*Review first published at Just A Reader review blog*Alabaster Nights by Elle J Rossi is the first novella in the Josie Hawk Chronicles although it was published after Crimson Beat, which was originally published in the Celtic Tapestry anthology but is now available as a stand alone e-book.
I adore Huntress Josie Hawk and vampire Keller - I mean really, who doesn't love a guy with an Irish accent?? - and their relationship is fascinating. So I was very excited when Elle decided to write a novella showing how Josie and Keller first met and give us a glimpse into Keller's mind.
Josie is my favorite kind of female character - she's tough, she's sarcastic, she's smart, but she's also kind and protective of those she sees as hers, in this case all the humans in Nashville. In Alabaster Nights, Josie isn't sure what to make of Keller even as he falls hard and fast for her. The dichotomy of the two characters thoughts is compelling and makes for a fun read.
After reading Crimson Beat, I had a lot of questions about Keller but many of them are answered in Alabaster Nights. Seeing his struggle with the darkness inside him and his reaction to Josie show why he does what he does in Crimson Beat.
If you enjoy the Kate Daniels series, I highly recommend the Josie Hawk Chronicles. I suggest reading Alabaster Nights and then Crimson Beat despite the publication order.

Alabaster Nights A Josie Hawk Companion Novella The Josie Hawk Chronicles Volume 1 Elle J Rossi 9781496198792 Books Reviews
ALABASTER NIGHTS is a short but fantastic introduction to Ms. Rossi’s characters Josie and Keller of The Josie Hawk Chronicles and tells the story of how they initially met. Told by alternate POVs, we get a feel for the hero and heroine’s distinct personalities through Ms. Rossi’s great character development. I’m not always a fan of dual narratives (this book includes third and first person), but in this instance it worked for me. Elle’s down to earth writing style captured my attention from beginning to end.
When Vampire Keller O’Leary travels to Nashville Tennessee to visit his sister Sage, he never expected to encounter Josie Hawk, his mate. To complicate things, Josie is his sister’s best friend who also happens to be a huntress. When she’s not singing at Sage’s bar, Josie protects the inhabitants of Nashville from the dangers of rogue supernaturals. She’s independent, kick ass and not looking for a relationship. If he wants to woo this feisty huntress, Keller must suppress his predatory urges and take things slow which proves to be a challenge, even for an immortal who has nothing but time.
I adore a heroine that can hold her own next to an alpha hero and Josie is that girl! She’s strong, outspoken and guarded, but not in a jaded sort of way. I love her confidence and quick comebacks, especially when it comes to Keller…she had me in stitches when she nicknamed him Irish! Keller is used to having women fall at his feet but in Josie he finds a challenge and ultimately an equal, it was great to see his frustrations when she didn’t throw herself at him, even when he played up the charm. Although he knows Josie is his mate, Keller decides to keep his distance and gain her trust before she can accept their destiny. Their attraction is evident from their first encounter, but I love that even though they have great chemistry Josie has some reservations about Keller creating some extra tension when they team up against some dangerous warlocks and demons. I really enjoyed their witty banter and watching them slowly come together in this novella. Keller’s sister and Josie’s BFF, Sage is just a supporting character in this story but she’s one character I’d like to see more of in future books.
Overall I found ALABASTER NIGHTS an engaging read with edgy characters, action, humor and a few plot twists that bring the story to life. It’s the perfect prequel for new readers and an excellent companion novella for fans of the series. Now that I’ve met Josie and Keller there’s no going back, I’ve got to go and read the rest of their adventures. Rossi’s paranormal world will delight and leave you wanting more!
*I received a complimentary copy of this book by the author, in exchange for an honest review.
Another winner from the pen of Elle J. Rossi! This author "gets" me and what I want in a story.. Have not been disappointed by any of her books.
I quite enjoyed this story line. I like that Jose is a strong character. I think that story would really progress in to a 5 star once I have read the next book.
In less than 24 hours I felt driven to finish this book. With each page I turned, I wanted more. Loved everything about this story... the characters, the setting, the pace, and their story! Going to purchase the rest of Elle J Rossi's books now!
Standard vampire meets his mate, insta-love ensues PNR. Not bad, but nothing special. Plus, it's a prequel to a series so it ends before the actual story really gets going.
This is apparently the intro to the Josie Hawk series. It was interesting enough, I would have liked a bit more of world building or references (where I can find more about this ) It has become usual for new authors to do this kind of novella to introduce a series, it just makes me a bit jaded, because I really don't know if I want to invest more money in a series if it will be book after short novella like book. Hopefully next book in this series will be full length (at least 250 pages)
