Book Blurb:
What was supposed to be a lustful night of passion and sinful, sexual thrill turned bloody in a way he could never have imagined, revealing a predator that plagued the night and feasted on the living...Fuelled by the bleakest of hope and the haunting images of the past, Conner cleaves a path of retribution through the midnight world of vampires; dangling his morals and life in the balance to retain what little he has left of his former self, praying each step will bring him closer to finding ‘her’ and the one that took everything from him...
My Review: 5 stars *****
I was given an ARC for an honest review. Does contain spoilers!
Normally this book isn't my cup of tea, but wow this book was really good. Erotica written in general is pretty hard but for a man to write it so well is a huge feat. It is a story about love so deep that the hero will do anything to save his wife even if it means he is marking his soul.
It starts with Conner sitting in a dark and dank motel room, two women on the bed naked and passed out. He is sitting there and waiting for the enemy to show up. Keeping watch and laying in wait, he sits and smokes... Noises in the hall catch his attention. Suddenly the door slams open and a big vampire is standing in the door screaming at Conner. Conner shoots once. The vampire stumbles and realizes his not healing instantly. Conner shoots two more bullets. Vampire stumbles and yells at Conner. Conner asks who sent him and the vampire wouldn't cooperate with him so he shoots to kill. After killing the vampire, he checks the girls to see if they are now freed from the spell. One girl was, which means the other girl is still being mind controlled by vampires.
He takes both girls back home with him. The one still under vampire possession, he locks in a cell in his basement, the one who is now back to her self, he puts her in the spare room. His brother William comes in and helps him out. As they are in the study, discussing Williams headaches. He suffers from serious migraines and Conner goes to some great lengths to get his medication. They also discuss how the entire night was a set up because the vampire that came through the door at the motel knew his name... so it comes to figure he was sent by HER.
Next thing we find out is Conner is married to a woman named Grace. On their 5yr wedding anniversary they decide it is time to be a little adventurous. So they decide to hire someone and have a threesome all night. As they all have their pleasure and they think it was all done, Mandy, the girl they hired for the night, opens the door and turns out she invites someone in. It turns out she invited in a vampire. This vampire sucks Grace almost dry then gives her some of his blood. Said he is taking something from her since he pushed the girl they had intimacies with and she hit her head on a night stand and died instantly. After the vamp left, he picked up his wife and ran to the car. Getting her home, he put her in bed and he sat by her side and he fell asleep. He woke and looked around, Grace was no longer in bed, he got up and went to search for her. He looked in their sons room and his room was empty except for a trail of blood. Conner went across the hall and checked his daughters room, his son was in a heap on the floor dead and drained of blood, he looks up and his wife is hunched over the bed with their daughter in her hands, drinking her lifeblood and killing her. Conner screams at Grace to stop and she drinks their daughter dry.
All of a sudden, Conner is awoken by a loud scream. He remembers where he is and figures its Kasey screaming. He goes to check on her and figures out she was kidnapped at her car and she thinks it was Conner who did it. As he loosens the restraints, she gets loose and runs. He heard the front door open and shut. then he heard it open and shut again. He looks up and in front of him Kasey is standing with the paper in her hand. She was taken in the middle of June and now it is August and she doesn't remember anything of what happened over the last 2 months.
So these two make a team and go hunt vampires together. Conner looking for one woman. His wife. He ends up working for a sadistic warlock and doing errands for him so he can get the meds his brother needs for his cancer and to find his vampire wife.
Once he finds his wife, he locks her in a cell in the basement. Somehow William frees her and she turns him making him a vampire as well and his cancer is gone. Conner comes home and finds his wife is free and his brother is missing. He ends up killing his wife and her brother kills her maker. William burns the house down so that no one finds anything...
Then Conner is looking for a pendant and Icarus the Warlock....
This book is really good and definitely not my normal but I really liked it and I know I will be reading it again!!!
