I love this series so much! Can’t wait for book 3 to find out what they plan for the ball!
did not disappoint
Love this author. She writes tongue in cheek, yet manages to insert profound moments for her main characters. Unlike some others, she doesn’t have her characters repeat the same old mistakes over and over and over again. They learn and grow in a realistic way. More please!!!!
Kind of pissed
If I found out that mom and dad know what was happening to me and didn't tell me or train me to protect myself. And made me think I was lacking or not worthy. I would feel very betrayed.
Worth it...so worth it!
I have, admittedly, been eagerly waiting for this one ever since I read the previous book. I'm not someone who'd had been much into vampire books. Fortunately, the author featured the beginning of the first book in the Lowrance Vampires at the end of one of her other books. And I was hooked! Book 1 was an excellent read...it captured me with its good characters, plotting and story lines. Silent Stalker has taken everything about the first one I liked, and then just took it to places I would not have predicted! So looking forward to where this goes next!!!
More Lowrance Vampires please!
The author managed to surprise me a couple of times and made me laugh others. I really enjoy this interpretation of vampires and Emerick and Pepper's relationship has been fun to watch evolve over the first two books and I'm excited to see how they grow together in the future. Over all I really enjoyed this sequel to Blood Bound and look forward to the next installment in the series.
Holy twists and turns!
I’ve been eagerly waiting for this book since I first read (then re-read a few times) Blood Bound. I was not disappointed, in fact Silent Stalker exceeded my expectations. The plot twists, turns, and unexpected developments literally start from page 1 and keep coming. I didn’t want to stop reading, and have already started re-reading to really savor the book and pick up on things I missed in my first rush through. I love the characters and their interactions, and the dialogue - oh, the snark and humor, even in difficult situations. Books this good, worthy of re-reading, don’t come along every day, and I really appreciate it when one does. The next book will be a doozy, I’m really looking forward to it!
engaging
As with all of her books. I enjoyed this one tremendously. Pepper is truly fun to follow. But I have to admit Clarke really captured my attention. I highly recommend this series and this author
Loved this book!
I’ve read Blood Bound multiple times and I love the world that is created so I was very eager to read Silent Stalker. This book started with a twist and they just kept coming. Prior to reading this book I could have never anticipated where this story would go, but it was entertaining and there are some really comedic parts that kept some of the darker themes from feeling too dark. I have read a majority of the books written by this author under this name and I am really enjoying the world she is creating in these stories. Now I will probably reread the first 2 books in this series a couple of times while patiently waiting for the next one.
Excellent
As usual an excellent addition to my R.j.Blain collection. So far I've enjoyed everything she has written. Like with the other authors I enjoy I wish she'd write faster. I understand though she's a human with a life& needs to sleep. So I patiently await the next book. Bravo Ma'am
Pepper is definitely one of my favorite leading ladies!
This book has been a delightful twist on the way one can perceive things based on the information you have. Reading the first book, you immerse yourself in the story. Reading this one, with its plot twists, and you go "Wow! That makes sense!". Delightful way of looking at things from a different perspective, that just adds depth to the characters and the story ( Because real life is full of plot twists!). Bravo, RJ! Get another wonderful story for me to read over and over again.

Stunning Second
Whether the plot is wacky or more closely traditional urban fantasy, I love me some RJ Blain. The Lowrance series is the latter. Ms. Blain's gift for world building remains awesome but this installment, we get a bit of 'everything you know is a lie' as well. A great amount of appeal to me is that while scenes of action do appear and are important, realistic as possible due to the genre conversation is what drives most of the story. It is very good and entertaining conversation as well. I look forward to hopefully many more stories of this brood.
Wonderful
So many twists and turns,completely unexpected. It is so fantastic, something new on every psge. The first book was fantastic and finding out there was going to be a second book was a marvelous thing. Even better is finding out there will be a third book. I'm so excited, this world should never end - I know it will have to at some point. But until then I will read Silent Stalker several more times now. Then re-read the pair periodically until I receive book 3, which I will pre-order as soon as I can. If you don't read this series, you are seriously missing out on some amazing books.
Even better, trust me buy it
The lore and world blossoms in this second installment. So much is developed, loving detail, and so many complicated emotions. For someone going through familial revelations myself, I needed what Pepper was going through and the way RJ does it is just a master class.
Stakes!
Strong female character, old and wise supporting crew. Interesting twists to motivations, enough to keep glued to the read! Love this authors tales!
Loved this book, wonderful second in the series, plot twists I was not expecting.
I was unable to put this book down, it was released in the pm, I dropped the book twice before I gave up to go to sleep. I loved the 1st book, which follows a female unexpectedly turned into a vampire, she has issues with how strict her father is (as well as other issues)...but not everything is what it seems. I was not expecting this plot twist at all. Looking forward to the next book. This is one of the books that escaped the authors timeline of only two books, now the wait to see what happens.
So good!
I loved this book. I can not wait for the next one. I have read a multiple of series from R.j.Blain now and love them all for different reasons Thanks so much for writing them. .
Excellent second book in thecseries
There is a lot to like about this book. As with all of the author's books, it is well written, great world building, consistent adherence to her worlds rules, and good characters. Many times I've been disappointed with a middle book in a series that is weaker in plot and character development than the initial book but that did not happen here. The plot turns were frequent and unexpected, keeping my interest hooked. And the characters, both primary and secondary, continued to develop and grow from the initial book. Overall, a really good read.
The Adventure Continues
Was I thrilled when in realized past self had preordered this book and it magically appeared on my kindle? You bet your butt I was! R.J. picks up right where things left off in book one and takes you on an ever more intriguing journey of story and character development. The bonds of family, friends, and romance are expounded upon with the anticipated wit and humor that makes all of these books so fantastic. I’m not even bothered that we are left with still more questions to answer in the next book!
Why did it end?
Madam author. How dare you be human and have to stop the words from appearing on the page?! Ruthless and unscrupulous. Jkjk. But really, I was very happy to see there's at least one more book coming out. I love this series. So much. I can't give my full thoughts without spoilers, but I'm excited to see how book 3 goes for all characters. This was creative, unexpected, and I'm about to nurse a book hangover like none other. I'm not sure if I love you or severely dislike you right now...
Wonderful Series continuation
I love Pepper and Emerick individually and together. I did not see the twist with Pepper’s father coming and did not expect to understand why he did what he did and decide he wasn’t such a bad guy after all. As always with a book by R.J. Blain, there are great friendships and loving relationships throughout and plenty of action and intrigue. I read this book in one sitting and can’t wait for the next book in the series.
RJ Blain is so versatile
I love this series. Yes, I love all her series. This is a good storyteller. I want book 3 now! Pepper and Emeric are good protagonists. They are likable and believable. I am disappointed that Daddy dearest is no longer a baddie. Definitely buy this. It’s a great read.
A fresh breath.
I very much enjoy R.J. Blain's books. Some have become increasingly wordy or political though. I seriously enjoy Pepper & Emmerick. Their adventures have been fun while working through trauma in interesting ways. I am excited to see how Pepper grows in her Stake carving. The relationships that grow in this book are multifaceted and yet everything together kept the book light and fun. Thank you for your work Blain.
Intriguing plot twist
I like the plot twist that i never saw coming. Great job! Now i will be rereading first one with different eyes. An entertaining days read. Still leaving mystery for final book to resolve yet ended in a good spot. Leaves you wanting more without dreading the wait.
An Intriguing Sequel
I really enjoyed the world building and the characters introduced in Blood Bound. I have loved even more, the twists and turns introduced in this book, and ravenously look forward to the next one. I would highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys vampires, fantasies, and/or snarky but lovable main characters.
Loved it!
I thoroughly enjoyed this sequel. It continues the previous story arc with some unexpected twists thrown in. We got to see some great character growth, and had a few new characters introduced. Looking forward to the next book.
Couldnt wait, can't wait
Being patient for this book was challenging as I thoroughly enjoyed the first installment. Now I have to wait again *pout* for the next. I glad Pepper gets answers and the answers were better than I could dream.
Not your standard vampire romance
I love this story. How often do you find a male protagonist encouraging his love to be as intelligent and dangerous as she wants to be? The story of Pepper and Emerick will not disappoint!
Unusual vampire book
Loved the second Lowrance Vampires book. Definitely unusual vampires, as we saw in the first book. Emerick and Pepper are a really fun vampire couple, glad they finally quit dancing around each other. Looking forward to the next one!
Fantastic Installment!
Pepper is back and sissier than ever! If you think you know what's coming, you really don't. Also, please be sure to read the author's note at the end. It is important and easy to overlook when you're being told the book is done.
Fun book with unexpected twists
This is the sequel to Blood Bound; Silent Stalker continues Pepper Lowrance's story. I recommend reading them in order. Silent Stalker was a very enjoyable read with plot twists that went in completely unexpected directions. Highly recommend.
Loved this book!
This is the second book in this series and it is just as wonderful as the first. I really enjoyed twists and turns, sometimes you can see plot twists coming but I didn't anticipate these. I highly recommend this book.
ohhh, plot twist!
I had been waiting for Silent Stalker with bated breath and once again, RJ has not failed to impress! A continuation of Pepper’s journey into vampirehood, the intrigue is thick and the revelations satisfying. Well worth the wait…
Silent Stalker is full of laughs! And delight's !
This is the second in the series but you don't need to have read the first to enjoy this one. You will catch on faster if you read the first one. OK just to comment, the ongoing puns are just plain fun! And there will be more to the series! Who knew vampires were so much fun?
Great read
I enjoy all the books this author writes. Silent Stalker is the 2nd book in a series and I look forward to the next one. I like how she wrapped up this book so I'm not her hanging.
Excellent
I very much enjoyed Blood Bound, so I was excited to get the second installment. It contains a twist that I NEVER would have expected. I am difficult to surprise, so that was an added delight. As ever, I am pleased about the amount of thought and care that went into this novel and the complexity of the characters.
One of my favorites
This sequel is a bit lighter than the first but does it pack a punch when it comes to all the twists and turns. I love it !! The world building is impeccable, the weaving of multiple storylines together while closing or giving answers to others is breathtaking. I can’t wait until the next one.
I savored every moment
I have been waiting for this book and just like Penny and Emerick, I tortured myself by going slow. It was worth the wait and I eagerly await the next installment.
Cuddle puddle
I fell in love at the phrase "cuddle puddle". Pepper's continued story line made me love her and her brood master even more. The twist was so satisfying and now I want my own cuddle puddle!
Exceptional
Love an intelligent, sensible, humorist Vampire tale? You have just picked the correct book.......the heroine and her hero will make you smile and very happy you decided to go on their journey with them. Book 3 quickly please
Great Book
A fun and enjoyable read.
Where is book 3?!!!!
I wasn't sure at first, preferring my and to vampires, however, I simply love R.J. Brain so....while waiting on more of her other books to be set free...I decided to go Blood Bound and Silent Stalker. LOVED them both!!! But now I'm a little bummed I have to wait for Book 3. Grrrrr.
Excellent entry to the series
Love RJ Blain’s stories, and this is no exception. Her hero is strong without taking away from the heroine’s strength. The humor is fun, and the future is looking good.
loved 2nd book and want third soon!!!
As usual, RJ Blain didn’t disappoint with her newest book. Wasn’t expecting the twists that occurred and was happily surprised. Can’t wait for the next installment of this series!!!
I need the next one!!!
I could not put it down it captivates from beginning to end just like the first one. I cannot wait to read the next one.
Love the low dance Vampires series!
Who am I kidding, I've enjoyed all of R.J. Blank books and am enjoying the books under her other names.so The books make me laugh, keep my interest and are frankly so enjoyable and well written. Amazon, this Author is a prize!!!!
Just love it!
I love the sarcasm, the laughter, the bets, murdering miscreants, villains and misunderstood villains, it all just makes a fun book can't wait for the next one.
A book I'll read many times.
So much happens in these stories that I can read them again and see things I missed the first time. To me the best stories are the ones you can read again and again with true enjoyment. The author delivers another of those with this book. Can't wait for another installment.
a long awaited great read
I love the dive into the current circumstances of these characters as well as the past explanations described for clarification. This is a great read and I recommend this to all who enjoy vampires. I will be rereading this several times and waiting for the next installment.
outstanding
I love RJ. Pepper is strong and able to carry her own but still able to learn. Her male characters expect the women to hold their own!.
bit of a flip and fun
More stakes! New characters! And looking back with new knowledge brings some interesting revelations. Want more really soon. Please? With sugar on top!
WOW!
I did not see this coming! Loved this book and can't wait for the next one! Keep up the good work. I love all your books.
Loved it!
I really enjoyed the first one but this one was better! So many questions answered. Still more questions but I won't die waiting 😁. I love this author she provides books for every mood. Just buy it you won't be sorry.
I love this heroine
I thoroughly enjoyed following Pepper on her journey's next chapter. I will (im)patiently wait for the next Lowrance Vampire book and then devour it as quickly as this one. Thank you RJ Blain and may the trolls rot in a stinky sewer somewhere.
The plot twists
Everything that was established in the first book has to be reexamined as we learn more in this fascinating venture into the world of vampires. Wonderful world building, great plotting and fascinating characters make this a great read.
Can't Wait for Number Three
Any R J Blain novel (except for one) never fails to be a great read for me. Plenty of plot, character development (this has a big character surprise) and witty amusing banter. Can't wait to read the third in this series.
Also fabulous!
This is the second book in Pepper and Emerick’s story, and it’s full of many surprises. Be prepared for twists after twists as we learn more of Pepper’s background and what happened to her and what impact it has on their lives today.
Loved it
I just loved this book. I am bad as I pretty much finished it in one night. I will read it again as I am sure I will find jewels in the story that I missed the first time. I eagerly await the next book.
love love love
Absolutely 100% worth the wait! Will look forward to more! Will be added to the first in my reread pile!
Great book!
My mind is blown with the unexpected twist in the book! Much more was revealed about the vampire world. And I can’t wait for the next book!
The wait was worth it!
Very satisfying. RJ Blain is a consummate storyteller and Pepper intrigued me from the start; now we learn more about her and why she carves such potent stakes. Looking forward to enjoying the next story in this series when it releases!
Great Book
Can’t wait for the next installment, to see more secrets revealed, and meet her brothers.Looking forward to the wedding ball.
10/10
Was not expecting the twist this took and am looking forward to the next book! RJ Blain sucks me in yet again.
Kick Ass Heroine. What more do you need?
I love R. J. Blain's books. I could write volumes on why she's so good. My favorites: the dialogue is smooth, the humor is actually funny (not forced), the characters are great. Looking forward to Pepper's ball!
Twists and Turns
Was eagerly awaiting this book, and sat down to read and was gobsmacked! Didn't see the story unfolding that way, and wow, I can't wait for the third book
Another great one!
Another great entry in the author's oeuvre and a fun second in this series.
Excellent addition
Love this book. Some intriguing twists and turns. Another winner from R J Blain. If you haven't read her other books, please do.
Another great book!!!
I Loved this!!!! Can't wait for the next one whenever it comes out. R.J. you are the best author ever
Very entertaining!
I enjoyed the first book immensely, and I enjoyed this one just as much.
Still enjoying...!
It's the end of a second book and I'm still enjoying getting acquainted with these characters. I look forward to their future adventures and the unexpected twists their story takes.
What a twist!
I adore RJ Blain and loved Silent Stalker! I thought I knew where the plot was going until BAM! Plot twist I didn’t see coming. Highly recommend!
I love Pepper!
I'm really enjoying how her character is developing and how feisty she is. And, I really enjoyed the plot twists. Can't wait for the next one.
I shall not be silent
The best vampire novel I have read by far, surpassing even the first book in the series. I loved learning more about our Pepper and old and new characters alike.
Loved this book
I loved the beginning, the ending and everything in between. There were some big surprises, that I loved. I can't wait for the next one.
Excellent continuation!
Loved all the twists, turns and revelations - they explained so much! Also loved watching Pepper settle into her new life! Looking forward to her next adventures!
Great read
If you liked the first book or really anything by RJ Blain you will love this one. Warning you will find twists and turns!
Awesome sequel
I really enjoy reading this book and all the twists and turns, cant wait for the ball, its going to be a blast.
Amazing book
This book is a fantastic read, the plot is intriguing and the characters are complex and become even more so as the story goes on. I highly recommend it.
This is a great book
I love that she is carving stakes it’s cool 😎
absolutely amazing
This book was amazing!! I loved being drawn into the story of how everything went and all started! I can’t wait for the next story goes!
Excellent
As usual RJ delivers a great book to read. Its funny and surprising in many areas. I hope many enjoy it as I have.
Fantastic
Love this story...so much was unexpected but great discoveries..surprises..humor..friendships and love...very enjoyable read....good ending and good lead into another story..
Great 2nd book in the series
Looking forward to the next book. Had many surprises and twists. Can't wait to see where it goes next. A favorite
Love it, can’t wait for them next!
Second book in the series and I loved it, will be rereading it again and again
great book
Answer a lot of questions and bring deeper understanding of the story line. Can’t wait on the next book. Blast
another winner for Ms. Blain
A wonderful follow up book with lots of humor and spark. Looking forward to the next book. Love her books
Awesome 2nd book
This is a continuation of Pepper's first book, Blood Bound. There's a few plot twists, but it's all worth it!
Interesting
Plot twist I did not expect. Good book and continued character development. Wanted more on hunt for "original" vampire sire.
Can't wait for the next one!
Loved Pepper and Emerick and can't wait for more!
The plot rolls on slightly
After reading I feel like I just have read a primer on how vampires work in this world. There were maybe three instances of action, which have not much new information about the villain. In face there is no resolution here. On the other hand we have an over abundance of banter, off interludes that aren't necessary and a random character insert that just doesn't really fit. I got so bored reading I stopped three times to read other books rather than slog on through more talking. Unending non-stop banter. I am pretty much done with this author.
Great sequel!
I loved this book! I could spend time writing about the plot, the humor, the characters, the concept behind the book, but I think a lot of reviewers have touched on those things already. I just wanted to say that I find RJ's books to be entertaining and thoughtful. If you enjoyed the first Lowrance Vampires book, you will love this.
An excellent continuation of this series!!!
This book continues Pepper Lowrance’s story and is an awesome story! The twists are surprising and believable, and I was enthralled the whole way through.
The story continues
R.J. Blain does it again. I love the character development and how the story forces you to take a closer look at characters that at first you dislike. Definitely a book I’ll read multiple times.
Classic RJ Blain
Writing was mostly entertaining and engaging. Twist and turns and Pepper is a strong lead that has carried through from the first book. I'll be watching for the next one to be released.
I can't wait for the next one
I loved this continuation of the Lowrance Vampires series. I am just so sad that it is over and I have to wait (somewhat) patiently for the next one.
Good follow up book to blood bound
If you enjoyed blood bound, you will enjoy this book. You really should read Blood bound first. A bit if a mystery of vampires being kidnapped and starved which is not solved but will obvious be left to book 3. You do find out a lot more about vampire society and Pepper's father. I would agree that book 2 is a placeholder for book 3 but that said, I still enjoyed it (hence 4 star and not 5 star)
Thank you so much for book 2 (and hopefully book 3)
Wow. A twist in the story line I somehow didn't expect. Although I read book 1 again to refresh my memory. It was basically a beginning to end read - while eating - and showering - thanks to waterproof kindle and thankfully no work. The characters are even more developed. I love the sass in penny and the absolute confidence of Emerick in his let's say maleness that it is absolutely no problem to leave the female out hunting. Seldom I read a book with so much equality. thanks a lot. Absolutely worth reading and can't wait for book 3.
another instalment gem in Pepper’s story
Plenty of cameo moments to treasure and unexpected twists in the tale to leave you wanting more. As always a joy to read. I have no idea if there are any typos as for me the story world painting is all and once started I couldn’t put it down.
Fun
This, second in the Lowrance Vampires series, is yet another excellent book from author RJ Blain. Following the further antics of Pepper and Emerick, it delivers all the fun and shenanigans I love about the author's books, together with a heck of a plot twist that I didn't see coming. Absolutely, thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend.
Well written but dull
As always this author writes well, good world and character building. The book is dialogue heavy, to the extent that it's tempting to skim large tracts as after a while cutesy riffs between the main couple get a bit repetitive. But nothing much happens in this book. Mostly it deals with the backstory of the heroine, bringing out the detail that she was unaware of at the time. It doesn't really move things forward. It feels a bit like a placeholder for the next book in the series.
Fantastic!
I adore Pepper more than I realistically should but honestly she’s such an interesting character. RJ Blaine has created a wonderfully intricate world once again and seeing Pepper move around and own her new life brings me such joy.
Great second book in the series
I enjoyed the first book and I have to say that this is even better! Unanticipated plot twists , cute characters, funny bits....what's not to love? Roll on book 3 😊
Another great book
Another great book from this writer. I love her books. Very easy read. Looking forward to the next one
Great Book
So good. And i was surprised how the story turned out.
Excellent follow up
Read in one sitting. A really interesting twist from book one. Ready for book 3!🤭
very enjoyable sequel to Blood Bound
some surprises, some twists & turns, and as always, great characters in the book. Can’t wait for the next in the series!
