Deep, Book 3
When Adin Tredeger discovers his lover Donte’s role in turning him into a vampire, he’s outraged. The opportunity to attend Ned Harwiche’s funeral is perfect for putting some distance between them, but as a newly turned vampire, he mustn’t go alone.
Cristobel Santos—one of Donte’s lifelong enemies—and an attractive Irish vampire named Sean offer to chaperone his trip. They are as determined to help him as he is to reject their aid.
While Adin fights his new reality he’s kidnapped by rogue hunters and used as a lab rat in some skin-searing experiments. Adin’s distress electrifies his connection to Donte, but rescue is only the beginning…
Product Warnings
Hot vampires, spoiled teens, big cat shifters, and two men trying to figure out how to squeeze several lifetimes’ worth of love into every moment of their big, fat eternity. Ouch…
REVIEW:
Oh yes, so happy to see more of Donte and Adin! This was a bonus for me, I didn’t know we’d get another book in this fantastic series.
So this series follow Donte Fedelta and his lover Adin Tredeger. Donte is an old vampire of Italian decent, at the beginning of the first book in this series he’s lonely, and a bit reclusive, but strong and stubborn. He meets Adin as they are fighting over an old manuscript written by Donte years and years before. Adin is a purveyor of manuscripts of this sort, and Donte would prefer it not get out in to the world. There is lots of awesome tension, arguing and drama between the two stubborn men. Donte is so stuffy and old, Adin is so young and oddly flaky. It was a fantastic book! Then we got a second book following the two of them through even more drama, quite often prompted by Adin’s bad decisions.
In this third book, we get even more drama! Also caused by Adin being an idiot. How such a smart man can be such a twit is beyond my comprehension. Now I need to give a spoiler here, I can’t talk about this book without mentioning something from the last book. Adin was injured and Donte turned him against his will. Adin was quite clear about not ever wanting to be turned, and Donte did it anyway. Adin is pissed. He is still pissed. And resentful. He doesn’t want to be a monster, and refuses to feed from humans. He’s stubborn and borderline obnoxious. The opportunity for a break between the two is presented, and both agree it would be for the best. Adin heads off to LA with Santos their frienemy, and Sean a decent vampire.
Of course it all goes to shit, because Adin is an idiot. Adin’s former arch-rival dies and Adin goes to the funeral, with Santos and Sean, only to be accosted by the man’s odd offspring. Adin refuses to follow vampire protocol and has no backup other than Santos, Sean, and Tuan, all of which aren’t around when needed, because Adin goes off the rails and is…. you guessed it… AN IDIOT!!! He gets kidnapped, bad stuff happens, there is a death, a rescue, some sex, a revelation about some new paranormal critters we haven’t seen before, some more death, and a big old surprise at the end I didn’t see coming!
I loved it, I love Donte and I love that Adin bugs the shit out of me. I love the banter between the two of them, the sex is off the charts hot, and the other characters are wonderful. I’m a big fan of vampire books and haven’t really read many lately. I had no idea this new one was coming out and it made me oh so happy to see it and read it. I’m also a big fan of ZA Maxfield, she’s a fantastic writer and has given us a perfect addition to the paranormal genre. I love how her paranormal characters fit in to our every day world, but have their own history and rules. Sometimes it works for them, sometimes not so much. I love the drama and angst, and the creative plot and characters. But at heart what I love about this series is Donte and Adin. Donte, the apex of the food chain, and his smart ass lover…. so good!
If you are a fan of paranormal romance books this series should be at the top of your to be read list. If you have read the others in this series, this one also needs to be at the top of your to be read list! This is the third book in a series and really isn’t a standalone story. If you are curious, go get the first one and give it a try. It’s so worth it!
