Bad Luck Vampire: An Argeneau Novel

Written by Lynsay Sands

Narrated by Kit Swann

New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands returns in this latest chapter of the Argeneau series with an immortal who is having a bit of bad luck while trying to woo his life mate…

Alasdair MacKenzie has never once considered himself unlucky in all the centuries he’s been an immortal rogue enforcer. Not until he meets Sophie. Finding the beautiful, smart, and funny woman who is his life mate is great luck, actually. But meeting her at a wedding full of Argeneaus, not to mention his own busybody uncles determined to “help him claim his woman,” is bad luck. And the fact that Sophie is someone else’s date? Well that’s just the next level of unlucky.

From the way her gaze travels over his body like a caress to the electric zing whenever they innocently touch…he wants her for all eternity! He’ll keep his hands off Sophie until her date is over. After that all bets are off and he’ll pull out all the stops to win her. Great plan—until he gets hit by a car. And then he’s poisoned. Is his luck that bad, or is someone out to stop this immortal from claiming Sophie as his life mate?

Reviews for Bad Luck Vampire

[NNEAMAKA PAYNE · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

First Impressions
Bad Luck Vampire is the most recent release for the “Argeneau” series. I had such a blast with this book and while it wasn’t a perfect it was such fun to read through it. I really was intrigued to see what would be delivered on this one. Especially with this sexy as all get out cover. I just knew that I was in for a treat and it definitely was a wonderful story that I could easily get behind. This is a story that will have the perfect blend of spooky vibes with well balanced laughter. I love seeing how well this story was written in many regards and the moments that entertainined from beginning to end. We were introduced to some new characters that were so fun to read. This also has a set up of a match that doesn’t start at first, but how it evolves was quite unique, I just feel like this book could have used another 50 pages or so to the relationship building aspects to the story. It just felt a bit too rush in the end or this book would have had a five star rating attached to it. I do think that this book will appeal to fans of the Argeneau series or just a fun vampire romance that has a bit lighter but sexy vibes to it.

Summary
The setup of the story is that our heroine, Sophie, ends up on a bad date who gets a bit too forward than he should. Two enforcers for Lucien Argeneau stop the attack and keep Sophie safe. And they are brothers. But one invites her as his date to his brother's wedding. Sophie feeling grateful for the rescue of sorts, agrees to the wedding date. But her date being the best man isn’t able to be by her side, and she is then brought to the side of her life mate…. broody and reserved Alasdair who has four Scottish uncles who are charming and devilish and a twin brother that has more voice, but she is more drawn to the quiet one, the one that pierces her heart deeply with one look. And when its apparent that Sophie is being focused on and that everyone around her is being attacked, Alastair and his family are determined to find out why. And during this mystery gathering, Sophie and Alastair start bonding and courting each other. But will Sophie be able to accept Alastair for who he is?
