DO YOURSELVES A FAVOUR, PICK IT UP YOU GUYS, LOVE IT, EMBRACE IT. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
This is M.L. Tompsett’s first book and what a book it is, filled with romance, steamy sex scenes, love/hate, secrets and more importantly (my favourite) vampires!
She has done an awesome job creating a vampire book unlike any other, there are so many twists and turn around every corner you will never ever see it coming. I honestly cannot wait for book 2 of this series because it has a breathtaking, thought provoking cliffhanger ending that will make you want to continue reading as soon as you put this down.
If you guys haven’t checked The Guy Next Door (book 1) or Dark Surprises (book 2) then please do yourselves a favour and get this eBook ASAP!

This book creates an interesting and imaginative world. The author has some good ideas, taking the traditional traits of vampires and changing them to make the ‘Dark Ones’ unique. The Joining Ceremony, for example, isn’t something I have read anything similar to anywhere else. The story is told from one character’s point of view, in a way which allows her personality to come through. She does not know about ‘Dark Ones’ and their world so the reader gets to find out everything as she does instead of there being a long a boring download at the start of the book.
This author has a different way of writing, but once you get used to it you can sit back and enjoy reading.
If you’re looking for an action-packed vampire story, then you’ve found it! Written in a completely unique style, the story feels as though you are right inside the heads of the characters as the action unfolds. From the steamy love scenes to the take-charge fight scenes where Alexia shines brightly, this book is fun and entertaining. I love how the characters find their places in two different worlds, embrace their heritage, and love one another all the way through.
Alexia and Drake were next door neighbors and childhood buddies. It wasn’t surprising that they grew to love one another as they got older. Shortly after they took their relationship to the next level and made love, Drake’s legal guardians decided they were not right for each other. They quickly moved out of town and Drake left a gaping hole in Alexia’s life. Devastated, depressed, and inconsolable, she turns to her Mum for a shoulder to cry on. After she confesses everything, Mum packs up the car for a road trip to a fantasy world. There are many secrets that Alexia becomes aware of, along with a family history that’s unbelievable.
There are plenty of surprises in store for Alexia. It seems the world is much bigger than she ever imagined, but there’s also danger lurking. This was a fast paced entertaining read.
My first vampire book, and boy have I been missing out. She warns in the description about it being for an audience over 18, and that’s a good thing. The sex scenes were steaming hot!
I felt for the main character as she longed for her one and only since she was three. I won’t reveal what happened, but I know I’m going to start reading the next book in this series.
I’m not sure how I came to read Books 2, 3, and 4 in this series without reading Book 1, but I’m glad I backtracked so I could see how everything began. I love the boy next door love story, and the feeling that some things are just meant to be. But the sweet young lovers theme aside, this is anything but a feel good romp in the neighborhood – mysterious assassin attempts, vile family members with their own selfish agendas, and one surprising twist after another will keep you turning the pages as fast as you can read. With both likeable and despicable characters, tense situations and plenty of steamy scenes, I guarantee you’ll want to keep reading to find out what happens next.
