Publisher's summary

Secrets can't hide in daylight....

Hudson, Valen, Sylvain, and Marcus revealed their secret to Briar Hale, and she astonished them. The four vampires hadn't expected her to handle their revelation so easily, but Briar is a scientist and recognizes there are all manner of creatures in the world - some benign, some predatory, and some, like the brothers' maker, pure evil.

Caught in Asher's sights, Briar fights not only to stay alive, but to stay sane. Asher is in her head, whispering doubts and bringing to light her vampires' hidden pasts. He shows her everything - every bloody, terrible, heart-wrenching moment.

But she is stronger than Asher and the horrors stalking her vampires. Briar loves them, and she won't give them up, nor will she let them give up on each other.

With war on the horizon, Briar, Hudson, Valen, Sylvain, and Marcus will have to fight Asher and the secrets threatening to rise up and destroy them.

Contains mature themes.

Good story but still a little slow

The story is interesting and the steam is rising. Not as steamy as I prefer but the bond of the group is strong. I still feel like parts of the story dragged but didn’t take away too much from the overall enjoyment of the book

SLOW. This has the content of an essay.

Absolute garbage. It’s all filler and could be a great short story. The first book had the content and character development of an introductory paragraph, the second was a stump of a short story. There is a difference between a “cliff hanger” and not finishing the story intended.

This author needs to ask themselves “what is the objective of this book”.
