• Book #1 in the Blue-Collar Vigilante Vampires Trilogy
He collects trash for a
living.
Before sunrise, he’s
collecting her.
Rook Slater is big, brutal, and permanently grumpy. By day,
he’s a garbage man. By night, he plays hockey and keeps the world at arm’s
length.
Until the fated mate bond strikes hard and fast. One look at
Kylie Moon—right after his twenty-eighth birthday—and destiny snaps into place.
She’s his.
There’s just one problem.
Her blood is rare—coveted—and the monsters in the shadows
want to claim her.
Evil. Elite. Powerful. These are the kind of men who stop at
nothing to have what they want.
But Rook Slater doesn’t lose what’s his.
And he certainly doesn’t bend the knee.
He’s good at taking out the trash—and these monsters are
next.
Once fate locks in, Rook
won’t just fight for the woman he loves.
He’ll kidnap and kill for
her.
Kylie + Rook
Rook is a garbage man by day and he plays hockey by night. He's also a vampire. Who just turned 28 - which is when his fated mate is revealed to him.
And it's Kylie. The pretty ice skater he sees at the rink. He's also her garbage man.
And he's also not the only one who wants her. Very bad 'people' are after her too.
LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN!
ADORABLE!
Well. That was cute.
I'm not a fan of paranormal and I don't know why I would want a blue collar vampire when I could have one with all the money in the world? But here we are. And it was good.
It wasn't anything new or super amazing. Only thing different to other books is the blue collar thing. But I liked reading it. It was a quick fun romantic suspense vampire thingy with some very funny moments. I liked that it wasn't all bloody bitey and super silly.
It could've been a bit longer with more info and details - but I still liked it.
I will definitely read the other two brothers next.
We get a bit of a cliffy.
Plus also - I wouldn't mind a TV Show about the Slater brothers!
GARBAGE MAN was great start to this new Vampire trilogy. Funny. Adorable. Grumpy. Suspensy. Vampirey. Run to your nearest book dealer for your own Rook - this one mine!
