Not as good as the first book. I didn’t really like any of the leads, especially Miley. She just kept giving the male lead so many mixed signals and acting like a whiny baby when things didn’t go her way. I wasn’t as interested in her story after book one so I didn’t really think I would enjoy her book. It was fairly short so it wasn’t too bad of a read. Brynn and Bash is the one I’m most anticipating though.

This is book #2 of Deceit & Devotion and the two main characters are Miles and Zander. Miles is Tatum's best friend and Zander is the next demon brother out of three. Miles is a vampire and got forced to turn during a toxic relationship. This book is all about the ✨️plot✨️ with LOADS of trauma from both sides. I think I found my new obsession with Lola Glass, and I've committed myself to her goodreads groups 😂😂🫶

Loved it!

This was so much better than the first book. I liked the first book, but this one was great! Zander and Miley were a much more believable couple in their relationship dynamic, and the spice was just perfect! On to book 3 and Bash and Brynn.

I fell in love with the first book of the series almost instantaneously and I just knew How to Fall in Like with a Monster was gonna be just as good.


Miley is most definitely type A but she's also sassy and stubborn to boot but I think she's met her match. Zander might even be more stubborn than she is. For the most part, I liked her except for one scene when she was being a little annoying. Zander, surprisingly was giving off boss daddy vibes. In the previous books, he seemed freer than his brothers, more laid back but there was more to him. I liked it.


I was a little surprised by the plot, I wasn't expecting the MCs to face the challenges that they did but it was good. I loved the drama not only between the couple but with the problem that arose. The back and forth between Miley and Zander was great, there were more than a few laughable moments. I enjoyed seeing Tatum, Brynn, and the guys, I like that they're still part of the overall story. My favorite parts were the video chats and the text messages between all the characters, they were fantastic.


How to Fall in Like with a Monster was different but good. My love for this series continues. Speaking of continuing, that's two out of three friends to have found their HEA, I have a feeling I know who the third couple will be. I can't wait till Brynn gets her HEA.

This was another fantastic book in what is now my favorite series by Lola Glass! I've been excited to read Miles and Zander's book since she was transformed in book 1, and I loved watching Zander slowly seduce Miles with his easy acceptance and flirty teasing. Zander was so patient with Miles and her need for lists and time to think things over (something I totally understand), but he also wasn't above using his body and their natural attraction for each other in order to advance their relationship. It took me a while to connect with Miles at first, but once I discovered how similar we are, I grew to really love her as a heroine. Together Miles and Zander formed an unbreakable bond that worked for them, ultimately built on trust and love, and I can honestly say that Zander is top-tier book boyfriend material. I cannot wait to see how Bash and Brynn's relationship evolves in the next book🖤

Tropes: fated mates, relationship of convenience, no-strings attached, charming/tech-savvy hero, neuro-divergent heroine, friends-to-lovers, he falls first, monster romance, forced proximity, 'touch her and die' vibes, girl gang, found family, STEAMY🔥

I found this volume much more engaging than the previous one. The characters are described in a much more realistic way as well as their relationship. The fact that there is much less time jump surely helps. Even if the story is classic and we know in advance that it will be a hea it is very well brought. In addition, there are some details left here and there to make us want to discover another collection of the author featuring dragons. I don't think the last volume will be very surprising in the story but it doesn't matter. The reading is pleasant and we have a good time.

3.5/5 ⭐️
Miley and Zander missed their callings as lawyers. They fucking love contracts.

•••

Possible Triggers - Blood, toxic relationship, abusive ex, death, violence

•••

Tl;Dr - When Miley starts throwing up after a meal, she is not sure what it means. Could she be preggers? NAH! She just can’t eat any blood that doesn’t come from Zander because she’s a vampire and he’s her mate! But her ex is stalking her and she’s not sure how she feels about jumping into an ETERNAL relationship with a demon she hardly knows.

•••

The Characters -
Miley: New vampire with a slight addiction to Zander’s blood. She’s also being stalked. And running a chain of coffee shops. She deserves a spa day.

Zander: A technology loving demon that’s willing to use underhanded tactics to get his girl. He will also make pro-con list.

•••

My Thoughts - There was not a lot of action or angst in this book… but there were a lot of contracts. The spice was good. I wish the plot was less “I’m slightly neurotic and I’m not ready to jump into this relationship yet,” and more “I’m being stalked by my ex and tensions are high but it’s pulling us together anyway”. There just wasn’t any good tension. Nothing made my heart pound.

Still, an easy fun read. This world is cute. Zander is fun. Miley is logically to a fault and it’s kinda hilarious.

This is book two of the Deceit & Devotion series and the main characters are lust demon Zander (Alexander) Villin and Miley, who was turned six months ago by her vampire boyfriend Evan and then dumped. She had to reluctantly join a vampire clan led by his father Charlie, a night club owner, and the only way to tell them apart, was by a scar his father had above his eyebrow. She was saved after being drained by Evan, by Bash (Sebastian) Villin, who was a demon and also made himself her bodyguard. She knew him through one of her best friends, Tatum, who had mated with his younger brother Rafael. The Villins were hated, as they killed vamps who targeted humans when the supernatural government did nothing and were paid handsomely for it by the human government! Miley and her best friends Tatum and Brynn had opened a coffee and candy shop called Coffee & Toffee a few years ago and now had three locations open, with each of them taking different roles, Miley as an accountant dealt with all the finances, Brynn did the marketing and Tatum dealt with the recipes. They each got to run their own shop and were looking to open more. Miley has been lying to her friends and saying she was going to a yoga class in the evenings, but was instead going to the night club, which was vampire owned and run, where customers came and were keen to donate blood, to see if she could get over her aversion and avoidance of trying to drink form a person instead of a blood bag.

After six months, she finally pushes herself to do it even though it reminds her of being with Evan and it tastes foul! She goes to speak to Charlie in his office to try and work out why and is told it is probably because she has received blood from her possible mate! Now Bash has to find out who Zander has been getting to donate the blood to her and that will bring its own surprise! She is addicted to this person’s blood and won’t be able to survive without it. It would take her ten years to rid herself of this addiction and she had already been starving herself to try and build up a stockpile of blood for emergencies, so that won’t work. She needs to find them and either ask if they will be her permanent donor or see if they want to be turned into a vampire and bond with her. Not options that she is really happy with, especially after swearing off men and sex after falling for Evan and what he did to her. Turns out her ex-Evan doesn’t want to let her go even after he deserted her to die, whilst her potential mate doesn’t want to see her die and has been watching her, a lot! It turns out her potential mate is the wild one, Zander, the techie of the family. She thinks he hates her, as he has avoided being anywhere near her, when she was invited to family events, with Tatum and her mate who consider her family. They even let her take over their apartment, giving her some freedom, unlike their poor friend Brynn who stays with her dragon shifter brothers, who don’t allow her any real freedom as she is human and they insist on protecting her!

Zander it seems, only realised she was his mate when she was turned into a vampire, before that he was attracted to her and so avoided her as it was pointless to be with someone who isn’t your mate, for him anyway. Miley is a very organised persona and makes lists for everything, so when she has to figure out what to do about her blood donor and mate, she makes up a list of different options for them to consider. She should have realised he was her perfect match when he responded with more detailed lists of his own. She refuses to feed from him directly and doesn’t want him to feed directly from her, not quite knowing how demons actually feed. She has seen those who come to the night club and most have sex as they are feeding and it seems a very sexual act. Not anything she is happy to do and now the only person she can drink directly from is her mate! When he realises how much she has been starving herself as a newly turned vampire, when she should have been drinking more than a normal vampire, he forces her to move in with him. Being fated mates, they can’t really be far apart anyway, as she has seen from Tatum and Rafael. Being so close to him, she starts to find it really hard not to take matters further, as he is too attractive but also as stubborn as her! He responds to her with text mostly, back and forth, as he lets her settle into one of his spare rooms and he distracts himself with helping his brothers. They can’t stay away from each other for too long, as the desire for his blood gets ever stronger and drives her to distraction and to making a move, especially when other women look at him making her a tad jealous! She has to finally tell Zander about her ex, but they can’t kill him directly unless he makes a move in front of witnesses, as it would start a war, but he wants to kill his father and take over, with her at his side.

Zander has promised to protect her, whatever choice she makes about living together, or actually bonding with him, and it looks like he and his brothers will need to do something, as the threats against Miley get ever more serious and sick in nature! Because of the threat to Miley, her two best friends need to be protected as well, Tatum by her mate, whilst Brynn gets to live off the gossip from them both. Although hopefully, she will be finding her mate soon enough and be made immortal like the rest of her friends and family. Big decisions to be made for Miley and her relationship for life, with Zander, as she is tied to him through his blood and now possibly love. A hot and steamy read towards the end as they fall deeper into a relationship together, whilst Miley has to deal with the damage her ex did to her self-confidence and trust. Long hidden secrets need to be told, if trust is to go both ways. Lovely touch with the Villin’s mother and her wish for all of her boys to find their mates and how far she would go to get that done! Lots of fun to read and great romance on the slow burn. I look forward to reading more of this series and catch up with who is next. I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.

[RachelAnyFranny · Rating 3 out of 5]

The overall premise for this one was definitely stronger than book 1, and I liked Zander more as a character because honestly he's just fun 😂 but yet again the writing just isn't great.

I also feel like the author is trying too hard to push the whole being stubborn and refusing to let emotions get in the way of this arrangement thing to the point that it's sucking all the romance out of it and making the potentially 🌶 interactions feel a bit robotic.

The Evan storyline was so weak and it's resolution was laughable. I was also very relieved it didn't follow the exact same order as book 1 which would've been downright ridiculous. That being said I'm going to finish book 3 which apparently comes out today (????) and then pretend none of this ever happened 😂

As always and expected, I loved this book. I was so excited for this book after the first book, it did not disappointed. I loved the humor and the fact that the main characters did not back down from each other. This was an enjoyable read and I will be counting down the days again to read the 3rd book of this series.

2/2.5 Stars

Not bad. I loved Zander even if it felt like we didn't get to know him as well as Miley. I did think they were a good match with their sort of opposites attract vibe. They balanced each other out.

While I actually enjoyed most of this book and even liked Miley more than I expected to, I still found it underwhelming tbh. I was a bit bored, much of it due to the slow plot and how Miley and Zander were stuck at home. It felt a bit tiresome because the authors trend of putting the reader more heavily in the FMC POV instead of it being equal between both MCs. So, it was very easy to become bored by Miley, especially by the 50% point. That's when I understood why another reviewer complained about her. Although we thankfully move on from the drawn out dramatics between Miley and Zander I couldn't help but look at her differently.

I felt like she didn't have any excuse to keep herself so shut off from Zander. Particularly, how she'd expect him to act or respond a certain way and got upset when he didn't but she wasn't willing to act or respond in that way either. Even if it would've fixed their disagreement. Her problem with communication boggled my mind tbh. It was massively frustrating. And while I understood the trauma that her ex Evan caused her and eventually her history about her mom's family, I refuse to accept that as a good enough reason to behave how she did. She acted entitled and selfish and didn't even consider how Zander might feel, nor did she even take a moment to communicate how his decision made her feel and offer up her own feelings about the situation so they could fix it. Nooo, she stewed in her stubbornness and kept making Zander out to be the bad guy. All she thought and felt was me, me, me and didn't consider this was a joint decision. Yes, be mad he seemingly made a decision for you without considering your idea. But damn, just communicate instead of being a stubborn toddler and acting the way she did for those what two weeks? I don't remember.

Atleast Tatum and Brynn put her in her place throughout the book when she tried to make Zander out to be the bastard and instead got frustrated when her friends saw the reason and logic behind whatever she was upset by that Zander said or did. Served her right.

Also, what is with all these what twenty three and twenty four year olds having multiple branches of their coffee/candy shop? Is that even realistic considering that none of them came from money and had to work hard for it all? I mean yeah Tatum clearly is loaded now because of Rafe and now Miley is because of Zander but realistically it seems absurd to me that Miley was discussing how they were about to open TWO more shops. And somehow she managed this without ever visiting these places, renting the buildings or meeting the people to she would hire to work in the new places and honestly it seemed really weird to me. I'm sure a manager was mentioned here and there but they can't handle it all for an owner I'm sure...but whatever, authors gonna author 😆

Ohhh and what was up with there being no more mentions or insistence from Zander for Miley to feed from him after about the 50-60% mark? Like, did she just stop completely or what? They kept sexing it up and I kept skimming their scenes looking for where she began feeding on him or him bringing it up like he did the entire first half of the book but any mention of feeding or blood or blood bags....nada. It just just vanished. Kinda random and inconsistent tbh..

Anywayyyy! It was decent, not memorable by any means but I did like parts of Miley. Just not the whole package. Zander was a sweetie and I'm glad he got his happily ever after even if Miley seemed like a pain in the ass and not the good kind. 😉

🚫 N O T A S 🚫
En el libro 1 (y en este 2) nos cuentan como Miley/h tuvo sexo oral con un vampiro que conoció durante la boda de Rafael/Rafe & Tatum, protagonistas del libro 1. A esa boda, por supuesto, también acude Zander/H, ya que es uno de los hermanos de Rafael. Así que Miley se enreda en un encuentro casual con este vampiro coincidiendo con Zander en la misma celebración. Un Zander al que Miley conoce desde hace un par de semanas/meses, no en la boda, aclaro. Para ser exactos, Miley conoce a Zander en el mismo instante en que el su amiga/Tatum conoce también a Rafael.
El vampiro, por venganza, acaba mordiendo y convirtiendo a Miley en otra chupa-sangre como él. También acaba causando algunos problemas durante el libro porque se obsesiona con ella.
Durante el proceso en el que Miley debe adaptarse a su nueva vida como vampira, tiene un par de "acercamientos" con un par de hombres de los que intenta alimentarse (La tocan, se restregan, etc, pese a ella actuar como si arrastrara un trauma por violación... Curioso, cuando tuvo la poca delicadeza de confesarle a Zander que el sexo oral que tuvo con el vampiro fue el mejor de su vida) Todo esto sucede mientras Zander le va dando su propia sangre por medio de bolsas para que nunca le falte alimento.
Miley es TREMENDAMENTE EGOISTA. Incluso después de saber que Zander era quien le estaba dando su propia sangre (Después de él reconocerla como una posible pareja), ella solamente tomaba todo de él sin dar nada a cambio. Zander se iba debilitando cada vez más, necesitando la conexión con ella tanto como ella necesitaba de su sangre, pero Miley seguía actuando como si el mundo tuviera que girar única y exclusivamente alrededor de ella. De hecho, si no me falla la memoria, todavía tuvo la desfachez de ir a beber (O intentar beber) de otro hombre, sin importarle una mierda lo que pudiera sentir Zander...
Conclusión: Miley es tan petarda como su amiga Brynn/h3. La única medio (¡SOLO-MEDIO!) salvable de las 3 amigas era Tatum/h1.

[Gleeful Goblin Reviews · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gleeful Goblin Review: Book 2 picks up right where Book 1 had left off essentially and we are following our FMC Miley, who is trying pretty unsuccessfully to acclimate to vampire life. The difficulty for her being around blood drinking because of understandable trauma from HOW she was turned in Book 1. Due to that trauma and some hijinx around mate bonds I can't spoil..... our girl is in a rough spot and has been slowly wasting away because she won't drink blood from the vein. This snippet between Miley and Zander is the reaction Zander has when he finds out how poorly Miley is doing and that she's been hiding it from everyone. As someone who's also lived out similar self neglect behaviors from trauma this scene resonates for me because as scary as it is to have your secrets found out...it's almost a relief to not be carrying around this heavy Secret Shame. This snippet and the following few scenes demonstrated an ideal tough love interaction because it didn't have the other party (in this case Zander) shaming the person who needs support.

"He stepped back into the kitchen and set his hands on the counter, leaning toward me. “Here’s what’s going to happen now.” My stomach clenched again, for an entirely different reason. Was that… fear? Dammit, it was. “We’re going down to my truck to get my laptop, and I’m going to spend the next few hours on your couch. I don’t care what you do as long as you don’t leave the apartment, or my sight, for more than the time it takes to piss.” He continued, “While I’m here, I’ll write up a list of options. It will look much different than the one you gave me in your coffee shop, so prepare yourself for that. When I’m satisfied that you’re not going to puke up what you just drank, I’ll leave you with the list, and you can think through your decision. In the morning, I’ll be back to hear what you’ve decided, and to make sure you eat again. We’ll go from there when you’ve made up your mind. Understand?” I bit my lip, hard. I wanted to argue. I really, really wanted to argue.

There's a saying in recovery "You're only as sick as your secrets." and I think this book, starting from that scene, is built on that phrase. Watching trust, safety, and even love be built between these two MCs is truly satisfying and feels very grounded in a way you wouldn't necessarily expect from a monster/paranormal romance which is why I love it. 5/5 Stars.

Lists, Agreements and Love

A great second book in this series. Miley is struggling after being turned into a vampire. She's got the hang of having to drink blood, just can't bring herself to do it from 'source', and she's only drinking enough of the blood bags to keep herself alive, to ensure she's got a full stash. When she finally tries to feed from a human, she finds she can't stomach it and realises that the donor Zander's been using for her supply is a potential mate. But Zander's not got a donor for her, he is the doner. Miley's not sure about her choices but she knows she's off men since Evan, and if Zander is the only one she can feed from then she is probably the only one who can really feed him as well. So Zander gives her a choice (well 4 options) to keep her alive.

But Evan won't leave her alone, stalking her and sending threats as he won't give her up. So Miley starts to do things she had never considered while a human, like kissing the hot demon to mark her territory, enjoying long baths while he feeds off her lust, and considering a mating bond.

Another fantastically funny story by Lola Glass; with drama, brilliant characters with steamy chemistry, building trust before finding love; heaps of humor and spice💖. The banter between Miley and Zander is brilliant and I loved the lists/contracts that they write for each other (eg: Bathtub Sharing Agreement & Freezer Sharing Agreement). Great for a cozy read & I would strongly recommend. I couldn't put this down can't wait for Brynn & Bash's story.

Another lighthearted, fun read. Miley is the most uptight of the three friends and had been unwillingly turned into a vampire in the previous book. Due to her anal nature she has been rationing her blood bags in fear that she might run out of the life sustaining fluid. Unbeknownst to her, Rafe’s brother Zander has been the sole source for her blood. Miley is determined to learn to drink from humans and makes several unsuccessful attempts before managing to drink from a stranger at a bar.

This blood totally disagrees with her and she is unable to keep it down. It’s determined that the blood she has been imbibing is from her unknown mate which is why no one else’s will be compatible to her system. Sebastian, the third brother, witnesses this revelation and confronts Zander, telling him he needs to be truthful with her. Miley agrees to meet her donor at her place of work and is shocked to discover who it is.

Their bond is unbreakable so they must learn to work with it and each other. Miley is fond of contracts and she and Zander negotiate more than a few. The vampire who turned her has decided that he wants her, most likely to aggravate her mate, and proceeds to stalk and eventually terrorize her. The brothers will have none of it.

Why did Zander only realize Miley was his mate after she’d been turned? It didn’t work that way with Tatum and Rafael. That’s about the only issue I felt that wasn’t clarified.

[Dani · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just love this series by Lola Glass! This book was just as great as the first and had me just as thoroughly engrossed.

First of all, can I say just say stubborn much?? The two main characters need to just relax a bit, but it wouldn’t have been as much fun. Miley is a recently turned vampire who will do anything to avoid drinking blood directly “from the source”, even to the point of starving herself to keep her stash as full as possible. Zander is a demon who has been providing his potential mate with blood essentially since her turn without her knowing the donor. That all comes to head when she tries to feed from a random human and learns she can no longer do so. With Miley fighting the bond and Zander trying to get her to accept it and her new life, she has a lot on her mind. Add in the crazed violent vampire who kidnapped, forcibly turned and starved her and is now stalking her, she begins to do things she never thought she would. Like stake her territory and offer him her lust – the way that demons feed. And ensuring a mutual addiction that neither can now ignore.

The hysterical banter between Zander and Miley had me laughing out loud. I wish my options list were as interesting as her’s! And the agreement amendments were hilarious.

All in all, this was great short read that left me smiling. The lust scenes were smoky hot, even without any s3x involves – truly justifies an e-reader purchase *wink, wink.

I can’t wait for the next in the series!.

I loved it!

It was so enticing that I couldn’t put it down, this book grabbed my interest from the very first page. I had to know what happened next. The story is well written with a very good storyline. This is the second standalone book in the Deceit and Devotion series. This is a steamy story featuring a girl (recently turned vampire) named Miley and a demon named Zander. Her ex is stalking her, and she’s addicted to her potential mate. Those sentences might not seem like they fit together, but in her case, they do because six months ago, she was turned into a vampire by said ex, and a few days later, her potential mate, who's a demon, fed her his blood on the sly. Now, she’s literally addicted to him and now her options are to drink from him for the rest of her life, or die. He's not keen on letting her die, so it's looking like a till starvation do you part situation; but her ex isn't going to let her go easily, and her mate will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. Love isn't an option, but she doesn’t know how she’s going to fight it, because she’s actually starting to like the sexy, stubborn demon that she’s going to spend the rest of her life with. I can’t wait to read the next story in the series. So with all that and more this story pulls you in and holds you tight. I highly recommend to everyone.

A few months ago, Miles (Miley) was turned into a vampire by her ex. When Zander agreed to ensure that she was supplied with enough blood to survive her transition, Miles didn't think it meant Zander would be giving her his own blood, which is a bit of a problem because, you know, he's her mate. And she's addicted to him. With no other choice, she decides to move in with Zander, although she would rather starve than feed from him, but he's determined to keep her alive. And with her psycho vampire ex stalking her, Zander will go to any lengths to make sure that she is safe.

I wasn't as big of a fan of this one as I was the first one, but I think it has nothing to do with anything else except for Miles herself because, like, girl MAKE UP YOUR DAMN MIND! Enough is enough! Stop stringing this boy along, like just be with him or don't! And I think the indecision and the back and forth is what really annoyed me about her. I do like Zander, and one of my favorite things that he did was the whole list that he gives her with options on how to handle the situation and all the options basically say the same thing except the last one where he's like don't accept me and I'm just going to kidnap you and you can live here. There's a lot of humor when it comes to Zander, and I appreciate it. But I felt like it was wasted on Miles and her absolute nonsense.

Actual Rating: 3.75 stars

[Wendy K. · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was amazing! I have to say that I am enjoying this trilogy very much and I really like the characters, the romance, the world they live in and the potential for so much more. Knowing there are several other books with different monsters is a great plus. In all honesty though, I want one of these demon guys to completely treat me like a queen! I really like the way they become completely devoted to their mate and find ways to please them.

This book features the couple Miley and Zander and they complement each other so well. Miley is very list oriented and Zander is a funny guy who lives life freely. He definitely knows how to speak to Miley to get her to loosen up and he flirts so sexily with her in a funny and obvious way.

Miley may have been turned into a vampire in the first book and now has to figure out how to live her life as one. She has a few struggles with the male who turned her and feels a little less secure about how to navigate her new life but with Zander’s help and well, his blood, she figures it all out fast.

Together, with a little prodding and flirting on Zander’s part, they make it work and I like it. This couple is a favorite.
I definitely think this is a good trilogy to read and it’s a definite recommendation from me. And I know I forgot to mention this with the first book, but these covers and super cute! I love the designs and colors schemes on all. 🫶

The second installment fell short of the standard set by the first book. My lack of affinity for the main characters, particularly Miley, was a significant drawback. Miley's inconsistent signals and tendency to act petulantly when things didn't align with her desires became a source of frustration. My interest in her story dwindled after the first book, leading me to approach her book with skepticism. Fortunately, its brevity made it a tolerable read.

Anticipation for Brynn and Bash's story, however, remains high. Much like the first book, the male protagonist in their narrative grapples with poor decisions but earnestly strives to rectify them, paving the way for a heartfelt connection with their mate. The promise of action, unexpected plot twists, relationship turmoil, and passionate encounters adds to the anticipation. Yet, Miley's consistently whiny demeanor remains a notable downside, a characteristic that detracts from the overall enjoyment of the story.

Me encantó la historia de Miley y Zander. Su química era perfecta, sus bromas de ida y vuelta y sus contratos eran entretenidos. Sus escenas apasionantes no decepcionaron y sus personajes me hicieron reír más de una vez.

Me sorprendió un poco la trama, no esperaba que los personajes enfrentaran los desafíos que enfrentaron, pero fue bueno. Me encantó el drama no sólo entre la pareja sino con el problema que surgió.

Este libro también cuenta algunas verdades importantes sobre relaciones anteriores y lo perjudiciales que pueden llegar a ser, tanto mental como físicamente, y lo importante que es enfrentar esos miedos.

Me encantó que los personajes de los que nos enamoramos en el primer libro también fueran parte de esta historia. Disfruté las amistades entre Miley, Brynn y Tatum y disfruto la relación que Zander, Rafael y Bash tienen con sus padres.

Es una lectura rápida que disfrutarás muchísimo, tiene demonios, vampiros, compañeros predestinados, especias detalladas, punto de vista dual, proximidad forzada, acecho y drama. Lo recomiendo muchísimo.

Miley is not doing terribly well as a vampire. Turned against her will by her psycho ex and now in hiding she is finding it impossible to drink anything but the bagged blood that she gets delivered. On top of that it turns out her potential mate is the one filling the blood bags so that she is now addicted. Angry, confidence at an all time low and struggling to cope with her new life.

Zander discovered that his brother's mates best friend was his potential mate. He tried to keep his distance but just couldn't help himself from providing the blood she needs.

Forced into a relationship is difficult enough without villainous, violent vampires set on abducting or killing Miley.

This is a fantastic series with the three demon brothers and three best friends. This one is Zander and Miley's journey and as always from this author is excellent. Action, plot twists, relationship angst and steam galore!.

Rescued from Evan, Miles now has to deal with being a vampire and feeding. When she finally takes the plunge and feeds from a human it makes her sick. It appears that the bagged blood she has been using has come from her mate and now any blood will taste awful, other than her mate's. When they discover her mate is Zander it complicates her life and with Evan refusing to give up on her, her life is now in danger and Zander will do whatever it takes to keep her safe and hope that they can seal the mate bond forever. I am loving this series. With lots of twists and turns and full of drama, you can't fail yo be captivated by Miles and Zander as they navigate the mate bond while dealing with the threats that surround them.
