*******

Gabrielle:  Hi Liz, and thanks for having me here today to interview two of the main characters from my first two books in the Sons of Navarus series.  I want to welcome Vasilije from Blood Avenged and Saint from Blood Betrayed.

Vasilije:  Thanks, pet.  You know, I love doing these kinds of things with you.  Do you remember the one where the women all left those comments about where they could find me?  You have the most delicious friends, love.

Saint (turning with disgust toward Vasilije):  God, you're obnoxious.  Gabrielle, it's nice to see you again. 

Vasilije (turning his face toward Saint):  Gabrielle knows how I am.  You're just a stick in the mud.

Gabrielle:  Vasilije, please.  Saint isn't a stick in the mud.  He's just not as...well, he's just more a gentleman than you are.

Vasilije:  Stick.

Saint:  Thanks, Gabrielle.  Perhaps the Romanian should learn some manners. You'd think for how old he is that he would have picked some up along the way by now.

Gabrielle:  (winking at Saint):  Okay, enough.  You two promised you'd be nice while we're here. 

Saint:  We did.  So what can I do for you today, Gabrielle?

Gabrielle (turning toward Vasilije and smiling):  See?  I told you we'd have fun.  Saint, why don't you give us some info on who you are, and then Vasilije, you can let everyone know whatever you want about yourself.

Saint:  I'm called Saint, but my real name is Declan.  I was made vampire during a battle of the First World War in France.  My brother, Teagan, is one of Vasilije's vampires. And I'm one of the eight Sons of Navarus.

Gabrielle:  So you and Vasilije are sort of like brothers-in-law?  Or would it be like cousins?

Saint:  I wouldn't go that far.  Let's say we know each other for a long time. 

Vasilije:  Not going to mention anything about the criminal past, Saint?

Saint (smiling):  No.  If Gabrielle wants me to talk about that, she'll ask.

Gabrielle:  And Vasilije, for anyone who hasn't read Blood Avenged yet, why don't you let them know a little about you?

Vasilije:  My pleasure, pet.  I'm the son of a Romanian prince and a vampire since the late 1500s.  I have many vampires I've sired, and they're all very loyal to me. And I'm one of the Sons of Navarus too.

(Saint silently glares at Vasilije.)

Gabrielle:  Saint, you're obviously in very good shape.  I think most people think vampires are sickly looking creatures.

Saint:  You mean like the Romanian here?  I hope people understand that look is his choice, not a requirement of being a vampire.  I take care of myself. 

Gabrielle:  Vasilije, before you say it, I will.  Saint, he doesn't look sickly.  He's just not built like the brick outhouse you are.

Vasilije:  Thanks, pet, but Saint here can keep all those bulging muscles.  Have you ever seen what he has to do to look like this?  I saw him work out one time and nearly threw up.  It's the mark of a man who doesn't know where to spend his energy.

Saint:  Where should I spend it?

Vasilije:  On women, of course.  Why exercise when there are women to seduce?

Saint:  Aren't you with Sasa, now?  Hasn't that effectively put an end to your seducing?

Gabrielle:  Vasilije, you seem suddenly silent.  Something wrong?

Vasilije:  No, pet.  Saint's right.  I am with Sasa, but that doesn't change who I am.  I just seduce one woman now.  I still wouldn't spend my time in a gym for hours.

Saint:  As long as you don't mind having a body like that pale kid from Twilight, knock yourself out. I prefer a better look. 

Gabrielle:  Okay, let's move on.  How about I ask you both the same question and each of you answers it.  That will help readers know a little more about the both of you. First, what's it like being a vampire?

Vasilije:  Pure pleasure.  I can't imagine a better life. 

Saint:  It's not a bad life.

Gabrielle:  Okay, next.  What's most important to you?

Vasilije:  To enjoy everything life has to offer. What else is there?

Saint:  To protect the woman I love.

Gabrielle:  I don't think I could have asked a better question to show the difference between you two.  Okay, next question.  What's more important, the future or the past?

Vasilije:  The future. 

Saint:  The past. 

Gabrielle:  Interesting.  Okay.  Boxer briefs or tighty-whities?

Vasilije:  Pet, can you imagine me wearing tighty-whities?  Really?  I'm more a commando man.

Saint (grimacing):  Too much information from the Romanian. 

Gabrielle:  Well, Saint?

Saint:  Boxer briefs, but the thought of this one only having pants separate him and me creeps me out.

Gabrielle:  Moving on.  Redheads or blondes? 

Vasilije:  I prefer brunettes, but I haven't found a woman's hair color to be a big issue. I like them all.   

Saint:  Redheads.  I like a woman with some fire in her.

Gabrielle:  That wasn't always the case, Saint, was it?

Saint:  No, but a man can see the error in his ways.

Gabrielle:  Favorite food?

Vasilije:  Steak.  But not because it has blood in it.  That's lame.  I just like a good steak.

Saint:  Anything with pasta and vegetables. 

Gabrielle:  Favorite drink?

Vasilije:  As you know, Gabrielle, alcohol doesn't affect us like it affects humans, so we don't drink for any other reason than to enjoy the taste.  For me, scotch would be my favorite.

Saint:  Red wine. 

Gabrielle:  Is there anything that you two aren't night and day about?

Saint:  (turning toward Vasilije) We're on the same page about killing Archons.

Vasilije:  Saint's right.  For all our differences, I wouldn't want anyone else standing with me against the Archons.  All that working out comes in handy when you have to do battle with your enemy.

Gabrielle:  Vasilije, I think that's the nicest you've ever been toward Saint.  Is there anything else you want to tell readers?

Saint:  Stick around because things are going to get exciting. 

Vasilije:  At the risk of making this some kind of group hugfest, Saint's right.  Readers are going to love where you're taking this series. 

Gabrielle:  Thanks to both of you for sitting down with me today.  I appreciate it so much.  I'm going to leave everyone with this question:  If you could ask my two heroes anything, what would you like to know?  And thanks again to Liz!

Blood Avenged - Gabrielle Bisset - Review

Title: Blood Avenged, Book one in the Sons of Navarus

Author: Gabrielle Bisset

Format: Ebook provided by author for review

I am everything you desire.
I am vampire.


 Powerful and manipulative, Vasilije does as he pleases. A vampire beholden to no one, he takes what he desires, drinking deeply the pleasures this life has to offer.
 When one of his own is staked, Vasilije must travel to New Orleans to exact his revenge. There he meets Sasa, a beautiful woman who arouses him like no other has for centuries. Vasilije’s need for vengeance is equaled only by his passion for her, but what he finds in his revenge is just the beginning...

This story I had everything I want to see in a vampire story, it was fantastic.   This is the story of Vasilije, a vampire who is hundreds of years old.  In the society of vampires it is illegal to sire new vampires without the permission of your sire.  In fact, its impossible to do a lot of things without your sire’s permission.  That’s why Vasilije is different, he no longer has a sire.   With no sire left on this Earth, he is able to make his own decisions about everything.  And he decides he wants to sire many new vampires.  And he does!  It almost seems like he creates a new sire whenever he gets bored.  The story starts with him following Alex, who he has been drawn to for some time.  Finally the time comes and he is able to change Alex into an immortal.

What drama that brings! You’d think it’d be no big deal, I mean Vasilije is this big tough (and sexy!) vampire.  Except Alex was the boyfriend of someone from Vasilije’s past, which would probably be good information to have ahead of time!   And she is not exactly happy about his decision to change Alex.  Meet Tatiana.  Tatiana is… well, she’s a bitch.

In the revenge struggle between Tatiana and Vailije a young woman named Sasa comes into play.  I really liked her character for the passion she had, but some of her decisions were a bit lacking in general logic.  She gets herself involved in a battle between two vampires – not too smart!  Granted, she did it for the most unselfish of reasons, but you’ve got to know that it is not going to end in roses and sunshine (haha, when does a vampire tale ever end in sunshine??)  And that goes doubly so when you fall for one of the vampires.  Even so I found her to be likable  - even more so when she was with Vasilije, who was about as hot as can be!

Lets talk about the two of them together.  The sparks between Sasa and Vasilije are infuriating!  The chemistry was so great that I was eagerly waiting for more intimate scenes with them.   The down time was infuriating LOL.  Sasa is an empathy and Vasilije is a vampire whose every sense is heightened.  When they get together the words practically burn the page with the sensuality of it all.   And the feeding scenes, woooooooo boy!  They make me want to rush out and find Vasilije and just hope he picks me!  The man has definitely got some skill – a lot of skills!

So Sasa is working for Tatiana and then falls for Vasilije.  And he falls for her.  And I was so sad knowing that when the truth came out of this little secretive triangle, it would just break both of their hearts.  This takes everything that has happened and just shatters it and sets it on fire.  I want so badly for them to be together, but with a secret like this, how can you move forward?  *Sigh*.  I guess that is why you have to read the book, right? 

On top of it all, it turns out there is really something much bigger going on here than a revenge scheme between the two vampire rivals.  Something I totally did not see coming, but I am so excited for because it means there are definitely more books in this series!  The next book is about Saint, who just sounds about as intriguing as can be!  Look out for it in May, you won’t be disappointed!

Also, be sure to check back on May 15 for a great feature with Gabrielle herself! And then I will have another day to feature Gabrielle again on the 24th with a wonderful post about the next book in the Sons of Navarus series!
