Deception
Vampires in America #9
by D.B. Reynolds
Goodreads blurb:
Kauai, Hawaii—tropical paradise, vibrant jungle, turquoise sea... and
sensuous nights that hide vampires so powerful they can change the world.
Raphael—powerful, extraordinary, arrogant. He’s been eliminating rivals and gathering allies, determined not just to survive, but to demolish the Europeans who think they can steal what he’s worked for centuries to create. In a final bid to avert a war that seems inevitable, Raphael agrees to meet an enemy he knows of old. She is formidable, wily, and not to be trusted. But in his arrogance, Raphael believes he can foil whatever treachery she has brewing.
Cynthia Leighton—Raphael’s human mate, beautiful, smart, and deadly when threatened. She doesn’t trust anyone, much less a powerful vampire claiming to want peace. So while Raphael prepares to negotiate a treaty, Cyn is preparing for the inevitable double-cross that she knows is coming. Raphael worries about saving thousands of vampire lives. She only cares about one, and she will do anything to keep him alive and in her arms.
When Cyn is proven right, when it all falls apart and Raphael’s enemies draw on ancient magic to trap him, taking him away from Cyn and out of the war, it all falls to her—to find Raphael, to save the thousands of vampires who will die if she doesn’t succeed... and to kill every single being, human or vampire, who gets in her way.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns
- I loved it!!
***Received ebook from Belle Books
for an honest review
The
cover is beautiful and desperate all at the same time! Love it!!
This
is book 9 in the series and the first book dealing with the war. Of course, this whole series is for adults
only due to the violence and steamy scenes contained within the pages. It stars my favorite people…vampires are
considered people too, right ;) Anywho,
Raphael and Cyn are here and all their friends!!
WOW!! I can’t even put into words how much I loved
this book! The books with Cyn and
Raphael are always my favorites, but this was the best of the best in the
series!! Their personalities,
interactions, and of course the people who love them just make everything click
together perfectly. Cyn definitely had her
work cut out for her in this book. All
of our favorites are here, and we get to know Ken’ichi (Juro’s brother) better
:)
D.B.’s
creativity is amazing in her storylines and plot. Her words are always perfection that images
leap off the pages and into your head as you read. You can always feel the emotion of the
characters that if you like me…you really love, so you feel their pain, relief,
and joy right along with them. It is
like being Bastien in the Neverending Story right there with the
characters. D.B. is on my list of
favorite vampire romance series. She
blends tons of action with lots of love and steamy romance and does with a
perfection that makes each story an epic adventure that you do not want to put
down.
I
highly recommend this entire series to all readers who enjoy vampire
books. If you are a fan of vampire books
written by Lynsay Sands or Kerrelyn Sparks, and you have never read this series….what
are you thinking?? You really need to :)
Interested in reading???
See my other reviews for this
series!!!
