Daemon's Blood: A Dark Paranormal Romance (Atiernan Book 1): Daemon Blade Book 1

Mind-Blowing FANGtastic An inescapable attention grabbing story with thrilling mind blowing twists that get the adrenaline pumping and emotions flowing with heart, frustration and fear that keep you captive and dwelling on the intense drama long after the pages have been read. Sizzling hot chemistry that had me warm and squirming. A fantastic story that gets under your skin and sinks it's claws deep from beginning to the intense cliffy that locks me in suspense wanting more.

Fantastic start to a new series! 5 stars Daemon’s Blood is a fantastic start to a new series. The enemies-to -lovers trope is my absolute favourite in the romance genre and I just adored the push and pull between the daemon lord Atiernan and the witch Miranda, not to mention the sexual tension and smoking hot scenes! The worldbuilding is well done, as is the supporting cast. Miranda is a complex character – strong minded but fragile due to how she is regarded within her coven. The author does a brilliant job of portraying her emotions and how she aches for acceptance within her kind and her determination to thwart the demands of her captor. Atiernan is equally complex and has his own reasons to despise those of Miranda’s ilk, as she does his. I enjoyed the complexities of his character too and how, as the book progresses, we learn snippets of his own tragic back story. Although dangerous to Miranda he is not the monster she expected, and they are drawn together even as they remain enemies. Yet can their tenuous bond survive when trust is in question and secrets abound? Powerful forces are at play, intent on destroying all that Atiernan holds dear, and he cannot let a witch stand between him and saving his people from the evil that threatens to destroy them. There were so many twists and turns in the plot I was kept entertained throughout. The book ends on a number of revelations and a cliffhanger, and I cannot wait to read the second book in the duet which will conclude the couple’s story, not to mention other stories set within the world the author has created.

This sinfully seductive read quickly sank its tantalizing claws into me and has me viciously craving more! Miranda and Atiernan's story gets off to a wickedly tempting start with a lush combination of scorching heat, brutal intensity, raw emotion, captivating drama, taut tension, breath stealing danger and jaw dropping twists. I really liked these two and find myself very intrigued by the layers that are in play here. Of course this is only book one of two for this couple so that means there is a looming cliffy ahead. As for myself, I thought it was amazing. Can't wait for book two!! This is my frank, freely posted review.
