Victor - Oooooh I have a new vamp-crush!!!! Victor is Strong by name and character! He may be an ancient vampire but he still wants a companion..the recent feeds from donors have done nothing to sate his appetite. When the most delectable aroma reaches him when he is asked for help by his doorman/friend, his thirst rises. His faithful friend is worried about Victors unravelling control on his darker side. But when Victors damsel in distress is also a reminder of a friend from the past, he soon understands that she has some secrets of her own to hide. Fabulous start to a new multi-author series. Victor could be too over-bearing I suppose for some but to me he was just the perfect balance. I loved the camaraderie he had with vampires and trusted humans alike. Flint - Flint is happy for Victor and his new found happiness but he could do with some luck on the girlfriend front himself! He heads to the club looking for some fun, looking for some action and trying to fill up this new found time on his hand whilst Victor is on his extended honeymoon. He decides to go on a holiday and ends up heading to Scotland! But when he flied over the Edinburgh area on the way to the airport his thirst erupts in full force. Kenzie has been having weird dreams of the hot variety! But when she is out and about in Edinburgh she comes face to face by some supernatural hunters. When Flint charges to the rescue he realises she is his bloodmate and then the real fun begins! OOOOh this was fab! I loved the big battle scene and the engaging chatter between the characters, all adding to the "real-feel" of the characters even though they are fictional! It's always great when a book is set in Scotland, I'll forgive the fact this was Edinburgh based LOL. Ace and Talon were wonderful additions and I really want to know more about a certain scaryass council woman! Quinn - Quinn may have it all but even this wealthy and ancient vampire is missing something...a mate! Quinn doesn't really trust anyone except Victor and Thorne, his trusty friend, sidekick and 2nd in command. He especially doesn't trust the Directive. But Quinn is slowly loosing his vice like grip on himself. His urges are getting out of hand and nothing slakes his thirst, for blood or sex. When he has to go to Hong Kong on business he almost loses it on his jet! But when Jana turns up and lets the cat out of the bag that his bloodmate is near and in danger, Quinn will tear the world apart to find her and keep her safe. I thought that it was totally like a man to miss all the signs right in front of their face. I mean they've just been through Victor's escapades and Quinn and Thorne are missing all the same cues *facepalm*** So bloodlust running rampant - check. Blackmailed by the Russian Mafia - check. Supernatural traffickers after your bloodmate - check. Directive flinging their weight about - check. Fabulous read in a superb series. Wunderbar! Deadly Masquerade - With a ball organised to introduce some of those vampires lucky enough to find their Bloodmates, the need for a diplomatic touch is never more needed. But not all of out happy mates are quite so happy. Kimber is feeling the separation from her and Victor's little one deeply. And Victor, well he does too but he seems to be callously sweeping away Kimber's misgivings about the ball, attributing them to feeling sad about leaving the wee one behind. As we get swept up in the preparations for the Ball, Victor, Quinn, Flint, Grey and their mates are eager to cement new alliances with other mated couples. But Tempers aren't the only things fraying! When the ring of steel security is breached, Victor takes it personally, after all he was warned, several times, by Kimber. Great addition to the series and I loved meeting all my favourite couples once more, even some who I have only seen mention of prior. Fabby!
