Darkest Heart by Juliette Cross

Profile:

"Anya—a stoic, blue-winged angelic warrior—was bitten by a demon prince in battle, and now she has precious little time to find a cure for his deadly venom. But the only archangel with the power to stop the dark poison from corrupting her body and soul is missing. She’ll have to trust her guide, the outcast high demon Dommiel, who is as handsome as he is dangerous if she has any hope.

An outcast of his own kind, high demon Dommiel stays under cover while the war between angels and demons rages on. When the only person who ever showed him kindness asks for his help, he has no choice but to try to save the angel. Venturing back into the dens he has avoided for so long, Anya makes him want and feel things he never thought possible.

But Dommiel knows there is no way an angel can ever love a demon…"

"Darkest Heart" by Juliette Cross

My Thoughts....

What a captivated read that will keep you turning the pages to see what was coming next in this urban fantasy/paranormal read!  This was indeed a good read of a bad boy demon finally getting his redemption.  Is this what happens when a jaded demon and a warrior angel come together? What was the secret that Anya kept from Dommiel? Why was finding Uriel so very important for Anya?   Be ready for a read with lots of action, very intensed 'story between good and evil, hatred, love, vengeance, salvation'  and with some very complexed and passionate characters. And let's not leave out the hot passions of attraction as these two Dommiel and Anya who journeyed  through the depths of darkness had for each other. Will Anya be able to put her 'trust in this high demon Dommiel to find Uriel and save her soul.' What I especially enjoyed about this story was how the author brought in that 'a soul can always be saved."

So, if you are into reading a good story in the Dominion series ... I would definitely recommend "Darkest Heart" and all you will get from the characters, the romance and the world lore...you will simply enjoy it all.

"Druid Vampire Requiem" by Kurokoneko Kamen

My Thoughts...

This story continues on from this author's  'Druid Vampire' where we now have the Huntress, Becca out to defeat Dracula and save Derek Dearg. Will Becca be making a big mistake in doing this to Derek?  I liked how this author brings in Becca's family [the Thorns] who were quite a humorous as they came for  visit.

As the story moves on the reader will get some more interesting characters such as Homicide Detective Alex and his police dog Maddy. It was quite a read as Becca's family will be attacked by zombies and as Alex will try to help them however suddenly a vampire shows up.  Will all be lost?

Will San Francisco be save from this 'Zombie Apocalypse' attack?  What will happen when Becca is kidnapped by Dracula and the Battle Nun Kendra Knight and the mad scientist Dr. Lazar Robinovitch are also in this dungeon captured?  Will Becca be able to figure out the connection between the Battle Nun and Dracula before it's too late?  In the end will Becca be able 'to use this weakness against him [Dracula] and fulfill the prophecy?  Will Becca and Derek finally get a HEA?  To get all of  the answers to all of these questions  and so much more the reader will have to pick up this good read "Druid Vampire Requiem" to see how this author will present it so well to the readers.
