Charlene Johnson delivered yet another solid read that kept me glued to my screen from start to finish.
This book takes off after Shattered, Avenged & Dawned so note that it is not a standalone but needs to be read after the other books. Broderick is trying to rescue his abducted mate before the vampire who captured her makes her fully lose her humanity.
The book fills in the gap about what happened to Elise after her ‘death’ explaining more about the paranormal world created by the author
This series should be on every paranormal suspense romance reader’s list. The push and pull is delicious, the angst building into a glorious crescendo. It’s most definitely an up-all-night’er.

An intricately woven story filled with steam, mystery and suspense. I wondered why Solomon wanted Ebony so badly. She and Drake were finding their way together, but with hidden obstacles at every turn, it was a near impossible thing. I really enjoyed this story, although some of the details surrounding the other characters might have helped paint a better picture for me. It was an intriguing read, and I am curious to see what’s in the next book.
This is the first book by Charlene Johnson for me and it was well written. Ebony and Drake are great characters and the paranormal storyline was steamy. This gripping story had me turning the pages trying to find out what would happen next.

WOW!!! This is the first book I have read from this author and I love it. It is the first of a series. This is full of emotion and drama. This is unlike any paranormal book I have read. The story is written in such detail that it is easy to imagine the scenes. They are so realistic. The characters personalities are so different from each other. They are well developed. We have two male lead characters, Drake Devereaux and his father Broderick. The villain is a wealthy well connected rogue vampire named Solomon Blackwell. Broderick’s wife, Drake’s mother Elise, was a target of Solomon’s desire. However, their affair, based on blackmail, ended tragically. Broderick has made it his mission to get revenge on Solomon. There is a new development in Broderick’s case, his son, Drake fell in love with Ebony Jordan. Ebony is now the object of Solomon’s obsession. Broderick is aware that Drake and Ebony are in danger because of this. There is another complication, Veronica Devlin, Drake’s longtime ex-girlfriend. She wants retribution for the embarrassment Drake’s humiliation caused. She also wants him back. This story ends with a cliffhanger. However, I did not feel dissapointed. I only want to read the next book in the series Avenged. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Now he is stalking Ebony with making her his own. Can they keep her safe and out of the hands of Solomon?
