“The story was good in itself and I like good smut just as much as the next gal, but this was almost too much for me. The story got lost in the pages and pages of sex. Most times I don't mind, but it did seem to drag on too much.”

“Jan 30: I started this book last night and boy was it a real hooker! This story is proving to be one of the most erotic novels I've read so far. Not that I'm complaining! So far I know that it's about a newly transformed woman vampire, Natalie, who is bloodlusting and lusting for a cop, Rene, who saved her from being pecked to death by pigeons. She's managed to find herself locked away in a room with Rene.... chained naked to a bed. And of course she helps herself to a little lovin'. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the story plays out. It seems like there's still something I'm missing about Natalie. Guess I'm wondering if all newly changed female vampires react the same way or is she different show how? Guess I'll find out! UPDATE: So, I finished this late last night. And boy, did I mention that this book was the most erotic I've ever read? I'm a sucker (puny!) for romantic vampire novels but this went beyond my comfort zone a little. Besides the romping every few minutes towards the end it spawned into a threesome between the 3 main characters. Holy smokes! Any how, the story line was great. It was complex and complicated yet intriguing. Natalie ended up being a "Born", a child born from a born mother and human father. Borns are only female and go into their "moon phase" upon which they become sexually charged and will have sex with anything near them, practically. She ends up falling in love with Rene, and he returns the emotion. Only they both suffer from the lusting curse she has. That's why they end up with the threesome at the end. To save Natalie from those that hunt Borns they inlist the help of a mage to open a portal to a different time, I assumed, and Rene goes with Natalie to love her and raise their daughter. It was a different book than I'm used to reading just it was enjoyable, maybe just a little too much though.”

It doesn’t matter if Natalie Lambert is a suspect or a victim, good cops do not get involved with either. At least, that is what Rene Broussard keeps trying to tell himself when he is tasked with protecting her overnight – at his own home. In his own bed, even. But as the beautiful virgin vampire comes into heat for the first time, she proves as irresistible as she is determined when she sets her mind on seducing Rene!
Natalie can’t explain the desire she feels for Rene – something she has never felt before. Even harder for her to understand is this strange urge she has to bite him…
When an unknown threat terrorizes Natalie, murdering those she loves most, she is swept up in the arms of a new family – one she never knew existed – who will stop at nothing to protect her.
Delilah Devlin is a relatively new author for me, and I am enjoying what I have read from her so far immensely! Her new vampire story, Into the Darkness, is no exception. This is actually the first full-length novel I’ve read by this author, and she proves herself as capable in this format as she is with a short story.
Be warned, Devlin’s vampire society lives by a set of mores that are atypical to human society, and readers must learn to adjust along with Rene, who is also human. As Rene grows to accept the strange new world he is thrust into, we are provided the opportunity to gain the same acceptance through his eyes, easing both him and the reader into this new world.
Natalie is a wonderful leading lady to Rene’s hero, and is simultaneously sweet and innocent, yet bold and sensual, providing Rene no quarter as her newfound sexuality asserts itself.
The more sensitive readers should be aware that this book contains elements that may be too titillating for delicate sensibilities, including a ménage scene and a female/female scene. While I usually do not choose books with female/female content, the scene fit with the peculiarities of the vampire culture in Devlin’s story, and I didn’t find it offensive or out of place.
While Rene’s & Natalie’s story is complete in this book, the author creates opportunity for possible sequels with some very interesting supporting characters. I know I will definitely be keeping an eye out for a sequel!

“Well, what can I say about this book of Delilah Devlin. She defiantly knows how to write and to use a lot of erotica scenes. The story line is hot and steamy from the beginning till the end.

Rene is a hard working police detective and happy with his life. But when he meets Natalie through very strange circumstance his life is turning up and down. And when Natalie is in danger he is determined to succeed to protect her from what ever is haunting her.
Natalie is a strong young woman and is just learning what it means to be a vampire. And the sexual attraction between Rene and her is not helping her at all.
Although the story was intriguing, I didn’t felt the satisfaction of completing when I closed the book. For me there was too much left open. In the book you meet Simon and he means a great deal to Natalie and helps her in anyway he can. But who is he….and above all…what is he ? He is not a vampire like Natalie, but he has a lot of power.
The sexual interaction between Rene and Natalie is hot and steamy, but I miss the romance between them. The relationship is based on Natalie’s sexual passion of becoming a vampire and Rene is drawn to her….I just missed the falling in love part.
Well I’m curious enough to read the next book in the series Seduced by Darkness, about Chessa (Rene’s police partner) and vampire Nicolas.
