Betrayal, Frenzy, LoveI thought the biggest conflict I’d face in my vampire relationship was their past coming back into the picture, but I was dead wrong. Becoming a vampire shouldn’t have been possible, except I didn’t crave human blood . . . which was a problem.
Despite the danger my presence posed, my vampires vowed to protect me, even if the empire they’d built crumbled at their feet. Intrigue and deception overtook my life while I tried balancing my relationship with five vastly different vampires, but we’d fight with everything to protect the tenuous strands of happiness we’d found in each other.

Allie Santos writes dark romantasy and paranormal romance where the villain gets the girl—and doesn't apologize for it.
She's a sucker for angst, possessive MMCs, and a grovel that earns its HEA. When she's not writing, she's binging K-dramas and reading everything romance that crosses her path.
UM DOS MELHORES livros de vampiro que li. A série é simplesmente maravilhosa, o desenvolvimento é pertubador e único. Você ama e odeia em diversos graus de intensidade e não me arrependo de ler, mas de não ter lido antes. A autora foi incrível nas cenas dolorosas, tristes e de muito amor.
Eu sou apaixonada pelo cuidado que ela teve nas descrições sensuais, sexuais, românticas e carinhosas. Era como estar lá, ou assistindo pessoalmente o desenrolar de cada cena excitante e caliente.
Senti falta de ter mais cenas do Bastien (louco e também lúcido) com a Cat, mas não é algo que me incomodou grandemente, porém seria interessante um bonus explorando mais do que ele e a Cat tem a oferecer, assim como o Tobias. Acredito que os bem servidos em todos os aspectos foram Asher, Jax e Ren.
Me vi apaixonada por cada um dos vampiros psicóticos e adoraria um extra com todos eles aproveitando a eternidade.

If they weren't fictional I'd say every single character in this series is insane and abusive. But they're fictional, so I had the time of my life reading as they made the strangest and worst decisions possible over and over.
I hate read this series. When I started it, I thought it was an interesting premise. This girl moves next door to vampires who she’s running from and all of that. I thought all of the characters were pretty abusive. We’re supposed to believe that she finds out the vampire who literally sodomized her and kept her prisoner FOR MONTHS while feeding from her is in this house and when she finds out she’s like Ope! Oh well. One guy burns her house down and they all manhandle the shit out of her every chance they get.
The MFC is so whiny and ridiculous I couldn’t even root for her. All of these motherfuckers were so out of line all of the time and she was fine with it. The only character I remotely liked was Tobias. Her brother didn’t add anything for me at all. The sex scenes were like over the top (and I read a lot of smut). None of the characters were really developed and Imogens death was not satisfying enough. I wanted all of the blood that happens every other page. Anyway. It was a big “meh” for me.

Review for the entire series: Book 1 was horrible. Mmcs irredeemable. Book 2 was better, but not by much. Book 3 was actually good, but was ruined by the first two.
It's official, this series is my favorite vampire romance! It's like the author took the formula and reinvented it! This is what to read if you loved Twilight and Vampire Diaries but wanted it spicier and wanted the FMC to get all the guys. I read a lot, and can usually see where a plot is heading; but not with this series. It kept me in suspense with all the twists that I never saw coming! The character development was everything! You start out hating these guys and the in the end, you can't pick which one you love more. Without a doubt, you love Cat! She's smart, caring and so feisty! Book 3 picks right up where book 2 ended- in turmoil! Listen to me: trust the process! It's gonna hurt at first, but it's so worth it! There is a HEA and it's oh so good! And if you asked for more Bastien, oh you're getting him! There was such a huge twist that left me reeling. I had to put the kindle down, scream it out a little, and then resume reading. Just be prepared to lose yourself for a day, because once you pick up these books, you won't be able to put them down! Dark, twisty, and spicy but with all the heart and feels you get from the found family trope.
Excuse me while I go bawl over the fact this series is now complete! 😩😭 Welp there is only one thing left to do is read the series all over again! Yep! Sure will! I'm that obsessed! 🖤😈
First off. Why can't I have my own personal vampires at my disposal? Hm. Bastien. My dear sexy Bastien. You've always been in my eyesight since book 1 and let me tell you I was so pleased and crazy over getting to know him much, much more. Any girl deserves a vampire like Bastien.
As it ended with a crazy cliffhanger from book 2 we got a good look into the insanity that's to come. So much twists and turns. A holy crap moment. Ok maybe more than one holy crap moment. A whole lot of backstabbing and conniving antics really did throw me for a loop. The strong urge to throat punch Imogen many, many times too. Gah that chick got what she deserved! Bye Felicia!
This has got to be on your TBR list or downloaded now! Don't wait. Just get it now! Quickly!
This is my honest review in exchange for an ARC! 🖤🫦
i really enjoyed this series, i couldn’t put it down despite me struggling a bit recently to finish things in a timely matter. i even liked catalina even though im typically not a fan of the docile type fmc. i think she fit with the mmcs very well. the writing was well done though that’s to be expected from miss santos, i love many of her series. and the spice?? ugh, always a pleasure (literally).
i DO, however, wish there was more! the ending seemed very rushed in my opinion. like… all of a sudden, imogen is just dead and everything’s fine?? AND THEN I HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE IN THE NEXT FEW CHAPTERS?? AND THEN NOT EVEN AN EPILOGUE?? because there’s not another book coming, right?
if i’m incorrect and there is then disregard this part but if it’s really the end…. IM NOT DONE WITH THEM YET! i need more bastien!!! there wasn’t enough time spent with a loving jax!!!

Allie Santos!!!! How dare you give us such an amazing book! When I got this book, there was no way I was doing anything but reading it. No housework, no work, no taking care of the kids until I was finished. When I tell you I had it finished in 3 hours because I devoured it. Well, I never put it down.
We get to see Catalina come into her own in this book. Her love for the guys really brings them together and helps heal their hearts from past betrayal. She also helps bring Bastien back to himself. I love Bas. He is so sweet. But what seems like the happy ending for Crimson Coven is far from that. Especially when someone from the past shows back up trying to up end it all. This was a fight to the finish and it was brutal in the best ways.
I can’t believe this is the last book with the crimson vampires! I’m so sad to see it end!
I fell in love with the boys after reading Deadly Cravings and just continued to fall farther under their spell as I continued the series!
If twilight and true blood had a baby this would be it! Catalina and her vampires finally get the HEA they deserve in this book but not without trials and tribulations.
I was on my toes the entire time I read this book and the suspense almost took me out but oh it was so worth it!
Also who doesn’t want 5 yummy vamps who adore you ?
A perfect ending to a freaky story. The trial scene!! As they said in the book, “It’s like a Telanovella”! When the big bad is just a completely petty, scorned narcissistic woman I can’t help but think, “She’s just a girl”. So all of her insane actions just seem a bit more reasonable to me. I am someone who supports women’s rights but most importantly women’s wrongs. All my questions got answered, there was way more grovelling in this book, AND it has a Happily Ever After. I don’t know what more I ask for.
i liked this series. it was gritty & hot, and catalina's struggles throughout the books were a rollercoaster.
my biggest issue (okay, 2 issues) was the lack of groveling from the MMCs, like literally barely even an apology. even though i know they don't have the emotional range to understand her feelings, i felt like there should have been more time spent making all their misgivings up to her. she shouldn't have rolled over so easily at the sight of fangs & ripped off pants
also, in this last book, cat was ESPECIALLY annoying. holy hell, i didn't know if i could handle an entire book of her just being stupid and whiny about every little thing.
This one picks up right after book 2. Thankfully so, because I was dying to find out what happened now that Imogen was back. It was packed full of action, danger, and suspense. In addition there was betrayal, new discoveries are made, and truths come to light.
We also see more character growth and the relationships between Catalina and her men solidify. There was banter, chemistry, and so much spicy goodness. I think this was a great conclusion to the trilogy and the ending was quite satisfying!
I can't believe it's over, I want to stay with the Crimson Coven just a little longer!
After a pretty rough cliff hanger in book 2, we're thrown right in the deep end. Knowing Allie, we just have to hold on for the ride as she brings it all together for our girl, Cat. Those Crimson Coven boys prove just why the they're the most powerful group, but that doesn't mean Cat isn't taking some power for herself too!
This series is a testament to the growth and development of Allie as a writer and I cannot wait to see what she produces next!
▪️ Allie, Allie, Allie!!! The end of this absolutely fantastic series was nothing short of phenomenal! Following their fast-paced journey through betrayal, heat, love and sadness was truly a chef's kiss🤌🏼 I'm so sad that we've come to the end but I just know that these wonderful characters will live on with me forever! So go ahead and enjoy this magical series because you won't get any spoilers from me!🖤
Are there faults and issues with this book and the whole series? Yeah but this was the first series in a long time that actually felt like it was a good balance between plot and smut for me and finally a good vampire romance with a lot of tension. I do wish some things had been done differently but regardless of that it’s still a 5 star read for me purely because I enjoyed this book and series far more than I enjoyed a lot of the books I’ve read in the past year.
Also Ren and Jax are daddy. The epitome of big scary doms that are actually soft
Allie Santos is an auto buy author for me. She could write a grocery list and I would read it. But this trilogy has me in a choke hold. I LOVED the ending but I’m also devastated it’s over. Idk who I loved more-Asher or Bastian but her characters are so funny and quirky and well done. Absolutely obsessed with this coven and I hope we see more vampires from Ms. santos in the future!!!
I hated how Catalina acted at the beginning. She was very annoying and then that annoyance just carried through the rest of the book. There was some good moments, like how she turned into a vampire but the way she was acting just ruined her character for me.
Overall the trilogy was good. But I could tell that there were scenes that were more developed than others and the dialogue was confusing at times to follow. Not the epic ending I was expecting for Imogen but it was okay.
So many twists!! I did NOT expect the turns this book took and I am SO here for it! I devoured this book as fast as the entire series and if you have a thing for vampires, ottp, and slightly unhinged men than you NEED to read this series.
I love the fmc. She's soft but stubborn and slowly starts to understand that she isn't replaceable. Its also absolutely endearing how much the mmc's relearn what emotions are.
Omg so this series I have no words for other than I wish it was longer lol. The only way I can describe it is this. It’s a comfort read for me like I can get lost into the story and read forever. This book answers so many questions that we have had since book 1, I absolutely love it!! Def wish I could reread for the first time over and over!
Fantastic read and great ending to the Crimson Coven series. I was so drawn in to the drama, the suspense and the spice. All were amazing! I don’t think I have ever hated a vampire character as much as I hated Imogen lol. I was so happy with how this book ended. This is the first series I have read by this author but I am excited to read more!
There are going to be things about this book that people don't like. Totally understand, can see it, but for me this book was read in the way it was written. Yes she forgave them too soon, yes there was trauma that wasn't addressed, yes there was a lot of sex and less relationship building, but it was good for what it was written for. And this book was written well to end the trilogy.
Senti que ficou faltando algumas pontas soltas e com certeza esse livro 3 passou bem mais rápido que os outros porém foi incrível, amei demais todos plots que teve, a Catalina ter se transformado em vampiro e os caras ficarem ainda mais obcecados por ela foi o auge do livro.
RECOMENDO MUITO

WHAT AN AMAZING RIDE. I loved these grumpy, obsessive vampires so much. I might just steal them all for myself. I enjoyed this series so much and I am SO sad it has ended. I highly recommend reading the whole series if you like broody obessive Vampires and all the spice. 5 stars/5 spice.
This series was so good. So much action, spicy scenes, and a great ending. I hope there will be a book on some of the side characters. This author is so good and I look forward to reading more.
This series had drama, action a villainy villain and fantastic characters. I enjoyed reading this series a lot. This was a new author for me and I will definitely read more of her books.
Words cannot express how much I love this trilogy! Thankfully all the books had been released so I could continue the universe fresh! Couldn’t put it down and consumed my life for a week 😆🧛🧛♀️❤️🥵
This was lovely. All thr angst and drama - I'm here for it. And for someone FINALLY addressing the period situation in a human/vamp relationship. I could of .puth kisses you right then. So very very good. Thank you.
