About The Book
What do you do when love threatens to destroy?
Seven vampires gather under the roof of Vauquelin’s palatial dwelling in the heart of Paris. A meeting to gain an understanding of each other, to grow closer; a meeting of masters and vampire youth, an education perhaps for them all.
But nothing can prepare them for the events that follow. It is not any outside influence that threatens to tear them apart, but a fierce, kindling flame within: a flame that may burn it all down to the ground.
Loves that were once thought infallible and truths once steadfast come crumbling down in this dark, tragic romance where immortal souls question everything they once held as true.
With opulent, descriptive detail and an off-the-charts spice level, these vampires will take you on a journey where high passions and high heat lead to even higher stakes.
Be ready (you’ll never be ready).
A Conclave of Crimson is a sequel to two book series (Gabriel Davenport and Beguiled by Night) from both authors, but can be read as a standalone.
The Review
Clove is a Master vampire living in England with his three charges, Gabriel, Moth and Teal.
Their home is dark and dreary and lacks any kind of amenities. so when Clove and his three charges are invited to Master Vampire Vauquelins (V) luxurious home in Paris. he readily accepts the invitation.
Upon arriving, conflict immediately breaks out between Vauquelin’s lover, Eric, and one of Clove’s charges, Moth. Moth takes an immediate disliking to Eric, which isn’t surprising since he dislikes most people.
Moth’s lover is Gabriel, and between them they take very special care of their brother, Teal. Teal is not like everyone else – he is a vampire who is part witch.
Eric is taken aback by Moth’s behavior toward him, and wonders why V didn’t warn him in advance. It is no secret that the love between Eric and V is very strong, but Eric doesn’t understand why he invited the four of them to their home. Putting all the antagonism aside, Eric tries to befriend the three vampires, especially Moth, only it seems to be an uphill battle.
Eric learns that there are many differences between Clove and his three progenies, that different bloodlines affect so much. They hunt differently, for one. Clove and his group hunt outside, while V and Eric entice their victims into their home where they feed, then kill and put the bodies in a vat of acid.
Things go from bad to worse between Moth and Eric, drawing the ire of the Master vampires but getting Moth under control proves harder than anyone could have imagined. He is determined to protect his brothers, and nothing will stand in his way.
Vauquelin was anxious for Eric to meet other vampires closer to his age, since Eric has only been around V. He wants to broaden Eric’s horizons, but he has no idea what will occur, and how it will change everything.
Surprises, secrets, sex and lots of emotion. This is only the first book so there is much more coming.
Four stars.
