Review

"I've got you exactly where I want you, curious mortal. I hope you like it here. Because it's your home now. I'm never letting you leave."

It felt a bit different from Mia’s other work, but no less fun and definitely sexy. It was as seductive as the vamps in the story.

A treaty has been struck between the humans and vampires, but when a rogue vampire puts that in jeopardy, Elias and Geordi team up to try and figure out who’s behind the chaos.

Geordi is a sweet scientist and rule follower. Elias definitely isn’t those things. He’s a rich and powerful vampire who loves to enjoy himself and especially loves to help the people in his life have fun.

They are an odd match, but right from the beginning, it’s clear there’s something between them.

A fun story with a lot of interesting side characters we can only hope to see again.

Synopsis

Rules exist for a reason, but when I meet the vampire of my dreams, all I want to do is break them.

Geordi

Five years ago, humans found out in the most violent way possible that vampires do in fact exist. After the uprising, the two sides settled on three rules to keep both groups safe — vampires can’t use compulsion, humans can’t hunt them, and absolutely no romance between the two groups. I lost a lot, but I found my purpose— researching what makes vampires different from mortals to help us coexist peacefully.

I like following rules and things were fine until I went rogue, testing a vaccine to create an impenetrable shield against compulsion. I needed a vampire to work with me, so I chose Elias Caswell, the powerful and only slightly terrifying centuries-old vampire who’s played a starring role in my fantasy life for ages.

Elias is a hedonist, and as he introduces me to his world, he quickly unravels my carefully constructed plans. When the vaccine is stolen and the city descends into chaos, my life is in danger, and I’m forced to face a traumatic secret of my own.

I need to find an antidote, restore the peace, and with Elias convinced I’m his consort, try to resist a bond that’s thicker than blood. Should be easy.

Right, and Vlad the Impaler just wanted to cuddle.

Thicker Than Blood is standalone MM Paranormal Romance.

About Mia Monroe

Mia has long been an avid romance reader and writer. As someone who identifies as part of the LGBTQ community, Mia feels a special connection to these sometimes complicated stories. Once she read her first MM romance, she was hooked, and now wants to bring those stories to you. She’s a hopeless romantic so she guarantees a happy ever after in all her stories, but she does not guarantee they will be without complications.

Mia describes her writing style as angsty, emotional, and kinky and just lets her imagination take her where it wants to go. No filters, no restraint, no apologies. She hopes you enjoy the ride and come back for more.

People will tell you Mia is funny in the most sarcastic of ways, fluent in inappropriate memes, loosely moral’d, a lover of words, and fueled by coffee and tacos- but not at the same time. She has some standards.

Love freely.
