Vermilion Lies
By LD Rose
5 stars
Vermilion Lies was an awesome read! I loved books 1 and 2 in the series so I was really looking forward to this one and it more than met my expectations! The author definitely took this series to another level with the writing in this book! I was gripped from the very first page, it just felt like non-stop action and I couldn’t turn the pages quick enough.
Dax and Cindel’s story was completely captivating! It was dark and raw and I honestly loved every second of it. There was this immense passion between the two of them and some undeniable chemistry! There were some great twists and turns that kept me glued to this story from beginning to end.
This book can be read as a standalone however I would recommend reading them in order.
As always I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future!
Vermilion Lies by L. D. Rose is the third book in the The Order of the Senary Series. This story is one that took me for a wild ride. From the first page to the last page, I was engrossed in the story so much that i forgot about my surroundings. This story is a dark paranormal story with Cindel and Dax as the main characters in the story. They are both vampires who found each other. Sindel from an abusive vampire who rules New York and Dax who is there to help Cindel out of the situation she is in. Dax helps Cindel become a better vampire. Will Cindel and Dax plan work? Will there be romance in the relationship? You will have to read the book to find out about Cindel and Dax.
Vermilion Lies by L.D. Rose is the third book in the Order if the Senary series. This book can be read as a stand-alone but honestly you will definitely want to read the other two books!!
This book was amazing. Dax can only be described as completely bad boy swoon worthy!! He captured my attention from the start and is definitely the reason I became so invested in this book. The other characters were great – interesting, engaging – but for me it was Dax who made it.
To top it off the story was amazing. This author weaves such a tale you are compelled to read more – which I found extremely fitting for a fantasy story. I’ve read a couple of books by this author previously but this one has definitely been my favourite so far.
Fantasy – check. Sexy – check. Fast paced – check. Emotionally charged – check. Such a very well written book. Rose continues to charm every reader with the depth of character and ebb and flow of the plot. Everything moves well and keeps the reader on their toes. I was immediately transported into this world and didn’t want to leave. In fact I was upset when the story ended (only because it meant reentering the real world. Very much recommended.
Vermilion Lies (The Order of the Senary Series Book 3) by L.D. Rose is another amazing book in The Order of the Senary series. I love this series and the hybrid characters, I have fallen in love with each and every one of them. I love the dark and broody males but I also love the equally tough women who like their male counterparts will stop at nothing to protect those they love and consider family and help to take down the evil infestation of the world. J.D stories are enthralling, engaging and thrilling and leave you wanting more. This story is full of action and danger, drama and lies and is compelling. This book had me on the edge of my seat and often my heart in my throat as they are put through their paces but there is also a level of fun between the brothership of the Senary. The darkness, the edginess, the rawness and intrigue bring it all together to bring us something truly wonderful.
If you love something dark, chilling, thrilling then look no further. This is one series that will hook you and keep you invested. I look forward to reading the next book and what she brings us next.
Wow! This is as much of a thrill ride as the last story. It starts off a bit slow as you get to the the two main character individually. But once they come together….hold onto your hat! It’s explosive! I literally couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen to this amazing couple next. Each is strong on their own and I loved seeing their characters grow. Cindel probably did the most as she saw what she had the potential to be.
It is lovely seeing all the boys and a few of their mates/wives again. As I have stated before I love hanging with these guys and listening to their camaraderie. We got to see Jon in action and I enjoyed Dax’s thoughts on it. (Very JJ…they don’t call him the Black Bullet for nothing) not to mention Blaze, Rome and new comer Kayne. Kayne is quite the guy! He has fun with everyone calling Dax “Frosty” and Cindel a special name as well. He always banters obnoxiously with all of the Senary boys. He seems to always put a smile on my face.
Another action packed story from this series.
I loved this book. It is a well written, fast paced story that left me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what would happen next. The characters pop off the pages as well as keep the story flowing. They are dark, bruised characters with chemistry and passion that is off the charts. Dax’s hunting leads him to Cindel this is where the action starts and continues to the end. As things spin out of control, are they strong enough to survive? Their story is a must read.
The books in L.D. Rose’s Order of the Senary series just keep getting better and Vermillion Lies is the best one yet! Rose’s writing sucked me in and had me on the edge of my seat all throughout Dax and Cindel’s story. I love the way Rose combines romance, action, and the paranormal create Such an addictive story. The entire book is excellently paced and didn’t have a single moment that felt slow.
I highly recommend this series to fans of PNR. If you’re not looking for a series, don’t worry. Each book can be read as a stand-alone!
I voluntarily received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
An action-packed thrill ride of epic proportions! This is right up my alley in the supernatural realm with the terrific writing and electrifying storyline. Bloody mayhem abounds as the vampire queen, Cindel, runs from the omnipresence of the evil Russian vampire king and her sire, Alek, and ends up in the arms of a swoon-worthy hybrid, Dax. What a sizzling pair they are after he gets over her being a leech and she learns to trust him and becomes his Cindy. This is the first story I’ve read in the series and I loved it. The spectacular world the author created with the invasion of vampires and the only force stopping them from destroying mankind is the Senary, comprised of hybrids and other supernaturals, is marvelous and scary. The hybrid Knight brothers and sisters have awesome unique powers like Dax and his ability to manifest freeze hence his nickname Frosty. He’s a first rate, panty-melting hero with his chi powers and sexy body. Dax’s is terrific as he protects Cindy and teaches her to stand strong as she turns from a delicate, used creature to a kickass heroine all the while their sexy love blossoms. But will Dax be able to keep her safe from her past and his brothers? There’s also the Trinity and the hilarious leprechaun, Kayne, that assists the Senary in there quest to take down the evil vampires. The camaraderie between the guys is wonderful and funny and adds some levity to the gruesome fighting and blood baths that ensue. It’s all hands on deck when Dax is captured and tortured by Alek in his quest for power and the return of his queen. A few heart-stopping moments and an exciting ending with tons of fighting and super powers in full force. Just fantastic! I’m looking forward to the next story while I catch up on the first two. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.

I was left absolutely speechless when I finished Vermillion Lies by L. D. Rose. She has packed more action, love, and dark paranormal in this book then you would think is possible. Once you start it you won’t be able to put it down. This story about Dax and Cindel is very intense. They are supposed to be enemies, but they both become lovestruck. They end up not only fighting the attraction to each other but are battling with the rogue vampires to protect the humans. This is a deep dark paranormal series and each book just draws you in deeper. I have loved them all and highly recommend that you start reading them now. I can’t wait for the next one. Kudos to L. D. Rose.
I have been waiting for this story and it did not disappoint ! It has all the dark and gritty action along with the passion.
Dax and Cindel should be enemies. But I love how they come together. They learn each other and formed their own connection despite their situations. It’s a bumpy ride but worth the read. Loved this story !
Oh My God you guys!! This book was INCREDIBLE. I read it in a day and a half. The word is UNPUTDOWNABLE. Vermilion Lies, book 3 of the Order of the Senary, was a complete adrenaline rush. Completely action pack, intense, intriguing, suspenseful and unbelievably passionate. I devoured it and I’m already craving a re read.
L.D. Rose created a paranormal world that I was dying to be part of. Her writing style is impeccable. They way you get suck into this world, this incredible fights, it’s out of this world. You feel inside the book and watch every scene like you are in front of a tv.
Book 3 bring us Dax and Cindel’s story. This is a series of standalones but if you ask me it should be read in order to get the full effect.
The passion and love between Dax and Cindel is intense. You will ache and burn for them. They will leave you breathless.
I can’t wait for book 4. Counting the days until next release.

Vermilion Lies is the third book in the Order of the Senary series written by author LD Rose. Even though each book centers on a different couple, I believe it’s best to read the series from the beginning. This will allow you to have the background knowledge to fully appreciate and understand Dax and Cindel’s story.
Dax is a vampire hybrid and part of the Order of the Senary who hunts and kills the evil Strigoi, which are born vampires. While on a mission, he finds Cindel (Cindy), a turned vampire, amongst the Strigoi. After the battle, Cindy asked Dax to take her with him. He does not trust Cindy, and it takes some time for Dax to realize that she is not the enemy. I really enjoyed this story and have to say that their chemistry was pretty dang hot!
Vermilion Lies storyline was well developed, gripping, and steamy! I enjoyed being back in the Order of the Senary world and loved hearing from all the characters from the first two books. This was my favorite so far in the series, and I had a hard time putting my Kindle down. I’m looking forward to reading the next in the series!
Voluntarily Reviewed an Advanced Copy
VERMILION LIES is the third book in The Order of the Senary series, and I would highly recommend you read these in order.
This is Dax and Cindel’s story. Dax we know from previous books, but Cindel is an unknown. It starts off with her running for her life. She hasn’t had the ‘best’ of relationships, and wants to try out on her own. Fast forward, and we see how that turned out for her.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but not quite as much as the first two… and I don’t know why. It was well-written, with plenty of action, steamy scenes and hardships for our main two characters.
I would highly recommend this book, but would also recommend you read the other two first–simply to immerse yourself into their world, and the fantastic writing of L.D. Rose.
Because it’s better to die on your feet than live on your knees
I loved this book! I loved how well Dax and Cindel fit together. L.D. Rose’s undeniable gift for creating strong unforgettable characters sent Vermilion Lies soaring to a 5 star read and one that I had a hard time putting down.
The book cover speaks volumes. Definitely tailored to fit the story and yummy as well. The visual and atmosphere of the scenes along the cold beach were my favorite. I can just picture turning around and seeing Dax on that boulder. Yea, definitely my favorite scene.
Vermilion Lies stands well on it’s own and easy enough to follow along. But once you get a taste of The Order Of The Senary series you’re going to want to know more about what happened with Blaze and Jon!
I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book, so I could give an honest review.
