Sins of the Undead Patriot review tour- Excerpt, Review & Giveaway

Hey everyone today I am taking part in the review tour for Sins of the Undead Patriot by a.c.Mason. I have info on the book and author, my review, an excerpt and a giveaway for you all.

SINS OF THE UNDEAD PATRIOT
By a.c. Mason

BLURB: 
To save the President, Vaihan must trust the woman who betrayed him.

Vaihan Louchian, Ancient Zombie and Special Advisor to the President, dabbles in contracts for Homeland Security in Washington DC, the only remaining demilitarized zone. His latest mission: to seduce delectable Leera Waltz so he can take down her boyfriend Rowley, leader of the anti-zombie terrorist movement. Vaihan and the President work the Bill of Undead Rights through the Senate, but terrorist attacks rise. The futures of the living and undead are in jeopardy, and Ms. Waltz is not all she seems. Vaihan can’t help being more interested in rescuing her than in his assignment. Any human female who’s willing to put up with the complications of lovemaking with him and his bouts of OCD is worth the hassle.

Vaihan is powerful, intelligent and kind. So not what Leera expected of an undead. When she’s forced to betray Vaihan, she knows he will never understand. She must return to Rowley, and slips deeper into the city’s dark underworld. Then Vaihan’s suspected in an assassination attempt against the President, and Leera has to find the courage to do what’s right and save him, or lose not only Vaihan and the leader of the free world, but her heart and soul.

WARNING: Questionable sexual situations that will disturb some readers, such as abuse, bondage and drug use. Graphic violence and sex, including taboo play. M/F. M/F/M. M/M. And the sexiest undead civil servant you’ll ever meet.

My Review
Vaihan Louchian is an ancient zombie and adviser to the President. He is given the task of taking down Rowley a man who is leader of the anti-zombie terrorist movement. The only way Vaihan can get close to Rowley is by seducing Leera Rowley's on and off girlfriend. This is a task he does not want to do because he hasn't been close to anyone in years. He soon begins to care more for Leera than his mission. Leera has a mission as well. To protect a family member she needs to date Vaihan and keep an eye on Rowley as well. She isn't quite over the death of her husband but does all she can to help her family. Vaihan soon works his way into her heart and she has to find away to keep him safe as well even when she has betrayed him. Several lives are on the line and Vaihan and Leera may be the key to saving them or destroying them. The past has a way of coming between them they will have to overcome them.

Vaihan isn't like most zombies you read about. He is just like a regular person except he doesn't die and eats things a normal person wouldn't. He is a hotty and generally cares for other people. He has a disadvantage as his fluids are poison to people. This doesn't take away from how great he is. I really liked this character. Rowley I have to say I wanted to kill myself. He is a user and does not care to hurt those he supposedly loves. Leera is harder for me to understand. I know she is in a hard place but this chick bounces around so much. She uses sleeping with people to escape her reality. I liked her and I didn't at the same time. Another character that I did like is Devin. Even if he has did bad stuff in the past it seems everyone abuses and uses this man. I really liked him maybe even more than Vaihan.

This book is very dark, daring, sexy and intriguing all rolled into one amazing package. I always love reading books about zombies and this one sure does rock. You never really know who is going to betray who and what will happen next. I got sucked into the dark world the author create and really didn't want to find my way out. The sex scenes range from sexy to scary at times but they aren't really all about the sex. In a way it lets you see different sides of the characters and just what all they are willing to do to get what they want. This is one book that will keep you guessing at just what will happen next. I for one can not wait till the next book comes out after the ending this one has I have to know what is going to happen next. This is a different world and it is a dark one so be warned before you pick this book up the warning you see is one you need to heed. I really enjoyed it and if you want a darker harsher book that is quite different than others pick this up.
4 out of 5 Stars


Excerpt
Temptation filled the dark lounge--half-clad human females danced in the center prancing for the zombies, who circled this evening’s “dishes.” Jaw clenched, Vaihan gripped his glass with a shaky hand. Sure, the government provided his kind cloned meat, but taste didn’t factor in. “I can’t believe it’s cloned human” was false advertising.

A petite blonde glanced his way for the third time and smiled. As she ground her hips to the rhythm of the music, her purple, skintight minidress hiked up her thighs.

He lifted the Lagavulin Scotch with an ounce of pureed organs mix to his lips and downed the contents to quiet the ache at the pit of his stomach. The smoky peat-and-metallic flavor of the dense liquid coated his tongue. Such concoctions helped keep the cravings at bay. However, the elixir only curbed the urge to taste flesh temporarily. The mouthwatering aroma of healthy humans permeated each breath, waking the “urge.”

He slammed his glass down on the bar and headed for the door. It wasn’t easy to be The Undead Poster Boy, when he too, struggled to keep his other needs caged.

The blonde stepped in his path. “Leaving?” Between the mounds of breasts, her cleavage was a deep gorge. She curled her lips upward on one side in what she likely hoped was a seductive smile.

“I’m stepping out a moment.” If she was legal, he’d guess barely. Not worth the risk. Not after every sacrifice he’d made the past thirty years.

“My place or yours?” Need beamed at him in her green eyes. Blue LED lights ran in tubes on the ceiling, flooding her youthful flesh. The bass of trance music thumped at the rate of a victim’s heartbeat when panic set in. An undead never tamed the predator inside.

“Neither.” Tonight she’d find a fix, but not from him. Others of his kind enjoyed toying with their food. He found such activities distasteful, so these types of clubs weren’t his scene. In the corner, a zombie licked a brunette’s neck and slid his hand up her skirt. Tasting the living didn’t hurt, but left an undead in a state much like blue balls. Her lips parted in a gasp as she rested her head on the wall behind her. An addict, no doubt.

“You sure?” The blonde leaned into Vaihan, pressing herself to his crotch.

Heat from her hip stroked his length, rousing suppressed need. He huffed. Maybe some were more easily swayed. He stepped back.

With wide eyes, she glanced up. “Holy Mother of God, and you’re not even hard.”

“Correct.” Clueless would understate her aptitude. The human females in this bar had no clue what they were getting themselves into. So many tasty treats were scattered about the room offering themselves up for a hit of Z-Luv, the neurotoxin zombies produced in their saliva, blood and semen, which paralyzed their victims in a state of pleasure until the feeding began. In this place, even the oldest of Ancient undead would suffer. Once a human was hooked, they spiraled out of control, losing their appeal. He enjoyed a more responsive lover in and out of bed rather than one half-baked out of her mind.Perhaps he should show her.

And voila, her distinct voice surfaced. Given her own diverse background, she writes stories that represent the world she grew up in. She enjoys delving into the realms of the unknown and blurring the caution lines. Her stories are the place where darkness meets human desire and fairytales endings are not promised but earned.

For the past nine years of her life, she has worked with one foot in the past spanning from 18th century, the Bering Strait theory to modern day and now late Victorian and WWII.
