One face book user wrote - "If Twilight and 50 shades of grey ad a baby, then that baby grew up and only lived on steroids, became a bad ass and wasn't afraid to get its hands dirty, that would be this book." 5 Star Amazon UK Review -"Where to start? I don't normally like books written in the first person, so found the first chapter difficult while I got used to it. But after that I was hooked. Velvet is well written. Her character is developed gradually, and the reader gets to know her over a few chapters. The descriptions are, well descriptive, but without being intense and boring. Just enough to let your imagination take over. No sparkly vampires - they're as beautiful, manipulative and nasty as you would expect a vampire to be, but also loyal, respectful and above all, sexy. The f word isn't overused, unlike other books that spring to mind. The sex is sometimes bawdy, sometimes gentle but never over done. I'm looking forward to seeing where Velvet goes from here."5 Star Amazon UK Review -"I really enjoyed the read. I found the main character relatable and down to earth. it was nice to see a lead female who was a little more mature (27) so no teenagers losing their virginity or madly falling in love at first sight.The story kept me wanting to read more and after just the first chapter I was totally hooked. There is plenty of action, it's raw and gritty and I love how the vampires are malicious and very sexy. It also gives different takes on witches and hunters which I really enjoyed.It is nice to see a strong female lead who doesn't rely on a man saving her all the time. Highly recommend and can't wait for the next book."5 Star Amazon UK Review -"If you're into anything with a bite and some feisty love, well this is most definitely the book for you! I absolutely loved it and can't wait for book 2! Definitely a five star rating from me!"5 Star Amazon UK Review -"Fantastic adult fantasy adventure, with a great storyline and plenty of sauce. The vampires don’t sparkle in this one sweetie, they bite and suck!"- This book contains explicit content and is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18
