I am the greatest of monsters… eternity. Three gargoyles I killed have returned from the dead to seek, not only revenge against me, but also to remove the curse I’ve inadvertently passed onto them. But if they can’t provide me with the blood I need to quench my hunger, all of humanity will be in danger on our path.
And so, we strike a deal: they’ll provide me with blood, and I’ll help to seek the answers to end this curse.
I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was afraid. Of trusting my enemies, yes, but more than anything, of trusting myself. I am a bloodthirsty monster that can shift into a dangerous form, that feeds on blood, that kills. Am I a fool to think I could be anything more?
LAMIA’S BITE is a paranormal reverse harem romance featuring a vampiristic heroine and three sexy gargoyles. This is also a #whychoose romance, meaning our heroine doesn’t need to choose between her love interests. And like all the books in this series, it’s so hot it might just boil your blood!

Listened via audible: Lamia’s blood is a great book. From the start I was pulled in. The story and characters are all well written. The narration was great. I would recommend reading.
Lamia was made a monster, many centuries ago, and has been trying to hide away but the hunger for blood eventually forces her to kill, and it eats her up inside. All she wants is her children back, and she will do anything she can to make it happen.
When three Gargoyles return from the dead, they seek revenge on the monster that killed them but what they find is Lamia, wracked with guilt. Together they embark on a journey that should get them everything they want, but along the way, their hatred and revenge gets replaced with hope of a new life together.
Lamia is so emotional over the death of her children, and the horrors she has seen, that she hides away from everyone.
After this book got off to a dark, mysterious start, I was completely hooked. It only continued to grow more interesting from there. A very fun read—I hope to experience more from this author.
Interesting characters.
Reluctant mates.
Heartache.
Corruption.
Violence.
Great world-building.
Intricate descriptions.
Steamy group scenes.
4 stars.
Note:
The audio performance is great! Narrator’s voice is very easy on the ears and even stands up to being sped up!
I love when the monsters get their stories told. Lamia has a lot of feels in it. The character development is deep and intriguing. The gargoyles have their own pain to overcome as well. This is a dramatic and heart wrenching story full of healing and the search for a happy future. The quest they go on adds another level of interest and action. Definitely recommend.
This was great read, I was hooked, I couldn’t resist Lamia’s awful story or the Gargoyles protectiveness despite trying to hate her. Some great plot twists and I really loved the poetic justice served up to Edgar! I love this series, and its different view of the Green Pantheon, I can’t wait for the next book, to hear Shade’s story, and more great narration. I received this book in exchange for my honest review.
I read this as part of the Monsters and Gargoyles: (Books 4-6): A Paranormal Reverse Harem Romance (Monsters and Gargoyles Box Set Book 2). I’ll review it after I finish, but I just can’t help enthusing about this story. This book builds on previous books in the series, Medusa’s Destiny: A Paranormal Reverse Harem Romance (Monsters and Gargoyles Book 1) and Keto’s Tale: A Reverse Harem Romance (Monsters and Gargoyles Book 2). They are both wonderful stories, and available in Monsters and Gargoyles: (Books 1-3) or individually. Lamia was raped by Zeus and cursed by Hera to her current form thousands of years ago. She lives with the guilt of having murdered her husband and children. The siren Agalope brings her a book that shows other snake shifters like her. Ryker, a gargoyle buried as dead, is resurrected after Lamia reads from the book. Darius, a gargoyle, is drawn to Vincent, another gargoyle just resurrected. The gargoyles find Lamia and decide to postpone killing her until they get their curse reversed at a magic cave. They must travel together and feel a constant, increasing attraction to Lamia, and she feels drawn to them. There is a huge amount of sexual and relationship tension as the gargoyles try to resist Lamia and Lamia continues to see herself as a monster. Emotions run high as each, in turn, face their own guilt and past. Tension mounts as they approach their goal. The final climax is expected, but still heart-warming and happy.
Lamia was cursed for something that wasn’t her fault and her curse caused her to kill her husband and children. Many, many years have passed and there have been many victims including three gargoyles. They have now joined her on a mission to possibly end the curse. Will they?
Love this twisted mythology series! Lamia’s Blood was an excellent addition. A relatable MC and her smoking hot gargoyle/vamps lead another epic adventure. Action, mystery and steamy scenes will have you reading into the night. Can’t wait to see what this super creative writer cooks up next!

******** May Contain Some Spoilers ********
I will try my absolute best to keep spoilers to a minimum or completely out of my review. Sometimes it can be hard to do so.
Lacey is rocking this series! I love every book in the series! This book might be my favorite by far. I did get emotional while reading but that just means the author ROCKS!
Okay so let’s get to our monster Lamia. Lamia was a normal woman cursed by the Goddess Hera. Hera is just a sad goddess that can’t her man happy and then blames the poor woman he tricks. I really hope in one of these books in the series, someone gives debitch Hera what she deserves. Anyhoo, 3 gargoyles, Ryker, Darius, and Vincent, were killed by Lamia. Somehow they come back to life and are linked to Lamia. They are not happy! The gargoyles have to help Lamia on a quest to reverse curse. The Gods and Goddesses even get involved in this quest. Some good some bad. Very interesting quest. A lot of action, fighting, blood, and unexpected romance. I would like to know what happens later with Lamia and her gargoyles. I hope Lacey will give us novella with these monsters.

~~ I have Kindle Unlimited, and I used that service to read this book. ~~
I totally love this book! This series is amazing!
Oh my goodness this book is absolutely amazing. With lamias background you feel so bad for her and understand completely why she stays isolated from everyone. The guys are completely mind blowing hot and completely mixed up on their feelings about whether they want to kill her or be with her. Throughout the book you are kept on the edge of your seat with the twists and turns it takes. It’s very smooth and easy to read and I highly recommend it to everyone.
