This is only the 3rd book I've read of Kenya's but she is one of those authors that I always look forward to reading her work. I save it for those Saturdays when I can really curl-up and enjoy the read. She did not disappoint. I love the way her mind works she takes the usual paranormal cast and turn them into her own playground of creativity.

Here we have The Quiet King, literally. He is deaf, blind and mute and has a harem of women with a rare blood type that is used for breeding.

In this story we follow Brie one of the dominas (that is what these women were called) that has escaped.

This story is not very long, about 120 or so pages, so I was able to read it in one sitting. It's a good story and I would love to see how it plays out. I LOVE good sex scenes (and they were some good steamy ones too) in my books but I will give just this one, itty-bitty, critique. This story had just the right amount of sex maybe one scene to many. I was just thinking that's enough for now and the story was ending. The story itself is good and I'm glad a balance was kept because I didn't want sex to take over the story.

Oh, and I almost forgot one cool thing that is new for me, sketches! I haven't seen this in any books yet that I can recall, but it was really cool to every now and again see the scenes the way the author see them.

Who the heck is Kenya Wright? I asked myself when I clicked on her email. Well, Kenya Wright seems to be an author to watch it turns out.
You know, not even a year ago I was safe and happy reading in my own little bubble with my comfortable authors I know and love never once wanting to break out and try an author no one’s never heard of, much less an author that self published. I have no idea why I was so tight laced about it. But never again! Yeah, there are some bad apples in the bunch, just like with everything but Escape was so far from only an ok read.
When I first glanced over the book, I was really disappointed that it was only about a hundred pages. I thought; ‘What the heck kind of story can be filled in that amount of time and still have a satisfactorily ending?’ Well, it was not a great ending since it turned out to be the first in a series, so the story will continue on into bk2. BUT, the story in between? S*@%T! One word. Explosive.
The sex was amazing! The plot was inventive. The characters were out of this world good; From the blind vampire king to the people who lived in the sewer; it was….really good. I loved the epilogue that was told by Samuel, the hero. Totally got you on the edge of your seat waiting for more from Kenya Wright. And oh I almost forgot! The illustrations in the book were something new, gave a whole new perspective on the story, a good one though. The pictures reminded me a lot of The Kama Sutra.

A bit pricey for the length. The story flows fast enough, but still many editing errors. I never really got a feel of what the characters looked like, other than Brie and her red hair.

What is it about vampire books that sucks me in every time? I'm sure I don't know, but this adult vampire romance was extremely entertaining. I do wish that it was longer. I'm getting tired of novellas that turn into series. I want to keep reading for heavens sake!
