Celebration for the Dead
Witches Knot 5
Vampire Hunter Minx Rodriguez decides to mix a little business with pleasure when she heads to Mexico to celebrate El Dia de los Muertos. She's hot on the trail of the vampire who not only took her hostage and tortured her but also killed her friends and family.
Connor Bell finds himself in love with a Vampire Hunter who's skipped town without notice — much like he did to her just two weeks before. He heads to Mexico to find her and make things right.
Even as they work through their problems and plan a feast to celebrate the lives of those they've lost to the Oathbreakers, the threat remains. A Hunter's job is never done and there's a job to do in Mexico. The question remains as to whether Minx and Connor can survive what'll be asked of them both.

I found the whole series of Witches Knot somewhat disappointing after having read the Cascadia series. The stories were good in themselves but the books are greatly diminished by too many seemingly unnecessary sex scenes. It gets to the point where the sex is interrupting the story rather than adding to it. Not only that, but there is so much sex, all fully described to the smallest detail, that it all feels mechanical rather than passionate.

“I’m here because there’s something between us, Melanie. More than just a casual evening of sex and blood.” [Connor]
Sex talk not creative and too often repetitive [as with most of her other books, women are described as having a "gate" in their pussies]:
"She was open and wet— his—and he could not get enough. A handful of her sweet ass filled each hand as he held her wide and served himself of [sic] her pussy."
"Avoiding her clit until she’d come down from her first orgasm, he fucked into her gate with his tongue."
"Every once in a while he nudged her clit with his nose to gauge her readiness and it wasn’t until she sighed and arched instead of jerking back that he knew it was time to make her come again."

. . . . . A woman beloved by a man who gave her life, even as he believed she might hate him for it. That was love. That was selflessness and she was the luckiest woman alive. . . . . Melanie and Connor working together to rid the world of the oathbreakers. Tragedy strikes and Connor has to make a choice. . . . Awesome story!!!!

After slogging through numerous books today, this is the first one that actually had an interesting story arc that I could sink my teeth into (pardon the pun).

This novella is all about the sex. Hot sex, like every 5 minutes. Not that there's anything wrong with that. And a bit of plot, wrapping up the last of the perils surrounding the extended family of the Charvez witches.

I was a bit disappointed to discover this was a novella rather than a book, but for a novella it was fine.
It's been nearly a year since I read Vengeance Due, which I guess must be where Melanie/Minx and Connor met, and so though I rememeber her I don't remember him at all and had no idea who he was until Lee and Aidan showed up. That probably messes up any emotional impact of the two reuniting, but it was still hot, and a certain story arc gets finished.

We've read about Connor and Minx before but in this book we see them after their relationship has started and has been through some bumps.
Connor though is now ready to persue minx and have her and minx is all for it.
We also get to see what goes down with Perdue finally!

The worst in the series so far, but I still loved it! I just think it needed more depth.

The story was alright, it seems up to par with the rest of the series.

I sincerely feel like I'm missing a few chapters or a short story or something. The book seemed to start midway through the conflict.
