Bound in Death By Cynthia Eden

Bound In Death (Bound #5)

By Cynthia Eden

My rating: 5 of 5 stars




“Looks like two hundred years didn’t change the way that she felt about you, memory or no memory.”-Ryan

Bound In Death is the fifth book in the Bound series.This book tells the story of Alerac and Keira (aka Jane).

Keira is a vampire-to-be princess locked away in a castle waiting to turn.After the brutal murder of some werewolves, Alerac promises to avenge them and they only way to take out his target is through Keira.But neither of them expected what could happen.

Two hundred years later Alerac still remembers everything while Jane remembers nothing.How that's possible???Duh...Witches!!!Alerac will do anything to protect his mate while Jane will do anything to find out the truth!

But the past won't let them be.Old and new enemies surface determined to tear them apart.

A worth reading book with strong characters, both main and secondary ones.I especially liked Ryan, Jane's brother and Zoe, a werewolf from Alerac's pack who cannot shift.I would love to read more of them.Perhaps a novela?Yeah...

The book had a nice flow and there wasn't a moment that I got lost.Bound In Death can be read as a stand alone book as well.

Absolutely recommended to all vampire-werewolf lovers!!!

Blurb:

She can’t remember him…
He can never forget her.

For over two hundred years, alpha werewolf Alerac O’Neill has been searching for his mate, Keira McDonough, a woman who was taken from him and imprisoned by a dark vampire master. He’s hunted for her, endlessly, using vampire blood to extend his life. He has become a vicious predator, feared by all the supernaturals. His hold on reality seems to slip more each day because he is consumed by her.

Only…the woman he discovers in a small Miami bar isn’t the Keira that he remembers. In fact, this woman doesn’t remember anything. She calls herself Jane Smith, and she has no memory at all of Alerac—or of her own past.

Now that she’s been found, Alerac knows that his enemies are going to start closing in on her. Jane may try to act human, but she’s not. She’s a pureblood vampire princess, incredibly powerful and incredibly valuable. His enemies want to use her, her enemies want to destroy her, and Alerac—he just wants her.

If he can’t make her remember him, then Alerac has to seduce Jane into loving him once again. Because now that he’s found her, he’ll fight hell—and every sadistic vampire that stalks the night—in order to keep her safe at his side.

Some bonds go deeper than the flesh. Some go beyond life. Beyond death.

Jane will soon learn that a werewolf’s claiming…is forever.

Fear The Darkness By Alexandra Ivy

Fear the Darkness  (Guardians of Eternity #9)

By Alexandra Ivy

My rating: 5 of 5 stars




“You’re, without doubt, the worst liar I’ve ever met.”

“Hey.”

“Trust me, that’s a compliment, pet,”-Caine and Cassie

Fear the Darkness is the ninth book in the Guardians Of Eternity series.I wanted to read Cassie and Caine's story for so long a time.

Cassie is one of the four were quadruplets.Each sister has finally found happiness and it's time for Cassie to do so as well.Once a mere cur,Caine,has now become a pure blood were.Actually,this happend in Beyond The Darkness so I would suggest you read all the former books before reading this one.

After escaping from the cave Cassandra was being held,she and Caine head to Las Vegas where one of her visions,oh did I mention she's a prophet?,showed her that something important will occur.When their task there is completed they leave and fall right into a well organised trap.

I loved Cassie and Caine's story.Although it wasn't as humorous as the previous books were and I have to add that this book needed more Levet.In Fear the Darkness we only see him four or five times.But in the end he is the one that will save them all from the demon Lord.So why should you read it?The answer is simple.Lots of sexy vampires,werewolves,witches and one to-die-for hilarious gargoyle.

I'm looking forward to reading Darkness Avenged the tenth book in the series,Santiago and Nefri's story,available in June 1st 2013.

Blurb:

Her Visions Lead Her To Danger

Beautiful Cassandra is a Were, a prophet both vulnerable and defiant, blessed with visions that portend the fate of the world. A rare and delicate creature, Cassie must be protected at all costs. Enter Caine, a powerful cur turned pureblooded Were whose recent tangles with a demon lord have left him in serious need of redemption. Caine is duty-bound to keep Cassie out of danger—and that means resisting his potent urge to seduce her.

And Only He Can Save Her

As Cassie's mysterious visions lead them in and out of danger, Caine believes he has found his true mate, the woman with whom he is bound for all eternity. Cassie is both charmed and frightened by Caine's magnetism, and unsure if he—or her feelings for him—can be trusted. But Cassie can't afford to doubt Cain now. A deadly enemy bent on destruction is closer than they realize—and only they can keep chaos from ruling the world.

Bleed For Me By Cynthia Eden

Bleed For Me  (Loved By Gods #1)

By Cynthia Eden

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



“And who might you be, my lovely?”

“Terese Lafitte.”

“It’s a pleasure to—”

“Cut the shit and stop hitting on her,”- Apollo

Another 5 stars for Cynthia Eden.

Bleed For Me is the first book in Loved By God series.Although it is a short story,it definitely isn't boring.

Apollo,the God of the sun,is bored and hanging out in Are's bar,the God of war.Terese Lafitte needs blood and the only way to get it is to find a willing host.And who's better than a God?The biggest irony of the story is that they are both shocked when they realise that their partner isn't human.Well and the fact that the God of sun got paired up with a vampire.What can I say!You can't choose whom you fall for.

Bleed For Me is a story of romance and full of funny moments as well.Especially a certain scene between Apollo and Ares.What I really liked though,was Poseidon.Poor him!He wants so bad to find his mate that in his attempt to do so becomes agitated.In this book we also meet Artemis,Apollo's sister.

I absolutely recommend this book and I look forward to reading the other books in the series,especially Poseidon's.

Blurb:

The Greek gods are alive and well. But, unfortunately for the gods, the humans have all but forgotten their glorious existence…and this fact really pisses off the all-powerful, immortal beings.
Apollo, the Greek god of the sun, takes one look at the mysterious Terese Lafitte and knows that he wants her. Even in this modern century, a god takes what he wants. But Terese isn’t a mortal, not any longer. As a newly turned vampire, her attraction to Apollo is downright lethal because desire arouses not just her body, but also her bloodlust.

But Apollo likes a woman with bite, and now that he’s found Terese, he’s not about to let the little vampiress out of his sight or out of his bed. When Terese’s psychotic vampire ex begins to stalk them, Apollo knows that he will have to use all of his strength to keep her safe. Lucky for Terese, Apollo has more power than she could ever have imagined.

When you trifle with the sun god, you will get burned.
