Caressed by the Edge of Darkness
(Rulers of Darkness #5)
4.5 stars of 5
Caressed by the edge of darkness is the fifth book in the Rulers of
Darkness series. It's my first book by this author and can easily be
read as a standalone.
Gabriel wants revenge on his enemies. They took his innocence and darkened his soul. He was beaten, starved and bought to the edge of death. He isn't a good man, in fact, he is a strong vampire and he knows revenge will be sweet. In his quest to bring down his enemies he comes across a human girl who plagues his dreams. For the first time, he finds himself wanting to help someone else.
Jordon is in trouble and that's putting it mildly. She's been drugged and tossed around like dirt. Luckily her innocence has kept her from the fate of her fellow captives. She has no hope of escape and her future is looking worse than her past. She is to be auctioned off to the highest bidder and used for god knows what. She's tried her best to escape, but she needs an angel. Gabriel is set to be her knight in shining armour, but he is no angel. He's king of a vampire clan and lost his heart long ago. He wants to help the girl and stop her fate being similar to his own. One look at Jordan and he's in big trouble. Can he let her go and give her a second chance at life? Maybe it isn't as simple as that. Maybe they can save each other.
Caressed by the edge of darkness is a will they/won't they sexual frustration book with some hot sexy scenes. It has an interesting backstory which will continue in other books from others points of view (I'm guessing). I really enjoyed this book and would happily read others in the series. What makes a king? This book may be fiction, but it's no fairytale. The story will continue, however, this chapter is closed and I was satisfied with the ending.
4.5 stars out of 5. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Caressed by the Edge of Darkness
Hardened
by centuries of torture, former blood slave, Gabriel Erhard, is driven
by an insatiable need to destroy his enemies. Violence darkens his
battered soul, leaving no place for mercy in his world. Gabriel’s only
desire is vengeance—until he finds her.
Seized
by vampires, bound as a slave, and placed on the auction block, Jordan
Culver is instantly entranced by the dangerous male who claims her.
Jordan’s new captor vows to set her free, but his haunted gaze burns
with savage desire and his wicked kiss makes her crave his touch
and...complete surrender.
While
Gabriel battles his enemies, he will break every sacred law to achieve
his ultimate goal—uniting the Outcast Society and creating a new vampire
Clan. But the distracting human with mesmerizing violet eyes
jeopardizes his plans. With very soft whisper she evokes his tormented
memories, testing his sanity and challenging his every boundary. Can
Jordan help him overcome the miseries of his past and find a future with
her?
