The Darkness Within by Rebecca Hefner

5.0

A wonderful steamy addition to Rebecca Hefner’s vampire and slayer series. Darkrip, son of the Dark Lord has spent centuries fighting his dark urges that flow from his father’s blood. He swore to his mother that he would change his ways for her. Arderin, whose scenes of longing to live in the human world were some of my favorite, is a temptation and perhaps the key to his happiness. But of course, his evil father gets in the way, trapping them in a cave together and ordering them to produce super-poweful spawn he can use for his nefarious purposes… (cue evil music!) I LOVE this series for its complex world building, snark, hawt steamy scenes and wonderful characters. Darkrip and Arderin were delicious together! Rebecca Hefner writes wonderfully romantic, passionate paranormal romance, and I love that her books not only focus on the main couple we’re getting to watch fall in love in the current book, but we get to continue with the love stories of the couples from the previous books. Paranormal romance fans should check out these slayers and vamps as they find their true mates!
