrageous demands of their customers while tracking a killer isn't easy. Will their poking and prodding give them the answers they need, or will it uncover secrets Vivian would kill to protect?

The Hunt 

(The V V Inn #2)



Vivian thinks she can control every aspect of a deadly game with her usual manipulations… but what if she can’t? Journey along, in this next installment of The V V Inn series, for a wild ride as the tale is told through the eyes of all her new seethe members.

Seven vampires and seven werewolves pay to hunt a supernatural criminal across the cold, vast grounds of an Alaskan resort. The one to catch her, and live through the encounter, will increase their power by feasting on hers.

The tiny vampire they track is more than she appears, however. To escape a fate of ten years in silver chains, she'll do anything to survive the weeklong excursion. This time, the darkness holds more than just the stinging bite of the Arctic—it holds death.

Big Game 

(The V V Inn #3)


In this much-anticipated third installment of the V V Inn series, our sexy couple journeys to Argentina, bringing half their seethe along for the ride. Vivian and Rafe venture into the Seat of Darkness, the Tribunal's base, to uncover who's plotting against them and why. From a cold, windy island off the southern Argentine coast, to the decadence of Buenos Aires, the group has plenty to keep their attention--seductive twins, deadly games, and a bunch of bloodsucking fiends who hate our much-loved, despotic innkeeper enough to see her dead. Asa and Jon remain in Alaska, to manage the famous inn as it opens doors to a new type of guest. Visiting werewolves go on their first exploration of the property, looking for big game--hormones run high and shots ring out across the tundra. Soon, the hunters become the hunted and the peaceful getaway resembles a battleground. How many will survive the next five days and will they ever be the same again?

I have read all of the Series and absolutely love it. CJ is an awesome writer her spin on Vampires and Werewolves is great, the setting's and character development is great. It is so good to see the focus on a happily married couple as well for a change. To anyone that hasn't read it yet check it out and her facebook author page, she is on it herself all the time and is a lovely person as well. I am always recommending these books :)

I have not read it yet. I downloaded the second one, but realized I needed the first. Haven't done it yet! I've heard great things about it! Thanks!

Katrina said...

I have all three of the VV series. I love CJ's style of writing. She makes the action pop out of the book and right into your visual imagination. She's gifted at writing books that make you not want to put the book down. The reader becomes hooked trying to figure out what twist and turn will happen next and nine times out of ten, it will be something totally unexpected. I recommend CJ Ellisson's books to everyone I know that reads!

Kim Lapp said...

Yes, I have all 3 VV books which I have read and reread many times. Each time I find information that I had missed. My husband has also read the first two books and has enjoyed them. I would recommend C.J. Ellisson's VV series and all of her other writings as well.
