The Hunter Chronicles #2
Dark Desires
Jasmine Hunter finds herself knee deep in a decadent vampire nest in Prague. A killer lurks the medieval city and is preying on blood donors who frequent the home of the local Vampire Mistress.
With her teammates from Scotland Yard in tow Jasmine, must attempt to discover the murderer's identity.
But will things go to plan? Sex dungeons, submissive human pets, and sexy dominant males are a lot for a rookie to cope with.
Especially when Eric is the last person she expects to see…
Requested to assist with the hunt for a vicious serial killer by an old friend, Eric is left speechless to find Jasmine offering herself up as food. The attraction between them is burning as red hot as before, and his lust for the feisty female is just as deep.
More disturbing, his emotions which he normally has leashed, once more slip in her presence. Yet this time they feel different. Darker, primal, and savage yet Eric cannot explain why. The insidious pull of the other predators around him is also more than a sweet temptation he finds himself unable to resist.
Combining forces, Jasmine and Eric must play the parts of Master and submissive.
But nothing is as it seems.
Can they work out who the killer is in a household full of deception and secrets before it is too late? Or will a price be paid in blood….
*** 18 & over only. Contains sexual scenes, light BDSM, sex and some violence. ***

Dark Desire is the second book in The Hunter Chronicles series by Claire Marta. This installment is filled with even more danger, action, suspense, and sex! If this sounds like your idea of a good time, you are sure to love this captivating sequel!
The story picks up a few months after Jasmine last saw Eric in Paris. Their one night of passionate love making is something she will never forget. It’s all she can think about, and she misses Eric more everyday. Hoping that he would contact her again seems to have been foolish thinking on her part. Not that she could really be mad at him, one night was all he ever promised.
Her new assignment has her scantily clad in a vampire nest in Prague. She, along with her teammates from Scotland Yard, are investigating a series of murders by what appears to be a Ripper. The victims all seem to be human girls originating from this particular nest. Jasmine and her friend, Gemma, are undercover as blood donors trying to find any information they can to help them with the case.
Little did Jasmine know, Eric and his friend, Asier, had been summoned by the Mistress of this nest to hunt down the very same serial killer. Eric has been missing Jasmine just as much as she has missed him. Work has prevented him from getting back to London. Not to mention, he doesn’t really know what to do with these new feelings. Wanting a woman for more than one night or for more than one thing is a foreign concept to the usually cold as ice vampire.
When they meet again, sparks fly! Overcome with need, they rush to Eric’s room to satisfy their mutual desires. Afterward, he explains that this job is way too dangerous for her to do alone, and he gets her to agree to stay undercover as his human companion. They can both work the case, but she will be under his constant protection. Eric neglects to tell her everything that being a companion entails. These are some kinky vampires!! Instead of being repulsed by their games and sexual proclivities as she anticipated, she finds herself increasingly aroused.
Human girls from the nest are still dropping like flies. Eric can barely get away from the mistress who seems to be more interested in bedding him then having him find the killer. Other men, particularly Asier, take an immediate interest in Jasmine. Soon, emotions are running high, jealousy rears its ugly head, and everyone is at each others' throat! Between the vampires and the serial killer, they will be lucky to make it out of there alive!
Dark Desires is a fantastic dark paranormal romance! The story is erotic, intriguing, suspenseful, and action packed. The writing is alluring and kept my eyes glued to the page from beginning to end.
The characters were three dimensional, and it was easy to feel the connections between them. Eric is sexy, dominating, and complex. Jasmine is strong, beautiful, fiery, and foul mouthed. Together these two will set your kindle on fire! The secondary characters are endearing and hilarious. Twitch, Jasmine’s perverted best friend, brought a smile to my face in every scene.
I didn’t give this a full five stars because the ending pissed me off to no end. I was like wtf? Plus, Jasmine and Eric need to get on the same damn page already! Regardless of that, I had a great time reading this story! If you liked Frostbite, there is no doubt in my mind that you will love this book! I would also recommend Dark Desires to fans of dark paranormal romance or paranormal romance in general.

4.5 Stars!
This is the second book in the series, and Jasmine and Eric once again combine forces, but this time they are undercover in a Vampire Nest in Prague seeking a serial killer of the Ripper variety.
This book is a lot more steamy than the first, Jasmine is having a sexual awakening, and we not only have the very hot Vamp Eric, but Asier will have you all a flutter as well. Jealousy and manipulation are very much in play in the Nest which lead to some very complicated emotions. You need to read to get the full story!
As with the first book there's a lot of excitement and action, the hunt for the killer is fast paced and Jasmine finds herself in a number of tricky situations. Again the side characters provide entertainment with Conall and Gemma having a spark (lets hear more about that) and Twitch is his usual pervy, cheeky self!
I enjoyed this book more than the first, I liked the pace a bit better and there were some particularly hot moments. Toward the end I wasn't impressed with Eric's behaviour - lets hope things improve with the next book, and he can redeem himself!

I am so in love with this series! I read book one, Frostbite, and it took me some time to get to book two on my TBR list and now that I have, I wish I would have gotten to it a lot sooner! Dark Desires continues the story of Jasmine, who works for Scotland Yard. She's on a new mission and guess who's back...yes! Eric...sexy, beautiful Eric. The sparks are still there! I love how their paths cross on this new mission and I love how Claire Marta weaved in new characters...like the Italian. The title is perfect for what Jasmine and Eric were going through- wow! I won't be giving anything away because I don't do spoilers, but their connection grows and then the twist that happens is shocking! I must have book three! Great job to the author for keeping the reader guessing and weaving suspense and romance together in such a can't-put-it-down way! Definitely recommend this series!

Another scorcher! Wow! Claire does not mess about when it comes to her characters getting down and dirty. Jasmine is good at getting herself into tricky situations and the vampire is more than happy to take control and see her through them. Bring on book 3!
*I was a little disappointed with the number of spelling errors in this book, some causing a glitch in reading when having to reread for clarification. I don't remember seeing as many in the first book...

When we last saw Jasmine, she was finishing up her assignment in Paris. Of course she did more than just her job in Paris.
You can't call the ending of FrostBite a cliff-hanger, it ends after the story is completed, but of course, we found that there is more than meets the eye. This becomes more apparent in the next book in the series. I don't know how, but it seems that Claire Marta pulled out all the stops with this book.
I was able to get my hands on an early copy of Dark Desires, and let me tell you, Claire is not playing around with this book. She looks sweet and innocent, but really she's a dirty little Brit.
Let's start at the beginning. Jasmine and her team are investigating a serial killer in Prague, and they end up in the middle of a vampire nest. The last person Jasmine expects to see is Eric, the vampire she met months ago in Paris.
As one might expect the chemistry level between these two are off the charts. My love for Eric came back full force, from the first page until the last I was as entranced with him as Jasmine was-even though she pretended she wasn't.
I wasn't sure what I was expecting when I first picked up this book, I knew it was going to have a very different feel than the first book, but I figured, oh I will get through this easily. I couldn't have been more wrong. Marta pulled most of the stops out with this one. I have a feeling she's going to through some major twists in the others books that are going to both please me and piss me off.
As it goes, whenever I read a book by an author I love I never want it to end, with Dark Desires, I was dying to find out what was going on, because Claire Marta has the skill to throw in just enough suspense to keep you guessing the whole time. I thought I had the ending plotted out a few times, I couldn't have been more wrong.
When I got to the end of this book I was in shock. I think that's the best way to put it. I did not, could not believe that Claire threw that ending in. When I say I'm dying for the third book already I mean it. I read Dark Desires two weeks ago and instead of helping me, it made my addiction that much more. I am addicted to the words of Claire Marta.
There's action, fight scenes that I love, and of course sex. I just have to say that vampire sex is the best sex. Don't believe me? Go read this series.
There's such a formal way that Claire Marta strings her words together, it's so different than other books you read, but it works. There are so many books, especially in the paranormal genre where the writing takes a backseat to the actual story. Not in this series. The writing makes it better, you are able to read the words as they flow into each other.
I don't know what to say about this book. I loved it, but I wasn't surprised by that. It was Eric and Jasmine, of course I was going to love it.
From the writing, to the action, to the suspense Claire Marta kept me on my toes. I can only imagine what the next book is going to bring.
All in all, if you haven't started this series you need to. There is only so much I can give you without you actually reading it.

This is the second book in the Series and wow what a hot and steamy one it is plus full
of suspense mixed in.
This picks up a few months after Jasmine last saw Eric in Paris and she's been trying to get on with her life after their night of passion. She can't forget him though and hopes he will contact her again.
She's on a new assignment for Scotland Yard and has to go undercover into a Vampire Nest in Prague. Her team is investigating a series of murders by what appears to be a ripper. All the victims seem to be human girls from a particular vampire nest. She's sent in with her friend Gemma as undercover blood donors.
She's completely shocked when she enters the den and finds Eric there along with a colleague Asier. They have been invited by the nest Mistress to investigate the murders. All his cool reserve almost goes out the window soon as he sees Jasmine, he's missed her as much as she's missed him. This is all new territory for him, a very strange concept to his cold as Ice attitude towards women.
Sparks fly as soon as they soon as they are together. They decide to work together but Eric neglects to tell Jasmine everything she needs to know about being a human companion for a vampire. Her new duties could give Mr Grey a run for his money as these vampires are quite the kinky bunch. Jasmine finds herself strangely aroused instead of Repulsed.
With girls dropping like flies, a nest mistress intent on having Eric in her bed, sex games in the dungeon, emotions run high, jealousy makes some appearances and it all leads to a great action packed read.
This is a great story filled suspense, action, intrigue and highly erotic. Some great characters in this book, Jasmine is a great heroine, she's sting, beautiful, fiery and she compliments Eric well with his sexy, dominating controlled personality.
Was slightly disappoint in Eric's behaviour at the end, I thought he really knew and understand Jasmine. I hope he redeems himself in the next book. He has some serious thawing to do along with grovelling.

‘He wanted to ruin her for all other males. So he would be the only one she would ever crave. She was his. His to pleasure. His to bite. ‘
Dark Desires is book two in the Hunter Chronicles series and although you could probably get away with starting with this book you will be certain things you will miss if you skip it. This paranormal world provides so many options for future books and the relationship between Jasmine and Eric has developed with more layers and twists to explore.
This book is set with both Jasmine and her team at Scotland Yard investigating a “Ripper” killing blood donors in Prague. Little did she know when she went undercover as a blood donor she would thrust right back into the arms of Eric the Vampire who left her with not even a goodbye the last time they were together. Eric is also investigating the ripper and very quickly realizes he will not be able to deter Jasmine from her own investigation.
The nice thing about this book is it kept you guessing on who the villain truly was and even when you find out there are still more secrets to discover. Another element about this book was not only Eric was trying to win the affections of Jasmine but so was Asier who co-rules London with Eric. Time and time again I found myself wondering who would be the better suitor. Also the secondary characters are still great and I hope they get their own books in the future especially Twitch.
“Fine, OK I admit it. I’m in love with you.” Twitch lowered his voice seductively and spread his arms wide. “Come here big boy and make me feel like a real woman.”
With all the twists and turns, great fight and actions scenes this makes for a great continuation of the series. And don’t get me wrong the chemistry was amazing and the sex scenes were hot but I almost felt like they took away from the story a little bit. The guts of the story and the world that is being developed is so great that the sex and constant anticipation of it took away from the magic of the book for me a bit. All in all I would certainly suggest checking this one out.
“If you were mine, I would never leave you unprotected. Something so rare, so precious should be guarded.”

Dark Desires was a great 5 star read.
Jasmine is working with her team to find the “Ripper” which has put her in a vampire nest, she is not feeling comfortable and is having second thoughts. She can’t stop thinking about Eric the hot vampire she had a one night stand with a few months ago in Paris. Has he forgotten about her? Has he moved on?
Eric has been asked to help hunt the serial killer, he is very surprised but pleased to see Jasmine as one of the women at the nest to be a blood donor. He moves quickly to claim her for himself and oh my when he get’s her to his room the clothes pretty much fall off. He has to have her, she is all he has been thinking about the past few months.
Eric and Jasmine come to an agreement that she will be his human companion while he is at the nest. This will keep her protected and they can work together. Although things aren't always what they seem especially when magic is in the air.
This story heats up and the connection between these two heats up. We see some light BDSM, and hot sex scenes. There is lots of action and I loved Jasmine’s strength and humor. It’s chicks before dicks after all. . The secondary characters added a great element to the story. Claire Marta pulls you right in with her writing. I have to say I was a little shocked with the ending, I did not expect that. It does end in a cliffhanger. Thank you for the great read Claire Marta.

There are not enough stars for Dark Desires. Giving five stars does not do it justice. I would say this book is even better then the first, and i dont know how that is possible. I also want to point out that this is not your typical vampire book. To be honest I have been bored with them as they all seem the same. Not so with Claire Marta Dark Desire. This vampire story is so unique and entralling. You will become addicted to the Hunter Chronicles reguardless of being a fan of vampire novels or not. Marta is just that good.
One thing i love about the Hunter Chronicles is that even though it's a series, each book ends sort of like a stand alone in the sence that they have a problem- solve problem- end book. I love the slow build of the grand scheme. It's not an overwhelming amount of info but it trickles in keeping you desperate for the next piece of the puzzle.
In Dark Desires, Jasmine is on an assignment in Prague to infiltrate a vampire nest. Women are being murdered by vampires and Jasmine and her team will stop at nothing to find the murder. Much to her suprise, she runs into Eric and the sexual tension flies. It's explosive, all consuming and oooohhhhh so HOT! Working together to find the murderer, all the while battling desires, emotions and gaining the attention of Asier, Jasmine has her work cut out for her.
I am loving the interaction between Jasmine, Eric and Asier. Can't wait to see what developes there. I even love the little twist Marta wrote regaurding Eric at the end!
Everything in the book was perfect. The details were discriptive to the point of pulling you in the story. The characters are beyond engaging and likeable and the plot was gripping and realistic.
This is a must read your-life-has-no-meaning-till-you-do kinda book. Claire Marta is an author to watch and dare I say, one click buy!
One thing i love about the Hunter Chronicles is that even though it's a series, each book ends sort of like a stand alone in the sence that they have a problem- solve problem- end book. I love the slow build of the grand scheme. It's not an overwhelming amount of info but it trickles in keeping you desperate for the next piece of the puzzle.
In Dark Desires, Jasmine is on an assignment in Prague to infiltrate a vampire nest. Women are being murdered by vampires and Jasmine and her team will stop at nothing to find the murder. Much to her suprise, she runs into Eric and the sexual tension flies. It's explosive, all consuming and oooohhhhh so HOT! Working together to find the murderer, all the while battling desires, emotions and gaining the attention of Asier, Jasmine has her work cut out for her.

Dark Desires is the second book in The Hunter Chronicles and it launches us straight back into Jasmine's world. Like last time Jasmine finds herself in a whole heap of trouble again!
Dark Desires is set a few months after Jasmine had last seen Eric. They shared an unforgettable night of passion then Eric took off. Jasmine misses Eric and hopes that she will hear from him soon.
Jasmine's newest assignment has her in the heart of a vampire nest in Prague. She and her team are after a murderer who seems to be killing human women close to this nest. So Jasmine and one of the other girls from the team are undercover as blood donors.
The mistress of this nest has summoned Eric and another vampiria; Asier; to the nest to conduct their own investigation and to track down the killer. Jasmine and her team have no idea that Eric is in the nest. When Jasmine arrives both her and Eric are equally shocked to see the other one there.
Who will find the killer first? Will the mistress of the nest get her claws into Eric? And why oh why is Asier so interested in Jasmine?
Jasmine is fiery and strong willed, she doesn't like being controlled or told what to do. Eric is hot, sexy and dominating! He likes to have control on everything but he can not control Jasmine. I think this is why they make such a hot couple.
The other characters play their parts well. I'd like to see more of them in the future books, especially Asier, Twitch and Jemma. Twitch's humour is present throughout and never fails to bring a smile to my face or to make me laugh out loud.
The plot is well planned and well laid out. The events flow effortlessly and are incredibly believable. Eric and Jasmine's relationships anything but plain sailing, but then is any relationship? Claire's writing style continues to be full of emotion and captivating from the start, making reading her work an absolute pleasure!

Dark Desires is book two in The Hunter Chronicles Series. It picks up months later after Eric and Jasmine's night in Paris. We come to find out that Eric has had no communication with Jasmine since that night. Which has left Jasmine a little confused and frustrated.
Eric is still hot but doesn't seem to understand women very well. He is still very protective and is just beginning to realise what he wants.
It seems that Jasmine has decided that she is done waiting on Eric. She dives into work. She wants to prove herself to her coworkers and her boss that she can be a great field agent.
On her first assignment, she goes undercover in a vampire nest that leads her right back to Eric. As they start working together to track down a killer, Eric starts having stronger feelings than he has ever had before. He is not sure what is going on with him just that he has to have Jasmine.
Claire Marta has seamlessly put a cast of characters that work so well together. There is a really family feeling between Jasmine, Twitch and Gemma. Their banter is so funny. There was also a laugh out loud moment between Twitch and Eric that even when I think about it now brings a smile to my face. New characters were also added to this book: Asier, Kane and Conall. There is a complicated relationship between Asier and Eric when it came to Jasmine. Each want to keep her safe but there are other forces at play that interrupt a long lasting friendship.
This book as mystery and suspense. It will be interesting to see where Clarie Marta takes Eric and Jasmine's relationship in the future.
I was given this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

4.5 stars
Ms. Marta is the best debut author of the year for me. I just love her characters. Jasmine is trying to solve the case of the "ripper" when crosses with Eric once again.
Jasmine is on assignment with her team in Prague to infiltrate a vampire nest. With donors being murdered she and a coworker pose as donors to get in the nest. The last person, err vampire, she expects to see is Eric but when she does it's an explosive reunion. It's a way in for Jasmine and her team that they have been looking for.
Eric and Asier are welcomed to the Prague nest by the Mistress of the city because of their history together. But when Jasmine shows up all bets are off and Eric claims Jasmine for himself as his human donor/ pet. This is when things really get interesting. Eric "prepares" Jasmine for all the things she is going to see/do...NOT, she is taken off guard by what she is expected to participate in. When Asier comes into to the dungeon scene let's just say sparks fly!!!
Action, suspense and intrigue are what you can expect from this book with a bit of BDSM elements thrown in. Warning their is a cliffhanger and you need to read Frostbite to get the whole picture.

Star Rating - ****.5
Dark Desires picks up where Frostbite left off. Jasmine has completed her task force in Paris and has moved into investigating a possible ripper murder in Prague. Eric has been put to the back of her mind having not seen him since 'that night' but no man has ever compared since. Finding herself undercover in a vampire nest as a human donor Jasmine is petrified to be chosen until she senses him and then her emotions do a total 180 and she is trembling with a different kind of feeling.
Will Jasmine, Eric and the rest of the team be able to catch the killer before it's too late?
I don't want to say anymore about this book without giving away spoilers but wow oh wow did the author knock this out of the park. I couldn't wait to get stuck into this second instalment and definitely had a few late nights after not being able to put it down. The story is fast paced and even hotter than the first, if that's at all possible. We even get some new hot characters to drool over as well. The story ends on a slight cliff hanger but it's the perfect end to make me desperate for book 3. Please don't keep me waiting too long Claire?!

Eric, Jasmine, and Twitch are back in the second heart-pounding installment of The Hunter Chronicles!
The story opens with Jasmine infiltrating a vampire next in Prague. In an attempt to gather intel to find a serial killer preying on human females, she offers herself up as both a food source and companion to a bloodsucker. The job grows increasingly complicated when she finds Eric in the crowd of eligible masters. Once they realize they're both there to find the killer, she hesitantly allows him to assert ownership by collaring her.
What follows Eric's claim on Jasmine is a tale full of suspense and action wrought with red-hot sexual tension between them. I was happy to see characters from Ms. Marta's previous book show up and loved the news ones that cropped up as the plot unfolded. This is a strong, fine addition to the series. I found this story gripping and couldn't turn pages fast enough to find out how it would end. And, as I've come to expect from this author, it ended with a bang that has left me eagerly anticipating the next book in this series.

Wow!What an explosive sequel to Frostbite!If you loved Frostbite, then you will enjoy this one even more.Trust me, Dark Desires was even better than the first book!
Dark Desires begins a few months after the events of Frostbite and this time Jasmine is in Prague!(love the country <3)
This is one of her important assignments where she has to go undercover in a vampire nest, and as a rookie she wants to prove herself.Some rogue vampire has been killing many blood donors of the vampires in the Prague nest.Jasmine and her teammates have to uncover the murderer's identity.
As she goes undercover as one of the donor girls with her friend Gemma, she finds out that Eric is also there in the nest and is working to find the killer.They have a steamy reunion ;)
Eric takes her under his protection and after resolving their issues about Eric leaving Jas in Paris abruptly after their one night together, they decide to work together to find the rogue.
They suspect that it is a ripper, since the attacks point towards a vampire that may have gone mad.
Eric and Jasmine rekindle their relationship and Jasmine has to play the role of his sub with Eric as the Master.But as the murders begin to escalate and it's a race against time to find the killer, will Jasmine be endangering her life along with her heart?
I loved the way the author has combined mystery,sensuality and romance.This book was so much more steamier than the first and so well done!There is just light BDSM not hardcore, if you're apprehensive about that.
I loved the introduction of Asier in this novel.Quite an intriguing character!I hope we see him in the next!I was so glad to see Twitch again!
The mystery really had me at the edge of my seat and kept me guessing till the end!
Though I loved the chemistry between Jas and Eric, I just hope their relationship develops further in the upcoming books.We didn't get much background on Eric beyond the basic details in these two books so I'm hoping we learn more about my favorite, sexy character.
Jasmine has grown so much over the course of the two books!I loved seeing her slowly develop her confidence and abilities!
The ending was awesome!(many might not agree with me)But I loved how Jasmine stood up for herself!Can't wait to see how Eric makes up for his stupidity in the end lol!
Dear author, if you're reading this, please release the next book soon!I can't wait to see where Jasmine and Eric go from here!! :D

While I try and scrape my jaw off the floor, allow me to leave a review for Dark Desires.
Jasmine is back and this time the Scotland Yard Crew is in Prague. Jasmine must stay in a local Vampire's nest, ruled by Mistress Lida, to help and track down a ripper, a (suspected) vampire who is taking down blood donors in the city. In order for her to stay in the nest, Jasmine is to be Eric's pet. She may have bitten off more than she could chew as this vampire nest expects their pets to be very submissive. Her first night in the nest has her sitting on a table in a scantily clad bikini, legs splayed, at the mercy of Eric. This is an incredibly sexy scene as she is not the only pet propped on the table, however she is the only one that is clothed, if a bikini counts as clothing.
One particular vampire has caught Jasmine's eye, the sexy Asier with violet eyes. He is captivating, sexy, and gets Jasmine out of more jams than she can count. He almost has you cheering for him instead of Eric at times. But that is because Lida has been scheming, and has using magic. Jasmine has fallen in love with Eric and Lida is intent on stealing him away. Meanwhile the ripper has taken down more girls from the nest and it is getting very tense for everyone in the mansion.
This is a well written, sexy and suspenseful tale. Marta has brought the ever funny mage, Twitch, from Frostbite and he is in full swing in Dark Desires. We are left with some lingering effects of the spell Lida had on Eric and anxious to see what lays in store for Jasmine and Eric.

I was a fan with book 1 and now I’m completely addicted to this series. The twists Claire Marta incorporates ratchets the suspense further and the chemistry from book 1 is even better this time around. I am left in awe of how Claire Marta is able to write so fluidly while incorporating such complexity.
The character development is intense across the board. I could feel and imagine every character—primary or secondary. I love how even more information is shaded in throughout the book. The world building really sung with book 2. It was more intricately put together and so very vivid. It was easy to imagine the world Claire Marta created because of the depth she gives in her writing.
The story hooked me and kept me going, I couldn’t stop for anything. Sleep was not necessary when I had these words in front of me. I may have needed a bit more coffee the next day but it was worth it.
5 stars for a vivid and intense read!

I must say, I enjoyed this second book quite a bit more than the first in the series. It's sexier, there's more grit and action.
I really love the development of the relationship between Eric and Jasmine. Seeing a more sensitive side to Eric was a joy.
The introduction of the new characters was another highlight. However, I'm not sure I like Asier! There's something about him that doesn't feel trustworthy.
Claire's style of writing works really well to draw you in to this story. Can't wait to see what happens next.

I really enjoyed this book. The plot continues on from book 1 and the transition from book 1 to 2 rolls very smoothly. Jas finds out more about the Vampire world. I find myself curious about her and her birthmark. Not only that, but about her power and how she seems to have a gravitational pull on everyone she meets. They either want to protect or kill her. I can't wait to find out what's coming next in book 3.

ohhh my Lawd! HOT HOT HOT HOT! That dining room scene! Whew. Ok now that I got that out of my system. ok no I didn't. WHEW! Warning. You will need to take a cold shower after reading this book. Jasmine and Eric are back at it again! Plus, there is added Hotness! Who is hotter than hot. Who I need as my personal boy toy along with Twitch. Sorry. Got a bit sidetracked there. Read the book. You can thank me later ;)

This series just gets better and better. I have read books 1 and 2 in two days. I can't stop.
I have a love/ hate relationship with Jasmine. One minute I want to hug her and the next moment I want to kick her butt when she puts her life I danger.
Then there is , Eric. The handsome, stubborn , pig headed vamp.
What an awesome series.
