[ARC Review] Mile High with a Vampire by Lynsay Sands
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In Mile High with a Vampire, Quinn has been an immortal for four years but has spent every minute of that time withdrawn and refusing to accept who, and what, she has become.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.
