Passionate, Dangerous, Insanely Wealthy, Stunningly Beautiful….The Vernard Family have it all. Until one bloody, violent night leaves their family in ruins. Damn vampires and the games they play….Welcome to the world of the Vernard Family. A family of powerful, uber rich, beautiful vampires who live and love hard. One bloody night begins a series of events that will change the family forever. … forever. Loyalties are tested and vampires are pushed to breaking point. And break they do.
In just a few short moments the idyllic life that Barlet, Adder and Neale share together is brutally and savagely shattered. Alexion, a delusional master vampire, will stop at nothing to destroy the Vernard Family and reclaim his daughter, even if it means her death.
Reeling from the relentless bloody and violent clashes that continue to besiege their family, Neale’s bonded mates struggle to find the courage and the strength to save her when being constantly reminded they didn’t have the power to stop her being taken in the first place.
When a group of the strongest shifters can’t save Neale, instead bringing even more danger to their door, the Vernard Family are left with no alternative. In their desperation to rescue their mate, they reach out to a reclusive lion shifter feared throughout their community. A man that has too many secrets. A man whose own family desperately wants him dead.
Tao though, can and probably will change everything. Barlet, Adder and Neale’s bond is strong, their love is burning hot, but is it strong enough to survive this?
Door is Book 1 in a two part series. It is an adult, RH Paranormal full of smoking hot vampires and shifters. Please note that this book is dark, violent and will be triggering from some readers. Door is also written as multiple POV’s. Door Book 1 contains numerous M/M scenes with a medium to hot smut level throughout. Door will not be suitable for some readers.

This is a dark RH, lots of blood, violent, sex, torture and sex.
Vampires Adder and Barlet are mated with Neale, until her twisted father kidnaps her, for his own unknown selfish means. Tormenting the guys whenever he can.
This book is dark, but keeps you reading as you desperately hope they can find and rescue Neale, you really feel the pain of loss from Adder and Barlet as they cling on to their sanity. Enter Tao, an alpha lion shifter with amazing tracking skills, can he help them?
I love the little twist at the end and can’t wait to see how this story continues in book 2.

My review for Door by Lucy Scott Bryanu2063
u2063Sad,tragic,bloody,gritty and kick ass. The love you see runs deep but can she rise from the abuse she endured? This book starts out hot and steamy but goes to WTF real quick and your left not knowing what will happen next. Family and loyalty is what gets them through the darkness and every detail Lucy added just made this book so much better!! Lucy for sure has become one of my favorite author’s and you really can’t even notice shes a new author with her brilliant work!! I can’t wait for book 2 cause woman you can’t leave a book like that it’s just cruel! By far exceeded my expectations 5 stars for sure!!!
This is a new author to me but she definitely gained a follower in me. This book was insanely awesome. It does have loads if triggers so proceed with caution but if your not bothered by them then you’ll love this book as much as I did. It’s full of darkness, sadness, its steamy hit and definitely tragic. I can’t wait for the next book to come out I’m dying to see Neala come out on top at least I hope she does after everything she has been through.
Door tore me and my heart to pieces. I’m still reeling from that ending and haven’t fully processed what I read. This book was certainly one heck of a ride!
Immediately you are thrown into the action. There is no getting to know you period between you and Door’s characters! Lucy started Door out with a literal bang, and you can feel the love Barlett, Adder, and Neale have for one another. Then BOOM, Lucy shreds our hearts into tiny pieces and the real action begins!
From chapter one all the way until the end I never could guess what was to come, there’s no “oh I see where this is going”- you are kept on your toes for the entire show until the grand finale where we are all left reeling and screaming “That can’t be the ending! I need to know what happens NOW!”.
If you like steamy romance, fated mates, action, and suspense then this is 100% the book for you! Words cannot express how much I loved this book! I’ll be impatiently waiting on pins and needles for book 2!
This book was truly amazing! Lucy pulled out all the stops right from the beginning. This book will make you feel everything and be ready to rip your own heart out. There are so many twists and turns throughout this book you won’t know what is what. For being a new author you would never know it from the level this author has brought. She has really upped the bar and gone to a new level for PNR R/H. Right out of the gate this book grabs your attention and keeps it until the final page! So freaking good and seriously a must read.
great beginning to a new series … very dark, but totally worth it!
I don’t have the words to express how fantastic this book is. It’s dark and gritty, so full of detail that I felt like I was right there inside the story. It sucked me in and tore my heart out but in that good way that left me breathless and wanting more. I’m so looking forward to devouring the next book. I want more from Ms. Bryan.
Door is a fast paced thrill ride full or action, sexy times and heart. I loved every minute of it. When they say medium to hot smut level that is not a joke. This was possibly the fasted paced read I’ve had and it never let up! While there are plenty of sex scenes to keep your appetite full there is also a fantastic overall story here. The Vernard family sucks you in immediately and I wish I could be one of them. The way that the vampires worked seamlessly with the shifters in this book was a refreshing take on the paranormal world. I thought that was inventive and refreshing to see. I can’t wait for book 2 to be released!
ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.
Well I can officially say I’ve added another amazing author to my favorites list.
The door will take you on a wild ride that starts hot and steamy that soon turns to wtf is happening.
You will experience in amazing detail the pain and heartache of our main characters and the commitment they have to get what was taken from them back. Nothing will stop them from weeding out the bad seeds and family and loyalty is what gets them through the tough moments.
Lucy’s did an incredibly job and drawing you into her world and creating words that make you feel like you are there. All the details are amazing and I’ll do my best to patiently wait for book two.
But please don’t take to long I’m kinda in this for the long haul.
**Warning- if you have triggers then I would not read any further than the blurb. This book contains death, blood, abuse of all kinds**
I LOVE IT SO MUCH! So I was not one to read dark romance. I was too afraid, however one day I delved into and found a new genre to read. I love the darkness, grittiness, the blood and everything that entails in dark romance. Lucy Scott Bryan BRINGS IT ALL IN ONE BOOK! It was amazing, sad, tragic, kick butt and take names later. The fighting was epic. The love that transcends throughout the book and you see how deep it runs. So can that forever love prevail? Will new bonds be forged? Can Neala rise from the abuse she endured? What will she do? So much and I cannot wait for the next book to come out. I am so ready.
Dark but with characters that you genuinely cant help but like. The relationship between Neale (FMC), Barlet & Adder is one of love but you dont see much of it before Neale is kidnapped. You do see the fallout from it and how Barlet & Adder cope with it. Which is with sharing in their grief with compassion and tenderness towards each other. Its heartbreakingly lovely in parts. Laughs are few but the majority some from Samwune (a friend and bear shifter). Its much needed or i think the tension, tortured parts and the blood would overshadow the book. That ending though??? Knockout!! Looking forward to book 2 because this book was bloody good
