Unveiled

Master Chronicles #2

by Jamie Craig

Sequel to Amber Allure Best-Seller, Master Of Obsidian......Beauty is in the eye of the master...Gideon Keel and Jesse Madding have seen dozens of gruesome crime scenes over the years, but nothing compares to the grisly discovery they make in a small apartment above a sporting goods store. The body has clearly been put on display, and clues in the apartment indicate that while the woman was dying, party guests were enjoying rich caviar and expensive champagne. The two men are mystified. They receive help from an unexpected source--a young woman they rescue from an auction at the vampire club, Sangre. Emma Coolidge is determined to save her sister from the same monsters Gideon and Jesse are hunting. While both men are utterly fascinated by her beauty, her intelligence, and her rare talent as an empath, they value her for her friendship. The three plan a sting operation to infiltrate the small group of "art connoisseurs" by sadistically turning Jesse into a living work of art, but will it be enough to save Chicago from more vicious murders in the name of beauty?

Reviews

I have mixed feelings about this book. I'm not sure if I am going to continue this series because I am not that interested in the Emma character. The plot/action in this book was excellent, and there were some really hot scenes. This just doesn't live up to my expections because Master of Obsidian was sooo good.

Unfortunately, this book doesn't live up to the promise of the first in the series, Master of Obsidian. It veers off course and a main female character is introduced, herein. While she doesn't engage directly in the S/M play of the 2 main male characters, it's clear she's about to. Due to the fact that she's present so often, however, it feels like a M/F/M novel, more's the pity. This is where I get off the bus.

Another intriguing vampire m/m bdsm novel concerning vampire Gideon and his partner Jesse and some grotesque human art showings. Jesse is particularly attracted to a beautiful female empath in this book. I could have done without the female interest myself, spoils my m/m..

'Gideon pressed into him from behind, one hand like steel on Jesse's hip, the other jerking Jesse's coat collar to the side, and then he was sucking at Jesse's neck, biting and licking at the exposed skin.'

DNF Reason -- m/f content (I should have known from the last one, but I read the first book when I was still reading some m/f)

No rating. It's MMF, which I currently don't like to read.

I already know the direction this serie will take and since I'm not a fan of m/m/f I was a little reluctant to know about Emma. I have to confess, I found myself to love her, she's strong and intelligent and just seems enough naughty (an important point with these boys lol).

The sex was less present this time to let place of a more big place for plot. I look forward to see what the addition of Emma will do.

As for the plot, thin again this time with some scene that lack of logic (ex: when Gideon buy Emma he gives a false name, so that people don't suspect him, but when he go to see Andre he gives his true name...Hum, I'm pretty sure that Gideon is a popular (impopular) vampire and that the population of vampire in Chicago's not enough big for that someone didn't heard about him, and even if that happen, why risk that the bad guy research the name on internet?)

[Karen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Like the first book in the series, this one left me wanting more: more world building (I still don't know how vampires are made), more exploration of the relationship between the two main characters outside of the figurative bedroom. The plot development I was spoiled for turned out not to ruin the focus as I feared it would, at least in this installment, so that was good. The balance of scenes that pushed my squick button to ones that didn't was a little more to the squick side this time; if that continues in the next book I might have to drop this series.

[Stuart Mcgrigor]

Given the genre, no pretensions of being 'high art'. But a none-the-less fun romp. If mmf is not your thing, then you aren't going to enjoy this one. But of course if mmf (with vampires) sounds like fun, then by all means: Read On MacDuff.

With the change in circumstances, I thought things could get better. They didn't, and I ended up quickly skipping most of the book just to know what the ending was.
