Dark Paranormal Romance
Date Published: 8/19/2015
Blaze Knight has been through hell and back, but the nightmares aren't over yet.
Five years after Blaze was maimed by Cyrus Chimola, a powerful vampire with a penchant for torture, he’s still trying to pick up the pieces of his shattered life. As a genetically engineered mercenary with the ability to bend fire to his will and to see in infrared, Blaze’s mission is to protect what’s left of humanity. When Chimola and his crew return to the Bronx gunning for Blaze’s blood, Blaze is forced to face the demons of his past. Hell-bent on revenge, he seeks the help of Valerie Medeiros, an NYPD detective who manages to steal his heart and save his life in more ways than one.
Motivated by her sister’s gruesome death, Valerie has made it her life’s goal to bury every vampire in the ground where they belong. When she brings in Blaze Knight for suspected murder, she discovers he’s not only innocent, he isn't a man at all—he's a half-vampire hybrid working with a band of brothers for the U.S. military. Valerie has a hard time trusting anything with fangs, yet she quickly falls headlong into Blaze’s life, a life full of darkness and horror she can’t even begin to fathom. The bodies are stacking up, but Valerie can’t seem to let go of this hybrid, a beautiful monster filled with pain, rage, and passion unlike anything she's ever known.
In a world where the line between good and evil is blurred, Blaze and Valerie will find danger at every turn, risking everything they’ve come to know and love, including one another.

~*~ Obsessed by Books copy given in exchange for an honest review ~*~
"Home. Blaze rested his head against his brother's back as tears spilled from his sealed eyelids, unchecked. Free.
He was finally free."
Unfortunately for Blaze he will never be free after his seven months of torture, Chimola has made a discovery that makes Blaze a hunted man. A hybrid with pyrotechnic abilities Blaze is wanted by one of the most ruthless Vampires. Declaring war not only in humanity but on each other, the hybrids and vampires engage in a vicious battle to become supreme. Blaze is set up in a murder and this leads Valerie a special oops policewoman straight into the path of danger.
With good reason not to trust Vampires or Hybrids Valerie can't fight her attraction to Blaze. Pursuing the real threat they team up grudgingly at first but soon become a team. Pitting themselves against the vampires this is a fast paced gritty story that leaves you breathless. The very first chapter beckons you in and keeps you wanting to know more. There are graphic scenes of torture and this story is not for the weak of heart. Interwoven in between the harsher elements is of course the budding love story of two haunted broken souls.
A promising first in a series that is very well written with good character development and a plot line that keeps the pages turning.
A four star bloody read.
