Into The Light

by 

Katherine Hastings 

All he wanted was her blood... then her whole heart started coming with it.

Broke. That's what I was after my husband ran off with another woman. Not just my heart, either. My bank account took the hit, too. Thanks to the debt he left behind, I struggled to get by while I pieced my life back together. Until I'm made an offer I can't refuse.

Five million dollars, and all I have to give is five years of my life as a blood donor – to a vampire.

It was supposed to be a business transaction. Simple. Easy. He gets my blood; I get his money.

I should have known better.

I wasn't the only one broken. Except, the truth was, with him around... I didn't feel broken anymore. When the truth comes to life, when there are more than just two options, we both have a choice to make. He can either join me in the light, or I can embrace the darkness.

My Review

Escapism is what's needed at the moment and this book delivers just that!

Emelia is skint, left in debt by her ex, when she gets an offer she would struggle to turn down.

Could you be someone's dinner for a few years for 5 million? Well If I could live in the lap of luxury I would definitely consider it.

Aiden is guarded as a character to begin with but once Emelia is in his home he warms up a treat, and he knows how to celebrate a birthday.

The attraction between Emelia and Aiden happens quickly and develops into a love story that you will want to devour.

I can't forget Mark, Aidens right-hand man, his a full-on character himself and very entertaining

This is a great story, I wasn't sure how it was going to end, but can say I'm happy with the outcome!

Here's the Blurb:

He vowed to never love again, but now his undead heart is beating…

She finds it hard to keep living; is he her salvation?

Since his turning, Caleb lives in his remote country estate with a  skeleton staff. His beloved rose garden occupies his time; a tribute to  his past lost love, along with a sharp reminder that the thorns that  would scratch a human leave no lasting mark on a vampire.

Artist  Vivienne dreams of a garden and a stranger, feeling compelled to sketch  roses over and over. When the name Tetburn Manor whispers on the edge  of waking, she finds the house and gardens that match her dreams and  sets off to sketch them, wondering if the house can lift her constant  melancholia.

Caleb watches Vivienne as she herself blooms while  she paints his garden standing outside of his estate. Should he listen  to his heart and let her in?

MY REVIEW

Roses and Tetburn Manor are dominating Vivienne's dreams. 

Caleb is a vamp, he's happy with his lot in life/death, until one day his body does something abnormal.

It appears that fate is pulling these two together. 

This was a quick read, but nonetheless an enjoyable PNR book.

Prey (Marko Delacroix #1) by Alaska Angelini - Review

Prey

(Marko Delacroix #1)

by Alaska Angelini 

There are things that exist that cannot be explained or comprehended. Creatures so terrifying that the human mind refuses to believe the possibility of existence. Romanticism of evil can only get you so far—dead.

The stories are there throughout history. The proof is not. At least…until now.

We’re here, moving amongst the shadows. Living beneath the homes and streets you believe are safe. You are not safe. You never were. All the times you looked over your shoulder because you felt you were being watched—hunted—you were.

I am Marko Delacroix and I am not redeemable. None of us are. I am a Master Vampire and the worst kind of man there is alive or dead. I will make you fear me, want me, and then then I will kill you. It is the nature of who we are. Of the game. And yes, to us, this IS a game.

Man versus the undead. The undead versus ourselves.

In a new world of change and acceptance, no one is safe. But they don’t know that yet.

**WARNING** This book/series is DARK. If you're looking for a happily ever after from the first book, this book is NOT for you. Although there are romantic elements building for further into the series, you will not be swept off your feet by the last sentence. You will most likely be left open-mouthed, cursing me to hell and back.

**WARNING #2: This book contains adult content, very graphic violence, disturbing situations, and very strong language. Intended for mature audiences

MY REVIEW

I needed a vampire read and this one delivered. I loved the pull/push between Marco and Tessa, it was hate then it wasn't, then was again?

Marco is a master vampire and decided Tessa is his new plaything/dinner. Little does he know Tessa is stronger and more intriguing than he thought and things get messy, but she still has to die eventually.

Hunter, Tessa's best friend tries to intervene between the two, knowing Tessa's life is in danger but it made me worry for his life.

This is no fluffy vampire romance, it really is a darker read but well worth it.

I didn't check out how many books were in the series and there are 5! I shall read on, I have no choice after the ending and I just hope the other books keep me as desperate to get to the next page.

4.5 stars

Series

I have finished this series and it kept me compelled to keep reading all the way through.  If I share my reviews of books 2-5 it would spoil the journey!  I loved its darkness and twists and turns.  The relationships are constantly tested and changed but the connection between Tessa and Marko is something you can't get enough of.  It truly is a dark and delicious series!

New Release and Review - Zane: The Reckoning (Flames of Vampire Passion Book 4) by Elaine Barris

Zane: The Reckoning (Flames of Vampire Passion Book 4)

by 

Elaine Barris

Blurb

London: 

If I could tell Zane two things, they would be: “Don’t try to save me. I love you too much to lose you.” 

I’ve been abducted by the Elder who is mentally torturing me. Night after night, he’s trying to break my mind as he proves to me he’s more powerful than Zane. He’s done an excellent job so far. I’ve never been so frightened in my life. He’s holding Decrees, making me watch and forcing me to participate in murdering vampires who are as old as, or older than, Zane! How is that even possible? 

Whatever the cost, Zane cannot try to rescue me! 

Zane: 

No matter the danger, I’m coming for London like a devastating storm, and I couldn’t care less who gets hit by the bolts of my violent fury. Friend or foe, once I set loose, death is going to be waiting for anyone standing between me and London. 

I have no idea who they are, but I swear, I’ll kill them for what they’ve done to her. 

Whatever it takes, I’m bringing her back where she belongs… with me. 

Zane, The Reckoning, Flames of Vampire Passion Series, Book Four, is packed with steaming, wickedly hot scenes of vivid intimacy, laugh out loud humor, and heartfelt connection of real emotion between Zane and London. 

This is a work of fiction and is meant for an adult audience over 18. 

M/F, language, violence, HEA

My Review

Zane and London are back in an explosive and emotional book.

I have read all the Zane books, so I'm invested in this pair, London and Zane are great together. This book takes us deeper into the couple, the storyline is excellent, encompassing all the elements you need for an erotic romance novel, but this part is more than romance the danger is evident.

Louise the mother in law from hell has a big part in this book, and you may just see a new side to her!

I would say you should read in order, which you should to get the most from series but the author covers some backstory, so you could read alone.

I loved this book.

Review - Gunner (A Vampire's Thirst #10) by Elaine Barris

Gunner (A Vampire's Thirst #10)

by Elaine Barris

A Vampire’s Thirst! Dark, Dangerous, and Undeniable! 

Sentenced to 500 years in prison for a rash of murders he didn’t commit, Gunner is granted a miracle: a month of freedom to prove his innocence. 

Though desperate to find evidence to clear his good name, his plans go awry when he’s struck by a Thirst he can’t quench soon after scenting the sweet ambrosia of his Bloodmate. 

With an underlying strength that shows through her gentleness, Imogen is the perfect balance to Gunner’s world of blood, bullets, and incriminations. Her connection to him is immediate, passionate, and full of promise. 

Catastrophe strikes when Imogen is abducted, sending Gunner into the throes of the debilitating and insatiable Thirst which renders him incapable of controlling his craving for blood. 

With so many lives on the line, the stakes have never been higher. 

Will Gunner rescue Imogen in time, or will the Thirst drive him to insanity... and ultimately to his death? 

The hunt is on! The battle fierce! Only the strong survive A Vampire’s Thirst!

MY REVIEW

I loved this vampire book. 

When we're first introduced to Gunner the vamp, his in a predicament and there seems no way out. Luckily he has a friend who believes in him

Lee and Imogens characters are quite light to begin with and draw you into their happy friendship. 

Imogen is human, who's best mate happens to be a shifter, and his an alpha at that, not your normal alpha type but his fab. Lee thinks of Imogen as his extra sister, they're both about to have their lives take a turn, for the better but not before some angst!

As the story evolves and Imogen and Gunner finally meet, we see the struggle and discomfort of finding your blood mate. There is pleasure in the mating too, and Gunner is well educated in how to please his woman.

I found Gunner to be very pleasant and most definitely vamp book boyfriend material.

5 vampy stars from me
