The Lycans #5
Bite Marks
Adryan I was ruthless, brutal. A sociopath by all accounts. The leader of the American Vampire Clan, a male who all feared because I was merciless. And then I found my mate. Kayla. So fragile. Breakable. So human. I’d make her mine, and she’d hate me for it. I wanted to give her pain with pleasure, wanted to break her skin and lick up the blood I spilled… take Kayla into me like she’d take me into her. I’d have her surrendering to my needs. I’d give her my body but wouldn't be able to give her my heart. How could I when it wasn’t something I had to offer, when I was nothing but a coldhearted killer? So when the threats come to my front door, it’s time to show my female she’s mated to the most dangerous vampire in the world.

What a delicious dual-v, vampire/human read
Gahhh! Look. I get it. Most books don’t have a virgin H, especially a vampire H, but man… I found myself wanting to get my own vampire to keep for myself after this book. I mean, if my man isn’t sniffing and sensing me all day long, is it even true love? 🥺 Plus, he calls her Kitty, Princess, AND Baby!!! SWOOOON!
2024 Reread with the audiobook
Ummm… duet narration AND Jacob Clarke?!?!?? BE STILL MY VAG- I mean… MY HEART 🫠💦🥵🔥. Jason Clarke can read a shopping list and I’m sold 🤷🏻♀️ lol. I loved his different voices, but his growly Adryan voice was extra special 😮💨😉. This time around, I love how protective Adryan is🥹🫶 especially when he finds out all the 🔥 had the right kind of consequences 😉🫶lol. I can’t wait to read the next one. The narrator has an amazing accent! 👀. I’m a hoooooar for them 🤷🏻♀️😉👏🏻.
Plus. He grows out his facial hair for her 👏🏻. We all know facial hair is the equivalent to makeup for women … they’re just sexier 🤣 (women with or without makeup is sexy lol but I can’t think of how else to say it)
Adryan is 120 years old, and he’s a vicious leader. He’s a Vampire King and has killed many in his lifetime- he doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty. With all the political stuff going on in the paranormal world, he’s been busy. He’s never been able to… um… get it up… until he smells his mate… his human mate… and he can’t wait to consume her 😈😅 and mark her as his 🥵.
Kayla (24) has never been with a man. She’s never felt the need to or the inclination to try being intimate with anyone; plus, she feels repulsed by them. When she goes clubbing with her bff and her cousin, she gets overpowered by this stranger while dancing very sensually. The need and hunger he awakes in her is unreal, and the way he nibbles on her is unlike anything she’s ever felt.
When she tries dating her best friend’s cousin, his JP side comes out, and she no longer controls the way her body reacts to him. He straight up tells her that she can run from him, but he’ll always catch her, and jeeeezus, does he ever 🔥🥵. Annnnnd, he tells her that he’ll enjoy catching her EVERY. TIME. *undies disintegrate*.
OH. MY. GOSH. The chemistry. The connection. The visceral passion and primal need to be together was STEAMY. Their first intense make-out session happened when she was on her “date” with the cousin, and Adryan was very happy to stake his claim 🥵🔥. I mean, no man is gonna stop him from getting him to mark what’s his 💅 and does he ever 😉. There might not be a ton of smexxy scenes, but the ones in here make it COUNT 🥵🔥😅🤤. Plus, his dirty mouth was definitely panty-melting 🔥. Annnnnd… the amount of biting and licking made me blush and look over my shoulder a lot 🤤.
Sigh. Adryan is so protective of his mate, I just loved everything he did for her. Annnnnd… I loved the HEA 🥰🥺. Even though there’s otherworldly being drama, Adryan prioritizes Kayla- she’s his most important person❤️❤️❤️

She didn’t know it yet, but she had just become the mate to the most dangerous vampire in the world

”Kitty,” he said and groaned again. “I like that nickname for you the most. All soft and innocent.” His gaze lowered down my body until he stared at the part of me that was wet and achy… for him. “If I pet you, would you purr for me?”
Kayla (24) has never been with a man. She’s never felt the need to or the inclination to try being intimate with anyone; plus, she feels repulsed by them.

The need and hunger he awakes in her is unreal, and the way he nibbles on her is unlike anything she’s ever felt.
”I bet you’re sweeter than sugar. I bet your pussy tastes like honey, so fucking saccharine my teeth will hurt.” He pulled back, his scruffy cheek brushing against mine until we were staring into each other's eyes again. “And I have one hell of a fucking sweet tooth, female.”
When she tries dating her best friend’s cousin, his JP side comes out, and she no longer controls the way her body reacts to him. He straight up tells her that she can run from him, but he’ll always catch her, and jeeeezus, does he ever 🔥🥵. Annnnnd, he tells her that he’ll enjoy catching her EVERY. TIME. *undies disintegrate*.
”You’ll run,” he said, his deep voice penetrating my chaotic thoughts. “Oh yeah, you’ll fucking run.” The way he said the words told me he… looked forward to it. “And you’ll hide.” He took another step back, his grin widening. “But there isn’t a place on this planet where I can’t find you.” I moved to the side, my heart hammering in my chest. “And I’ll anticipate the chase because of the predator I am… and because you’re mine.”

”One hundred twenty years.” It was my turn to sober so hard and fast I might have died. “Goddamn,” I murmured. “You take ‘robbing the cradle’ to a whole new level. You do know I’m not even twenty-five?” He hummed as if that turned him on. “You could have been old and wasted away when we first met, and I’d still find you the most gorgeous female to ever walk the planet.”
Sigh. Adryan is so protective of his mate, I just loved everything he did for her. Annnnnd… I loved the HEA 🥰🥺. Even though there’s otherworldly being drama, Adryan prioritizes Kayla- she’s his most important person❤️❤️❤️

Adryan spots his Coveted Female from the upstairs office in his bar, Sinner. Knowing immediately that Kayla is his, he sets off on a course to woo her and lure her in without frightening her.
While Kayla is a human, she immediately senses the safety Adrian provides. Despite her fear and uncertainty, she knows he won’t hurt her so she feels safe hiding behind her sass. Likewise, she recognizes running would be futile. However, her mere, albeit brief, association with Adryan has left her with a target on her back.
“…that’s what Adryan was to me, I realized. My trap, my own personal bear trap.”
The Assembly, a human-led organization that exists for the sole purpose of torturing and eliminating the Otherworld creatures in existence, has unearthed Adryan’s weakness: his mate.
Despite a tenuous relationship with the Lycans, Adryan’s vampires and the Lycan King, Banner’s, werewolves set about a mission to destroy the Assembly headquarters they’ve located.
The operation along with the knowledge there’s a traitor in their midst creates an action-packed storyline. Combine that with Adryan and Kayla’s fire and ice personalities - he’s as alpha as they come while she’s sassy and stubborn. It makes their push and pull incredibly hottttt! 🥵
“I’m the sadist. You’re the masochist. Yin and yang. A perfect combination”

I HAVE BEEN WAITING AGES FOR ADRYAN!!! I knew this man would be the death of me.. and Jenika came for my soul with this man.
We have seen Adryan for awhile in pervious books and it's his turn to shine and he already spotted his mate and she's everything he wants She's light with a hint of darkness with what she craves. Kayla has tiny fantasies that make her think she's not normal she feels she's being watched and when she sees who is watching her it's a push/pull with the feelings, she's also trying to dodge her friends cousin who wants to date her. But boy Adryan makes sure that doesn't happen.. this man puts Edward Cullen to shame when he watches his woman sleep lol ;) he's possessive, powerful and those lips and fangs. Bug not all is sunshine and rainbows there still that group who are taken supernatural creatures hostage and they took Kayla wrong thing to do.. because you don't go after a psychos mate.. secerts are uncovered and a new couple is mentioned for the next book it's seems angsty I'm so ready.

*Thank you to Give Me Books PR and the author for a ARC of this book*
This is the Fifth entry in the Lykan series and the first one in that series about a full bloodied male vampire. Adryan is the uncle of the previous characters and he is a chaotic psychopath. I am absolutely okay with everything I just mentioned and I was thrilled to get to review this book early.
Kayla is human and she has always felt a bit "off". She is innocent in a lot of ways and just wants to go about her life, expecting nothing from no one. Then she goes to a club with her friend and she walks into the sight of Adryan, and ageless vampire who has been searching for his mate. The only woman who can arouse him and be his perfect fit. And boy has a lot to "fit" if you catch my drift.
Which of course you do! It's a spicy romance of course.
Kayla is terrified by the feelings Adryan arouses in her for the very first time. And when he starts stalking her… she just wants him to go away.
But Adryan has been waiting several life times for Kayla and he won't be denied. Their chemistry is explosive, and despite her wishes she is drawn to him. He won't be an easy male to handle but she is the only woman who can.
This was thrilling, dark, spicy and delightful. I loved every page and I can't wait for the next entry to the series.
4.5/5 Stars
4 on the spice scale.
TW: Stalking and general violence. Blood play, kink, and some dubcon.
5/5 stars

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trope: fated mates
Angst: 😱😱
Smexy: 🔥🔥🔥
Triggers: none
Been waiting for Adryan's book - he was such an @ssh0le in the other books, so I couldn't wait for him to get his - and Bite Marks didn't disappoint. Aydrian didn't get to be King of the American vampires by being a nice guy. He's completely soulless at this point and he'd all but given up finding his coveted female when he notices Kayla. And with one look it's ON. Adryan is obsessive, possessive, and can't even stand for other guys to look at her, never mind touch her. With the ever looming threat of the Assembly hanging over his head - he knows he needs to keep his mate safe.
Phewww! This book was smoking! Really fast paced and well written, Jenicka Snow comes through again with another super hot and entertaining read. Kayla had been really struggling when she came across Adryan who just steamrolls into her life. I liked how she had an aversion to touching that she never understood and how Adryan is the only person who she's been able to get close to. This story had tons of twists and turns that had me all the way to the end. Loved the teaser for the next book as well -- can't wait!

4.25/5⭐️ & 3.5/5🌶️
this is a long so be prepared but the pacing still felt very fast. I loved Adryan so much - truly an unhinged psychopath vampire but we love to see it. He is a 120 year old virgin so i guess there’s a reason to his madness
What I love about this series so far is that the “other world” species (werewolves, vampires, fae, etc) never feel ANY type of arousal for anyone except for their mates. Like absolutely no desire at all and they usually are virgins. Even their human mates have no desire to be with anyone and are repulsed by anyone else’s touch except for their mates.
If you love vampires…and kinky blood play this is for you

"I'm the sadist. You're the masochist. Yin and yang. A perfect combination."
Holy cow. I've been waiting for Adryan's story and it did not disappoint. Adryan finds his Coveted Female when she visits his club Sinner and his entire life trajectory changes. Even with a brewing war, he has a new objective...woo and claim his female.
Kayla is human and she thinks of herself as deviant and broken. Never responding to any man's touch she wonders what is wrong with her. When she runs into the dark and dangerous Adryan, she realizes she may have been waiting for him this whole time. Sensing that he is more feral than anything, she is hesitant at first but the pull between them is too strong to resist.
Just as the two of them are finally coming together, Kayla is kidnapped by an evil organization and Adyran and the Lycans set out on a mission to destroy the Assembly.
This was so hot. The sexual tension and push and pull between Adryan and Kayla was delicious and the suspense with the Assembly and Odrhan and Larkin for the next story was so well written. Adyran was a yummy alpha male with particular kinks and I loved him. Kayla was such a nice character although I would have liked a little more development with her. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this steamy and fast paced read. It was everything I wanted for Adryan.
"Now that I've found you...losing you means I'd cease to exist."

5 ‘Obsessed’ Stars
Lord have mercy!!! This book needs to come with a big WARNING label, absolutely NOT SAFE FOR WORK!!! Sorry but this one will be full of exclamation points, lol.
As for the warning, be prepared- you can’t really, lol - for the FILTHIEST of talkers, and this said by a Tessa Bailey’s dirty talk addict, with a mouth so damn dirty, that will make you combust on its own alone, but coupled with the most possessive and obsessed of Alphas, oh wow… *ovaries combustion*
I read this one twice, once in ebook, and once in audio - perfect narrators, Stella Hunter was flawless and Jason Clarke… oh my, you are not ready, believe me, who knew the dirty talk could be taken to new heights with the RIGHT narrator?! I do now, lol… Grab this audio, I tell you!
I now need a paperback, too because this level of paranormal smuttiness needs to be celebrated, and front rowed on my shelves! A delicious naughty - ok, ok, that’s too subdued - FILTHY read like this needs to be a staple in all the romance lists!

POV: 1st, Dual
Series: The Lycans, Book 5
STEAM LEVEL: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good lawd, y’all. If there’s one thing I learned about the American vampire king it’s that Adryan has THE dirtiest mouth I’ve ever encountered. Dark, delicious, angsty, passionate. He’s a cold-hearted beast who feels incapable of loving, but when he senses his mate, that all changes.
“𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚜𝚎𝚎 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚍𝚘 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚎? 𝙻𝚒𝚌𝚔 𝚖𝚢 𝚌𝚘𝚌𝚔 𝚌𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚗 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚊 𝚐𝚘𝚘𝚍 𝚐𝚒𝚛𝚕.”
Kayla is sweet, innocent, and stubborn. Adryan expected a submissive mate to counter his dominance but instead he finds a woman that challenges him and accepts him for all that he is.

It wasn’t an easy path for either of them with blood, death, and carnage happening all around them, but it was so explosive and sexy between them that I just devoured every word.
And that ending??? I NEED to know what happens with Odhran and Larkin. This entire series is hot af, romantic, and addicting.

One, this is not the author for me, so take this with a grain of salt. Two, this was not good. Long, drawn out, repetitive, frequent contradictions, very little real connection between the couple. This is a dark paranormal with a lot of violence and torture, including for a female that is a main character in another book.

3.5 ⭐
This is probably the spiciest by far. 🫣 These two like some really hard stuff. I mean, it's a sadist x masochist combo, so just imagine the smut between them. 🤭 Anyway, I wasn't into their romance, idk why. They just didn't appeal to me, but ngl, the steamy times were hawt AF.
But I did enjoy the continuation of the assembly storyline. I was so invested in this stupid organization, but it really made me wary of Odhran and Larkin's book. I don't want to imagine what she went through all these years, but I'm sure it's the worst of the worst things out there.
Also a minor issue of mine. I don't particularly enjoy it when innocent characters are unalived for any reason, and that happened to two minor characters here (nothing of interest, still). Idk, it's just not my thing.
And the constant impatience battle between lycans and vampires got exhausting at some point. Even though it was Adryan who always stirred things up, it got pretty frustrating how the Lycans kept falling for it every single time. Then again, these people are alpha in their ways, so…
Overall, it was okay, but I'm more excited about the next book.
Fated mates, dual V, and safe.

3.75 Stars,
Enjoyed this, so i had to write a review :D
Really the vibe that i was looking for!!!
It's been so long since i actually liked a heroine's character. She was sweet, kind, loyal, trying to discover herself <3
The antihero had a great balance of supposedly being the 'bad guy' but somehow we do see glimpses of him being soft!
Adryan is kinda like the guy who is good and vulnerable only towards kayla!!! Guy was ready to burn the world for her!!!
Plot was engaging. Overall, i really liked this and i do recommend! I like darkness mixed with sweetness/light and light/love overcoming the darkness!!!
Oh and the spice, so hot :P xD
H:120 h: 23,
Both Vs,
h kidnapped and saved very quickly, both H & h are obsessed w each other,
A guy named Salvatore shows interest in the h at the start, h is not interested but they do just meet briefly, just for her to decline him politely cause only the hero does it for her <3,
Happy ending!!!

This is how you do fated mates!! The magnetic pull, the tension, the dynamic longing just oozes off the page. No one quite does caveman-possession, you are mine mated alphas and crazy sexy smut like Jenika snow. Love this series- it's fast paced, hella hot, and a lot of fun. And Bite Marks may just be my favorite in the series thus far.

Man oh man… I knew I’d love Adryan. I mean he was always OTT alpha and cold and crazy. I mean his own family feared him and his story did not disappoint. The other books in this series were decent some good but this one.. THIS ONE was damn good! SOOOOO GOOD!
Okay- to read this you honestly need to read the book before this one because you need to know who the assembly is and who odhran is. But the others I feel like you don’t have to read those before this one.
-H is an OTT alpha vampire. He’s the head of the American vampire clan and he’s the most ruthless, cold and psychotic vampire around.
-Our h is a sweet little thing whose got dark depraved desires she keeps locked down right.
-Both V cards. Neither one even gets list full after anyone else before seeing and touching each other. THIS I LOVED.
-Fated mates / coveted mates
-H is a sadist and h is a masochist.
-Adryan is DELICIOUS. He is possesive, he threatens his solider for even THINKING about his mate.
-marking and blood 🩸. He’s a vampire so his little marking bites and drinking from her inner thigh and neck is 🤤 . Him drink from her, her drinking from him … soooo good.
-PRAISSSEEEEE ❤️🔥 him calling her a good girl was just EVERYTHING
-He calls her baby, princess, good girl and kitty 🐱
-Adryans mouth was delicious 🤤 I highlighted sooooo many things lol.
-their is a primal scene (primal being run/chase)
-Some drama 🎭 with the evil organization trying to get the “otherworld” creatures, we see a bit of the of them old side characters but not enough for much update. We do see more of odhran which I think is set up for the next book bc here we finally meet who his mate is, Larkin.
This book was hands down the best of this series and a dang good PNR out of what I’ve read lately. It was spicy, well written and had an amazing dominate OTT crazy alpha H. Will continue the next in the series for sure.

*ALC received from Audibly Addicted in exchange for my honest review. *
VAMPIRE JASON CLARKE!!!
I am firmly in the mindset if you want to read the book, read it. If you want to listen to it, listen to it. Bite Marks deserves to be listened to because hearing all the delicious lines that Jenika put on the page said in Jason Clarke's deep growly voice makes this entire book.
Adryan is ruthless. The leader of the American Vampire Clan he is feared by almost everyone he meets. He doesn't have the time for distractions because distractions mean lives are lost and not just the ones that have died at his hand who deserved it. A mate was never in the cards for Adryan and after over a century he never expected to find her but there she is. In his club. Kayla. So fragile, so easily broken and that is exactly what Adryan wants to do, break her.
Kayla was never aware that monsters lurked in the shadows until one shows up for her one night. He isn't just any monster; he is the monster that is going to ruin her. Adryan is much more than tall, broody, and powerful. He is the man that is going to wreck Kayla for any and everything else. Afterall it wasn't until this man that she ever felt anything for another before.
When powerful forces come to take away the only thing that Adryan has ever cared about, he will stop at nothing to get his female back and there is not a force on this planet that can stop him.
The f*cking narration!! Jason Clarke & Stella Hunter are two of my favorite narrators, but this was next level. I am talking dirty, filthy, sexy, and delicious. Stella Hunter gave us a strong willed but tender heroine in Kayla without all the fussy air headedness we seem to get in paranormal romances. Then Jason Clarke, good gods! Excuse me but hold on to your panties because they are going to be incinerated after the first deep growl and trust me, they are plenty!! Then the um... dirty scenes goodnight nurse! Let's just say this story is not missing anything where narration is concerned.
The magnetic pull that Snow created with Kayla & Adryan was unlike anything I have ever read before. The fated mates trope doesn't always work out so well for me because I don't feel it. I don't feel the urgency that you are supposed to have for that one person. With these two, I felt it. Even with Kayla when she wasn't entirely how she should feel about this new world she was thrust into she felt that pull to Adryan. That deep ache that said this is the person you are supposed to be with.
This was my first Jenika Snow book and I keep asking myself WHY? Seriously there was not one single aspect about this story I didn't love. It was filthy, dark, bloody *wink wink*, and intense. All things I look for in a book with a vampire and his mate.

Omg! This book is sooo unexpectedly awesome! Where can I find my Adryan!? 🥵😍
Bite Marks is book five in The Lycans Series by Jenika Snow and this is the story of the Leader of the American Vampire Clan Adryan and his mortal fated mate - Kylie.
Adryan as a leader is ruthless, but when it comes to Kylie he will do everything and anything literally and figuratively 🖤
I appreciate the tension build-up before the steammm!!! You guys this book is highly entertaining! Would recommend it to those who love reading PNR 🧛.

I honestly was disappointed with how this turned out 🫠😔 This probably had to be my most anticipated book in the series because ever since Adryan was introduced I was sattt (a sociopathic vampire king? Hello sign me up.)
I just felt like this book was wayyy too plot-heavy, where the actual romance wasn't balanced imo. My problem with this was that said plot had literally nothing to do with the actual couple. It just felt so unnecessary and took away from the characters and their story.
I also find it really ironic how in every one of these books the Hs rave about how much they'll protect and never let anything harm the hs and then they immediately fail to do so 💀.
Anyway, there was SO much potential with this couple. They had SUCH amazing chemistry, but really weren't given any time to properly let it flesh out (in a non-sexual way). It's such a shame 🥲.

“I’d never been with a female, never touched one sexually, kissed one… made one mine between the sheets. I’d never had the urge. That was reserved for my Coveted One.”
Adryan is ruthless and powerful. The most powerful vampire in the world. He’s a self proclaimed killer and psycho. Never thought he’d have a fated female to him. Never searched either. Until one tiny human woman walked into a club he owned.
Kayla.
Kayla is also a virgin but has fantasies and kinks. She’s never indulged in any of them because she has an aversion to touch from anyone. Oh but… not with a mystery man at the club… Adryan.
“Didn’t you know, sweet girl? You’re mated to the leader of the American Vampire Clan, the king of assholes and bastards.”
This is by far my favorite book of the series. This couple was off the charts insanely kinky and sexy. Adryan is so cocky and does dirty talk like nothing I’ve ever read. He’s got a huge cock and uses it fully with his little coveted mate.
Kayla met someone that makes her blood sing, loves his touch, the pain and pleasure his gives. These two… are perfection. The over the top possessiveness and claim Adryan has over Kayla?! 🔥
This book has its drama. We continue the take down of the Assembly. And it’s getting more intense with getting to the leader and squashing this system down for good.
This book is left off with us knowing that the series will continue with another character getting their story and IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE! I’m so excited!

I loved Adryan from the begining. I had such high hopes because his character's personality was appealing to me but damn was I disappointed. His possessiveness is what saved this book for me. That, and the chapter and a half of smut. I mostly liked the book up until chapter 24. After that it fell apart for me. There wasn't anything to hold my attention and make up for some of the issues I had with the writing.
This book has a little plot with a little smut. I hated how much the author made Adryan reiterate that he is a psychopath and a predator. There were numerous unnecessary filler words and contradicting sentences throughout the book which also took away from the story in my opinion.
Some of Adryan's dirty talk is super cringey. I actually stopped a few times and had to mentally prepare myself to get through the rest of the scene...it was that cringey.
I hated the ending most of all. It seemed like a desperate attempt for a happily ever after for the two MCs.

If I pet you, would you purr for me?
This one was so cute and so sweeeeet!!!! H respected h so much and even he was a ruthless bastard and heartless killer as a Vampire Leader, he showed his gentleness to her with all his efforts. They were sooooo cute😭😭😭
Gods, she was a gorgeous thing, maybe average in height by human standards, but compared to me, she was tiny, breakable.
I felt a rush of heat settle in my groin at the thought of breaking her, of destroying her, ruining her for every other male on the planet.
Of course I’d never let her go. She was mine now, and no one would touch her, look at her, even think about her.
I love how quick Kyler gave in, as soon as she knew he was hers and always what she wanted, she gave in and never pushed him. 🥰
“If you asked me to destroy the world,” he said against my mouth, “I’d do it ten times over just to prove how loyal and devoted I am to you.” He smoothed his thumb along my jawline and dragged his tongue over my bottom lip again. “No one and nothing holds power over me.” He was breathing harder. “Except you.”
He kept stroking me so slowly, ensuring I didn’t get off, keeping me on that precipice.
“You’re so good and sweet. You’re an angel, and I’m a coldhearted, depraved devil. You’re too good for me, but I’m too fucking selfish to let you go. Because you’re mine.”
Their chemistry was so intense and really HOOOOTTTT!!!! H was so sexy and hot as a vampire, omg I can feel how attractive he was!!!!
“I love you, princess, as much as a male like me can with a cold, black heart.” He stood and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into the protectiveness of his body, enveloping me fully. “Whatever I am, and all that makes me jealous and possessive, territorially violent when it comes to you, is yours.” He kissed my face over and over again, not missing a spot, his fangs, long and sharp from the emotion he felt, moving along my skin. “You gave me everything I never deserved. I’m yours. Gods, princess. I’m yours.”
No push away and this one was really so perfect!!! I just want more of it!!!😭😭😭

My fangs tingled and ached, elongated so much I could barely close my mouth. I ran my tongue over my bottom lip, over and over again, her blood long gone, but I still tasted her, a flavor that was in every cell of my body now, forever—eternally—imprinted in me.
Gods, she was sweet, like the finest, rarest wine that had ever covered my tongue. My A-positive little human was the sweetest thing I’d ever fucking tasted.
🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
She was mine by fate, my destiny… my possession to do with as I fucking pleased.
But I didn’t want to frighten her… didn’t want her to see herself as something I owned. And as weird as it was for me to think, let alone feel, I wanted her to want to be with me, not out of fear, not because she was my prisoner, but because she needed me as intrinsically as I needed her.
🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
“Kitty,” he said and groaned again. “I like that nickname for you the most. All soft and innocent.” His gaze lowered down my body until he stared at the part of me that was wet and achy… for him. “If I pet you, would you purr for me?”
🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
“If I say it, it’ll somehow make it real.” Her voice was barely audible.
“Baby, it’s already real.”
She averted her gaze to stare at the heavy drapes covering the window. “Saying—thinking—that you could be… one of those is insane.”
“One of those…?”
She glanced at me then, her eyes seeming even greener as her pupils constricted. “A vampire.”
🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
“A monster who is now linked to you forever, an undeniable bond weaving us closer and closer until one can’t survive without the other.” He lowered his gaze to my throat. “And once I claim you, mark you good and hard… properly, our life spans will be forever tied.” He slowly trailed his gaze back to my face. “You’ll age nice and slow with me because I’m never letting you go.”
🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
My mate was half my size, and the way she looked up at me with those doe-like eyes, all innocent but ready to get absolutely fucking filthy with me, I felt my anticipation growing to dangerous levels.
🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
“I want you exactly as you are,” I finally said. “I’m not asking for anything more than that.” I leaned in and kissed him, just a soft brush of my lips against his. “Adryan,” I whispered and cupped his scruff-covered cheeks.
“Yeah, baby?” I’d never heard his voice sound so satiated, so soft. I’d never seen Adryan with… his guard down or looking so content.
“I want you just as you are,” I said again.
“I’m a monster. You deserve better.”
I smiled. “Didn’t you know? In every movie, every book, I always hope the villain gets the girl.”
He laughed softly, just a little huff of noise and breath that still did funny things to my heart.
“Make love to me,” I whispered and kissed him again, long and slowly this time. Thoroughly. “Show me how much the villain can be the hero of his own story.”
“My Kayla,” he murmured and wrapped his arms tightly around me as if he thought he’d lose me.
“Never,” I answered his unspoken worry.
Adryan was a monster in his own right. He was dangerous, and he sure as hell wasn’t sane most of the time. I’m sure most people would say I was crazy, that being with him meant I was just as deranged as he was, that I was walking right to my own downfall.
But he was mine, I was his, and I was coming to the realization that everyone else’s opinions could go fuck themselves.

My fangs tingled and ached, elongated so much I could barely close my mouth. I ran my tongue over my bottom lip, over and over again, her blood long gone, but I still tasted her, a flavor that was in every cell of my body now, forever—eternally—imprinted in me.
Gods, she was sweet, like the finest, rarest wine that had ever covered my tongue. My A-positive little human was the sweetest thing I’d ever fucking tasted.

She was mine by fate, my destiny… my possession to do with as I fucking pleased.
But I didn’t want to frighten her… didn’t want her to see herself as something I owned. And as weird as it was for me to think, let alone feel, I wanted her to want to be with me, not out of fear, not because she was my prisoner, but because she needed me as intrinsically as I needed her.

“Kitty,” he said and groaned again. “I like that nickname for you the most. All soft and innocent.” His gaze lowered down my body until he stared at the part of me that was wet and achy… for him. “If I pet you, would you purr for me?”

“If I say it, it’ll somehow make it real.” Her voice was barely audible.
“Baby, it’s already real.”
She averted her gaze to stare at the heavy drapes covering the window. “Saying—thinking—that you could be… one of those is insane.”
“One of those…?”
She glanced at me then, her eyes seeming even greener as her pupils constricted. “A vampire.”

“A monster who is now linked to you forever, an undeniable bond weaving us closer and closer until one can’t survive without the other.” He lowered his gaze to my throat. “And once I claim you, mark you good and hard… properly, our life spans will be forever tied.” He slowly trailed his gaze back to my face. “You’ll age nice and slow with me because I’m never letting you go.”

My mate was half my size, and the way she looked up at me with those doe-like eyes, all innocent but ready to get absolutely fucking filthy with me, I felt my anticipation growing to dangerous levels.

“I want you exactly as you are,” I finally said. “I’m not asking for anything more than that.” I leaned in and kissed him, just a soft brush of my lips against his. “Adryan,” I whispered and cupped his scruff-covered cheeks.
“Yeah, baby?” I’d never heard his voice sound so satiated, so soft. I’d never seen Adryan with… his guard down or looking so content.
“I want you just as you are,” I said again.
“I’m a monster. You deserve better.”
I smiled. “Didn’t you know? In every movie, every book, I always hope the villain gets the girl.”
He laughed softly, just a little huff of noise and breath that still did funny things to my heart.
“Make love to me,” I whispered and kissed him again, long and slowly this time. Thoroughly. “Show me how much the villain can be the hero of his own story.”
“My Kayla,” he murmured and wrapped his arms tightly around me as if he thought he’d lose me.
“Never,” I answered his unspoken worry.
Adryan was a monster in his own right. He was dangerous, and he sure as hell wasn’t sane most of the time. I’m sure most people would say I was crazy, that being with him meant I was just as deranged as he was, that I was walking right to my own downfall.
But he was mine, I was his, and I was coming to the realization that everyone else’s opinions could go fuck themselves.

I - it was - *sigh*
I always do this. I read out of order and then I’m shocked when I don’t recognize characters/plot lines.
It wasn’t bad. It was a lovely way to pass the time. A few syntax errors spattered throughout and an interesting perspective on kink.
We have Adryan (honestly I have to remove a star just for that spelling) and Kayla. Adryan is a vampire - not Edward Cullen vibes, think … Castlevania. He is a self-professed sociopath - which is usually the first clue that he’s not going to have anti-social personality disorder. He also apparently has an … appendage … the length of Kayla’s forearm. To that, I say … ouch. It’s cool though, Kayla likes pain, a well-placed coincidence.
Kayla is also doing a master’s degree in psychology - but I can only hope that her stream isn’t clinically based because she would be … very bad at that. Please be in experimental or developmental psychology. I can’t say much about Kayla besides that she’s always been into pain and has convinced herself she must be a depraved lunatic. It’s weird that I have to say this twice in the same week - but being into some mainstream kink aspects doesn’t make you the Marquis de Sade.
I have to say though it got VERY dark in that final chapter and it’s a truly terrifying thing to envision. Will I keep reading? Yes. Will I do it in order? Probably not, where would the fun be in that.

I have to say, not my favorite from JS. It definitely bored me a little :(
The Fall (book 7 from this series 😬 I know I know I'm not even reading it in order lol) was my favorite so far and the Hero Sebastian was just on another level 🔥

**Audiobook Review**
“Although my heart had been beating for nearly a century and a half, this was the first time it functioned other than keeping me alive. It beat for her. The air I took into my lungs was for her. Every single thing I did from this point on would always be with her in mind, for her protection, her happiness…her pleasure.”
In the mood for a super, steamy vampire romance? Look no further! Clearly I have been living under a rock because why haven’t I found this authors work before?
Adryan is one dark and sexy vampire! He is possessive, protective and determined to make Kayla his the moment he sets his sight on her. He knows deep down she is his fated mate. His senses are heightened every moment she is near he is drawn to her in unexplainable ways.
Kayla is a young college student, she has barely lived yet, in comparison to Adryan’s 120 years as a vampire. She is young, naïve and has so much more to experience. After a night of dancing and drinking at Adryan’s club, Sinner life as Kayla knew it would never be the same. Adryan would come roaring into her life and completely upend it. But danger and violence is lurking in every corner of Adryan’s world and he has his work cut out for him feigning off his enemies and keeping Kayla safe.
On top of an angsty, suspenseful plot line the steam in this story is next level scorching HOT. The build up, tension and angst is pure perfection. The exploration of passion and pleasure was fantastic and all consuming.
This audiobook is performed in duet by Jason Clarke and Stella Hunter. I have listened to many books by these narrators but never one quite this steamy and oh so delicious! Jason does a deep, sexy growl like no other. His portrayal of the dirty talking, possessive alpha vampire was one of his best! and Stella was fantastic as Kayla. Sultry and sweet, vulnerable and fiery. Their vocal chemistry is excellent! Aaron Shedlock narrates the last chapter and it was a fantastic intro into his characters book. I will be on the lookout as it left me with many questions and needing more!
