Jasmine Hunter finds herself knee deep in a decadent vampire nest in Prague. A killer lurks the medieval city and is preying on blood donors who frequent the home of the local Vampire Mistress. With her teammates from Scotland Yard in tow Jasmine, must attempt to discover the murderer’s identity. But will things go to plan? Sex dungeons, submissive human pets, and sexy dominant males are a lot … males are a lot for a rookie to cope with.
Especially when Eric is the last person she expects to see…
Requested to assist with the hunt for a vicious serial killer by an old friend, Eric is left speechless to find Jasmine offering herself up as food. The attraction between them is burning as red hot as before, and his lust for the feisty female is just as deep.
More disturbing, his emotions which he normally has leashed, once more slip in her presence. Yet this time they feel different. Darker, primal, and savage yet Eric cannot explain why. The insidious pull of the other predators around him is also more than a sweet temptation he finds himself unable to resist.
Combining forces, Jasmine and Eric must play the parts of Master and submissive.
But nothing is as it seems.
Can they work out who the killer is in a household full of deception and secrets before it is too late? Or will a price be paid in blood….

I really enjoyed this book. The plot continues on from book 1 and the transition from book 1 to 2 rolls very smoothly. Jas finds out more about the Vampire world. I find myself curious about her and her birthmark. Not only that, but about her power and how she seems to have a gravitational pull on everyone she meets. They either want to protect or kill her. I’m interested to find out more about some of the other vampires she has come across, as well as her parentage. I’m not sure if that will be addressed in this series, but I’m keeping my eyes open.
I was a fan with book 1 and now I’m completely addicted to this series. The twists Claire Marta incorporates ratchets the suspense further and the chemistry from book 1 is even better this time around. I am left in awe of how Claire Marta is able to write so fluidly while incorporating such complexity.
The character development is intense across the board. I could feel and imagine every character—primary or secondary. I love how even more information is shaded in throughout the book. The world building really sung with book 2. It was more intricately put together and so very vivid. It was easy to imagine the world Claire Marta created because of the depth she gives in her writing.
The story hooked me and kept me going, I couldn’t stop for anything. Sleep was not necessary when I had these words in front of me. I may have needed a bit more coffee the next day but it was worth it.
5 stars for a vivid and intense read!
It’s official, I am now addicted to this series 2 books in! There is so much to love about this series. The constantly evolving storyline, the wonderfully crafted world and the fantastic characters all combine to make this series one you won’t put down!
This is a murder mystery set in a “nest” of vampires. The heroine was sometimes annoying. She could be brave but also foolish, stubborn and reckless. The mystery resolved but the relationship between the heroine and her vampire lover ended abruptly. It was unclear to me whether this was a setup for another book.
4.5 Stars!
This is the second book in the series, and Jasmine and Eric once again combine forces, but this time they are undercover in a Vampire Nest in Prague seeking a serial killer of the Ripper variety.
This book is a lot more steamy than the first, Jasmine is having a sexual awakening, and we not only have the very hot Vamp Eric, but Asier will have you all a flutter as well. Jealousy and manipulation are very much in play in the Nest which lead to some very complicated emotions. You need to read to get the full story!
As with the first book there’s a lot of excitement and action, the hunt for the killer is fast paced and Jasmine finds herself in a number of tricky situations. Again the side characters provide entertainment with Conall and Gemma having a spark (lets hear more about that) and Twitch is his usual pervy, cheeky self!
I enjoyed this book more than the first, I liked the pace a bit better and there were some particularly hot moments. Toward the end I wasn’t impressed with Eric’s behaviour – lets hope things improve with the next book, and he can redeem himself!
Jasmine is back, and she’s on a new mission, and you guessed it, Eric is there crowding her space. The fire is still burning bright between the two. Jasmine and Gemma are sent in undercover as blood donors to help the team discover who is murdering women in a ripper pattern. Eric and #sigh Asier are there on a mission of their own. The teams decide it is in the best interest of everyone involved to work together. The action is intense and the jealousy rages as they tackle the queen bitch, I mean mistresses desires and make a shocking discovery.
This story is highly erotic and filled with suspense, action, and intrigue. You won’t be disappointed.
Jasmine is just getting over her passionate night with Eric when she bumps into again at her new assignment . The door has barely shut on the room shes going to share with him when the spark between them ignites into a flame & they take up where they left off in Paris .Her mission is to get info on the vampire equivalent of Jack the Ripper . Pretending to be Eric’s human brings Jasmine into the erotic ,anything goes life of a vampires pet . Claire Marta’s books satisfy the paranormal , mystery & fantasy aspect needs of any reader i can’t wait to start book 3
4.5 stars
Ms. Marta is the best debut author of the year for me. I just love her characters. Jasmine is trying to solve the case of the “ripper” when crosses with Eric once again.
Jasmine is on assignment with her team in Prague to infiltrate a vampire nest. With donors being murdered she and a coworker pose as donors to get in the nest. The last person, err vampire, she expects to see is Eric but when she does it’s an explosive reunion. It’s a way in for Jasmine and her team that they have been looking for.
Eric and Asier are welcomed to the Prague nest by the Mistress of the city because of their history together. But when Jasmine shows up all bets are off and Eric claims Jasmine for himself as his human donor/ pet. This is when things really get interesting. Eric “prepares” Jasmine for all the things she is going to see/do…NOT, she is taken off guard by what she is expected to participate in. When Asier comes into to the dungeon scene let’s just say sparks fly!!!
Action, suspense and intrigue are what you can expect from this book with a bit of BDSM elements thrown in. Warning their is a cliffhanger and you need to read Frostbite to get the whole picture.
Jasmine and Eric’s story countinues in Prague working together again to find a killer. This series is hot vampires and twisted people or beings. I’m loving it so far and can’t wait to read book 3. Highly recommended as must read.
Loved it, fabulous series!!!
