4 Smooches
Synopsis
To touch a Dark One is death.
To talk to an immortal is suicide.
Yet, I’ve been marked by both.
A Vampire.
And the King of the immortals.
My life is no longer my own.
And now I know the truth, my life was never mine to begin with.
It was theirs.
It’s always been theirs.
Review
‘I wanted to touch him. I wanted to taste him. It was more than just being near him – I wanted everything about him to consume me until I wasn’t even me anymore.’
As hesitant as I was to jump into this new paranormal series from Rachel Van Dyken I can honestly say it stole my day and I cannot wait for more from the series. With a cast of characters that will surprise and amuse you this was a book that was literally impossible to stop reading. I quickly became attached to both Ethan and Genesis and while I spent most of this book worried I was encountering a love triangle what I got was a epic story of two people destined for each other.
“Only when your need is so great for him that you’ve forgotten yourself completely. That’s when you whisper his name.”
Genesis has always known of the immortals and what her role to them would be if her number was called. Only when the time comes she quickly finds out that she actually knows nothing and everything about the life she has lived and the one she thought was meant for her has changed. Trapped between the affections of a vampire and a dark one, Genesis is confused and scared but in the midst of a brewing war she learns of her own strength and finally finds a way to let go to her hearts desire.
‘I learned something in that instant.
He was a jerk.
No, he was a selfish ass.
But I missed him.
And I hated both him and myself because he’d turned away, and I needed him to be close.’
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book and cast of characters. The crew of immortals was so captivating that I on edge waiting to get each of their stories. I will say for a good point of the book I noticed many similarities to her novel Elite, book one in her mafia series. While still very different, I personally saw many similarities not only in the feel and mannerisms of the characters but in the details of the story. In no way was this a bad thing nor was this a retelling of the same story just that at times I got slightly distracted by this. Still I would recommend this book to all romance and paranormal lovers as well of those who love the Eagle Elite series as I do.
