What was the point of being the villain if he didn’t get what he wanted in the end?

I think the thing I love the most about this book is how Luc, the badass half-feral vampire, strolls into town and expects to be the top dog. He assumes everyone will fear and dislike him. Then there’s bubbly Jamie who literally couldn’t care less. He doesn’t take anyone’s shit and isn’t scared of his vampire at all. It goes something like this ⬇️

Luc: *being all growly and dramatic and shit* ‘fear me, mortals!’ (probably)
Jamie: ‘aww, is my little monster angry? So cute’

Tall, built, intense. Smelling like absolute sin. With that lovely little smattering of salt and pepper at the temples of his abundant dark hair. Hello, Monster Daddy.

Jamie is as far from a doormat a human can be as a character in a vampire romance probably, and I love it. He knows what he wants and goes after it, and he doesn’t let anyone treat him badly.

Jamie was definitely human. Just with… added bonus abilities. Ones that sometimes creeped people out, or lost him friends or the occasional job or father or whatever.

Lucien isn’t ‘good’, and that’s okay. He has some morals, sure, but barely, lol. He has some guilt to deal with as well as some pretty intense abandonment issues. Oh, and let’s not forget the anger issues. I love this book just like I love the rest of the series. It’s not my favorite out all of them, but still really good. I recommend reading book 1 (Roman) first to get Luc’s backstory.

Footsteps approached the bed. “You’re very angry with me, aren’t you, ma fleur?” Oh, Luc was breaking out the French. Dumb vampire must know he fucked up.

“You’ll find I’m beyond ordinary possession, my flower. Don’t think to toy with me. I’ll crush any obstacles you put in my way, human or otherwise.” His warning didn’t have the effect he’d hoped, Jamie’s dark eyes glazing over with lust at his words. Ah well, he’d tried.

“Over time, we lose ourselves more and more to the vampire instincts inside us. To our monsters. We become more beast than man, driven by bloodlust and little else.” How incredibly metal of them.


Throwing in a little Jay quote, because Johann is the best character ♥️

“That’s what I said,” Jay chimed in, reaching a hand out to a small barrel cactus he’d found in the corner of Jamie’s yard. “Jay, honey,” Danny called out. “Don’t touch the cactus.” “Don’t worry, I know it’s sharp.” The little vampire reached out a finger anyway, touching one of the spines of the desert plant. “Ouch,” he said happily, holding up his finger to display the small drop of blood welling there. “See? Sharp.” “That’s great, sweetie.”
