Immortal Craving Review

Immortal Craving

By Kendra Leigh Castle

Summary

The last-and most lethal-of his kind . . . Wild, uncontrollable, and powerful, the lion-shifting Rakshasa were hunted down by vicious rival vampires who feared their dark, magical abilities. Somehow one survived, and now, after centuries of hiding, Tasmin Singh reemerges as fierce and fearless as ever at the door of the Lilim queen, seeking answers . . . and sanctuary.

The human best friend to a vampire queen, Bay Harper traded her quiet, comfortable life for a world filled with immortal assassins, warring werewolves . . . and this hauntingly sexy shifter. Only Bay's gentle touch can subdue Tasmin's inner demons, even as he brings out a passion and sensuality she never imagined she could feel. But when a bloody struggle threatens to tear them apart, can Bay risk everything on her faith in him-or will his dark side be stronger than even their all-consuming desire?

What I Loved

Characters
Tasmin: He has a wonderful little surprise for Bay about his sexual experience that I absolutely loved. He was also just the right amount of cocky, self assured/importance and vulnerable to make him completely lovable and at times infuriating. 
Bay or Bailey: I loved many things about her character. I love how stubborn she is about not falling into the glitz and glamor that a vampires life is, she has stayed on the outside and hasn't fallen pray to all the other sexy vampires. She also has an awesome dog sidekick that makes for some fun comedic relief.
Romance 
Fantastic amount of romance, sex appeal, bedroom scenes and sexual tension between the two characters. 

Storyline
A part of the storyline was achieved and wrapped up in this book, but things aren't completely fixed and ready to be finished. I love how all the previous couples make an appearance and are still part of the story. It is wonderful to not have to say goodbye to them completely, but at the same time get another new and exciting love story.

What I Missed
In the previous books the men are Cait Sith, cat shifting vampires and the hottest thing about them is that they purr. The sexy Tasmin, being a lion shifter of the Rakshasa doesn't purr. I was a little saddened when I found out that lions don't purr and he wouldn't be purring in the book. While there isn't any purring there is still plenty to love about him and this book.

Recommendation 
The forth book in the series and well worth the continuation of reading the series as well as picking up the series for the first time. Perfect for all paranormal romance readers.

Shadow Rising Review

Shadow Rising

By Kendra Leigh Castle

Summary

Ancient Secrets, Dark Passions...

As one of the Grigori, a noble vampire dynasty shrouded in mystery, Ariane has spent her life hidden away in the desert. Like all of her kind, she is a watcher, fated to observe, forbidden to act. Yet when her best friend, Sammael, vanishes, she defies all rules and flees her safe haven to bring him home.

A shape-shifting assassin for the House of Shadows, Damien Tremaine is hired to locate Sammael. His hunt for the wayward Grigori leads him to Ariane, the rogue vamp who stands between him and his bounty. Damien never lets emotion interfere with his work, but a single touch from the sexy, beguiling vampire shatters his self-control. Drawn together by their common goal, what begins as an alliance of necessity soon becomes one of desire. But when the secret at the dark heart of the Grigori comes to light, Damien and Ariane must make a choice that could bind them eternally...or tear them—and everything they care about—apart.

What I Loved

Series
Shadow Rising is book 3 in this amazing Dark Dynasties series filled with sexy cat shifting vampire men that purr with a strong female character to complement those bad boys purrfectly. Each book contains a different set of lovers with an overall story arc throughout the series and individually plots within each book. We still get to see the previous couples throughout the series, thankfully, I would miss the other characters too much if their story was done completely.
Characters
Ariane: An innocent vampire, that one doesn't happen often, and I really like her character even more for it. But she can also kick some ass when the need arises, so no weak and whiny dames in this book.
Damien: Oh I absolutely love him. Love his sarcastic attitude that can get him into some major trouble. He is that bad boy that every girl just falls for and wants to be the one to fix and love him. Here is a perfect quote that shows his sex purring mixed with his attitude. "To his shock, he had to swallow back an inadvertent purr. He didn't purr for anyone. Anyone. And certainly not for something as cheap as a little attention."

Romance
Hot and sexy as hell. What can I say I'm a sucker for each purr that these Cait Sith produce.
Story
We get to finally learn about the Grigori and all their secrets and their secrets are awesome. I loved how Kendra has yet again woven another piece of fantasy so masterfully into this fantastic world.

Didn't Like

What the hell is there not to like in these books or this series. The only thing I don't like is the book having to end and wanting the next book, the next story and the next set of lovers.

Recommendation 

Everyone that reads paranormal romance has got to read this series, how can you pass up hot men that purr!

For centuries, shapeshifting vampire Tynan MacGillivray has prowled the night as an outcast, valued only for his ferocious hunting skills.
