Description

Newly undead shifter-turned-vampire Kita Nekai is coming to grips with the reality that her cat has not awakened since her change. What she needs is a little time to adjust to her new liquid diet and the increasingly complex attraction to her sire, Nathanial. What she gets is a headless harlequin. With the body count rising, Kita is dragged into a dangerous game of vampire politics. Her involvement draws the attention of an ancient vampire known as the Collector who has a penchant for acquiring the unusual - like a pureblood shifter-turned vampire. Kita still has unfinished business of her own and finds herself deeper in magical debt. It's a bad time to be a kitten who can't slip her skin.

Another smashing hit by Price! Darker, edgier, and even more action packed than the first book, if you can believe it! The characters really shine through in this book and I devoured thier sorry in one sitting. This is an epic paranormal fantasy that will have readers unable to put this one down.

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!

This is the 2nd book in the series, and it is for adults only due to the scenes of violence and sexual imagery. I highly recommend reading the books in order, so you have a better understanding of the characters and what’s going on.

This series is definitely getting better! Kita is an amazing lead with more strength than I would have considering her penchant for getting into loads of trouble without much effort. It is like she is a magnet for it! Though I really want to slap her and Nathanial, I keep expecting them to realize they have feelings for each other, but they keep screwing it up. There is a time or two that I wanted to slap Nathanial, but you will have to read it to figure out where and why. Of course there is tons of action, mystery, intrigue, and still quite a bit unknown about this world. I can’t wait to learn more about the trouble Kita will get herself into and what she is capable of!

I recommend this book to any paranormal fan who like mystery and intrigue of an unknown world with a hybrid that we have no idea what she is capable of!! You will find shifters, vampires, hybrid, skinwalkers, mages, necromancers, murder, death, treachery, magic, and more!!!

Things start to get really complicated for Kita Nekai in this the second book of the Haven series. She is a shifter who was turned into a vampire and struggles to reconcile the two parts of herself. Obviously she is not allowed to do that in peace and therefore the action is breakneck and continuous and the whole timeline is still only a few weeks over the two books! I really enjoyed book one and dived into this second book with relish. I have obviously come late to this series as they were written in 2010/2011 and the fact that they are being offered again to read now, makes me hopeful that book three is on its way soon.

This the second book featuring shifter Kita Nekai - newly turned Vampire .
A much, much, much better read than book one with better characterisation .

Newly undead shifter-turned-vampire Kita Nekai is coming to grips with the reality that her cat has not awakened since her change and she now has a liquid diet ....BLOOD !
Now the Vampire Council has insisted that she must appear before them - where she draws the attention of The Collector ...... an old Vampire who likes to collect the unusual .... KITA ??.
Whilst the Council meet a bored Kita decides to find a quiet seat and watch the Vampires around her ...BUT the other person on the seat , dressed as a mannequin , turns out to be dead ... and she happens to be one of triplets , owned by The Collector!!
Kita immediately becomes the center of attention , the last thing she or Nathaniel wanted , and must face questions regarding her possible involvement .
The vampire king of the city,Tatius takes advantage of the meeting, by making Kita his special companion.....but if she wants to get Nathaniel and herself out alive, she sucks up her usual sarcasm and independence, and lets herself be used.
Unfortunately more bodies start to be found and Nathaniel and Kita , with a little help from the apprentice witch and old flame , must find who the murderer is and what the intended outcome means for their future .

This was a much better book in this series which bodes well for more in the future .

I love author Kalayna Price's ALEX CRAFT series so not sure how I missed her HAVEN series. The first book in the HAVEN series is entertaining, but TWICE DEAD is all-consuming. I read it start to finish in one sitting! There is just so much going on with the main characters... Kita and Nathaniel. Is it terrible to say that I want to see more of Nathaniel's brother, Tatius?! I cannot wait to read the next installation in the HAVEN series!

Now this is a good book!

After finding Once Bitten in the meh waters, Twice Dead fixes all of those bad feelings that I had about the series in a spectacular fashion. Price finds her stride in this book. Kita is faced with so many different trials and tribulations that it’s hard to book this book down. Being a were isn’t easy, but being the first were/vampire crossbreed is doubly hard. Kita is unique in her world, and with that, comes with an entire laundry list of hurdles to jump. Throw in the fact that she’s literal in the middle of a were-vamp pissing match between her attached ex and vampire sire, and you have one hell of a story! The tension between these three characters is off the charts, and add some sizzle and spice to an already interesting story.

This series has definitely moved up higher on my TBR list for the book that is set to release next year. I just hope the pop and sizzle of this series only continues to grow more.
