Publisher's summary

For most, a plane crash means the end of life. For Dusti Dawson, it's just the beginning...Dusti and her sister Batina survived the crash, thanks to a couple of brothers who are equal parts menacing and muscled. She'd be grateful...if they hadn't turned out to be delusional kidnappers, who believe Dusti's grandfather is some monstrous halfbreed creature bent on murder. Turns out Vampires, Lycans, and Gargoyles do exist - and they've been crossbreeding to form two hybrid races. Drantos, the man Dusti can't stop lusting after, is one of the most dangerous of all.

VampLycans Drantos and Kraven were sent to eliminate a threat to their clan. But when that threat turns out to be mostly human women, clueless of their lineage, plans change - especially after Drantos gets a taste of Dusti's blood. Now, he'll die to protect her. Even if that means walking away from everything he knows to keep her at his side.

Is her strong desire for Drantos reason enough to endure danger coming from all sides? Or should Dusti cut and run the first chance she gets?

Author Note: VLG stands for Vampires, Lycans, Gargoyles...and breeds in between. Living in Alaska's harsh, pristine territories, these creatures live and love fiercely. These are their stories.

Love this Shifter Romance

WOW this was a great read. You know its a good book when you stay up pass your bedtime to finish reading. I lost a lot of sleep to this book.

OFF THE CHARTS HOTNESS!!!

Get ready to melt inside and out, because this story smolders! Laurann Dohner has the sexy paranormal niche on lock. Similarly to the New Species series, I absolutely love the world of characters Dohner is introducing. This first installment has many layers to it but I loved every minute of it. I was hooked from beginning to end; great narration, interesting storyline, and in typical Dohner fashion, I was seriously hot under the collar with sexy Drantos and his mate Dusti! Totally credit worthy, I cannot wait to get to book 2.

amazing. Loved it

love the story. amazing to keep me wanting to come back for more. look forward hear our stories. story was exciting. going miss add'tl stories about drantos.

Woah to the heroione

Is her only speed whine? Her voice was totally irritating and her scenes were yucky. The rest of the story was very good.

very imaginative!

I liked the new spin on the supernatural romance world. I look forward ro reading mpre.

Meh disappointing

The idea is good but holy cow! The main character does nothing but cause trouble and act like an obnoxious brat! I’m glad I didn’t pay for this!

Laurann's Series just as good as the others

I was so excited when I began this series. Like some of her other series, each story is a stand alone. This first one is as exciting as her other stories. She is a great story teller. Each one is very different from the others and are just as exciting. The narrator does an excellent job with the characters and their personalities in this very entertaining story.

Amazing

What a truly amazing world this book brings you into. I can’t wait for the next one to start how I’ve already bought it. The creativity is amazing. There’s so many twisted turns in the love story that it definitely keeps you kissing and on your toes as you go through it.

The More I Listened, The More It Grew On Me!

Overall, I liked Drantos, but honestly it wasn't my favorite by Dohner.

Laurann Dohner is a talented writer who has created a complex world of lycans, vampires and gargoyles.The story's fresh, fascinating, full of humor, but there's a lot to take in with the characters, clan politics, and the history of these supernatural beings (it almost had my head spinning.) I believe die hard fans of shifter romances will appreciate the complexity and mix of these supernatural beings; however, I can tell this will be one of those stories where some will love it, while others will dislike it.

Some spoilers;
True to Dohner's writing style, there's a lot of heat, attraction and sexual tension between the H/h. In the beginning, it felt a bit forced but as the story progresses, the chemistry between Drantos and Dusti develops and becomes genuine. At times, Dusti's character could be annoying, and stubborn but at least she had a backbone. I actually felt bad for Drantos when he discovered she was his mate. Because of his clan's politics and their dislike of supernatural beings who have been diluted with human blood, Drantos had an uphill battle protecting, keeping and convincing his clan and Dusti of her place as his mate. From the moment he realizes Dusti's his mate, I loved how this dominate alpha's world changes as he becomes focused on making her happy and helping her fit in.

The subplot and characters were really good. Dusti and Bat were tricked by their grandfather, Decker, to come to Alaska for a sinister plot. He wants to use one of the sister as leverage to start a conflict between the different clans all in an attempt to gain power over all the clans. When Drantos's clan learns Decker is plotting something bad, Drantos and Kraven are sent to intercept and retrieve the sisters before Decker can put his plans into motion.

This was the first story I've listened to narrated by Savannah Richards and was impressed with how she portrayed the characters. She did a fantastic job!

I'm a huge fan of PNR's and loved both the New Species and Cyborg series! This is the first story in the VLG series I've listened too and thought it was intriguing but not as intense as her other series. I am curious enough to listen too the other audios that have been released; however, I would only buy these stories on a whispersync deal or sale and save my credit.

Loved this book

Loved this book. Can't wait to read more in this series. I was pleasantly surprised
