I'm a killer and I'm good at it.

It's not something you can put on a resume or bring up during a date -- but we all have our secrets.

The visions I see at night are part of mine.

The Elders send me visions of my new targets -- chosen by them -- for me to kill. I don't determine if they are good or bad -- just that their fate is to die by my hand.

Questioning the Elders is suicide. I am just a monster for them to direct.

One night my vision features four sinfully yummy men. They seem to find me delicious as well.

When my life gets thrown into chaos, these men are the only ones I can trust.

What happens when I am not the monster I've always believed myself to be?

I went from being the killer to the target.

One thing is for sure, I don't plan on remaining anyone's prey.

Infernally Mine is the first book in a paranormal RH/#whychoose romance series with assassins, shifters, and a succubus. Intended for mature audiences (18+). Contains MM, foul language, and violence.

This started of brilliant it was aggressive and had some attitude I loved Mara and her attitude! Then the men entered and it all became a bit meh! Then everything was so rushed all ect the sex scenes, now don't get me wrong I love a good sex scene I just think in my opinion this book lost its way a little!

LOVED this book!
Independent reviewer for Gay Romance Reviews, I was gifted a copy of this book.

Oh yeah, I LOVED this book! So much!

Angelo and Spencer have a great deal of . . .not hatred cos that is too strong a word, but they really dislike each other, with a passion. And it's that passion that spills things over into something much more, something neither of them dreamed of.

So much passion, from these two, it burned the page! While what they say to themselves is hatred of the other, deep down, they both know that there is something more between them and getting stuck in a snow storm together is the time to let it all out, and just FEEL, you know?? So much the feels!

I loved the speed at which these guys fell, once they admitted to themselves at least what they were actually feeling. Usually I don't but the whole book (bar the epilogue) takes place over a few days, some 125 pages, so for it to work, it has to be fast. I loved that they were all in.

Both guys have a say, in the first person, so we get it all from them both. How much Spencer riles Angelo up. How much Spencer gets a kick out of calling him Angel. How much what they both want from the other means to them. LOVED these guys, I really did!

Can't see that I've read anything else by this author, and now I want more!

5 stars

It gripped the reader (0 more)
Can get a bit confusing (0 more)
This book was interesting but also a little confusing. There was quite a few stories going in which did slightly affect it. You have to keep track who the new chapters were about. When it was on Polly's story the chapters did tend to follow on from each other.
I couldn't of guessed what happened at the end of the book and it was a little sad. The only other disappointing thing with the book was some parts of the story went unanswered (I tend to like things all tied up) but I suppose that was one of the messages in the story - not everything has an answer.
The book genre was crime, a little romance and something else and these are all genres I would generally read and the blurb grabbed my attention. Once I got over the first few chapters I couldn't put the book down. I was hooked and couldn't wait to see what happened next.
As well as the changing on the story the other thing that affected the flow of the book was the spelling mistakes (but this could be corrected) in a further copy.
I like a book where the characters grow as people as this was definitely one of those. The main character, Patti, grew so much with the help of Polly.
I would purchase another book by the author.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

***ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.***

Something caught me early on with this. It was probably Liam’s “I-know-I’m-good-and-don’t-need-to-prove-it” mentality. The way nothing phased him until he met Devon Candler and everything went right out the window.

Devon could literally be the definition of sex and though she wants Liam she tries to resist him. You cant help but like her, really, with her tough chick attitude. She could certainly look after herself and designed some bad-ass weapons.

That being said, I have to admit I got a little bored in places. It might have been all the description, which I’m not that big a fan of, or the really long paragraphs (also not a fan of) and kept putting it down the more we got into the story, just wanting the plot to hurry up and play out. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a good book and I’m glad I read it but there wasn’t any introduction to the new world we were in, that’s my only problem with it apart from the above-mentioned things but they relate to me personally.

It was certainly something a little different to what I normally read and I honestly did enjoy it.

If you like something futuristic with paranormal vibes then this is probably right up your street. Add a splash of romance and you’re all set for an intense journey.

Just brilliant
Sam Parker is a vampire with a gift so strong and substantial that she is invited to partake in a test for a place in the Grand High Master Vampire’s private army. She finds that not only has the army never included a woman, but it has never included a Sventé vampire; a breed that is regarded by the super strong Pagori breed and the hypnotically beautiful Keja breed to be too tame and human-like. Most refuse to take her seriously, especially a Pagori commander named Jared who she craves in spite of herself.

The Grand High Master, however, sees her potential and offers her the position of Jared’s co-commander to help train the newest squad in time for the impending attack on his home. Sam has to demonstrate to Jared and the squad of chauvinists why it is incredibly foolish to underestimate a willful, temperamental, borderline-homicidal Sventé female.

Warning: This novel contains an iron-willed female vampire with an energy whip, a sexist male vampire who is determined to have her, explicit vampy sex, and a romance story with real bite.So when I looked at the title I thought this isn't going to be good but I am so glad I was wrong!! I loved it! From start to finish it was brilliant. I love that she's British I love that she kicks arse! Jared's not to bad either. It did remind me of the same style as some of Keri Arthur's books which I also love. So looking forward to reading more from Suzanne.

Best vampire priest film ever!
The director of Oldboy brings you his own unique spin on the vampire film. A priest is assisting victims of a plague in Africa when he becomes afflicted with a unique illness he can't initially identify.

The moral Christian values slowly start to change as his lust for blood and sex consume him. He must continually inject the rose colored ambrosia to stave off boils from covering his entire body. He begins an affair with a married woman unbeknownst to her family or husband. Her lust and passion are fulfilled as well since she is unhappy with her husband and her marriage.

The priest is constantly torn between his former religious believes and his current immoral desires which are consuming him. His relationships evolve as he can now relieve the suffering of those who want to end their lives while assisting to maintain his own.

Will his desires or his new romance get the best of him?

Watched this as part of my October horror-a-thon, and was not disappointed. The concept for the film is completely unique in a good way and is assisted by pristine, sets, camera work and lighting. Some of the imagery will certainly catch your attention as something you have not seen before and the plot will keep you guessing.

The 135 minute running time did seem to drag a bit toward the middle of the film, but it gains traction and motors through the last hour rather quickly.

I really liked this one.
