Artemis, is on a vengeance mission, hunting vampires …Raphael is after the one who hunts his kind. What happens when Artemis meets Raphael? Will love conquer? A captivating paranormal romance story with wonderful characters and lots of adventure. The wonderful side characters enrich the story, and I am very glad there will be a second part. Loved it.
Paranormal romance between an old, cynical vampire and a beautiful fae who is bent on vengeance. Artemis has been groomed for centuries to lead an army into the human realm to kill all humans and vampires. This is her sole mission in life and she seems to have all the skills and incentive to carry it out. The fae are waiting for the portal to open but she has been able to sneak through several times though not in human form.
This is a well-written and engaging story with plenty of action and intrigue. The author does an excellent job of bringing the characters to life. Though there are steamy scenes, they aren’t the central focus of the story. I’ll be looking forward to the next installment, highly recommended!
The Venus Trap by Maya Daniels is a great read for all fantasy lovers.

Raphael is a Vampire bored with his immortal existence, but when his friends start dying he decides to investigate.
Together Artemis and Raphael will fight to right past wrongs; friends become foes and enemies become allies.
I didn’t want to close this book! The story was gripping and the plot utterly interesting and new. I can’t wait for the next book in this fantastical trilogy.
I am still not done fanning myself after reading this one. Before this book I was bored with vampires and a little ‘meh’ about the fae. Well, not anymore! This was just the push the genre needed to get interesting again. I love the plot in this book – not just the steamy romance between Raphael and Artemis – and I am looking forward to the second book in the series. A must-read for anyone who loves a supernatural romance mixed with intrigue and mystery.
Venus Trap is the first book in the Hidden Portals series, and we start off with a storm, a death, and a mad king. Sounds good, right? Wrong! This is brilliant.
Artemis is a Fae, Raphael is a vampire. We also meet with other Fae, Humans, Witches, Vampires, and Demons are mentioned. So right there, we have different species, all with their own history and thoughts, and pitted against each other. Who is telling the truth? Who will fight with who?
We find out more about Artemis’ history as the story progresses, and the reasons she has for feeling the way she does. Raphael has distanced himself from the rest of his race, partly due to his friend, Claude, otherwise known as the mad king.
With intrigue, steam, action, wit, and a strong, sassy female paired with a strong, opinionated male, this book has something for everyone. There were no editing or grammatical errors I noticed, and I thoroughly enjoyed every word.
With an epic finishing line, this will definitely leave you wanting more. Absolutely recommended by me.
