Detectives Warren Davis & his partner, Matthew Eric, the latest case they
got is looking more and more like a supernatural killing. As the best of the
best in S.U.I.T division, they are determined to find the killer and bring
justice before more bodies pile up.
Natasha
Hemingway is thrilled to finally have a job after six months of unemployment
and is enjoying her normal life with no supernatural person(s) around her until
the day she is thrust into the world of shifters, vampires and other creatures
with an ability that could save lives. Now she is not only dealing with two
detectives but two of the hottest vampires around. Can she help them figure out
who is killing all these people before the killer sets his sight on her?
D.N. Simmons
delivers one spellbinding ride from start to finish in her introduction to the
Knights of the Darkness Chronicles in DESIRES UNLEASHED. Sexy, gritty
and downright action packed. The reader is pulled into this world where
supernatural beings live, work and play right alongside the human population.
The writing was tight, story moved at a nice, even pace and the action ebbed
and flowed nicely, keeping me on the edge of my seat till the very end. What I
loved the most was the three core paranormal beings here-werewolves,
were-cheetahs and vampires-that are front and center in this story.
The author
does a great job in conveying their differences and the way they lived
together. I liked how some secondary characters had distinct personality quirks
as well. It made them more life-like to me. The characters themselves were very
engaging and quite entertaining. I got to admit, I absolutely adored Darian and
Xavier the most. Sexy, adorable and downright luscious these two were. The
sparks between them magnified when they met Natasha and these three stole my
heart in more ways than one.
I have got
to stress; this book sets up the series so there is a lot going on with many
different characters being introduced to the reader. Keep at it and eventually
it will all come together. The sex scenes are hot yet sensual; it enhances the
storyline and doesn’t take it over. D.N. Simmons delivers a high octane ride
from start to finish and I enjoyed every minute of it. The ending has a few
twists that had me dropping my jaw in disbelief and flipping the page like mad
to see what happens next. Please note this book has been extensively rewritten
and re-released so it may be changed from an earlier copy.
If you are
looking for a different paranormal/urban fantasy story then grab DESIRES
UNLEASAHED and get lost in this world of paranormal creatures, mysteries
and where romance blooms when you least expect it. I can’t wait to see what
else this author has up her sleeve for readers in the next book in The Knight
of the Darkness Chronicles.
