Mile High with a Vampire is the thirty-third book in the Argeneau series by Lynsay Sands. Bringing readers further into her immortal world, Sands is hitting a new stride within the series, simultaneously weaving past plots with new characters and new enemies.

In Mile High with a Vampire, Quinn has been an immortal for four years, but has spent every minute of that time withdrawn and refusing to accept who, and what, she has become. But just when she finally decides to seek help, the plane she's on crashes and Quinn must save herself and the pilot. But getting them to safety reveals one thing about Jet she wasn't expecting: he's her life mate.

Jet has been pining for Quinn ever since he met her four years ago. He never imagined that being a pilot for immortals would lead him to his life mate. Now that he's met her he doesn't want to let her go, but immortals from Quinn's past have other ideas. And Quinn herself isn't so sure. It will be up to Jet and the Argeneaus to convince Quinn to let her past go and embrace both her life mate and her future.

I think Sands writing and story telling is only getting sharper as the world of the immortals expands. We originally meet Quinn in the 29th book of the series, when her twin sister Pet finds her life mate in Santo Notte. We also get part of Quinn's tragic past in that book. Mile High with a Vampire does a fabulous job at building upon that story, adding new elements, and making what was Pet's story into Quinn's. I loved the connections between those two books. And, of course, we see return appearances by many immortals we've met in previous books, including some we haven't seen in a while. There definitely seemed to be more action (and more trouble for the immortals) in this book than others in the series, but Sands executed those scenes well. And of course there was plenty of interaction between the new life mates. Mile High with a Vampire was a fantastic addition to the Argeneau series, with a robust cast of characters, a complex plot, and all the humor readers have come to expect from a Lynsay Sands novel.

Jet was flying five vampires, when something happens and they do a crash landing. Jet was in the military and when he got out, he became a pilot for Argeneau. The other pilot is killed and Jet becomes hunted for his blood. Quinn was a heart surgeon but her husband turned her and her son in immortals. It happened four years ago and Quinn still hasn’t accepted it yet. She is flying to Canada to get help. She’s not injured in the crash and has to get Jet to safety before the others come after them. After going to sleep, they dream together which is a sign of life mates. After they are found by Jet’s boss, they have to figure out who put bombs on the planes and who was targeted.
Really good story. I had trouble a couple of times and had to reread the same paragraph. There is hot sexual tension. A little gross. And a couple of funny parts. Quinn just needs to accept her new life and move on. Jet is the type every woman wants to find.

While I haven't read all 33 books in the Argeneau series, every time I do read one I wonder why I haven't read them all. These books just satisfy on all levels. You have to go into it accepting (to some degree) of a fated mates. You also have to accept vampires - but vampires are sometimes easier to mentally go with more than fated mates.

Quinn was turned into a vampire against her will as a casualty of her husband being turned by a rogue vampire. Since that time Quinn has been struggling to come to terms with her new life. She's grieving the loss of her career as a renowned cardiothoracic surgeon, as well as the trauma of the situation. She's refused to accept her life and has withdrawn from contact with anyone other than her son and sister. She has agreed to accept counseling to try and move forward, when the plane she is on crashes in the remote Canadian wilderness.

Jet Latimer is one of the pilots on the plane and the only human. With some severe injuries to the survivors - all of whom are vampires - he quickly becomes the only food source available. So for the first time in 5 years, Quinn starts using some of her vampire abilities. From that point on - it is race to figure out why the plane crash happened and to learn more about Quinn's history.

This book goes in to a lot of depth about how the human brain processes trauma and loss. These vampires all have a history that includes a lot of both, I thought the way Lynsay Sands approached it was related and poignant.

Overall - bring on more books! And don't mind me while I deep dive into the series.

I received this as an ARC from NetGalley, but these opinions are all my own.
