They are a series to be reckoned with. I loved the series from start to now and am patiently waiting for the other 2 brothers Nico and Adrian's story. I gave it 5 stars because I didn't want to put it down. I would recommend this series to any Vampire lover.

I like the strain series because it looks at vampirism from a virus point of view and really makes you think.  Great story line and great characters!

I am just as hooked on this series as I am on the other psi series by Mandy Roth. I can't seem to get enough of this author and the shifters and vampires in the books. I love how Boomer was included in this book he is a favorite shifter in her stories for me.

This is a great series, and a great fantastical storyline compared to the vampire series that I am used to reading. This author brings you into the storyline and keeps your interest throughout the entire series.

Try Me is the second book in the series Demon Underground. It starts 3 days after the end of Bite Me. We learn a lot about their world and the different demons in it.
Val is still working with the special unit of the police dept. But now they all know she is part demon some accept her some don't.
Dan is having problems dealing with Lola.
Miacah tells Val that since the special book that told about the demons world was lost they don't know a lot about the different demons and their powers.
Val hears the name and told him that she has had the book since she was 5 and did not know it was the only copy. She never felt their power or even read it through it. So she takes them to Micah but that evening when the vampires and demons meet for a discussion about comming out the books are taken.
Their is a lot of tension between the vampires and demons and someone is poisoning the vampires.
Val is learning more about her powers and how to control Lola.  As she tries to find the book and keep peace between the vampires and demons.
This book was good and I read it straight through. I was given three books of this series and I have so far liked both and look forward to reading book 3 Fang Me.

So sad this is over. I will miss Giovanni and Beatrice. The whole series has been a page turner and I have not been able to put the books down. Highly recommend reading these books if sexy and exciting vampires are your thing. A must read!

I started reading J. R. Ward becase I wanted to see what all the "fuss" was about.  Let me tell you I wasn't disappointed.  Prior to reading her books I wasn't really into "vampire romance", (started with Christine Feehan's Carpathian series and after 3 books couldn't really get into her vampire books).  Now I can't seem to get enough of them (after reading Ms. Ward).  The characters she has created in this series are great.  Over time they've grown and developed throughout the series, and you find yourself rooting for one character or another.  She seems to introduce new characters along each book, which leads me to believe that she's far from being done with this series.  To date now, I have read all the books on this series and can't wait for Lover Aveneged to come out on 4/09.  It seems like I've been waiting on forever.  I highly recommend this series and give it a two thumbs up!

I had high hopes for Desire Unchained after reading the first in the Demonica series and Ione didn't disappoint!  This book has great sexual tension, characters that work well together and an ending that left me on the edge of my seat for Wraith's story.  This is one of my top favorite paranormal series.

Ended up getting sucked into the series and reading all 4 of the books out now in 1 weekend!!! Loved the characters. Fast paced plot that gets you hooked and you don't want to stop reading.  It was an easy read too, not so wordy that you can't flow though easily.  Definitely recommend for those who love the paranormal romance books.

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.

I know this is only the second book but I am so loving this series. After Tony and Augustin's unconventional romance in My Life Without Garlic I was excited to see what Ms. Bradford had in store for Claude's coven. Don't Stake My Life on It does not disappoint as Radney sets out to prove that he's not the loser or psychotic vampire his stunt with Augustin would indicate. And if along the way he happens to meet someone that captures his attention, well that's all for the better.

Truth be told I really didn't remember who Rad was until mention was made of his encounter with Augustin, which still only left me with a vague recollection of him. As the details of Rad's past are hinted at and revealed I realized that there was far more to him than previously known. While it's pointed out in the book that few vampires had a good experience when turned, we learn that Rad's was worse than most and that his early years were particularly traumatic due to a sadistic sire. Because of this he is squeamish about biting humans and avoids it whenever possible. Yeah, you read that right! A vampire who doesn't like to bite humans. Can you understand why I love this series? Ms. Bradford's characters do not fit the usual vampire romance stereotype. In the same vein (no pun intended), Andrew is not a super sexy human whose body is cut beyond belief. No, he's a slightly nerdy college student with a "soft" body, a big heart, and a double-dog dare from his twin brother to sex it up with the next attractive gay man he meets. It turns out that the attraction is mutual and that makes for one seriously hot make-out session.

While not fraught with the same level of snark as book one, Ms. Bradford insures that there are plenty of amusing moments to lighten the mood when needed. I like the new element she has added with the introduction of the hunters as they present a danger for both the vampires and the humans who love them. The relationship that develops between Rad and Andrew is sweet because they don't jump right in  at least not emotionally  preferring to get to know one another better before making an eternal commitment. I loved their chemistry and how well their personalities complemented one another. The end was great as Claude showed in no uncertain terms why he's the head of their coven. Don't Stake My Life on It was a great combination of humor, sexy fun times, romance, action, and a KILT and I enjoyed every page of it. I cannot wait for the next book in the series to find out who finds their mate next.

The Vampire In America series is one of my favorite PNR reads. I have enjoyed all the books and novellas in the series thus far, and since Raphael and Cynthia are the prime couple, I am always happy to have one of their novellas. This novella continues the theme of the war that has been building between the American and European vampires now amping up with preemptive strikes and subterfuge from the other side. A spy has infiltrated the Raphael's compound and his oh so charming sister, Alexandra, once again causes trouble and mayhem. Once before Cynthia stayed Raphael's hand when he would have dealt with his unruly, troublesome sister. Now she may come to regret that decision because it could cost Raphael his life.

I like seeing Raphael and Cyn's relationship progress as a couple amidst all the turmoil of trying keep the bad vamps out. Raphael likes to give orders and Cynthia enjoys not following them. It makes for some fun relationship issues as well as their passion that keeps things sizzling between them. Their obvious love for one another overarching all the action and intrigue keeps me coming back for more.

Fans of the series will be well pleased to be back with Raphael and Cynthia. This story also sets up some of the background for the next book in the series, VINCENT.

Just love this series. Glad she spent more time on werewolf story and PTSD recovery than the other story about wizards. I am up to date on this series and love it.

I am a huge reader of all things vampire and supernatural. I read the reviews about the Chicagoland Vampire and knew that I had to read it. I'm so addicted to these novels and Hard Bitten just left me wanting more. I can't wait til November for the next installment. I love the smart and witty characters. I love Merit. I wasn't sure How I felt about Ethan though until I got into the 3rd and 4th book, I really fell in love with him as well. I know there just has to be more to what happened then the way Chloe left the 4th book. It can't just end like that, and yes I did cry. I just couldn't believe what happened. I already pre-ordered Drink Deep and I am impatiently waiting... Keep up the great work Chloe!

It only took one book (Dark Secret) to get me hooked on Christine Feehan's books. Have read them all, some several times. Then I took them to work and got all 8 of the girls there hooked, Love them all but love the Dark series the best. Hope she keeps writing them, there are a lot of stories yet to be told.
