Review: Mile High with a Vampire

Mile High with a Vampire by Lynsay Sands
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a fast reading, hot and sexy vampire 'romance.

I adore Lynsay Sands early vampire novels and all of her historicals. The earlier novels relied more on comedy; for instance, The Accidental Vampire or Single White Vampire. These are the types of books that started this series. Now, I know that no long-running series can rely on only certain tropes and remain fresh and popular, but I have to say that the last few books I've read rely more on sex and violence than anything else. If that is your thing, the darker aspect of vampire romance, then you are going to adore this book.

Mile High With a Vampire starts quite strong; very exciting and stays that way for a certain amount of time, then because we are immediately thrust into sexual situations. I won't tell you why because that would be a spoiler. But you will figure it out soon enough; believe me, it's obvious.

Something that bothers me is that we start with certain characters that seemed to be playing important roles -and then we never hear about them again. That seemed to be a bit of inadvertently unfinished business and annoyed me a bit.

Also, I'm not sure if I missed a book or not, but we never truly get the full story on Quinns' change -the why's of it. Did I miss a book?


I think that I really need to step back from reading my comfort Argeneau books if I am going to continue this series. That or I need to drop at least 20 years! LOL!

SYNOPSIS: "In the latest Argeneau novel from New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands, an immortal and her mortal pilot are on the run from hungry vampires...and discover they’re life mates along the way. 

Jet Lassiter likes being a pilot for Argeneau Inc. Perks included travelling to exotic locations and meeting interesting people, even if they are the blood-sucking kind. He’s living the good life, until his plane goes down in the mountains and four of his passengers are gravely injured. They need blood to heal... and Jet is the only source.

Quinn Peters never wanted to be immortal. Once a renowned heart surgeon, she was turned against her will and now she has to drink blood to survive. Before she can ask how her “life” can get any worse, she’s in a plane crash. One of the few survivors, Quinn is desperate to get the mortal pilot to safety before her fellow immortals succumb to their blood lust and drain Jet dry.

But hungry vampires are the least of their worries—the crash wasn’t an accident, and someone is trying to kill Quinn. Will she and Jet find their happily ever after as life mates, or will her assassin find her first?"
