Montreal, Quebec . . . A charming city on the St. Lawrence River, historic, sophisticated, but beneath it all lies an extensive underground where treacherous vampires are plotting to seize the country.Lucifer Scuderi is a vampire—handsome and charismatic, a powerful hunter of unusual skill—who arrives in Montreal to take on the most important hunt of his life. Someone has kidnapped the mate of … kidnapped the mate of Canada’s ruling vampire lord, and it’s up to Lucifer to find him before his death sets off a crisis that could engulf the entire continent.
Eleanor Morel lost everything—including the love of her life—when she became a vampire. But now, twenty years later, she’s a trusted bodyguard to the Canadian lord, Sophia, and the only person Sophia can count on to lead the search for her endangered mate. But what Eleanor doesn’t know is that the special hunter she’ll be working with is none other than her long-lost love. And he’s demanding answers.
Lucifer’s love for Eleanor burns as hot as his anger towards her for leaving him. But they’ll have to find a way to set history aside and work together if they’re going to unravel the twisted betrayal that threatens not only Sophia and her mate, but the whole continent. Because the European vampires are on the move. And if Canada falls, the rest of North America could follow . . .

I love the Vampires in America Series. I fell in love with it when Cyn and Raphael stole my heart back in 2014 when I bought book 1, and the series just keeps getting better. Lucifer the 11th book was so good I power read through it. I love the building story line of the European vampires trying to take over America. It’s got me on pins and needles wondering what will happen next. Plus it lets me keep in touch with past couples as they join together to help each other keep America theirs. This book had two love stories in it. The big second chance love story of Lucifer and the long lost love of his life Eleanor. It also has the on going love story of Sophia vampire Lord of Canada and her Mate Colin who was kidnapped and tortured.
I loved getting to see Sophia and Colin again, but my heart broke over all they went through. I loved Lucifer and Eleanor’s love story. I really enjoy second chance loves and they had a sweet one filled with passion and plenty of I love yous. Lucifer was charming, sexy, and really bad. Eleanor was loyal, brave, and kicked butt in her own right. They made a very cute couple. Something I really love about this series is not only do I get an amazing love story I get tons of action. The end of this book gave a idea of what’s coming in the next book and I can’t wait! Another great book in an awesome series.
What can I say about D.B. Reynolds that hasn’t already been said? I mean seriously. This woman is so awesome! Every story she writes is dangerous, exciting, mysterious and provocative. And that is definitely true in LUCIFER, Book 11 in the Vampires in America series!
There ain’t nothing sexier than a French-Cajun vampire! Lucifer is powerful, charming and very deadly. He’s been asked to help find the kidnapped mate to the Vampire of Canada. His partner for this mission is someone not unknown to Lucifer. In fact, she’s a woman he loved a long time ago. She vanished just vanished. Needless to say, Lucifer is a bit upset. And when a Vampire is upset, nothing good ever comes of it.
Eleanor is a strong vampire. She’s earned her place at the side of her Vampire Lord. She’s loyal, efficient, and also deadly. She’s not too keen on outsiders coming into their territory to help find the Vampire Lord’s mate, but knows they need all the help they can get. When she finds out who is leading the search, she is completely blind-sided. As they work together, old memories start to resurface and lines get blurred quickly as Eleanor’s resistance to the sexy vampire falters. Lucifer’s charm is just as deadly as it was when she was human.
As the pair search for the missing mate, deep layers of rot are revealed in the Canadian Vampire Lord’s territory. Loyalties are tested and traitors are more abundant than allies. Who can be trusted? Lucifer and Eleanor face countless unknown threats. The most dangerous one of all may not involve losing their heads…but their hearts.
I highly recommend this and every book in the Vampires in America series!

D.B. Reynolds is truly a master of her craft and has once again delivered an amazing addition to her Vampires in America series!
These stories have always made their way to my favourites list, but Lucifer is destined to remain close to my heart for many years to come. For Lucifer is an enigma: gorgeous and witty with a charm that belies his inner strength, Lucifer also harbours a deeply passionate and emotional side that we don’t often encounter in Vamps with the power and ability to one day rule a territory of own.
In this latest tale of the forces vying for control of the North American territories, where deception, brutality and betrayal are front and centre, Ms Reynolds has penned what can most aptly be described as a profoundly moving and captivating romance.
While Lucifer delivers the same intensity and grit that we’ve come to expect from these fast-paced tales of war, danger and mayhem, in Lucifer we also see the human he once was, the values he holds dear and the depth of his love that will last through the ages.
I dare you not to fall in love with this charming rogue; with the heart of a warrior, but the soul of a true romantic

Wow!
Loaded with action and suspense.
Constantly moving. Not only do you get Lucifer & Eleanor’s story, but you get so much more with Sophia and Colin.
Fantastic suspense scenes.
Topped with just enough mystery of who all the traitors are.
Talk about surprising twist! This one has two big ones.
One has to do with the suspense & who one of the main traitors are. I thought I had it all figured out. Boy was I wrong! Yet the clues were there the whole time. I just went in the wrong direction, just like Sophia!
Bravo Ms. Reynolds! You got me.
Now the second twist has to do with the romance between Lucifer and Eleanor.
On that one, I just have to say……
It’s about time roles reversed. Because no matter what Lucifer’s other reasons for what he decided in the end, his main and reason was for Eleanor.
The adult romance scenes are superbly written and not overdone.
Lucifer sets this story on .
The world build and character build is spot on.
LOVED IT!

Have you ever read the Vampires in America series? If not, you should seriously reconsider what you’ve been doing with your life thus far. Sometimes with series, story lines become redundant, repetitive, and boring. Not so with ViA. Each book moves the background story line along while still focusing on the main couple featured.
Lucifer features (you guessed it) Lucifer and Eleanor. I don’t want to spoil the plot line if you haven’t read the rest in the series, but be assured it stands up to all the others. Lucifer and Eleanor had been separated for some time, and “second chance romances” are one of the worst things ever. Yet it actually works for me; the separation became less of an issue for me.
I would not recommend skipping any of the previous in the series. While each book stands on its own, it would be a bit perplexing not understanding the major story line.
This author knows how to write ADULT VAMPIRES!!! You forget that you’re reading and she takes you right there, smack in the middle, where everything else around you is invisible! Her vampires are Believable! Alpha! Sensitive! Mean (when they have to be)! And downright Sexy! No boys here, oh no, all male. The women are kick ass, no TSTL B*tches. This series will never end (not in my lifetime lol). The hero Lucifer is swoon worthy, loving and caring. Eleanor is smart; vulnerable and able to take care of herself. The secondary characters are always nice to see. I forgot how much I loved Sophia and Raphael, king of the universe, don’t give a f**k attitude.There’s plenty of action and steamy romance. Lucifer is the 11th addition to the Vampires in America series. I recommend that for full enjoyment to read the series in order.
