A fantastical thrilling book. Aleron is a very old vampire who enjoys the club scene at Club Toxic where there’s no shortage of women to snack on. Merris is a young woman who sees what her twin sister Jez has done through dreams. These dreams have led her to Club Toxic looking for her sisters killer. Each night Merris is seeing a man in this club and is feeling what he had done to her and she’s insistent that he killed her sister so she’s left to collect incriminating evidence since she can’t go to the police about a dream. Finally at the club she spies this man as their eyes meet he beckons her and she goes, he politely introduces himself as Aleron, she glares and asks him about her sister and he informs her that while he did speak to her sister the night she was murdered he played no part in it. Not believing him she wants to question him further and to know every single occurrence between him and the sister, so with a quid quo pro she asks questions if he can do exactly what he did to the sister she agrees. He leads her down into the dungeon of the club and as their arriving into his niche she sees many scenes of bdsm which she’s never been exposed to. Aleron goes on to give her a night to remember, but he’s falling for her but can’t admit it. Getting ready to leave Aleron wipes her memory, but as their leaving she catches a vampire feeding off of his submissive, she realizes finally what they are so he plants new suggestions for her to follow so she calms down but is still slightly agitated as she leaving she bumps into someone and as they grab her she sees her sisters killers face, he was caught off guard thinking she survived not knowing she had a twin. Once out the door gunfire erupts and Aleron is there shoving her down and covering her while he takes three bullets. Once in his car the adventure really begins, this is a true vampire story with intrigue, and lots of gore. The shifters of Tucson make an appearance in this story, and while it’s lovely seeing old friends if this is your first time meeting them it doesn’t distract from the story. I thoroughly enjoyed this book was fun, quirky in spots, and still managed to throw hot sex and love into it. All is as it should be in the end. I voluntarily received an advanced reader copy of this book.
Merris is on a mission to find answers and justice for her loss. Her quest will bring her into a world of BDSM, vampires, shifters, drugs and murder.
Merris the hunter becomes the hunted, for pleasure, blood, revenge and to silence her.
Aleron was her target, but he becomes, seducer, protector, lover and loved.
Action, heat, chemistry, humor, mystery, murder, mayhem, revenge and “undying” love makes this a must read addition/offshoot to the Alpha world series.
This story is so good Aleron is one hot Vampire….Merris is looking for her sisters killer…. she mistakenly thinks Aleron did it and will find out he didn’t and you will have to read what happens but if you love vampire stories you will love this one

Merris is searching for Aleron, who she believes is her twin sisters killer when she stumbles into a world of paranormal existence she never knew existed.
Aleron, a 900 year old vampire is instantly intrigued by this innocent woman. To convince her he’s innocent of her sisters murder he introduces her into the belly of Club Toxic a BDSM club where vampires feed on unsuspecting humans.
When their worlds collide and the true killer starts to hunt Merris, Aleron is determined to keep her safe and alive.
Her Vampires Master is the first Maren Smith book I’ve read and I was impressed with her writing style and the general storyline.
If I had to critique this book for anything it was the anti-climatic way the killer was stopped. Throughout 92% of the book we’d had the build up and anarchy of an elusive killer who will stop at nothing to reach Merris and kill her with no motive (other than she looks like her sister). Then at 94% it was all over, and the book wrapped up. It felt like Smith reached her word count and just had to finish the book. Up until then I really enjoyed it.
I received a copy of the ARC for an honest review.
This great book had me hanging on the edge of my seat from the very beginning! The characters were written with such great detail and depth that I couldn’t put this book down until I finished reading the very last page!
I think the term I’m looking for is “gobsmacked”. My jaw is hanging loose in complete and total awe. This book is a blend of so many different genres that maybe shouldn’t work together, but in this story they flow seamlessly. Paranormal, romance, suspense, even comedy. All of this with a Lifestyle twist that left me breathless. Merris and Aleron are complex characters with strengths and weaknesses that dovetail nicely together. I loved watching the protector in Aleron come out. It was especially adorable to see how baffled he was that he even had those feelings. Merris has a quiet strength about her. At her feisty best, she was pure entertainment. I can’t wait to see what else is going to come out of this world, and I’m hoping we might get the chance to see Merris and Aleron again in the future.

This is the first book I have read by Maren Smith. Merris is trying to find out who/why her twin sister Jez was killed. She finds Aleron, a vampire, in Club Toxic who she has been having dreams/visions about. I loved this action packed, steamy, dark, suspenseful and captivating read.

*New to me author
I freaking loved this story! I have never read Maren Smith before, but I will be correcting that real soon. Her Vampire Master is a spin-off to Renee Rose and Lee Savino’s Bad Boy Alpha series (which you don’t have to read, but I highly recommend you just because it is terrific!).
Merris is on the hunt for her twin sister’s murder, and she knows just who it is, Aleron. Merris is bound to find out why he would kill her sweet but adventurous sister. When Merris shows up at Club Toxic- Lucius’ club, some weird things are going on which she is willing to overlook if she can get the truth out of him.
Aleron has been alive for nine hundred years and has given up being in love; he knows that he will forever be alone. But when he meets Merris, he knows something is different. But will he lose her just when he has found her?
This book is a beautiful start to the beginning of a new series Midnight Doms.
Great start to this spinoff series – More Midnight Doms, please!
—>>> Visions of her twin with a mysterious man brings Merris to Club Toxic to confront he man who killed her sister. The truth is something she did not want to hear, though: he is not the murderer. Something about this twin captivates the jaded and bored vampire Aleron has become, bringing out feelings he has not felt in a long, long time for a mere human. When it is becomes clear Merris’ life is in danger as her presence is noted at the club, mistaking her for her dead twin, they end up on the run and on a hunt to identify the murderer and make him pay. Merris’ eyes are opened to Aleron’s brand of hot sexual play as well as to the existence of vampire and shifter kind amongst humans. I hope to read more of this couple in the next books to come in this series, as well as more spinoff stories!

Her Vampire Master is the first book in the Vampire Doms series, a spin off of the Bad Boy Alpha Series. Merris is on the hunt to find her sister’s murderer, and she is lead into the dark and tempting arms of Aleron. Aleron is captivated by the puzzle of Merris, but when answers are found and the night is over, will they go their separate ways?
Oh. My. Goodness! This book was so fabulous and such an amazing start to this multi-author spin off! Merris and Aleron completely captivated me, stole my attention, and I did not want to stop reading this book! Merris was the perfect combination between innocent and determined, vulnerable and a fierce protector, with a passion she never realized before. Plus I loved some of her abilities and how they played into the storyline! Aleron was cool and detached at times, but I loved his slow slide into feeling more and finding that love he would do anything for. I loved their connection and passion and I really enjoyed their physical journey as much as their journey to find answers. I loved seeing some familiar faces from previous books, but this still stands well on its own. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to more from this series and this author!
This book was decadently delicious, sinfully hot and I loved every single minute of it. With a smartly crafted story that brilliantly pairs lots of sizzle and steam with tension and drama, you find yourself very quickly captured in the enticing spell that this book weaves. Merris was spunky, tenacious and fierce. She was a female lead that I found easy to relate to and connect with. Aleron was all things swoony! Dark, dangerous and wickedly hot, I loved seeing this playboy vamp brought to his knees by the human woman he never save coming. An absolutely wonderful read and an amazing start to a new series that I can’t wait for read more from. This is my frank, freely posted review.
I so love Vampires and Aleron was just the right amount of sensitive and protective towards the fiesty brave Merris as they enter a very dangerous life situation on her quest for revenge and oh boy was it exciting just watching them develope into so much more. Was one hot story.
This book is based in the shifter world created by Renee Rose and Lee Savino. Merris is searching for her twin sister’s killer and she finds Aleron. He is a vampire who enjoys human women, but only once. He’s met his match with Merris. There is a HEA and the promise of more books in this new series.

I will caveat this review by saying I do not like vampire stories. Having said that, I loved this story. It is a vampire but wow, what a storyline. You will not want to put this one down. Aleron is a very old vampire who falls for Merris, which goes completely against everything he knows. The emotions are so well done you almost feel them when you are reading.
Oh gosh, this was just what I needed. There’s darkness and suspense and mystery but also some steamy and oh so hot scenes along with the storyline that you won’t be able to put this down.

Love this book! It is a stand alone read but pulls in characters from the Bab Boy Alpha series. I love the weaving of the story of Metros trying to find her twin sister killer with those characters from the past. Full of action, emotions and heat-its a must read and great start to the Midnight Doms series.

This is my first book by Maren and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There’s pnr, dark, suspense, BDSM and a whole lot of deliciousness going on. Totally feel in love with Aleron. Looking forward to more books by Maren.
Intense and powerful. Those words can describe Aleron and this story. It is a spin-off of a shifter series but is a standalone that elicited emotions that were in turmoil long after I swiped the last page. I fell in love with Aleron who while has immense power was also sensitive and protective. Even vampires have a soft side, and Merris was able to touch him as no one else in his long life. Fabulous read where five stars are simply not enough.
