About this eBook

An enemies-to-lovers vampire romance by bestselling author S. B. Alexander

The hunted now becomes the predator.

I bit a vampire. I sunk my teeth right into his flesh and drew blood, and I liked it. Now, I’m craving blood as if I’m a creature of the night. I’m far from it. My family has been hunting bloodsuckers for centuries.

So it comes as a horrifying shock when my aunt catches me licking blood off a knife like its cake batter. Panicking, she calls someone who she thinks can help me. Little does she know that dangling me like a carrot to Sam Mason has consequences no one is prepared for, especially me.

I’m not ready to deal with the cocky Vampire Navy SEAL who rocked my world so hard, my brain is still recovering, and my body is still tingling.

But when I find the powerful Sam Mason and my aunt chatting like besties, my heart almost stops beating. If my uncle finds Sam on his property, he’ll burn him alive.

Little do I know it’s not my uncle I have to worry about. One of my sisters decides that I’m better off not falling for a bloodsucker. I assure her I’m not. But she knows me better than I know myself.

Now instead of killing vampires, I’m rushing to save one. I pray I can get there in time. Otherwise, my family will suffer a fate worse than death.

The Predator is an enemies-to-lovers, paranormal, military romance, and the second book in the new Vampire Navy SEAL spin-off series. Layla and Sam’s story is a slow burn romance with a feisty heroine, snarky banter, action, suspense, off-the-charts steamy times and ends on a cliffhanger. Layla and Sam’s story starts in The Hunted and should be read first.

Praise for The Predator:

“The Predator is pulse-pounding and riveting. A perfect combination of scandalous moments, action, and spice. I was on the edge of my seat anticipating each upcoming scene. Sam and Layla's chemistry is off the charts, and the story moved along flawlessly. I can't wait for the third book!” J.A. Owenby, International Bestselling Author

Ratings and reviews

The Predator by SB Alexander is an enemies-to-lovers paranormal romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Blake Lockheart and Cecily Foster. This is the second book in the Vampire Navy SEAL: Sam & Layla series. This is the second series of Susan's that I have read and it won't be my last. I am really enjoying the relationship between Sam and Layla. I liked that we got both of their points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life. The book ended on a great cliffhanger that left me begging for more. I can't wait for the next book The Union to be released on July 12, 2022. Blake and Cecily did a great job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to reading more of their work in the future. I would recommend this series if you like enemies-to-lovers romance, paranormal romances, military romances, slow burn romances, or romantic suspense. Audiobook Obsession Reviewer

This is part two of Sam and Layla’s story. I will start by saying that it does end in cliffhanger, which I dislike, but for this series it works. I am already waiting for the next book that comes out in July. Sam and Layla. Layla is a vampire Hunter. Sam is a vampire. Layla‘s whole family hates vampires even her sister has turned against Layla and has tried to kill Sam. Something huge happens with Layla, and new information about her mother comes to light, but I can’t tell you without spoiling the story. Sam has declared his love for Layla in both words and actions, however, Layla is reticent to return the words even though she has the feelings . We see more of Sam‘s family in this book with Jo and Webb and his dad Stephen. We also learn more about Sam‘s not so great childhood. I really enjoyed book one Hunted and I have enjoyed Predator. I am looking forward to book number three. If you like a high suspense love story and the supernatural, you will enjoy the series. I recommend it.

Intensity that leaves you ready to scream at the top of your lungs. The urge to rail at the villain, cheer for the hero and heroine, jump to your feet in anger and storm around the room. The cliffhanger ending to The Predator is going to leave you rushing for the next book, The Union. This is a quick paced read that had me rushing to flip the pages. I just had to know what was going to happen next with Sam and Layla. This is not your typical vampire or Navy SEAL read. Everything that you thought you knew about vampires is thrown out the window and a fresh new perspective is taken for this series. I'm not about to give up any secrets, they're too juicy and you have to read this for yourself!
