I love stories set in regency times, and I love vampire stories, and Colleen melds the two genres together perfectly. It's hard to write about this book without giving spoilers, but suffice to say that there are two clans of Vampires, the good and the evil. Voss is one of the 'good' vampires, and...
My first Colleen Gleason book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The blend of historical and vampire genres was well done. The setting is London during the Napoleonic wars, and the vampires are titled aristocrats whose vampirisim comes as a bargain from Lucifer which is physically manifested by scar...
You still have your usual Ton and the ball gowns and the parties, even your stuck up Earls, Dukes and Lords - just in this case one of the Earls, Dukes and/or Lords might be vampire!This is another twist to the vampire stories and not all the usual myths are considered in this but some are (such ...
I really enjoyed Gleason's Gardella Vampire Chronicles series, so that set the bar for my expectations for this series. For me, the Vampire Voss didn't deliver. It wasn't that it was bad, it just wasn't up to the level of Gardella books. I think one reason for that was the lack of a strong, ce...
I absolutely LOVE the way this book starts out. It's not very often that you get the chance to read the same scene from different character perspectives. In Lucifer's Saint, the first half of the book follows the same story as it's predecessor, Lucifer's Rogue, only from Dimitri and Maia's point ...
I love stories where the prim and proper, and slightly annoying Miss, gets under the skin of the cool, aloof lord with a deep, dark secret! Maia is the sister of vampire hunter Chas Woodmore. While he's off trying not to get killed by nasty vampires, he has entrusted his sisters to the Earl of Co...
Well that was disappointing. At only 27% into the "book" the story was over and the rest was just "sneak peeks" at other books. And it's neither a prequel nor a story falling between two books. It's a "previously unrelated incident" from the series. In other words, a scene that was cut from t...
Lord Harold attended the wedding at Wyckford Heath with his son Lord Bernard of Derkland, to also find his son to be wed. Lord Bernard being recalcitrant upon matrimony was avoiding his father's wishes, and envious to his brother Dirick going to travel to places. Subsequently, as an oldest son he...
I just finished the Gardella and Dracula Vampire books. Other than the stories, I really enjoyed the history. I found myself looking up words, items, and events. It was cool at 45 to still learn about history. I won't tell you how much time I spent finding out about why the Waltz was so scandalou...

Dancy’s fangs. Yet this wasn’t the first time I’d been taken by surprise by an UnDead, and I also had my own advantage. He had no concept who I really was. But as his mouth settled over my sensitive neck, I had to fight the sensations . . . the soft, sweet lull of my blood surging free . . . the ...
I began to rise. But she met my eyes, giving me a mute plea to wait. I stilled, even though every part of my vampire-hunting body wanted to do otherwise. As she stood, Miss Holmes’s expression changed into a slack, uninteresting, drugged one . . . like that of the other young women surrounding us...
All of them had wounds that needed to be attended to, but the three men opted to have a few celebratory mugs of ale first. Victoria wanted nothing but to find a bed and sleep. So tired. She was so tired. And tomorrow, they would start again and go after Sebastian. And come face-to-face with Lilit...
Several things had come to pass during that time, including the confirmation that she was not carrying the future Lord Warwick. Nor had Judith received any messages from her husband, other than one that had been delivered when Sir Lelan and a group of others had arrived from Warwick, nearly a mon...
Cale’s words rang in Narcise’s head, and now that the agonizing feather had been removed from the back of her dress, she could actually feel. And breathe. Her strength came rushing back, the numbness deserted her. She wanted him to have her. Her fingers shook, her belly fluttered and leaped, she ...
At first Keely thought one of the workers had left something behind and was coming back to get it, but when she looked up, it was her sister walking through the door. “Becca!” She rushed over and tackle-hugged her. “Whoa,” her sister said with a laugh, extracting herself and setting her handbag—o...
She seemed to have overcome, or at least concealed, her mislike and fear of riding. When he leaned forward to speak into her ear, she straightened as if startled. “Tell me, Lady Madelyne, how did you come to the abbey, and leave your father to believe you and your mother drowned?” She was quiet f...
And then she saw the trail…smears along the floor and the short hall to the back of the apartment. “Chas?” she called, dashing through the empty living room to the single, small bedroom in the back. “Chas?” The smell of blood was stronger back here, and suddenly terrified by what she’d find, Mace...
Especially since she hadn’t slept very well last night, after the great, awful revelation in the kitchen. Grady knew her. And he knew what she’d done—or tried to do. How he’d hid the fury and loathing he clearly felt was a mystery—though she did remember that flash of irritation she’d noticed whe...
Miss Stoker said as we rode off in her carriage. “I have no blooming idea. But I’m certain they were there in her workroom. I might be new at this, but I have instincts. They leave a light, deathlike odor behind. The UnDead were there for certain, and recently. Likely just before dawn.” “Right.” ...
The design was distinctive: elegant curlicues of metal twining along the pin, decorated with five small rubies. Of course, identifying the owner didn’t necessarily mean she, or—one couldn’t eliminate any possibilities at this time—he, was involved in Corvindale’s disappearance. But the fact that ...
It could also be George, Sara, or any one or all of them. She didn’t really believe it was Max, but he’d taught her to consider all possibilities. Oh God. Max. Victoria realized she was curling her fingernails into her palms. She didn’t like to imagine the way he’d look at her the next time she s...
Marisa Bengotti tasted, smelled, felt as amazing as he’d always imagined. No…better. Her warm skin, soft and sweet, was the slightest bit salty. The unique scent of her hair, bright and citrusy and sexy as all hell, tangled in his nostrils and mingled with the heat and essence of her. She had no ...
In the time since her debut, not only had Victoria proved herself an incomparable Venator—stunning even Max with her intelligence, fortitude, and determination—but he had also married the blasted woman. Together—and, admittedly, with some help from Sebastian Vioget—Max and Victoria had driven mos...
