Taste of Darkness

Taste of Darkness by Katie Reus
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Four months after breaking free of Hell and saving Vega the Hybrid shifter, much has changed for Drake.
The Stavros’ pack has opened their home giving him sanctuary in this modern day. After being trapped in Hell for over fifteen hundred years, surfacing in this new world was daunting to say the least. With no money, family or even memories, depending on this new family leaves Drake feeling unworthy of his strong claiming feelings for Victoria. Victoria has no idea of what is truly going on in that thick skull of his. Typical male. With her possessive wolf nature telling her to just digging and claim what’s yours, all she needs is a sign that this is what he’s feeling too. That stealth dragon makes his intentions clear as day after Fight Clubbing it out at the shifter style MMA Octagon. Drake openly marks Victoria as his. But his balls out fighting style has opened up opportunity for other secrets to come to light. Realizing for the first time there are other dragons out there in the world not to mention family this drives Drake to see where he comes from.

Memories of a child’s life start to flood back to Drake, but can his new happiness overcome the bloodshed of hundred lifetimes? Can he unlock the mystery of his own mind to remember who betrayed him? That is before he has a chance to claim Victoria.. Who wants to die a fifteen hundred year old virgin anyway?

Victoria has no intentions of letting this male off the hook so easily. Together they set off seeking answers.
Fighting together for the idea of forever…

Throat tight, she shook her head. She wanted to feel his lips against hers, to feel the sensation of his bare skin against her bare body. Of course he hadn’t said he wanted to do more than kiss her, but she couldn’t stop her fantasies.

A Love story is a love story! Who doesn’t like to read about people who find themselves in one another? I tend to be lured more towards paranormal books for the soul reason they bring more to the table, creatively speaking. I mean when you read about people willing to love so hard that without the other life would end, isn’t that romance?! A book that tells of two people fighting all the odds and making a go at it gets me every time. With Katie Reus' books you get the heart melting I’ll die for you romance and then some. You have maniacal killers trying to sacrifice you to open the gates of Hell. Over bearing family members that tend to suffocate you. Crazy cut throat killers, some that you proudly call family others that just want blood. This was a great follow up after Darkness Awakened (book#1) the books don’t have to be read in order and can totally be read as a standalone.
With more dragons uncovered, and feelings flying I can’t wait to see who and what the next book in the series is going to be about. If you want paranormal romance and sizzling down and dirty sex, than this is the author and book for you!!
