The greatest trick the First Vampire ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn’t exist.If you enjoyed the Blade or Underworld movies, you will love the Shade of Devil series.Before the now-infamous Count Dracula ever tasted his first drop of blood, Sorin Ambrogio owned the night. Humanity fearfully called him the Devil.Cursed by the gods, Sorin spent centuries bathing Europe in oceans of … Devil.
Cursed by the gods, Sorin spent centuries bathing Europe in oceans of blood with his best friends, Lucian and Nero, the world’s first Werewolf and Warlock—an unholy trinity if there ever was one. Until the three monsters grew weary of the carnage, choosing to leave it all behind and visit the brave New World across the ocean. As they befriended a Native American tribe, they quickly forgot that monsters can never escape their past.
But Dracula—Sorin’s spawn—was willing to do anything to erase Sorin’s name from the pages of history so that he could claim the title of the world’s first vampire all for himself. Dracula hunts him down and slaughters the natives, fatally wounding Sorin in the attack. Except a Shaman manages to secretly cast Sorin into a healing slumber.
For five hundred years.
Until Sorin is awoken by a powerful Shaman in present-day New York City. In a world he doesn’t understand, Sorin only wants one thing—to kill Dracula and anyone else who stands in his path. When the descendant of an infamous vampire hunter steps into his life, Sorin is torn between conflicting feelings in his heart—revenge or love. But to a woman like Victoria Helsing, it might just be considered a bloody good date.
The streets of New York City will flow with rivers of blood, and the fate of the world rests in the hands of the Devil, Sorin Ambrogio.
Because this town isn’t big enough for the both of them.

An outstanding read, twisting multiple mythologies anew. Sorin has staked his claim in NY, and now sets up multiple crazy plans to further his wants, a family, a home, and Dracula’s head. But, new enemies interject, violently, and Sorin finds himself still catching up to the 21st century and all its components. Suffused with action, a bit of heat, revelations, and often hilarious quips &/or consequences, Devil’s Cry was a hell of a ride, captivating from beginning to end.
The master of red herrings and misdirection did it again.
Well, we thought we learned one thing in the previous book, Devil’s Dream. But now, in Devil’s Cry, it isn’t/is, may or may not be true. And then *that* happened at the end, tossing it all in the air. Oh, we get answers to prior questions in DC, but I’m pretty sure I’m more confusticated than I was before. Shayne Silvers will do that to you. And does. With relish.
And Sorin’s still sexy as hell. First, Sorin is *very* romantic, no question. His thought process in thinking about his women – his lovers – makes that clear. There is a scene that’s hot as hell, but still poetic, somehow. I was raised on Hammer and other horror films, so the fact that vampirism is as much about sex as blood is not a new concept for me at all. And the way Silvers wrote the scene is a bit reminiscent, the modern banter notwithstanding. But there is much more to the writing, to how Sorin perceives and feels about his sexual encounters that pushes the right buttons, too.
As always, snarky humor is peppered throughout. A few references were misfires for me, but it’s endless fun watching Sorin navigate the hazards that are women with far more trepidation than he confronts an angry giant. Read on, friend, read on.
Great series and a way to turn the vampire world on its head
Holy hot tamales! Sorin is definitely my favorite vampire! Very nice nod to the romanticized vampire, yet tasteful (heh heh…taste…vampire…nevermind). Sorin knows he can’t get to Dracula, so he’s binging Dracula to him in a very new, imaginative way. You’re going to love this book!!
I loved the first one and this one didn’t disappoint. I’m happy Shayne decided to edit this one because I don’t think 3 will be enough in this amazing journey that he’s taking us on. A definite must read especially if you are looking for more than just the same old story about a vampire.
I was a big fan of the first Shade of Devil book, so when I received the Advance Copy of Devil’s Cry, I was thrilled. The plot twists were absolutely incredible, I really enjoy Sorin’s story, and some of the side characters (Dr Stein, anyone?) leave me nearly doubled over in laughter every time they popup.
Shayne doesn’t write this story just for laughs, though. There are plenty of those, but the action, the emotion, is almost palpable. Even after just two books, I feel connected to, invested in the lives, trials and tribulations of these characters. And the revelation toward the end of the book had my jaw hitting the floor. Once again, Silvers has done it, and fashioned a detailed, incredible world out of nothing.
