Mini Review--Until Dawn by Erin Kellison

A witch reality television show, a deadly curse, and a vampire on a mission—a perfect brew for love.

During the live end-of-season Tell All episode of the reality television show, Witching Wild, cast member Judith Kress opens fan mail expecting the usual personal questions, but gets cursed instead. Vampire Calvin Blake is charged with saving her life and discovering the source of the curse, but ends up in deeper trouble than he thought possible. Survival is going to be a dangerous affair until dawn.

I had a mix of things going on today that led me to pull up a novella, Until Dawn by Erin Kellison that gives us another glimpse at the Dragons of Bloodfire series! Though this time, we're following a vampire servant around rather than the dragon itself.

Lady Fane is an old and powerful dragon and a huge fan of the show Witching Wild. When she sees one of her favorite hosts, Judith, have her life threatened she sends her vampire servant, Calvin out to go protect her. Calvin of course does his lady's bidding willingly. 

Judith is a witch with a curse on her from another witch. If she can manage to stay alive until dawn, she will get to stay alive and Calvin is to be her protector in the remaining hours of the night. Naturally, there's a little bit of romance thrown into the mix but there's also a good deal of danger from curses to zombies to a vampire's hunger, there's plenty that might end up offing Judith before dawn!

Naturally with short little reads like this, there's never quite enough to satisfy the reader! We get a nice glimpse into the vampire side of things when it comes to working with dragons. It kind of made me miss my dragons that I've met before though we do get a glimpse of one of them however briefly! 

It was a short and sweet read though I guess this is why short stories don't always work for me as I'm left craving more! Still a fun little read to the series!
