Yonder Desire

by Ivy Smoak

A sexy, mysterious man seduced Emma ten years ago. When she finally sees him again, she’ll do anything to feel his touch - even if it’s dangerous. Don’t miss this high-heat vampire romance from USA Today bestselling author Ivy Smoak

Emma was a college student when she attended a party for the soccer team at a mysterious manor off campus, eager to hook up with one of the players. Instead, she ended up in the arms of Callum Walsh, the coach—a gorgeous man with glowing golden eyes who seemed to have an otherworldly pull over her. After their rendezvous, he disappeared without a trace.

Ten years have passed, and Emma never expected to see Callum again. But when she runs into him on the street – and when he denies that he is, in fact, Callum Walsh – Emma’s entire world gets flipped upside-down. A mysterious death in her town and a spike in suspicious criminal activity has Emma on edge, not knowing who she can trust. But all she can think about is him, and she’ll do whatever it takes to unlock the mystery of her obsession.

Rating so far, reading on Yonder app and I’m hooked!

Yonder app read.
Mysteries to be unlocked. Emma must go on a journey to solve the clues and reveal the truth. Along the way she will have love interests but who will come out on top? With her best friend by her side trying to convince her to move to her town. The side characters will have you screaming for them to have a book and who knows maybe they will get one 😉!!!

My only complaint about this book is how you read it. This needs to be on either kindle unlimited or as a promo or something on Apple Books or kindle in general. I think it is absolutely ridiculous that you have to wait every day for a chapter to open at a certain amount of time during the day. On top of that, you are forced to buy coins when it’s the last 3-4 chapters of the book. I had to buy coins twice to finish this book, it isn’t too expensive but it’s the principle of it all. This is why it took me almost 2 months to finish this book. If you know me, you’ll know I wasn’t going to sit around and wait for chapters to unlock, I had to read other books on top of this and now I’ve finally finished it! I even started another book in Yonder so I can get free coins but that didn’t happen at all, so now I’m immersed in another book on Yonder even though I don’t like how you can read books on it but I’m too invested now to stop. Anyway, rant aside I had mixed feelings throughout this book. It started off really good then declined when we get to Zoey’s point of view, which was a nice surprise after being in Emma’s thoughts the first half of the book. At first I liked being in her head, but then she just became annoying and it just felt like filler chapters. I wasn’t getting anywhere with either Callum or the men from the bank. This is how I’ll call them since they all play a significant part of this story. Zoey tries to get answers about the supernatural, while also getting involved with werecats and she doesn’t stop until she has answers and her worries lessen. Meanwhile, Emma is engrossed with Callum and they grow their relationship, considering how it started, then stopped for 10 years only to find each other again. Emma focuses on getting Callum to remember her but it’s like he’s refusing to acknowledge it until one day he just gives up on his distancing and accepts his feelings and attraction to her. I wouldn’t know because we don’t get into his head within this book, nor do we know what’s going on with the bank boys. I felt like though this story was really good, and it definitely deserves a 5, there was too many questions left unanswered and it felt like I was just reading about Zoey and her bank boys or Emma and Callum. When you introduce supernatural creatures, I find myself wanting to know background about them, and we do but it takes too long. Plus I felt like there were people Zoey was talking to through her MyFanatics account that just adds more questions and assumptions on my end. I could have done without that unless we were going to talk about them eventually. Near the end of the book, I was enjoying it more and wanted to know how Zoey moves forward with the bank boys. That in itself could have been a whole other book but while it kind of gets resolved, I feel uneasy about Kebe and the bank boys finding out about what Emma, Zoey and Kebe did. What is the next step? Because this left me with more questions and a cliffhanger. I don’t know if the author is keeping this open ended, or if she’ll write more from this world.

I love how Ivy took this story to a new world so to speak we have a little Vamp in this story and love how she created other supernatural characters in this story. The females in this story can have some similarities to two other Characters she writes often about. She also throws Reverse Harem into the mix. This book was read through Younger. App

The story kept me reading on the Yonder app, I just had to know what would happen next. I was disappointed in the ending... she just ended with so many unanswered questions.... like I feel another chapter would have been better, to wrap some things up. Hopefully the next book is on Amazon, I wasn't a fan of reading on the Yonder app.

Ivy’s books do one thing. They sink their teeth in you and PULL you in. It was hard to wait for each chapter to be released of Bitten By Desire but well worth the wait. I absolutely loved this cast of characters. I myself felt as if I was bitten by desire!

I wish I could have a physical copy, yonder was very user friendly but I enjoy reading from a real copy rather than on the phone! Loved the suspense in this book. Always had me second guessing what I thought was going to happen and love all the paranormal added into this story!

This was spicy and kept you on your toes! Episodes were released on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT ENDING?!

Another great one by Ivy! I read this one on Yonder and can’t wait for the second one!!! Loved Callum and excited because his name was dropped in another series!

[Cherilyn Leffler · Rating 3 out of 5]

Liked the book but hated the experience reading it on Yonder. Waiting for a chapter to be released isn’t the way to read a book. Sadly the second book is on yonder too :(

[Valerie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wish I hadn't waited so long to read this just because it was on a platform I wasn't on board with. The story was great, I really hope there's a 3rd book!

[Hooked_On_Smut_329 · Rating 5 out of 5]

So far I obsessed with this book!! I am reading it on Yonder, so you have to wait for chapters to be released which isn't the best, but I don't mind since this story is so good!
