Book Review! Fight or Flight by Emily Cyr

Fight or Flight (Vampire Favors #3) by Emily Cyr
Genre: Adult Fiction (Paranormal Romance/Urban Fantasy)
Date Published: January 30, 2018
Publisher: Cyr House Publishing

Addison Fitzpatrick is at a turning point in her life. The demons she thought she’d defeated are back and stronger than ever. Her past issues with drugs threaten to overwhelm her. And that isn’t even the worst of her problems.

Addison was forced to kill the only family she had left and moments afterward was rejected by a man she cared about. Now, she’s called in to not only repay yet another favor for Cannon Blackwood, but for Evie the witch, and just about every one of her friends. These favors come at a cost; they force her to confront and employ the help of the one person she’d rather not see, Lachlan O’Brian.

Cannon requires Addison to retrieve something of his from Merriam, a powerful master vampire. Easier said than done. Addison might be a pusher with super-human abilities, but that won’t be enough. She will have to risk everything, all while battling herself, an ancient evil, a stalker, and two brothers who are feuding for her affections. No one ever said repaying favors to a vampire would be easy and Addison's life is living proof.

Fight or Flight is the third book in the Vampire Favors series by Emily Cyr. Favors, Favors everywhere. I guess that's why it's the Vampire Favors series, huh? *wink* So, it looks like Addison still struggles with her addiction. And, she was doing so well in the last book. I thought it was all behind her. I really love her character though. Her personality is so much fun. All the characters are back, and they all bring something to story. Sometimes I wanted to kick them. Sometimes I wanted to kiss them. We can always depend on this series to have action too, and there is lots going on! Speaking of which, Cannon or Lachlan? Lachlan or Cannon? I really like both of these guys! Cannon with his bad boy appeal, and Lachan with his broody ways. I just can't get enough of this series.

Book Review! Give and Take by Emily Cyr

Give and Take (Vampire Favors #2) by Emily Cyr
Genre: Adult Fiction (Paranormal Romance/Urban Fantasy)
Date Published: June 1, 2016
Publisher: Cyr House Publishing

This book is for 18+

Addison Fitzpatrick settled her first favor, a cataclysmic repayment that ended with hundreds of Pushers dead. Three months later, she receives a letter from the Vampire who betrayed her trust, asking her to save him.

The cryptic letter makes one fact perfectly clear – she has to find Lachlan, assuming he’s not already dead. In doing so, she is forced to do the one thing he asked her not to: involve Cannon.

But the search for Lachlan comes with a price. Addison is forced deeper into her debt, just as her life is put in jeopardy when a new danger surfaces. One from her past, stirring up inner demons threatening to take her back to hell.

Now Addison must find a way to kill a supernatural being she’s never even heard of, all while protecting her heart from its love for Lachlan, and its confusing stirrings toward Cannon. It was so much easier to hate the vampires.

Things are not always what they seem in Addison’s world. The fight to save Lachlan will test her strength, her conviction, and her skill as a Pusher. Will she survive unscathed, or will she let the demons win?

Give and Take is the second book in the Vampire Favors series by Emily Cyr. Addison hasn't lost her attitude! She just can't shut up.. even if her life depends on it. I love it! She is such a spit fire! There was a lot of action. The story flowed quickly, and I was done reading before I knew it. We get to know Cannon a little better this time, and I have to say, grew on me a lot through this story. I mean, he had that whole bad boy appeal from the first book, but now that I've gotten to know him a little better? He tries to hide parts of himself, and I like when bit start to sneak out. Some of the moments between Cannon and Addison were completely intoxicating. So, it's become somewhat of a triangle, and I'm okay with that, but I'm glad I'm not Addison. Because, well, yeah... I don't know who I'd choose either.

"Hey, where are my clothes, and why am I naked?"
"I burned your clothes. They were filthy." he commented nonchalantly, walking out of the closet. He had suit pants on, and they hugged him low on his hips. Oh to be a pair of his pants in the next life. He raised an eyebrow at me in what looked like question and amusement.
"Get out of my head!" I growled.

Audiobook Blitz! Push and Pull by Emily Cyr

Push and Pull (Vampire Favors #1) by Emily Cyr
Genre: Adult Fiction (Paranormal Romance/Urban Fantasy)
Date Published: April 2, 2015
Publisher: Cyr House Publishing

Seven years ago, Addison Fitzpatrick found herself in a bit of a bind. In true Addison-fashion, she'd angered a drug dealer; she may have “forgotten” to pay him. Just when it was time to pay the piper, she was offered a way out by an unlikely being. Cannon Blackwood, master of vampires, made her an offer she couldn't refuse. Now, Addison owes Cannon three favors.

Seven years after that fateful meeting, just as Addison’s life is getting back on track, Cannon calls in one of the favors she owes him. There is a new drug that threatens the very existence of the vampire race and Cannon needs Addison, along with his brother Lachlan, who happens to be a professional thief, to steal it and destroy any evidence of it. 

Not only is the future of the vampires on the line, but with both Cannon and Lachlan vying for her attention, her heart is as well. Addison has difficult choices to make and dangerous favors to repay if she wants to see the light of another day.

Push and Pull is the first book in the Vampire Favors series by Emily Cyr. The narrator on the audiobook did a wonderful job. She added the emotion necessary, the voice inflections were spot on, and she even did a sound effect or two when a character snorted or something like that. It wasn't over acted. It was just right.

The story was pretty darn good too. I sympathized with Addison from the beginning. She's done dumb things, and she owns up to it. There's tremendous growth in her character from the beginning to the end, and she keeps her sense of humor through it all. The vampires are intriguing. These aren't necessarily friendly, huggy vampires. They're pretty alpha and used to getting their way. Many don't think much of humans, and they have a hierarchy amongst themselves that they seem to follow for the most part. Addison is in debt to Cannon. Because of this, Cannon thinks he owns her. Lachlan enters the picture, and he's not a whole lot better. He's broody and grumpy. He's used to being in control. Addison has other thoughts on the matter, and it's fun watching her put these guys in their places. It's almost like a good cop/bad cop kind of thing between Cannon and Lachlan. Or at least that's the way it feels to me, because I'm not sure who I trust as far as the vampires are concerned. If I trust them at all. I feel like there's more info to be gathered in upcoming books, and I'm looking forward to them quite a bit.
