5.0 out of 5 stars Revenge, Love and Friendship October 5, 2012

By Coffee Ramblings TOP 1000 REVIEWER

Format:Kindle Edition

Desires Reveals revolves around a 2,600 year-old vampire named Bektamun who happens to save a family whom are accused of being Huguenots in the St. Bartholomew's Massacre of 1572.

The daughter of the family, Nicole, bonds with the vampire despite her young age (She is around four or five.) and the fact that her parents and siblings don't care for it. Over the years her relationship with the vampire becomes deeper, but there is a rule that vampires can never have a relationship with a human. There are dark forces that will stop at nothing to destroy their bond.

Desire Revealed is not your typical vampire tale, which usually has a male vampire falling in love with a teenage girl. Here we have an older (much older) female vampire who is searching for something more meaningful and she finds exactly that in her young companion Nicole. The narration throughout the book flows well. The author has created characters that are easily likeable despite their flaws. Dark Revealed is about revenge, love, and friendship. It is a fast read at only 226 pages and I do wish that it was slightly longer. Overall, I enjoyed reading the book and I recommend it to other Vampire readers/fans.

Note - I received a complementary review copy courtesy of the author.

4.0 out of 5 stars A vampire book that even us non-vampire fans can appreciate July 21, 2012

By Sherrie Cronin

Format:Kindle Edition

This book's best qualities surprised me. For one, it does an excellent job of touching on the sheer insanity of religious intolerance. Secondly, the tender and evolving love story between a strong female vampire and a young human girl is told in such a way as to appeal to any human with a heart, and to be a joyful affirmation for young women with similar desires. The title implies more sex than there is, but be assured that there is some lust along with the love, albeit told in a classy manner.
I did feel that the book should have been longer. I like the fast pace, but I would have enjoyed more detail about so many things from the fate of the Huguenots to intricacies about the laws of this vampire world. Not much of a vampire fan myself, I found this particular tale to have a few fanged twists that piqued even my interest (although I can't reveal more without spoilers).
Finally, as a woman who has spent a lifetime trying to embrace my own strengths in spite of stereotypes, I found the highly capable Bektamun an absolute delight. I'll be looking for more of her adventures.

This is a great book, it grabbed and held my attention from page one. I loved the Story of Bek and how she rescued Nicole and her family. This is a romance,and suspenseful book. If you love paranormal vampire books, then this book is for you! I sure hope the author writes a part two to this book. I can't wait to see how they get revenge on Oskar.
