They might not like feeling that way, but they were helpless to change those feelings. Another 4.5 Vampire stars! This book? Amazing as always. Just when I thought nothing will beat my previous read, Gege proves me wrong. Rawr. ~I devour this book. Can't even put it down. Need to finish asap. LOL. And I was successful, done with it in a day. ~I developed a crush on McKell when he showed up in Devyn's story (Seduce The Darkness). Even though he's described as the big-bad-vampire, I was interested and thought what will happen if he will have a story and who will be the lucky heroine, and voila, he definitely have one! Hurray! I love him, his innocence to the world, his honesty, his ability, his vampirism, his body- yep definitely his BODY. LOL. (drooling-much) He's just soo him yet so unique. Can't find a single fault on him. The heroine? AVA? Super like her. Her attitude? Her wit? Her fighting-skills? Her phobia? Love all of her. :))I giggled, laughed, screamed, fell-in-love and got hyped up the entire time I read this! Sooo many funny moments, esp. if it involved the AIR agents. Dallas, Hector, Mia, and definitely NOELLE. Phew. Even the dog-named-HELL, I love. Soo cuteeee esp. when she's around McKell ~I really admire Gege's way of making each character stand-out and be loved despite him/her being a villain. (talking about the Schon Queen in which Dallas develop a particular-liking) ~Recommend it? ABSOLUTELY. You should read it NOW. ~
What do You think about Sanglante Extase (2013)?
Good but not great. The heroine was a little to insecure for my taste.
