Blurb/Summary:

Dr. Addison Hollister is a curvy Xeno-anthropologist who's thirsty for adventure...but what happens when she also acquires a thirst for blood and only her grumpy Kindred Protector can Quench it?

When Addie gets invited to a mysterious planet called Crimson Moon to observe their religious rituals, she jumps at the chance. Her grumpy Kindred protector, Drago, disapproves but Addie won’t listen. Of course, she starts to feel differently when she gets to Crimson Moon she finds out she’s supposed to participate in the ritual, which involves giant spiders and a cup full of poison. But by then it’s too late to back out.

Drago is a Drake Kindred with a Primal Drake inside. Since it can’t be tamed, he doesn’t dare to let it out. The problem is, the Drake has decided that Addison is their Fated Mate. Drago knows he can never claim her—he can only act as her Protector. But can he keep her safe from the deadly consequences of the Crimson Moon Choosing ceremony where she will soon be crowned the Queen of Night? And what happens when she develops a taste for blood and some urgent sexual cravings that must be satisfied?

*Author's Note--I will be straight up with you--this book is *slightly* shorter than the books I usually write. This month I had to have extensive dental work and I was also displaced from my house for a week and a half because of Hurricane Milton. So, not a fun month. However, writing To Quench Her Thirst took me away from a lot of the trauma and helped me forget the outside world. I hope it will do the same for you if you're going through a tough time. It may be a little shorter but it's got a great plot, a LOT of spice, and a very satisfying conclusion at least IMO. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
Hugs and Happy Reading,
Evangeline

Review:

Couple of interesting plot twists to the story and very appropriate for the Halloween season. Addison and Drago had been working together for a long time before the mission that changed everything for them. Their working and personal relationship was already established before readers meet them in To Quench Her Thirst.

This build-up of tension, between Addison and Drago, over time allowed the author to jump ahead in the romance department. This is a super spicy story with lots of chemistry.

To Quench Her Thirst has a solid plot and likable characters. I was drawn to the story because there is a dragon. The drake does not disappoint. If you like the Kindred series, then this a nice addition. I appreciated the follow up epilogue on the moon after they left the planet.

This is part of a series of books and some things are assumed the reader already knows. This story does not elaborate on background information as others in the series. To Quench Her Thirst is an enjoyable read that will probably have you wanting to check out Evangeline Anderson’s other stories.
