A Lucian Bane book never fails to deliver, you will have people who read my reviews and think I say this just cause he is one of my favourite authors but that is not the case. I am always honest if not brutally so sometimes without meaning to be.
This is a short read that is sure to leave you desperately wanting more! It’s sure going to be hot!
Our two leads are Krypt and Mary. They have met once before when they were younger, Krypt knew her other brother who unfortunately has passed away and left behind a hell of a lot of trouble for his sister. They were drawn to each other once before, will they be again?
Will Krypt be able to keep Mary safe? Or is it really him she’ll need saving from.
Krypt sure has a coffin full of secrets and more! He is mysterious, dangerously intriguing and I am on board for the ride! His family want his to act and do things a certain way but he is just their wee weirdo. Who is so cold he might just be scorching!
Mary seems so sweet and innocent but who knows what this series will bring. I have a feeling there is more to her than meets the eye. She has no idea the trouble her brother has left behind for her or the danger she’s in. She is caring, beautiful and I can’t wait to get to know more!
So many questions and no answers yet.. I cannot wait to ripped them wide open as the series goes on.

I loved reading this short story. This is an author that I have loved reading from the first book I picked up by him. One of my favorite things by this author is his writing skills and his ability to pull me into the story. This story is no different. It is the first book in the series and it certainly packs a punch. The characters are relateable and had me coming back for more. A story that is engaging and fast paced. A story about revenge but also with a twist of romance as well. There is great growth with the plot throughout which made the story easy and entertaining to read. This is so worth the pick up and I can't wait for the next book in this series. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Krypt Series, Book 1, Review
I wasn’t sure what to make of this book, I had heard that Krypt was a strange character with odd proclivities and the way the story begins (The Abduction) I thought he was the bad guy. But if you read a lot of Lucian Bane books you cannot assume anything because you won’t be right. He can write a twisting-turning book like no other author I have read. As the book progressed, I was constantly asking myself WHAT THE HECK, which of course pulled me into the abyss. This is a short book, 22 pages, and there is no way I can quit now. So again, Lucian Bane, my commitment is REAL and off I go into the weird, broken, unusual, captivating world of Krypt.

Krypt has a deviant secret
Oh boy. This new series from Lucian Bane has all sorts of deviant secrets, and I can't wait to find them all out. And poor Mary, how will she react when she discovers them too. Krypt might seem like the man of her dreams...but he's a different kind of nightmare. One that seems so cold it's hot. Especially when all he wants to do is protect her, but maybe it's him she needs to be protected from.

Hot off the press 🔥 a new story to sink your teeth in to! Krypt opens the story with Mary on his table, and it's clear from the get go, she is his captive, but Krypt is spellbound by her. Their link and connection Mary's dead brother. But what exactly was his debt and how will it pass to Mary? Lots of question that need answers and who exactly are Krypts family and what do they do? Can't wait for the next installment 😍

Mary woke to find herself immobilized and Krypt, her brother's best friend and her ten-year-old fantasy, right there calling her name. He'd remembered her from that party ten years ago! What she didn't know is that her brother is dead and Krypt's family feels there is a blood debt owed with Mary being the one to settle the debt. This is a short read with a powerful punch that quickly sucked me into this dark storyline. Now I want more. Thankfully, book two is ready and waiting.

Whoa! Sinister yet not
Riveting from the start. Unclear about the purpose but cleared up as the story progresses. Dark. Sinister. Yet it isn’t. I may sound confusing but you have to read it to understand. Cannot wait to read the continuation.

Krypt!
Wow this is a new version of Mr Bane. This is exciting even though Krypt has rather unusual “taste”, it’s intriguing and yes it’s hot! Lucian Bane knows how to rev things up especially with the unusual. Can’t wait for the next instalment.

Kryptically Amazing!
Well he's done it again! I am thoroughly hooked loving these curiously flawed characters. I know exactly how Mary the female lead feels wanting to know everything that makes Krypt tick. I am looking forward to the next episode in this series.

Lucian Bane brings a page turning serial you can devour in one sitting. When a man with dark desires that are frigid in all ways meets his match in the fiery Mary he has sworn to protect. Krypt must learn to manage his kinks and keep her forever.
Super sexy! It will give you the chills!

Interesting
Interesting perversions in this little treasure. Krypt would have been better off leaving this little girl to herself if possible. However he wanted something from her.

Very short book that gets pretty intense fairly quickly and to the point. Krype has taken Mary, to save her. For himself. This book draws you in and before you blink it is over and asking for more.
