ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 19, 2019
Vengeance and revenge are the only forces driving vampire soldier Noah Siosal since losing his brother to an enemy he’s been unable to find. He’s searched every corner of the globe, going through adversaries and piling up bodies until finally getting a lead. The last place he wants to be is in a ridiculous anger management group with people expressing feelings instead of taking action. Until one fragile human, a green-eyed sweetheart being stalked by danger, catches his eye. One touch, and he realizes vengeance can’t be anywhere near her.
Anger and self-preservation are the only motivations Abby Miller needs or wants right now. Falsely accused of attacking the man who’s terrorized her for years, she’s forced as a plea bargain to attend an anger management counseling group with people with some serious rage issues, while learning true self defense on the side. Yet a man, one more primal than any she’s ever met, draws her in a way and into a world deadlier than she’s ever imagined. He offers her protection, but she finds the fight is really for his heart, and she’s ready to battle.
•••••••••••
REVIEW: VENGEANCE by Rebecca Zanetti is instalment 10.5 in the author’s contemporary, adult DARK PROTECTORS paranormal, romance series, and the latest instalment in the multi-authored 1001 Dark Nights series. This is hybrid vampire/demon and assassin/mercenary Noah Siosal, and Abby Miller’s story line. VENGEANCE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Noah and Abby) VENGEANCE introduces a new series arc starting with hybrid vampire/demon and assassin/mercenary Noah Siosal, and Abby Miller. Abby Miller has been ordered to anger management for a crime she did not commit but Abby’s anger management class is filled with an odd assortment of strange, intriguing and otherworldly beings, one with whom Abby will fall in love. As Abby’s life continues to spiral out of control, Noah becomes guardian and protector for the woman who would become his mate. As Noah hunts for the man that killed his best friend, he struggles to keep Abby safely out of reach of her former spouse.
We are introduced to several immortals: purebred demoness Tabitha aka Tabi; vampire Raine Maxwell, Benny (a member of the Seven), Ivar the Viking; and humans Dr. Mariana Lopez, and Detective O’Connell, as well as Abby’s ex-husband Monte Lofton.
VENGEANCE has a little bit of everything: fun, humor, conflict, death, threats and love. The immortals attending anger management are quite the eclectic group of hybrids, purebreds, demons and vampires-all looking for something or someone in order to move forward with their latest assignments. The character driven premise is entertaining and spirited; the romance is fast and furious; the characters are sexy, sassy, energetic and feisty.

She sighed and kissed him, warming right up. Her eyelids opened to see his intense gaze on her. She jerked, her body stilling.
Holding her gaze, he lifted lightly, his lips barely a whisper from hers. “You okay?”
She nodded, even though his hand in her hair contained her movement. “Yes. You?”
“Yes. You want more?” He held himself still, like one of those racehorses in a stall right before the gate opened.
Her nipples peaked. Fast and hard. More? There was more? She should think. Take a step back. “Yes,” she said. “More.”
He moved faster than humanly possible, ducking his head and claiming her lips. This time, there was no gentleness or coaxing. It was all fire and electricity and demand. Hard and fast, he took her mouth, kissing her in a way that took her completely out of the moment.
The rain and cold disappeared along with her fear and sadness. Only passion and fire remained. She let him guide her, opening her mouth, wanting everything he was giving. Never had she felt this. Her body went from a slow heat to a full-on inferno, her thighs trembling for more of him. For all of him.
Headlights barely caught her attention. Then a door slamming. “What the hell?” bellowed a familiar male voice.
She jumped, fear instantly swamping her. “No.”
Noah released her and turned as Monte stomped toward them, fury morphing into red blotches on a face she’d once thought handsome. “What are you doing?” he yelled, arms swinging, getting too close.
Noah partially turned and punched him right in the mouth. Monte went down, splashing through a mudpuddle, his arms windmilling.
Abby gasped, her body chilling instantly. Horror caught her. Oh God. “What have you done?”
