My Sister Is a Werewolf
Cute and fun (and really really HOT!!)! I always feel like I can relate to Kathy’s characters. Unlike many of the paranormal books I’ve been reading lately, her characters aren’t as “ancient” and still retain many of their very human qualities. They continue to concern themselves with mainstream human lifestyles, are emotional, and experience a range of insecurities, that of which us “mortals” can comprehend. And, what’s more, they fall in love with “mere mortals” too!

Book Review – I Only Have Fangs for You by Kathy Love
I Only Have Fangs For You
Pooooor silly, sweet and sinfully sexy Sebastian…all befuddled because he can’t stop thinking about the off-beat waitress that now works for him. Not his usual cup of tea (he prefers the super-model types), the klutzy, overly pale (even for a vampire) messy haired, bespeckeled female has definitely caught his attention.
“Nadine, I appreciate your decision, but I’m not sure she’s cut out for a job here. I mean look at Greta.” He gestured to the leggy blonde, , leaning on the end of the bar chatting with Crystal, a curvy brunette. “And Crystal. Our cocktail waitresses are part of the allure of the place. They are supposed to be a draw for the patrons.”
Book Review – Fangs But No Fangs by Kathy Love
Fangs But No Fangs
First off…how clever are these book titles?? I just figured out that the neat little play on words actually hints at what the story will be about. Fangs for the Memories (book one) was about a vampire who gets amnesia…get it?
This book clued me in because Christian (the evil vampire brother from book#1), gets his conscience back in this story by attempting to become more human.
Due to devastating circumstances in book 1, Christian is determined to get a sense of his humanity back. He decides to move away from his luxuries, live closely amongst the human population (a trailer park seemed appropriate), and connect with others. Determined not to bite, he restricts his feedings to bagged blood, and even feeding is restricted to small portion sizes. He drinks just enough to allow him to “live” while diminishing his powers, essentially forcing him to become more human – even his fangs fail him, no longer reacting to stimuli. Fangs But No Fangs…get it? He’s a vampire, but not really…sorta.
Book Review – Fangs for the Memories by Kathy Love
Fangs For The Memories
I had heard about Kathy Love through her “Young Brothers” books and immediately collected the series. Strangely enough, I read her “Bourbon Trilogy” first (and LOVED it). I’ve decided to tackle the Young brothers this week, and just finished book 1. Great start, quite funny (Sebastian is especially a hoot…I have a yet another crush…what’s new?), and I really enjoyed the premise of the story.
It is about a New Yorker male (Rhys Young) who is the typical hunky yet brooding, dark and angry, single vampire. In a bar one night, he is intrigued by an adorable non-New Yorker female (Jane) who just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Having had a bad day on her new venture in New York, she wanders into a seedy bar, drinks too many tequila shots, and is eventually accosted in a back alley, by a recently released prisoner. Rhys, with all of his paranormal abilities is aware of the potential trouble brewing, and steps in to save her.
I found a great interview with Kathy Love!
I was searching the web for any interesting info that I could find on future works by Kathy Love (for instance, if she was going to continue with the “Young Brothers” series). I came across an interview (admittedly, it is almost a year old) but still quite relevant in revealing what her upcoming plans are, who are her favorite characters are, and how she writes!
Highlights of the interview:
- She speaks in detail of how she came up with Rhys, Christian and Sebastian
- Sebastian is her favorite character from the Young Brothers
- She has written entire books at Starbucks (having a young daughter does not allow her time during the day to write, and therefore she either writes at night or outside of her home).
- She had sold three more paranormal romance books that are part of the series following “Any Way You Want It” featuring the sexy Vampire “Ren” and (and recently released: the 2nd installment called “I Want You To Want Me” featuring his brother “Vittorio”)
- Good news! Even though she does have interest in writing other styles, she will be sticking with Paranormal Romance!
