Synopsis

Vampire and thief Raylene Pendle doesn’t need more complications in her life. Her Seattle home is already overrun by a band of misfits, including Ian Stott, a blind vampire, and Adrian deJesus, an ex–Navy SEAL/drag queen. But Raylene still can’t resist an old pal’s request: seek out and steal a bizarre set of artifacts. Also on the hunt is a brilliant but certifiably crazy sorceress determined to stomp anyone who gets in her way. But Raylene’s biggest problem is that Ian, after the death of his vaunted patriarch, has become the next target of some bloodsucking sociopaths. Now Raylene must snatch up the potent relics, solve a murder, and keep Ian safe—all while fending off that psychotic sorceress. But at least she won’t be alone. A girl could do a lot worse for a partner than an ass-kicking drag queen—right?“Witty, fast-paced, and fabulous…a vastly entertaining read!” —New York Times bestselling author Jeaniene Frost“Catapults the kick-ass urban fantasy heroine into the realm of the truly bad-ass.” —Nicole Peeler, author of Tempest’s Legacy“Refreshing and addictive.” —Kirkus Reviews

Goodreads review by Maja (The Nocturnal Library) on September 12, 2011

2.5 stars Hellbent was not what I thought it would be. After the mediocre first installment, I’d hoped that the second book would show some improvement plotwise and character-wise. However, Hellbent was, in my opinion, inferior to Bloodshot in every way. The events of Bloodshot proved to be life-chan......more

Goodreads review by Felicia on September 19, 2011

Soo I really liked the first book in this series, and enjoyed a lot of things about this followup. There were fun trips into "House" vampire lore, I liked the subplot with the magic "penis bones" (although there were about 100 too many boner jokes, even for ME!!! :) ) Conclusion: It's a sold urban f......more

Goodreads review by Kelli on August 26, 2011

Book: B+ Narration: A- So the other night Raylene Pendle was telling me this story... What's that? That was an audiobook? Someone named Natalie Ross narrated it? Nope. Sorry. You’ve got it all wrong. I don't know where you’re getting your information but that was Raylene telling me the story of her ad......more

Goodreads review by Brooke on December 16, 2011

This book was a total riot. On Raylene Pendle's second outing, the vampire thief gets contracted to steal a collection of supernatural penis bones. And in case you are cringing at the idea of a completely unironic penis bone search, I assure you that this quest is completely milked for all the jokes......more

Goodreads review by Kat on October 31, 2011

Mwahahaha! How can you not like a book whose first chapter is just one long dick joke? And it's a true urban fantasy that is not a mis-labeled paranormal romance--there's no sex here, just a lot of hilarity about penis bones and how to steal them. Thief and vampire Raylene Pendle is hired to retrieve......more
