The Vampire's Assistant: A Paranormal Vampire and Witch Women's Fiction Romance (The Vampires of Emberbury) Kindle Edition

by Eva Alton (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 331 ratings

Imagine finding out you are a witch... after thirty.
When Julia's husband dies, she thinks her life is over. And it might soon be, unless she accepts an enigmatic vampire's offer...

An empty grave. A magical world beneath a graveyard. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to find magic and love among the creatures of the night.

When Julia asks her deceased husband to take her with him, she doesn’t expect an answer. But when it’s vampires who hear her request, she’s given a choice: follow her husband to the hereafter... or become a witch and assist the undead. As Julia tries to solve the mystery of her husband's death, she will get to know Ludovic, a charming Italian vampire who pledged to never fall in love with a witch again.

The Vampire’s Assistant is a short paranormal witch and vampire romance with hints of mystery.

Praise for The Vampire's Assistant:

  • “It was fascinating to learn about both Julia and Francesca's history. I hadn't guessed that either of them had experienced so much.” (E. H., Goodreads reviewer)

    This is the first book I read in this series. I probably should have read book 1 first. When I read this novella, I was not satisfied with the ending. Thus the 4 star rating. I am reading the box set of books 1-4 now, and I am learning more about what happened to Julia after this novella ended. So far, I am very happy with the full length books in the series.

    For a novela length story, this did not feel like a stand alone, story but I cant tell what book it goes with. the pacing was slow and the romance was anticlimactic. Im used to novellas being fast paced and condensed but not a whole lot happened in the book. I got this ebook as part of a stuff your kindle day. Normally I buy the rest of a series when I'm hooked but I'm not going to continue or buy more by Alton. It wasnt bad, but not compelling.

    I enjoyed this novella. The plot is good. Julia and Ludovic are good characters. Julia works for vampires, discovers she's a witch and starts to use magic. There is also the mystery of Julia's husband's death. I wish this story were longer.

    If you have not read Stray Witch then you should.
    Vampires Assistant is a poignant companion piece that tells us how the vampires of Emberbury come by having humans with Witchy powers as assistants to care for their businesses and other needs during daylight hours. It is an interesting insight into the first of these assistants Julia a WWII widow who leaves behind a diary for Alba to read in The Stray Witch.
    Find out how Julia comes to be their assistant and how she fares in a den of vampires and what it means to her employers to have her living there.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 8, 2020

    The Vampire's Assistant is a novella that prequels The Vampires of Emberbury Book 1 ‘The Stray Witch' which is one of the first books that I reviewed for Bedside Book Review.This novella is written in the same light and easy way as 'The Stray Witch', it is a quick little story to read and absolutely can be read as a standalone book. However, be warned, if you pick up this book you will be completely drawn into Eva Alton's world of vampires and witches. Julia is a war widow who is stalked at her husband's 'empty' graveside, captured by vampires who reside in the Cloister at Emberbury and given a choice. Live and work for them, learn how to be a witch and master her magic or join her dead husband in the afterlife. Choosing to live Julia seeks answers to find out what happened to the body of her husband and in the process becomes enamored with one of the vampires that captured her in the first place.
    Ludovic is a dashing and charming Italian vampire who swore to never fall in love with a witch again. Will he follow his own vow? You must read the book to find out.
    I thoroughly enjoyed this novella and would have liked it to have been longer. I found the character of Julia to be fiesty and determined and was very sorry to see the end pages of the book. The chemistry that Eva creates between Julia and Ludovic is electric and really has the reader wanting more.
    I am very happy that the next book in the Vampires of Emberbury series is due out soon. I would highly recommend that if you haven't yet picked up one of Eva's books that you do so soon.
