The summer after college, Amelia Chase lands a coveted position as the personal assistant for the brilliant, yet reclusive, Grant Palmer. Grant’s aloof nature and obsessive-compulsive behavior leads Amelia to rethink her position until Grant steps in to rescue her during a bizarre kidnapping attempt. She soon realizes Grant is a man of many secrets, all hidden behind an elaborate façade of self-discipline and control.

Grant Palmer spends his days in an expensive suit and tie, funding charitable works for his family’s Foundation. His nights are reserved for patrolling the small city of Asheville and the bordering mountainside in an effort to protect residents from rogue vampires. Why? He has his own collection of kills to atone for from his own days as a rebellious, blood thirsty killer.

Amelia and Grant’s professional relationship turns personal, distracting Grant from his duties. As the number of victims rise, it becomes apparent that a predator in the hills of North Carolina has a vendetta against Grant. Aware of Grant’s increasing interest, possessing Amelia is one way for this killer to enact his twisted revenge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slow Burn Cliffhanger

I was in the mood for a vamp romance and this series has been sitting in my tbr for awhile. It’s a slow burn workplace romance. Very slow burn. This definitely had some Twilight feels to it. I loved the family aspect and there were bits of humor woven in. This book was clean romance. There was some vampiric darkness and violence. It is only part one in the saga and ends on a cliffhanger.

I have read several books by Angel Lawson and always enjoy them. They are written with a sense of humor and a plot captures the reader's imagination as it moves along on a definite path or destination, with interesting twists and turns along the way. Creature of Habit does not disappoint on either count.

Though Amelia Chase is serious about her first job, with her extreme attention to detail and sharp mind, she finds humor in odd situations. Which is good, because her new boss, Grant Palmer, is an odd one indeed. He's stand offish, rigid, inflexible, demanding, and often unreasonable. He's also exceptionally handsome, a bit of an enigma, and irritatingly intriguing. She's both drawn to him yet repelled. Which is also good, because Grant Palmer is no ordinary boss. Or human.

Grant Palmer, it seems, feels the same about Amelia - inexplicably drawn to her yet repelled by her at the same time. She awakens a hunger in him that he is so used to carefully controlling, but also a hunger in him that he has never known. But he can't think about that for long, or at least that's what he's telling himself, because he's a very busy man. He may run the Palmer Foundation by day, but he's got far darker issues to contend with at night. A serial killer is on the loose in Asheville, and it is Grant's sworn personal mission to protect what is his - his territory, and now, possibly, the woman who has captured his attention like no one has before.

Book One is a perfect build up in action, danger, and the beginnings of a possible romance. Amelia becomes unwittingly trapped in the serial killer's game with Grant, and you are left to wonder who or what will survive. Can't wait for Book Two!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Slow-Building Vampire Story
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016

When Amelia, fresh out college, lands a job with the rich and attractive Grant Palmer, she had no idea what she was getting herself into.

Grant Palmer, enticed by his new personal assistant, attempts to solely focus on the evil at play – the recent increase of missing young women. But, when he realizes that his feelings are a bit more than what he expected, can he control himself? Will he be able to find the criminal at the same time?

Without a doubt, I simply enjoyed this read. The characters, both the main ones and the supporting ones were likable (except the ‘villain’ of the story, of course), the plot was well thought-out, and the author’s writing style flowed very nicely.

Due to this being a vampire-based book, there were some similarities in the traits we typically see in vampire reads/movies. However, Ms. Lawson was able to put her own say when coming up with the storyline itself. I loved how she cleverly had Amelia and Grant attracted to each other, but not necessarily ‘fall in love’ right away. This relationship was slow-building, and the talk about trust and honestly came up often.

Overall, I thought this was a great break from reading some books that I have not enjoyed as much, and really was able to sit back and relax. I highly recommend this read to those who enjoy a good vampire read a slow-building relationship.

This book tells how people have different types of tribes, villages, and communities.

Whether Grant Palmer (a vampire) is a superhero like Batman, or a redemption seeker like Angel; his tribe, his family are in the service of helping humans.

Some vampires have come to respect the Palmer's territory and the council; some are rogue outcasts, seeking revenge, wreaking havoc, desiring domination!

Amelia Chase, is caught unawares in this raging war! Her natural lemony🍋 scent has put her on the predator's menu, and her life destined as a pawn of vicious vengeance!

Can't wait to read Book #2 "A Vampire's Curse" Creature of Habit!

For 16+, a paranormal mystery romance

Amelia Chase needs a job in the worst way. After graduation, she has to do something quickly if she wants to stay in Asheville. A recommendation from a professor lands her an interview with the prestigious Palmer Foundation as the Personal Assistant to Mr. Grant Palmer himself.

Grant Palmer is known to be very particular and for rabidly guarding his privacy. That’s nothing that Amelia can’t handle but what she can’t handle is how she feels when she actually meets Mr. Palmer in the flesh.

Not only is he rude, abrupt and absolutely gorgeous – He also heats her blood more than any man she has ever encountered. But Grant is protecting a monumental secret – He’s really a 115-year-old vampire.

The scent of Amelia’s blood makes Grant want to lose his iron control. He wants her in ways that scares even him. And now there’s an unseen danger lurking just beyond the mountains that is trying to draw him out – and they are going to use Amelia to do it.

Angel Lawson has penned one of the sweetest of paranormal romances in Creature of Habit. Her characters are equally awkward and complex while her story moves at vampiric speed to keep me devouring every page.

I’ll just be here hanging out in Grant’s closet waiting anxiously for book two…

I very much liked the action in this book and I wanted to see the conclusion the one thing that I don't like is when it continues on in another book. It is one of my pet peeves and I really hate it. If you are going to tell a story, tell it in one story.

I can't wait until the rest of the series is released. Grant Palmer is dark, broody and wonderfully awkward. Amelia Chase is strong and sassy without being annoying. This book would make a amazing movie.

There is a joy to reading this story which I never want to lose, no matter how many times I read it, whether it is the OCDness of the main character, the amusement of others at his situation and his total unawareness of the strangeness of his behaviour. Throw in a smart, curious if not a little bemused personal assistant... Just stop here and pay attention, you are not about to read a total porn without plot shitstorm, thankfully the author and her characters have a lot more morals and control than that.

Yes, it is based on the fic but I noted that while it retains the feel of that fic (thank goodness) there has been a lot of rewriting done, scenes inserted, etc and it generally flows better. No lazy search and replace, quick fix job. I genuinely had mixed feeling when I heard this was going to be published, I am thankful Angel has not managed to feck it up.

Thank you Angel Lawson for publishing Creature of Habit and therefore giving me an opportunity to read it. It's one of those books you have trouble putting down and before you know it you've finished. The slow burn of growing friendship, mystery and drama are all contained within the pages and now I'm about to start book two in the series as I'm so not ready for this story to end.

A nicely different story about vampires and those who wish they weren't vampires. And of course the vampire becomes a vigilante, helping those in need.

OCD in a vampire is quite amusing to read about and of course, when she starts work Amelia is very naive and rather innocent and doesn't quite understand what her employer is and what she has really let herself in for. Just a "reclusive, obsessive-compulsive, vintage-clothes-wearing and special diet eating boss". Who she totally mis-reads.

The Predator is rather a good nickname for the enemy too.

Will appeal to the YA audience.
