URBAN FANTASY REVIEW: Rajmund - DB Reynolds

Release Date: 30/07/10

BOOK BLURB:

New York City vampire Rajmund Gregor is the undisputed master of The Big Apple. He bows to no one but his Sire, the Vampire Lord Krystof, who has ruled the Northeast for hundreds of years. But when Krystof summons Rajmund to his headquarters in Buffalo, Raj finds his master slowly descending into madness and his territory crumbling around him. Raj is the only one of Krystof's children strong enough to seize power, but he'll have to save his master before he can destroy him. Several women have gone missing and the local police are convinced a vampire is behind it. Is Krystof so lost to reality that he's capturing and murdering human women? Is a rogue vampire moving into Krystof's territory for the kill? Or is it something far more insidious, something that could threaten the existence of vampires everywhere? Sarah Stratton is living a lie. Her past holds a secret she shares with no one-not even her good friend Cynthia Leighton, the West Coast vampire lord's mate. It's a secret that could destroy her carefully constructed life as a professor at a Buffalo university. It's also a secret that could save the lives of the missing women. To save them, however, she must enter Buffalo's vampire community and put herself into the care of Rajmund Gregor. But can she trust Raj, the dangerously seductive vampire who wants to lay claim to far more than her secrets?


REVIEW:

Having read Donna’s writing before she was published, I have been lucky enough to keep up with things as she’s gone from strength to strength. What makes this, Donna’s third title so successful however is that the author seeks to satisfy the reader’s lusty demands, blending dialogue that is not only gripping but also enveloped an overall arc that is deliciously desirable for the reader that will keep you entrenched within the hypnotic world of Dark Urban Fantasy.

If you haven’t yet had the chance to try one of Donna’s books I’d advise you to give her a go as you get something for everyone within. There’s Sara, our sexy leading lady, buff Ubervamps (Kristoff and Rajmund), a lot of sexual chemistry and above all else a lot of temptation within the covers. A great way to spend a few hours within the imaginative world of DB Reynolds although don’t be surprised if the wicked thoughts inspired within last long into the night as you swap your allegiances between the villain and the heroes.
