Riley Poe, is a badass tattoo artist, who understands that
life is not easy, she has had a number of pitfalls she had
to climb out of and she has done just that for the sake of
her brother Seth. On top of the normal everyday bad she was
attacked by vampires and has inherited a number of new
abilities. Needing help with dealing with her vampiric
abilities she turned to Eli Dupre, who became her trainer
and is now her DARKLOVE.
Eli has been murdered by a fallen angel, but was it real?
Riley receives word that he is trapped in an alternate
dimension. A place where Riley once was and has no desire
to return to the hell on earth that is there, but she will
do just that. Before she can find Eli she must deal with a
powerful vampire who is killing humans, she must work with
WUP (Worldwide Unexplained Phenomenon) group to take down
this rogue. She finds there is a startling connection
between the slaughter and Eli. Is her lover no longer the
vampire she fell in love with? Has he been changed in that
dimension?
DARKLOVE is author Elle Jasper's continuing Dark Ink
Chronicles. The description and experience of Savannah
has
you almost feeling the salt air and seeing the moss hanging
from the majestic oak trees. It's an area I have a really
soft spot for, but Ms. Jasper takes you into the darker
side, and after reading this book it is a place I never
want to visit.
The cast of characters is alternately
gorgeous or ugly and evil; likeable even loveable and
others you want to be the one to kick their butts and the
love between Eli and Riley is definitely worth reading. I
did find at times that the storyline bogged down with
either not enough information or too much, and Riley's
stubbornness got a bit annoying, but all in all this is an
amazing vampire, action, romance.
Utterly destroyed, or lost forever?
This is the question that plagues Riley Poe. After her
vampire lover, Eli Dupre, was seemingly murdered by a fallen
angel, she receives word that he's actually trapped in an
alternate dimension, where hell on earth is revealed and
dark forces reign. Riley’s been there before, and it nearly
ripped her to pieces.
But her efforts to find Eli are thwarted by a new foe: a
powerful, unstoppable vampire is slaughtering humans. Riley
knows how to handle a vamp, and with the WUP team by her
side, she's determined to take down the rogue.
But what she finds rocks her to the core, as she discovers a
startling connection between the slaughter and Eli, who
might not be missing after all—and who might not be the same
vampire she fell in love with.
