I love Kym Grosso!!! Anything she writes is blessed!!!
LOVED it! Great characters- great story
Leopold, an ancient but oh so handsome (and powerful) vampire has his own book (he was in several earlier books). First saving an innocent and finding something he has never felt in centuries. A supernatural woman whose talent is unknown. This is a standalone book but it is so much better when read in order (many beloved characters make this story so much better. This is a romance, a paranormal mystery, steamy and a page turner. Bravo!!!
The book was drawn out and tedious. I read 78 percent and DNF. The sex scenes were mediocre.
I am in love with Kym Grosso and this amazing Series!!!!
I listened to it on Audible and I took my time, it’s such a good, a delicious story line. This is also my first book from the author.
Sexy as heck Leopold, oh I want Leopold!! But he is so sexy, strong and a vampire. He is also honorable, he is on a mission to find a killer. Beautiful and mysterious Laryssa is in need of help of her own. She bravely volunteers to help Leopold and by doing so a chain of events start to unravel.
Oh my goodness, I am so in love with this story line. It has vampire, wolves, witches and oh my Laryssa!!
The chemistry, the attraction between the gorgeous Leopold and beautiful Laryssa!!
A must read/listen!!
Love this whole series
I have loved every single book in Kym’s Immortals of New Orleans series but she has truly outdone herself with this book. From the very first page I was immersed in a tale of deceit, adventure, magic, & immortal love.
Leopold is a 1000 year old vampire who has known unbelievable pain but, although he holds himself aloof from those around him, still has a beautiful soul. This is not to say that he is not fully Vampire, he is. He is just not a soulless vampire as some might expect of someone who has been in this world as long as he has & seen the things he has seen.
Laryssa is also a magical being (but I won’t tell you what kind). She has been hiding her true nature for many years. But something is after her & she knows she can’t survive without help. But she is scared to trust anyone with the truth of her background. She has hurt & rejected before.
Will Leopold & Laryssa find a way around their past? Will they find a way to keep Laryssa alive? And what of that which brought them together to begin with? And OMG, you won’t believe what happens at the end…
I simply cannot wait until the next book in this series!!!!!
Had to get the rest of the series after this one.
Not a great read , but it was enjoyable.. Worth the time.
This book was very romantic and thexsex steamy. It kept me wanting to know what would happen next. The characters really played to each other and made me cheer for them to come together.
HOT, HOT, HOT
Fabulous read
I loved this book it was the next one in a series but it was also great as a stand alone. The characters were really fleshed out and you could really get into the story. This book made me love a vampire.
Kym Grosso never fails to write a great intriguing and steamy paranormal romance. The characters are well developed and the plot always draws you in.
Loved this book. The characters are well developed and sympathetic. The story flows and I didn’t want to put it down
