Blog Tour/Review: This Time Tomorrow by Tessa Bailey
SYNOPSIS:
Roksana, heiress to the vampire slayer throne, has performance anxiety.
She’s supposed to kill Elias, but so far she’s only succeeded in maxing out his credit card. Now her failure to stake the brooding vampire has sent her back to Moscow in disgrace to face her mother’s wrath. Expecting punishment by death, she’s given a rare reprieve. She now has three tasks to complete, the last of which is to finally kill Elias. She will not fail this time.
If only the memories of one magical evening—back when Elias was human, would stop holding her back. He claims to have forgotten that night. Why can’t she? Three years ago, Elias was a SWAT team member on a guy’s weekend in Vegas. Playing poker and minding his own business, his life changed forever when a captivating blonde strolled past his table in a light-up bra. He followed Roksana as if compelled, his very bones demanding he do so, his soul resonating with the belief she would be important to him. Always. That turned out to be a vast understatement—and nothing has changed.
Roksana embarks on her mission, determined to win back her mother’s approval, but when an astonishing truth emerges in the eleventh hour, will her stake pierce the very heart that beats in her honor? Or will love triumph over duty?
REVIEW:
*Book Received in Exchange for Honest Opinion/Review*
This was pure paranormal romance goodness with an added layer of sizzling hot sex that I have come to expect from Tessa Bailey. The tension and animosity between Roksana and Elias was palpable but as you start to peel back the layers on these two, nothing was as it seemed. Cue the plot twists.
So the story is a mix of of present day and past events and who knew that Elias and Roksana had such a complex history together. But at times this history seemed far too much for them to overcome. As truths are revealed, it seems as if Elias and Roksana acknowledge using hate to mask the love they have for one another. And when these two finally cave to their undeniable chemistry…*fans self* Some scorching hot sexy times are in store for the vampire and his slayer.
You get glimpses of Ginny and Jonas from book one and a peak into book three’s story line, which will be all about Tucker. Who if I am honest stole the show with his rash decisions, bubbling personality, and endless humor. The plot and lore had drawn me in, I love learning more about the complex world of vampire slayers, the added mystery of fae, and just the who concept of true mates for vampires.
The paranormal aspects are on point for this book. But Tessa has really set up a lot of plot twists and I am concerned with how this is going to all play out. AKA don’t let any harm come to these sweet precious babies! There is a vampire civil war coming and I am 98% sure mass chaos is about to be unleashed.

Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the workforce as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.
