Oh my! I never thought I’d say this, but I loved, loved, loved Quinn! What a tasty treat for lovers of vampire romance and another example of why I love A.K. Michaels! In Quinn, the ninth release of A Vampire’s Thirst Collection, Michaels once again pulls out all the stops with another fabulous addition to the collection. Quinn literally explodes with perilous danger, heartbreaking drama, heart-stopping action, agonizing angst, steamy passion, and dreamy romance from beginning to end! Once I started reading, I couldn’t stop! I was completely mesmerized from the first page till the last and loved every single minute! Can you tell I really enjoyed this book? lol… Now, let me tell you why!
Quinn is a riveting, highly imaginative, well-crafted, fast-paced, easy-to-follow full-length standalone paranormal tale filled with danger, drama, action, suspense, and romance. The narrative is beautifully written in the third person with the primary perspective from ancient vampire Quinn Alexander but in typical Michaels fashion, we also get a secondary point of view from the female protagonist, tiger-shifter Amaya. The dialogue is smart, snappy, well-executed, and flows effortlessly. There’s just so much I love about Michael’s writing but my favorite component, by far, is the large cast of engaging characters. They literally explode from the pages, grab your imagination, capture your heart, and hold you prisoner from the first chapter till the last! In this latest release to the collection, Michaels gives her readers a pulse-pounding adventure featuring wealthy Scottish businessman and ancient vampire Quinn Alexander and his Bloodmate Amaya, a tiger-shifter and kindhearted thief who steals from unsavory criminals and gives to the poor and downtrodden. Quinn is handsome, courageous, fierce, imposing, and filthy rich. He’s cool, calm, and always controlled, often to the extreme and very much a control freak, similar to humans diagnosed with OCD, which has actually served him well in the past with his business dealings. But for the first time in his life, Quinn’s lost his steely control and finds himself completely at the mercy of a thirst, unlike anything he’s ever experienced in his very long life. Yet, no matter the cost, Quinn’s determined to decimate anyone or anything endangering his newly found Bloodmate, including The Directive, the organization responsible for policing all supernaturals. Quinn is an ancient vampire, a daywalker, and truly a force to be reckoned with, especially now that he’s found his Bloodmate and focused solely on claiming and protecting her, regardless of the consequences. I’ll admit, I didn’t like Quinn when he was first introduced in Flint’s book. He appeared cold, hard, unfeeling, uptight, completely heartless, very much a control freak, and a total a$$hole with no redeeming qualities, only interested in material possessions and making money, but it only took the right woman to bring him to his knees, and that woman was Amaya. *sigh* I knew it would take one very special woman to capture his cold, dead heart, and Amaya was perfect. Amaya is a beautiful, brave, selfless, caring, kindhearted tiger shifter who became an orphan as a small child, forced to live with a cruel uncle, and ran away to live on the streets at fifteen. She’s spent her life surviving the only way she knew how, stealing, but attempts to balance the scales by taking only from criminals and giving the majority of her ill-gotten gains to the poor and downtrodden. Poor Quinn, he’s so clueless. He has no idea what’s happening to him until Jana Noskova, The Directive’s second in command, shows up unexpectedly and corners him at a club in Hong Kong during an extravagant party for the release of his most recent business venture, a game app called Scales of Sin. I saw a different side to Quinn in this story and felt so bad for the big guy. Had it not been for his longtime friend and personal bodyguard Thorne and Jana Noskova of The Directive, Quinn would probably have wound up in a Directive cell or worse -dead, which brings me to one of the other things I enjoy most about Michaels’ writing – the way she integrates familiar characters from other books into the current storyline. It makes the story so much more personal for the reader and in Quinn, we see several others from the cast in Michaels’ first two books, including Directive second in command Jana Noskova, Henry the witch, and Mac, the werewolf from Scotland who helped Flint defend his Bloodmate. Plus we also get to meet a few new players that I hope we’ll be hearing more about including Ace, Quinn’s head of security, and a tough as nails ancient female vampire from Italy, Delia Constanzo, who also works for The Directive. I’ve always been fascinated by kick-butt female characters and so hope Delia and Jana get their own books!
Did I like this book? Yes, I loved it! Would I recommend it? You bet, and I am but only for adult readers since it does contain explicit language, sex, and graphic violence. Quinn is one scary dude who is accustomed to always getting his way, but he still made my little old heart go pitty-pat! But FYI, I hope you don’t have a weak stomach because Quinn is determined to exact his revenge on the men who harmed his Bloodmate and believe me, it isn’t pretty. Quinn is a fierce, bloodthirsty opponent who, as it turns out, actually does have a softer side. lol… But only for Amaya. This full-length novel is the ninth release of the collection but the third contribution by Michaels and, like all the other books of the collection, can be read as standalone. Was it perfect? No, but it was perfect for me! There were a few little boo-boos, but nothing that distracted from the story. Wil I read this author again? Of course! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! I was glued to my seat, white-knuckling my ereader, screaming at the top of my lungs, and shaking my fists in anger with my heart fluttering wildly in my chest as the pages flew as quickly as the time- and loved every single minute! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
Quinn Alexander lives in the Highlands and is an old and rich Vampire. He’s going to Hong Kong to launch his new app Scales of Sin. He’s hit with the Thirst before he leaves and has his friend and bodyguard Thorne scared. Never has Quinn been sick but Thorne keeps him supplied with blood even on the trip to Hong Kong. Once they arrive, the Thirst is getting worse. Jana Noskova, the second-in-command of the Directive, wants to see him. She asks him how he’s been feeling and he tells her what has been happening. She’s in Hong Kong to find out who has been finding and ransoming Bloodmates. There is a Bloodmate in Hong Kong and now she’s sure it’s Quinn’s Bloodmate since he’s suffering the Thirst. Now the race is on to find her, but she’s been kidnapped and Quinn is on the precipice of becoming insane. How is this going to end??
What a fast paced, action packed, emotional and humorous story this is. Another fantastic Vampire Thirst story and highly recommend it and the whole series!!
How The Mighty Quinn Falls!
You would think that after all he’s seen his fellow vampire friends go through he would know what was happening to him, but no not the mighty Quinn and have to travel to another continent to find out no less!
Quinn Alexander is beside himself, he has OCD for christ sake, so why is he behaving so wildly and sloppily? It’s a good thing he has his bodyguard & best friend Thorne by his side, or would probably jump off his jet crossing the Atlantic to Hong Kong. He can’t explain why he is feeling out of sorts until the person he least wants to see at a time like this, The Directive’s second Jana, let’s him on what he hasn’t been able to figure out.. He has The Thirst! To top it all off his Bloodmate has been kidnapped, it’s a good thing he has The Directive on his side this time, or Hong Kong would find it’s population dwindling. He’ll have a fight on his hands, but that doesn’t matter as he catches a glance of the glorious tigress Amaya.
God I love these vampires, the way the get all hot and bothered for their females, but so loving and sweet.
You never know when or who the thirst will strike. Quinn’s off to Hong Kong for business even though he’s been acting and feeling strange. When he’s there he finds a scent that he discovers is his bloodmate. Unfortunately bloodmates are disappearing and his is taken in front of him. Those who’ve done this had better watch out, Quinn is not a man who lets others take what’s his.
Another great read from this author! She does a great job with telling these stories of the Vampire’s Thirst with lots of action and heat. Can’t wait to read who gets their story next. Whomever it is, it’s bound to be great!
This series has me hooked! I absolutely loved Quinn’s story. The men are sexy and the women are fiesty. Its my favorite combination.
Quinn a ancient vampire is sick ..he doesn’t understand what is going on. On a business trip to Hong Kong he’s met with Jana the second in command for The Directive. She got news for him, he’s suffering from the Thirst and his Bloodmate is in Hong Kong and in trouble! It gets exciting from there cause connects with him but is taken away. Quinn learns to work with the Directive. Strong Vampire’s and stronger love is found.
Another great story and great characters.
You will fall in love with A.I Michaels books. From her sexy and exciting shifters. To her Stunning and sexy Vampires. Each story will keep you glued to their pages! As A.I Michaels is an amazing writer!
The Vampire Thirst hits a vampire, when it is time to find his bloodmate! He must find and claim her or he will go insane!

You will love this super exciting,funny,suspenseful,thrilling, and scorching hot. It is a Five Star plus story and series!
A.K. Micheal’s is one of my favorite authors and A Vampire’s Thirst is one of my favorite series so this was an extremely enjoyable read for me. Quinn and Amaya’s story is not only a great love story, but it’s also suspenseful and exciting. Both for the romance and the drama. Once again the Vampire’s Thirst has hit. This time we find out that there are “people” who have figured out that the Vampire’s Thirst keeps happening and have a witch to help them figure out who the bloodmates are so they can kidnap them and get a heft ransom for them. That’s what happens to Amaya. A Russian vampire kidnaps her and not only are Quinn and his team fighting to get her back, the Directive is fighting by their side to save Amaya. The Directive has figured out the plan to kidnap bloodmates, and they figure out Quinn’s is next on the hit list. They know that Quinn has the Vampire’s Thirst before he even realizes what’s going on. Although they save Amaya, it’s not over there. There will still be threats and attacks before it’s over. If you’ve never read an A.K. Michael’s book, I highly recommend starting. Same for the Vampire’s Thirst series. If you love the paranormal, especially vampire’s, you love the whole Vampire’s Thirst series. You won’t regret it.
Quinn has the thirst but he doesn’t realize it.
Awesome drama,action,characters and passion.
Quinn is a different vampire very up tight who has OCD .
Good story really liked Quinn.
Voluntarily reviewed.
The story of Quinn and Amaya is fantastic. A. K. Michaels is a wonderful storyteller. This story was based in Hong Kong Michaels describes the smalls and scenery as you are there. Quinn, an OCD ancient vampire has come down with the Thirst. He can’t believe he has a blood mate and with the Thirst growing, he needs to find her. Amaya is a shifter who has spent most of her life on the streets. She’s had bad men after her who want to blackmail her blood mate. Little do they know it’s Quinn Alexander and he won’t go down without a fight. Money means nothing to him but his blood mate means everything. You’ll have to read this book to understand the ins and outs of Quinn and Amaya’s meeting and mating. It’s well worth the read.
Another Slam Dunk
What Can I say, I just love Eva’s stories and they just keep getting better. Quinn was a wonderful roller-coaster ride that keeps you on the edge of your seat thru each page.
Your get to watch this usually strong man crumble as the thirst takes him over. I love it that he doesn’t find his blood mate right away and that it is action after action thru it all. Even once it gets her you think that everything is perfect until it’s not. You just never know what’s going on and it keeps you wondering.
The emotions really hit you towards the end and you can’t help but tear a little. I always love a good book cry.
Until Next Time…. Tabi
You would think being the 9th book in the Vampire’s Thirst that things would get stale but that is FAR from the truth! The story gets exciting, suspenseful and sexy as heck!! Quinn is the ultimate Alpha male losing control in the most inopportune situations and he is contacted because his “Bloodmate” is in danger. I couldn’t devour the pages fast enough to find out what happened next. I definitely recommend this book and for those requiring an HEA you will be very happy! Enjoy!!
DO not start this book before bed, you will be without sleep as it will compel you to read till the very end! This is the original story of a blood mate that is unpredictable entertaining story that is packed with some bloody scenes. But over all the drive to find his mate will keep the page turning even as you want to punch the directive in the face.
It is an amazing story!! You will not want to miss this great read!
This is Quinn and Amaya’s story . Quinn feels he has fallen from grace due to his illness . He has feed from many live hosts and has taken them every way he wanted and is not sure why . His bodyguard / best and most trusted friend Thorne has seen and protected him throughout everything and is worried himself for Q ! Quinn is so bad that he lost all that he has eaten but refuses to let anyone clean the mess except himself since he does not want anyone to know he is ill . Having to get ready to board a plane to Hong Kong , a place he despises , he just hopes he can keep it together without losing it all and end up on the Directive’s hit list ! While at the get together for their new game Jana comes to speak with him and now he is truly afraid that he will try to harm her ! And knowing that since she is second in command at the Directive that will mean his life is over . Jana suspects what is happening to him and needs his help to help himself at the same time . Both Quinn and Thorne are shocked by what she has to say and what she wants them to do . Meeting Amaya the first time has hit him hard and having to stand by and watch her being taken away is even worse ! I like the way that this story has a strong woman who does not give up and is willing to do what she must to keep her man safe ! This is well written and strongly recommended to all !!
Quinn may have it all but even this wealthy and ancient vampire is missing something…a mate!
Quinn doesn’t really trust anyone except Victor and Thorne, his trusty friend, sidekick and 2nd in command. He especially doesn’t trust the Directive. But Quinn is slowly loosing his vice like grip on himself. His urges are getting out of hand and nothing slakes his thirst, for blood or sex. When he has to go to Hong Kong on business he almost loses it on his jet!
But when Jana turns up and lets the cat out of the bag that his bloodmate is near and in danger, Quinn will tear the world apart to find her and keep her safe.
I thought that it was totally like a man to miss all the signs right in front of their face. I mean they’ve just been through Victor’s escapades and Quinn and Thorne are missing all the same cues *facepalm***
So bloodlust running rampant – check. Blackmailed by the Russian Mafia – check. Supernatural traffickers after your bloodmate – check. Directive flinging their weight about – check. Fabulous read in a superb series. Wunderbar!!!
Terigan is given his own private mission from his goddess. More than a little puzzled but always ready to do his job. He makes his way to meet with Dùghall the Master of the Guild of Dragon Warriors, in Scotland. He doesn’t know it yet, but this is a mission of a lifetime. A mission that will turn his whole world upside down….
Jaxon and Sidra are settling into there lives together. He had wanted to do the mission to Scotland, to go to his homeland. But can’t think of no better warrior to send than Terigan his right hand man. With Sidra expecting he needs to be close to home…
Lots of surprises in this book, that will have you turning page after page, to find out what happens next. Love these characters…Could just get lost in the world that A.K.Michaels has created. Can’t wait to read more of this amazing series
If you thought the other Thirst books were good then you are really in for a treat with this one.
I love the descriptive way the scenes are written allowing you to build the picture in your mind and feel the emotions of the characters.
Quinn’s losses of control are breath holding moments, Thank goodness for Thorne.
The storyline was intense, exciting and had an unexpected twist! And we get to meet the new team set up by the directive to deal with the bloodmates phenomenon, Mac and Delia seem to have an interesting connection, I sense a back story there ?
The styles of the different authors seem to fit really well together to create a talented group who with each and every book bring a new and exciting element to the series.
