Customer Reviews
Amazing beginning!
What an amazing start to this series. Going in to this book, I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew it was a vampire mafia type book, but I didn't know if I would like it. I'm so glad I gave it achance. The characters and story are so original, at least to me, and I was engaged and entertained the entire time I was reading it.
This book had plenty of steam, but it also had some romance and intrigue. I like the idea of the vampires having syndicates instead of covens. I like that, while vampires are known about, they don't necessarily parade around letting everyone know who is and isn't a vampire. It makes it seem a bit more mysterious than if they were just vampires in hiding.
I can't say I liked how the story ended. I don't like cliffhangers. However, since I know this is a prequel and Mila and Gabriel's story continues in the next book, I'm not too put off by it. I am excited to see if Gabriel can redeem himself and win back Mila's love, or if he screws the pooch and looses her all over again
