Synopsis
A DANGEROUS ALLURE
Bestowed with eternal life by the Ancient Vasilios, Alasdair Kyriakous is one of the most feared and ruthless vampires in existence. His name carries weight across all of the seven continents.
But he is a mystery to his kind, an anomaly among the self-indulgent. While he enjoys the pleasures of the flesh, he is exceptionally particular in his choice of partners and prides himself on his ironclad self-control.
Yet with one look his control will become a thing of the past, and Alasdair will discover that eternal life doesn’t always last forever…
A DEADLY ATTRACTION
Thrust into a world he could never have imagined, Leo Chapel awakens in his worst nightmare. Taken hostage by the dangerously mesmerizing vampire, Alasdair, Leo must rely on his intelligence to escape before he reveals a secret he isn’t even aware he’s hiding.
A FORBIDDEN DESIRE
Unaware that they’ve been brought together by an outside force and are little more than pawns to a higher power, Alasdair and Leo spend time trying to uncover the other’s secrets, the attraction between them growing stronger all the while.
But enemies are watching and preparing to act against them. When decisions that will alter lives and destinies have to be made—can a dead, grey heart learn to beat again?
Review
It is absolutely no secretly that I am a big lover of m/m books. It is also no secret that I love me some Ella Frank. What many of you may not know is that I adore paranormal books. Vampires, werewolves, and yes all of that ridiculousness I love. So, I have to say I knew that reading a m/m paranormal book by Ella Frank was going to be totally epic and IT REALLY WAS!
There is one thing that I feel that I need to address right away; the hotness factor of this book. It is freaking scorching. And not just between the two main characters because this book is obviously a series and many of the other characters were damn sexy too. Every other scene was panty melting. I know, I know. M/M is super steamy anyways but throw in sexy and alpha as hell vampire Alasdair and nerdy Leo and I was done for guys! Done! Whew!
‘When Alasdair took a step and lifted his head, his fangs appeared, and all Leo could think was, deadly. . . he’s so fucking deadly, but so damn hot.’
Leo had it right, guys! Goodness. But on top of this really sensual relationship you have a fantastic paranormal fantasy of a story. The book jumps back and forth from the past to the present in Leo’s visions and the whole time you are trying to figure out who is good and who is bad and if anyone is going to die. God, I was hooked! This is definitely what I would consider a dark paranormal book but I think that anyone who has read Ella Frank’s Try and enjoyed it will definitely enjoy this one as well. I don’t know why but for some reason all of Ella’s books read a bit on the dark side.
I really do not want to spoil this book for anyone because it is full of twist and turns and sexy m/m time and I was hooked from page one. Get ready to meet Alasdair and Leonidas because they are going to rock your world! And be prepared for a HUGE cliffy. It has me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book in this series!!!!
