fallingwings's review against another edition
2.0
Nope.
Even vampires aren't immune to insta love apparently.
Also, why does it feel like sex scenes were written by a different person than the rest of this book? It's like a bad porno with gag worthy lines.
Apparently working for someone for 10 years means nothing if you aren't the gender your boss is sexually attracted to. But damn, if you are that gender, you can expect to get immediately hired and given access to most things within a matter of weeks that the other person wasn't privy to during the entire decade they worked.
The cover is lovely though and I actually really liked Marcus overall (except for that part above. Seriously, 10 years. Where is your loyalty, man? Why are you acting like some corporate hotshot?).
Ethan was an okay character, but I just could not get over the fact that he had a mission and a motive that was flushed down the drain because he had the hots for the person he was supposed to be watching/targeting. I hate it when physical attraction makes a character throw everything out the window without hardly any hesitation or questioning (or the fact Marcus was pretty much the only Vampire he knew/met that wasn't bloodthirsty, so his logical was that...all vampires are good? What?)
Lovely cover
Intriguing ideas
But it just fell flat for me personally

What a great series.
I love Ms. Drakes book. Her collaboration with Rinda Elliot was a great series also. I have now read all five books in this series and am off to the short stories, novella and the spinoff now. They all have all the feels you come to expect along with the heat and heart felt laughter. I highly recommend all of these books. Enjoy!!

"I don't want to hurt you more."
"You're not. I'm already healing."
I enjoyed this book! I absolutely adored Marcus's transformation from shy, virginal vampire to...well, read the book if you're curious 😉
Really enjoyed the flashback in the beginning. Kind of wish there were others throughout the story too! Ethan was great, but I really enjoyed the Variks. This was a quick read and predictable at times but I liked the story overall. The end felt a bit rushed which is why the score was docked a little bit.
Claiming Marcus has
🎹 Boss/employee dynamics
🎹 Mystery and tension
🎹 Lots of action
🎹 Shy, virginal vampire that fumbles a little bit through his firsts
🎹 Incredibly deep brotherly love with lots of banter
🎹 Touch him and die
🎹 Your wish is my command
I'll likely check out the other books as they seem to follow the other brothers. Looking forward to it!

I went into this expecting not to like it because of the obvious betrayal built into the plot, but I liked it much better than I was expecting. Overall, I wasn't super enthralled by Marcus and Ethan but still very enjoyable.

it was a decent story. I loved the relationship development and banter, but I'm not interested enough to read the rest of the series.
