The Vampires' Illuminant #3
Desired for Her Blood
All is lost. We are truly trapped.
I’m falling in love with all three of the powerful vampires captive with me—Ryker, my charming bad boy, Zuben, my elegant intellect, and Axe, my gruff and enormous bear shifter hybrid.
Our desires consume us, but we can’t live on passion.
All three men would die for me, kill for me. They can survive on my blood, but if we don’t escape, I’ll soon perish.
And the vengeful vampire trapping us won’t be satisfied until she knows we’re all dead.
The men’s tortured pasts are exposed, which only opens my heart to them further.
I’m transforming, discovering why I’m hunted, but time is running out, and the only possible solution to save us is dangerous and might kill me.

Are these books that good? No. Will I be reading the whole series anyway because unfortunately I’m invested? Yes.

The further I get into this series.... the better and better it gets. 😍 My rating for this book: 4,5 stars.
Still a lot of sex scenes 🤪 but the way Mara Leigh describes these interactions ~ and the characters and everything else! ~ is really really good... very creative.
Mara Leigh was a new-2-me author and I'm glad I found her!

This was an amazing book that grabbed me from the moment that I started reading. There was no putting it down until the last page was read. It moves along at a pace which is the perfect flow for the story being not too fast nor too slow. It has characters that are amazing and you will find yourself loving them no matter what. This book needs to be read, there is no doubt about it.

This series continues to dominate! I love the increased dynamics between the characters, the steam that's building and relationships that are so much more than physical. The plot develops amazingly, with twists that are unexpected and an ending that left my mind reeling with possibilities. I love Mara Leigh's writing and this story is definitely a top fave!

Desired for Her Blood is where it's at yall. It's a fantastically paced storyline that has ramped up my intrigue with each book. I have so many questions and yet this book starts to provide those answers. I'm feeling a variety of emotions as I read and enjoying the relationship development. I'm quite anxious for the next book!

Devoted to Her Heart: 4 ⭐️
Characters: 4 ⭐️
Spicy: 4.5 🌶️
In book four we get more details on the characters pass and how they are all survivors.
This is the spices book I have read so far this year.
Favorite quote from the book:
Chapter 10, page 83 “How did you end up a pirate?” “Answered an ad on Craig’s List.”

Book 3 Is So Good!
This is Book 3 of Ember’s story and she finds herself with two vampires and a vampire-bear hybrid. They are stuck in a dungeon with other vampires and shifters. After being discovered by the powerful Octavia, Ryker who is in love with Ember will do anything to get them free.
But the ending of this book ends of course in a cliffhanger!

Biting
This book will keep you on your toes, and biting your lips in anticipation. The will they or won’t they vibe charges through and ends in a crescendo. The ending is a hook that will leave you begging for more but not devastated.
