Enjoyed the two connected stories. Editing was pretty good, although I did run across one of my pet peeves. In the second book, Alex and Salvator are talking, but one piece of the conversation is incorrectly attributed to Gabriel.
Darkest Memory –
Calah is busy living her life, never having an inkling that she is being watched over by the vampire, Gabriel. After a near mugging, she has a strange dream, and is called in the middle of the night to interview the mysterious Gabriel, billionaire brother of her best friend, Alex. If it had been me, I’d have really questioned why my editor was calling in the middle of the night and why I had to leave now and not in the morning! Anyway, Calah goes along with Gabriel and Alex to his home in Maine. As the story moves, we find that there is a long history between Calah, Gabriel, and Alex. Gabriel has loved Calah for over 800 years, and wishes to protect her from his maker. The battle to save Calah leads into the second book. Throughout this book, we learn how Gabriel and Alex became vampires, and the love story between Gabriel and Calah. Will they triumph over the evil that tried to destroy them once before?
Heart of Vesuvius –
The result of the battle to save Calah has now put a target on Gabriel, Alex, and Calah. They receive aid from Salvator, an ancient vampire. Salvator is motivated to help the trio because they have angered his brother, Luciano. As this story unfolds, we find Alex and Salvator have a bit of a history. They crossed paths 200 years ago, and it didn’t turn out very well. Running from Luciano, they hide out in the belly of Mount Vesuvius. Turns out Salvator lived in Pompeii before becoming a vampire. Alex’s ability to more or less paint a time portal comes into play, and we find out the story of Salvator’s life. How will this battle turn out? Will they defeat Luciano? Will there be other casualties?
These two were entertaining, and rather well done. At the end, we get a surprise, which sets up the books to come. Wondering if the same surprise might apply to Gabriel and Calah and they had a similar meeting in their story. Also, I am left wondering if we will see more of Robert, the human that got caught up in their battle. Looking forward to seeing where this series goes. Enjoy!
Book 1, I loved everything about the story line!! Beautiful Calah, has been watched and protected since birth. As you read on, you will discover more. She is a journalist and lands an exclusive interview with an elusive billionaire, Gabriel.
They are attracted to each other, and she finds him mysterious. It just so happens that her best friend of 10 years Alexandria is Gabriel’s sister. Lot’s of strange things while she is staying with them at his private island estate. Turns out his evil maker wants Calah dead!! This was an exciting and non-stop page turner, with some heat in the love scenes between gorgeous Gabriel and beautiful Calah.
I loved their story.
Book 2 was my favorite!! It was so unexpected in so many ways. Lot’s of surprises. Alexandria, Gabriel’s sister and Calah are on the run. They have to split up, so they receive the help of a very powerful vampire, Salvatore. He is the brother of Luciano, the vampire who is hunting them.
I fell in with Alexandria’s story, it explains so much about her and the incredibly gorgeous Salvatore. They have always been attracted to each other.
These books have an amazing and captivating storyline, characters, and love scenes.
So many surprises and happily ever afters, But, I am desperately waiting and wanting Book 3. The continuation of a happy surprise from Alexandria and Salvatore!!!
