ALASDAIR
was one of those books I went into with zero expectations. In fact, I'd expected not to like it. Somewhere in the blog tour sign-up, I'd missed the fact that this is a paranormal book. I guess my eyes focused in on Ella Frank and MM and everything else seemed to fade to gray. Anywho, this is one of those times I went outside my typical reading comfort zone and found myself refreshingly pleased in the outcome. I'm not going to say there wasn't a fair number of tex

"I'd be inside your body. Your mind. Sometimes both."

Ella Frank has always been on my list of authors that I MUST read and one-click. I have practically read all her books and always found myself devouring every book. When I first heard that she was releasing a new book titled Alasdair, I knew I had to read this book stat. In all honesty, I knew this book was going to be a paranormal/supernatural romance but I didn't know it was going to be

4.25 “Thelo na se gamiso” Stars!

Alasdair Kyriakous is a devastatingly handsome vampire with dark hair and emerald green eyes. He is a direct sire of one of the ancients known as Vasilios; thereby also making him very powerful. Along with Alasdair, his two cousins, Isadora and Thanos, are also direct sires which makes these three a potent trinity. With news of a potential threat to the ancients and their first sires, they must act quickly to uncover and eliminate the danger.

Alasdair (Masters Among Monsters #1) by Ella Frank
4.5 stars!!

“First, you terrorize me, then you kidnap me, and now, you’re hell bent on destroying my life. If this is your version of playing with your food, I think you’ve taken it far enough.”


Wow, once again Ella Frank never ceases to amaze me, what a start to this MM Vampire series. Did you notice I did not say romance…well for me this story was entirely plot driven and the MM erotica was just an extremely welcome added bonus. What

Review:

It started off as a game of chase, a deadly one when an unexpected discovery finds Alasdair torn between desire; loyalty and survival as he contemplates his next feed. Alasdair is a powerful vampire, sired by one of the Ancients, Vasilios, and is renowned for his position and ways. Alasdair all about the hunt, savouring the moment, hearing an altering heart beat and knowing he will win in the end…or will he

I'm a huge fan of Ella's. I've loved everything she's written, and I can honestly say I've read ALL of her books. I'm not a big paranormal fan, which made me hesitate to read this. I should've known that I wouldn't be disappointed.

Not only does she write paranormal so incredibly well, she writes it incredibly HOT. This book is not only paranormal, it's M/M as well.

Alasdair - literally a Greek god - is one of the oldest and most powerful vampires. He's got an iron-clad control over his desires.

I really enjoyed reading Alasdair, book 1 in the Masters Among Monsters series by Ella Frank.
If you like Greek mythology and vampires, in Alasdair it's a magical combination. Ella Frank's writing in enthralling, captivating and totally amazing.
I loved the relationship between Alasdair, a +2000yo vampire, and Leonidas, an archeologist in his mi-30s.
Their banter was exquisite:

"Tonight's the night, isn't it? You're actually going to do it. Kill me."
"Yes, I am."

"If you were going to kill me, you wou
