Shadowsend Vampire Clan: Complete Series

by L.A. McGinnis

My deepest secret is his darkest temptation.

Seven years ago, I ran from my fate—from my enemies, my crimes, and the mate I loved more than life itself. Leaving Rowan Forge was the only way to save him, to save everyone. Now the High Council of Vampires has dragged me back to face the king I rejected, his brother who despises me, and my best friend who no longer trusts me.

With ancient enemies closing in and a blood feud threatening to ignite a deadly war, I'm forced into a political marriage with Rowan, both of us compelled to play the council's dangerous game.

In a moment of weakness, I make a desperate deal with a savage Elder vampire, trading one nightmare for another.

Now I'm caught between the males I abandoned and the vicious vampire who only wants to use me—Nikolai, my most treacherous enemy and the one vampire dangerous enough to claim my heart. As my deepest secret threatens to surface, I'm walking a razor's edge between salvation and destruction.

The Elders want to control me. The Council wants to use me. My enemies want me dead.

But these four ruthless, fiercely possessive vampires?

They want something far more precious—my heart, my body, my very soul.

And they won't stop until they own every piece of me.

Reviews

[Goth Gone Grey · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's been a while since I read this author's work - that was a mistake on my part as I completely lost myself in the text, to the cost of all mundane life around me.

It's all good; I didn't really want clean laundry anyway.

The book starts relatively quickly, with a sarcastic, strong young female hiding a secret. The world building is strong, making it easy to envision the scenes and locations vividly.

It's a multiple POV book, which often is difficult as every character reads and feels the same - not here, they're all fully developed, unique beings.

This world merges with other works by the same author, and I forgot how much I loved Deston until he appeared, thank you SO much for that. I swoon.

For it being a 4 book collection, I devoured (ha! get it?) it too quickly, leaving me wanting more.

It's a world ripe with magic, paranormal creations, and yet the found family is the strongest aspect, and my favorite.

Smut level? The feeding scenes alone are more erotic than most romance novels, sheer perfection.

dnf at 21% just can't wade through all of the machinations. Characters constantly having to recover from horrendous injuries/torture is not enough for me. Maybe I'll give it another shot in the future.
