Life Sucks
Bridget Jones meets The Vampire Diaries in this funny and fast-paced urban fantasy romance.
Merrewyn Colt has been seventeen and stuck at home with her parents for the last seven years, ever since a family day trip left her with a severe case of vampirism.
Her online blog is the only risk-free way for her to interact with the world, but a disruption to her blood supply forces her from the safety of her home. At first, it seems like a blessing in disguise as she reconnects with a face from the past. But as they grow increasingly close, a series of ‘unusual’ deaths threatens to derail their relationship, and her online following is only too quick to peg her as the killer.
Finding the real culprit is the only way to stop the murders, and more importantly, prove her innocence to her followers. But the truth might just cost her more than her online popularity.
Social media can be murder.

My thoughts…
This is a unique way of presenting a Vampire story! Ryn’s story unfolds in a blog post’s entries. She bravely outs herself on the net and retells how she became what she is, sharing day‑to‑day struggles, family dramas, and her pitiful love life.
No wonder her audience grows with each entry because her life is never boring. Discoveries, betrayals, and escalating tension keep the narrative moving!
Reading her posts is fun. She often leaves entries on cliffhangers that make the reader, me included, eager for the next update. Thankfully, we’re reading a book, which means the ability to fast‑forward to the dates she finally posts on her blog, so we don’t have to wait, unlike in the real world, when you follow a blogger.
The first book covers Ryn’s life while she’s still living with her parents, and the title Life Sucks fits. She loses nearly all her freedom after being turned. Initially, the cliffhangers had me guessing who might be dead and who the villain could be, and the betrayal reveal is a solid plot twist.
Through it all, Ryn struggles with bloodlust right up to the end, and I’m left wondering how she’ll manage university life. I hope she doesn’t gain instant, miraculous control after all the struggle in this book, because that would feel cheap.
Overall, the blog format gives the story immediacy and personality, and Ryn’s story, which never dulls, makes the story addictive. I’m curious to see how her life changes once she leaves the nest in the next book.
Love Bites
Ryn is back.
And for a hot minute life no longer sucks. She has a boyfriend, a blood supply, and she and her brother, Glen, are starting afresh at university.
But as Glen struggles to come to terms with recent events, Ryn has an unexpected encounter with her not-so-new lecturer.
Add to that her sneaking suspicion that she is not the only vampire enrolled at the university, and this one seems more interested in bloodlines than deadlines.
Never mind surviving university life, at this rate, Ryn might not even survive Fresher’s Week.
My thoughts…
Following the betrayal in the previous book, Merrewyn (Ryn) and her brother Glen move away from home and keep their distance from their mother. They’re about to begin university life, and Noah drops by to visit them every now and then.
Honestly, I was disappointed by how suddenly Ryn gains near‑miraculous control over her bloodlust. After spending the first book living under her parents’ roof and fearing she might lose control, she now attends classes and socialises with no visible struggle.
That said, the drama continues in this second instalment. Revelations about her sire and the dark history between Noah and Fin keep the plot engaging.
One plot point that didn’t sit right with me is that Noah knows Ryn has a blog, and as her boyfriend, wouldn’t he naturally read it? If he did, he should have known about Fin and everything that transpired, especially since the blog tracks her latest developments. If her sire read it, it’s odd that Noah wouldn’t be equally intrigued.
The book ends with Ryn behaving much as her mother did, which raises interesting questions for the next instalment. Will she reconcile with her mother? How will Noah cope with a life he never wanted? Is Fin still a possibility for Ryn? And what about her deranged sire?
Lost Souls
The hunt is on.
Ryn is desperately trying to come to terms with her recent decisions. In the fallout from the previous explosive events, she finds solace in not one, but two unlikely sources.
Unfortunately, no sooner has she started to rediscover a semblance of normality than she finds herself in the crosshairs of a mysterious vampire hunter.
Can Ryn save herself and those she loves? Or will her immortality bear a fatal price?
My thoughts…
If you enjoy light reading, uncomplicated dramas, and easy-to-read paranormal romance, grab this trilogy. The author’s unique, one-of-a-kind storytelling format hooks you from the first page and keeps you turning pages until the end. Along the way, you’ll be entertained by plot twists and kept guessing how the story will unfold.
Personally, I wished the story had explored the broader vampire world—the politics, history, and the hunters. But the focus stays tightly on Ryn and her circle: romance, university life, family, and the complications with her sire. There’s only a little action with the hunter, which keeps the plot a little bit interesting.
However, I do love the idea of Ryn’s blog and would have enjoyed an actual in‑universe blog set up by the author for the first book! That would be cool!
At the end of this book, Ella Stone mentions Bad Blood, a short story about Collina’s life before she met Ryn. I couldn’t access it through the newsletter, probably because it was an older promo, and currently, she is giving away the Dark Creatures novellas.
But I did find a short piece titled “NO BIG DEAL” on her Facebook page. Overall, this trilogy was an enjoyable, easy read that I’d recommend to fans of light paranormal romance.
