At first I really wasn't so sure about this book. Urban fantasy is not really my forte. But the world the Saare has created was dark and had a total sexy vibe to it. Rhiannon was a bit on the rough side but I kind of enjoyed her that way. She was different and alluring at times. Rhiannon had a lot going on and she got to talk to dead people. Well to me that's pretty cool and a tad freaky. Although she really doesn't like to talk to them and tries her hardest to ignore them.

Anyhoo, Rhiannon working as a bartender in a gentleman’s club. Disco ends up wanting to meet with her after work and needs her help. He demands her help on finding the local vampires who are disappearing. After that I was hooked. Rhiannon reminded me of Anita Blake just without the humping every guy around. She is now one of my favorite UF heroines.
I ended up liking her cause well she is honest and isn't afraid to to get down and dirty if needed. Positively kick ass!

Disco is such a different kind of guy that what I am used to reading about but he was shy and I was a bit taken back by that. The two of them were so different but hey opposites attract. I found him kind of dreamy and totally wanted to be her sometimes. Disco had some serious sexy appeal that had me swooning.

The book started off a little dull for me but then out of no where picks up speed and I couldn't slow down. The sexual tension was heart pounding and I loved every minute of it. The characters were awesome. I happened to love them both. You get a great look into Rhinannon's past as well as Disco's and that was important to me. Saare is a genius putting these two main characters together. They worked and I am a sucker for when things work. The plot was interesting and will keep you intrigued and on your toes. From what I hear we wont have to wait long for the second book in the series and I am super happy about that. I was looking for more so this is just fabulous news.

This was a wonderful book so if I were you I wouldn't wait that long to get your copy. You have no idea what you are missing. Its sexy, action packed and was so mysterious. Dead, Undead or Somewhere In Between is a great addition to the paranormal realm. Thank you Saare for giving us something great to read about. Happy Reading. ...more

Why do I love Dead, Undead or Somewhere in Between? Let me count the reasons.

First of all, there's Rhiannon. She's a smart, kick ass chick who doesn't take any guff from anyone. She can take care of herself, and that's really saying a lot since she sees dead people. She's capable and smart and the kind of girl you'd want to stand back to back with in a fight. Her loyalty, once earned, is to the death. She fights a lot of enemies in Dead, both internal and external, but she always goes down swing Why do I love Dead, Undead or Somewhere in Between? Let me count the reasons.

She's capable and smart and the kind of girl you'd want to stand back to back with in a fight. Her loyalty, once earned, is to the death. She fights a lot of enemies in Dead, both internal and external, but she always goes down swinging. I can't wait to see what the future holds for her.

Next, there's Disco, a badass vampire who could take you out with nary more than the narrowing of his gorgeous eyes and some well-placed thoughts. Strong and powerful, but never cliched, he's the kind of hero every story needs. He's sexy and protective and deadly. Need I say more?

Then there's the twists of Ms. Saare's paranormal world. I love vampires, but let's face it, they've been done to undeath. Ms. Saare manages to make her world fresh and new and completely unlike any story I've read before. Her characters leap off the page - fangs bared, in some cases, but in a striking, vibrant way that will leave you clamoring for more. Her level of detail is unsurpassed. One of the things I love about this author's work is her ability to craft scenes that linger in a reader's mind long after they reach "The End." That's especially true here. Her writing sweeps you away. You ache with her characters, you fear for them, you rejoice with them - and in so doing, sometimes you forget to do essential things like eat and sleep. ;)

Finally, there's the action! It never stops, and you never get a chance to relax. There is romance here, but make no mistake, this is gritty urban fantasy at its finest. Dead is a non-stop thrill ride from start to finish, and around every turn comes the unexpected. I can honestly say this book took me places I did not expect to go, and I loved every minute of the trip.

Since this is book one of a series, I know there's more to come. And luckily, I can always read - and reread - while I wait. ...more

Shelves: vampires, urban-fantasy, paranormal

Rhiannon is a heroine that I can get behind! She is smart, tough, looks out for herself, but doesn’t say no to help and helping others. I was worried that she would hem and haw in her decision making about joining a vampire family, but she is smart and makes a great decision. She weighs pros and cons at each step of the way, knows how to compromise, but stays true to herself. She is a joy to read.

This is a fun, vibrant story and I recommend it to anyone that enjoys a good vampire, urban fantasy ...more
