"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!
