Lady & the Vamp (Immortality Bites #3)
by
Michelle Rowen (Goodreads Author)
Former vampire hunter Michael Quinn is living a nightmare: he's been turned into a vampire. His only hope is the "Eye"--a long-lost artifact that, once every millennium, will grant one wish to its possessor. Fortunately for Quinn, he has a map detailing the path to the "Eye." All he needs to do is find it, then he can wish himself back into humanity.

Reeally 3.5 or 3.75 stars. Only marked down for lack of sex as I'm such a horndog.

She wants it to stay alive, he wants it to be a human again...and Janie's boss just gave her a terminate order on Michael. Now if they could just keep their hands off each other...

I did not realize until I sat down to read this book that it was not about Sarah and Thierry, from the first two books! In those books, Quinn was a secondary character, a vampire hunter who tried to kill Sarah. He was later bitten by a vampire, but left to die an agonizing death - vampire venom slowly kills the victim unless the victim is given vampire blood to drink, thus turning him or her into a vampire also. Sarah, who was still a "fledgling" herself, dragged him to Thierry, who re...more
Unlikeable characters on a quest to find a magic artifact. They fight bad guys and each other along the way.
STORY BRIEF:
Quinn used to be a vampire hunter. Two months ago he was turned into a vampire. Having seen both sides, he becomes sensitive and no longer wants to kill anyone, human or vampire. He doesn’t want to drink blood and nearly dies from starvation. The Boss is a powerful mafia-type bad guy who frequently kills those who work for him. Janie is a human mercenary...more

A little bit of humor keeps this light vamp romance from having too much bite.
Nothing too original in the premise behind Lady & the Vamp but still Rowen delivers a lighthearted vamp romance and fans of her series will be happy to have former Vamp-hunter Michael Quinn in the spotlight as we take a break from Sara and Thierry.
Quinn, now a vampire, sees himself as a monster and rails against his fate willing to accept death if he can't regain his humanity. He has one hope left,...more

No one - I'd tell them to skip it & go straight for Stakes & Stiletos
The rating I give this book is close to a 1.5 stars rather than two but oh well.
I really liked the first two books in the Immortality Bites series so I was a bit taken aback by the fact that I had great dislike for this, the third installment. I think the main issue with this book is that it does not revolve around the two primary characters from the first two books. Instead it revolves around two secondary characters - one that was introduced in book one and another that was introdu...more

In Lady and the Vamp we have Quinn former Hunter now vampire tracking down The Eye. The Eye is a supernatural artefact that every one thousand years will grant one wish. Quinn wants to go back to being human, he has only recently been made into a vampire and is on a hunger strike. Janie on the other hand is human and works for an evil company (can anyone say that without an Austen Powers voice over?). The Boss knows where her missing sister is and unless she finds The Eye first, he will kill he...more

I really just enjoy this series. haha.
This one wandered off from the main character which can sometimes be a very bad thing (especially when the first two books and the following two books are focused on Sarah), but it worked. I don't know if it was because I adored Quinn's character in the first two books, but yeah. ;)
He was a little more emo here, but HE even realized he was being emo and would berate himself about that as well as continuing to beat himself up over...more

Michelle Rowen outdid herself this time. The third (and best so far) installment of the Immortality Bites series) has Janie (mercenary extraordinaire) and Quinn (long time hunter, first time vampire) meeting up, again.
Both searching for the same fabled item, The Eye, the two are drawn into three different messed up character's bids for world domination and/or power of one sort or another.
Janie's still got the hots for Quinn (her older brother's best friend growing up). ...more

I stayed up late last night because I wanted to read the last 100 pages of this book. And boy, I didn't regret it. I love the way it all wrapped up. I also enjoyed the constant stubborn nature of both Quinn and Janie. They were a match made in heaven... it just took them ages to work it out. Lol.
Anyway, I loved the pace of this book. How everything unfolded and how nothing was what it seemed in the end. Lots of cool surprises and many twists and turns. The characters were so real too...more

Meh. I am amused by the lead in to this text box is "My review/What I learned from this book." What I learned is that I really need a higher standard for myself when it comes to what I'll read.
This really deserves 2.5 stars, but I'm in a generous mood today, so I'll up it to 3. It's not that these are bad books, it's just I have certain standards when it comes to my supernatural (and I hesitate to use the word) literature, and this one falls short. Not sparkling vampire...more

Yay a book about Quinn! And yay, finally some sex in these books. Not that I need that in my vampire stories, but the first two books felt like a tease. This book finally fulfilled the promise. And it was nice it was with Quinn and Janie, two characters I really enjoy.
Which is good that I enjoyed them because the storyline was a bit weak. The ghosts, evil-eating tree, and demon felt a bit forced to me. Like needing extra paranormal aspects to make it more interesting but it jus...more

The third book in the "Immortality Bites" series...and the best one yet! I wasn't sure about this book at first because, instead of being told through the perspective of Sarah Dearly (as was the case in the first two books) this book is told in the third person omniscience alternating between Michael Quinn and Janie Parker - two lesser characters introduced in the previous books. Because of this change in narrator, i thought this installment wouldn't be a good as the first two, but boy...more
Después de Vampira y estupenda mis ganas de continuar la serie eran pocas. Pero el personaje de Quinn me llamaba demasiado la atención desde los primeros libros.
Tras leerlo puedo decir que, para mí, es el mejor de la serie sin duda. Divertido y muy entretenido, se pasa el tiempo volando mientras lo lees y lo he disfrutado mucho.
De romance mejor ni hablo , me da que a Rowen no se le da nada bien escribir sobre el tema así que directamente pasa de el. En este caso no me hizo falta, al co...more

This a typical, boy gets thrown together with girl and they hate each other, but have to work together kind of book. This one is very funny though.
Quinn is a vampire hunter-turned vampire, and Janie is a hired gun sent to find Quinn. They are both after the same artifact, and they will have to work together to get it with the help of Barkley, and Lenny.
This book could stand alone, but it does help to have read at least the one right before it. I love that Barkley and Lenny are in thi...more

Another winner in Michelle Rowen's Immortality Bites series. This book focuses on what happens to Michael Quinn after he walks out of Sarah's life in Fanged & Fabulous.
Feeling sorry for himself because he can't deal with being a vampire -- one of the creatures he tracked and killed as a former hunter -- Quinn agrees to drive werewolf Barkley from Toronto, Canada to his pack in Arizona. But Quinn has another interest in Arizona -- tracking down an ancient treasure known as "The...more

I really enjoyed the first books in this series so was disappointed when I just couldn't get into this book. I picked it up 3 or 4 different times and just wasn't interested in the characters or story. I finally gave up around page 200 and took it back to the libary unfinished - and I almost NEVER quit that far into a book. The story was pretty predictable and I guess Quinn just didn't do it for me. I'm going to give book 4 a try and hope to see more of my favorite characters from previous b...more
I enjoyed this book about Michael Quinn - the vampire hunter turned vampire that Sarah Dearly befriends in previous books in the Immortality Bites series. He meets Janie Parker as they both search for a magical artifact, The Eye. Matthew Barkely, the werewolf, is Quinn's sidekick, and Janie's partner Lenny, a huge enforcer type with the soul of a poet, is a fun secondary character. The story follows their adventures as they fight with Quinn's old mentor, Janie's evil boss, and each other on t...more
Slightly different from the first two in the Immortality Bites because, rather than the story being told from Sarah Dearly's point of view, it's told in the third person and doesn't feature Sarah at all.
Lady and the Vamp follows Quin (ex vampire hunter now vampire), his new werewolf (would be alpha) buddy Barkley (love that name) and Janie (yes, all characters we've seen in the last book)
Quinn wants to be mortal again - he's on the search for a mystical relic that can give him ...more

Third in this series, it focuses on Michael Quinn, newbie vampire and former vampire hunter, that Sarah saves from certain death in the 1st novel. He teams up with Janie, formerly Sarah's bodyguard, on a hunt for The Eye, which is reputed to be magical and grant one wish. Any guess what Quinn's wish is?
Once again, a book that had me laughing and enjoying it so much I wanted nothing more than to get back to it every time I had to out it down. Really like Quinn and his huge heart and loved getting to see more of Janie and her kick butt attitude. A little predictable, but that's okay with me, it was a fun read.
The third of the Immortality Bites series deals with Quinn's quest to fine the "Eye" a mystical item which will grant one wish per 1000 years. In his quest Quinn takes Barkley the werewolf home meeting peril and Janie Parker along the way. The love and romance between Quinn and Janie develops throughout this book. It is very good and the storyline draws you in. I recommend this book.
It is an enjoyable book, no doubt - but it isn't very surprising. After the first fifty or so pages it was pretty darn obvious where the story was going. Sure, there were some twists and turns I might not have forseen, but all in all a rather lame story. The humour keeps in interesting, not the interest in the lovebirds... and I do like Barkley the werewolf. ;-)
Supernatural assassin Janie Parker works for The Boss doing whatever nasty little jobs he devises. Her current assignment is finding The Eye and bringing it to him. Vampire Michael Quinn is currently hunting The Eye and Janie joins him in his quest. The only sticking point? Janie is supposed to kill him after they find it. However, once she falls in love with him, this is no longer an option. Now she has to think quickly to keep The Boss from killing her once he finds out that she has fail...more
j'ai trouvé ça sympa d'avoir un tome du point de vue de Quinn mais j'avoue que je préfère quand même de celui de sarah ! D'ailleurs aprés avoir été aussi collé à elle, il l'oublie bien vite ! Par contre j'ai vraiment adoré le personnage de Barkley !
I enjoyed Janie Parker more as a heroine that Sarah Dearly from the first two books in the Immortality Bites series. I was glad that Quinn got his own HEA. I do hope that open their own detective agency. It would make a great spin-off series.
WARNING- If you haven't read this book yet, do not read my review because I'm probably going to spoil it. I really liked the first two books of the Immortality bites series, so this was a little bit of a let down because I really was hoping Quinn and Sarah would eventually get together Lady & the Vamp finally let me know that that wasn't going to happen. All in all, I liked it.
This book reading wasn't so much of a "guilty pleasure" than it was a "guilty-need-of-escape-having-nothing-better-to-read" for me.
A story following a hot, blonde, female mercenary on a mission to retrive an enchanted, wish granting, relic while falling in love with a hot, blonde, hunky, ex-vampire hunter turned vamp, meanwhile her long-lost sister's life all depends on the retieval of this ancient relic...oh yeah, there's a werewolf too.

*3.5-4 stars* The book was cute and quirky, I enjoyed it. However, it was a little off that the main character was Quinn…the other books in the series are all about Sarah Dearly, who wasn't even in this book…..but, nevertheless, the book was enjoyable
This book takes two characters, from the first two books, through their own story line which is an interesting twist in the series. I’m curious to see what direction the next book will take.
one of the best books from the series!!!! its a good backround story that has many turns that will leave u wanting more...
