The Book of the Fang (Vesik 17)
A vampire lord. A hidden coin. Ghosts from the past are coming for Sam.
With help from Zola, Cizin, and Vicky, Sam works to track down her old vampire lord, Vassili. While he’s been on the run for years, the team has uncovered clues of his whereabouts.The hunt takes them down the trail of an old Civil War raid where restless spirits stir. But not even the threat of the dark-touched will stop Sam from finding the last coin. Damian risked everything to save her, and no force on earth is powerful enough to prevent her from returning the favor—even if it costs her humanity.

Giggles and intrigue
I know I say this every time I read these novellas, but I love the side stories and the extra story lines with our supporting characters. The Fang refers to the vampire aspect of the Vesik series. We get to track down a fearsome old foe who I honestly thought was long gone, only to find out he is simply well hidden. He definitely gets a 10 out of 10 for his hiddey hole. We also find out how interconnected he is to so many of our characters throughout the ages. I do feel like we get to visit the more comical side of the Vesik world just for a bit. Something that has been a little more muted since Damien has been missing from front and center. I mean ancient vampires learning to take an Uber? Not to mention all the one liners about Franks famous fire jerky (“That garbage has more fires than the Burning Lands..."). A water witch that ends up with slobber inside her form. Asher always does a nice job mixing the dramatic with comedy but this one definitely had me giggling. The other thing I have been riveted by is how each of these novellas seem to have new and interesting creatures in them. I do hope the nigh behind gets to visit us again. It just seems too interesting to just leave in a single side story. Getting closer to the end of the longest cliffhanger ever. I honestly can't decide which side the ending is going to come down to.
Vesik 17
So, you came back for another one of my amazing reviews, I see! Well, let me be the first to congratulate you on your excellent taste in reviewers. Anywho, Book 17. Yeah, I just finished it & it. Was. Amazing!! These characters have such life & depth to them, that to not throw your money at the screen immediately & purchase every single one of the books in the Vesik series, is to deprive yourself of such awesomeness, as to bring about the end of the world! Seriously, Eric R. Asher can do no wrong, except to stop writing, which would cause the very Gods of the Blue Spider Monkeys to rise up & devour our very plane of existence! So, in short, go buy the books & then read them!
Vampires suck.
The penultimate story in the "Book of" series of the Vesik saga. This time the Vampires are featured along with other familiar characters and story development. Sam and the others are close to completing the steps to either save Damian or doom all of humanity. As if things aren't bad enough an old nemesis resurfaces and must be faced. Can Sam push past her desire for revenge to do the right thing? Can the group finish the quest set before them before time is up? The series is quickly winding up to a conclusion and you can't tell where Mr. Asher will take us next, but it's bound to be an enjoyable non-stop reading ride!
Eric R. Asher knows all the tricks to keep you on the edge of your seat.
You can almost hear the dramatic music playing in the background leading you up to the point where something is going to reach out and grab you. Then you slowly relax, when you see some kind of amazing discovery in front of you. Your heart and breathing slow as you are checking things out; and then BAM! Out of no where he has your heart leaping up into your throat AGAIN!!!! The Book of the Fang is definitely emotion and action packed! There are so many characters packed into this book, you don't want to skip it! I was given this book as an Advance Reader's Copy (ARC). I am voluntarily giving this review. After reading it, I prepurchased this book and received it on August 24, 2020.
Two thumbs up!
As with all the Vesik series, the energy starts on the first page and never stops. So many paranormal series are all the same, but with the Vesik series it is the characters that make me keep reading. Characters everyone can identify with…fae, vampire, human who is just going with the flow, mermaids, dragons, ghosts and ghost parrots, werewolves, mages, gods…and you will fall in love with them. I always enjoy tagging along with this sarcastic band of misfits while they try to save the world and cause “minimal” damage along the way.
Sam and Vicki kicking butt together
Not sure I need to say more than that. It was great to catch up with the vampire pit and follow them on an adventure. This is the last step before the end game, and Eric delivers by diving deeper in to this world of fantasy creatures. I really enjoy how the story weaves in and out of the allies as they fight on different fronts. The end of this book feels like the deep breath before the plunge. Looking so forward to the last book in the Books of the Dead and what is sure to be an epic battle.
treasures untold
Sam now chases Vassilli who holds the final coin for releasing Damien. the longstanding blood feud between the Pit and the ancient vampire will come to a head with the dark still chasing and Luna still eating cheeseballs. Eric has heightened the emotions immensely. adding a new and fantastic creature makes it even better. he has brought us to a place where there are many crossroads and we can only folks one. the others are but 'what if's'.
I'm a sucker for vampires.
This series just gets better and better. I love the dive into each person and their history in each book. It's great getting back story but it makes me crave more! Mr Asher could write these characters forever (I hope!) because of the history. Some of these characters are hundreds or thousands of years old. Imagine all the shenanigans they could get up to! Hopefully Mr Asher can.
Sam’s up
In the quest to save her brother Necromancer Damian Vesik, Sam is going after a lost coin that will help free him from the gravemakers he is trapped in. She’ll have to track down and confront the old leader of her vampire pit to confront him and obtain the coin after his deep betrayal of her and all her friends. Another great addition to the Vesik series. Definitely a must read.
The final lap is here
All the fighting, bleeding and chasing shadows are over. One more book and this whole enormous mess comes to a conclusion. Hopefully, it is a positive one, but you can never tell with Nude and his balls.
