I am really enjoying this series so far. This is book #2 and we not only get Rachel's POV in this story; but also Cole's. Rachel is still being held captive by the Rogue vampire, Zach who is after her Druid blood just like all of the other vampires. Cole is on the journey trying to find Rachel, because in his opinion, Rachel is his; and he wants no one else to have her. This installment introduces us to a new Druid named: Holly. She is an innocent, as well as only nineteen years old. There are some facts that are revealed about her, and Zach gets a huge surprise when he comes face to face with Holly! Even though this is a short story, there is a lot going on from beginning to end. The author does a great job of having plenty of reveals without it being an information dump for the reader. The fight scenes are very graphic and full of action, I was cringing at some of the gross descriptions; but the scenes were extremely well written.Once again, Marata Eros delivers an action packed story full of excitement and surprises. I am fully engaged in this wonderful series and I can't wait to see what happens next in this interesting world! **Note from the author: a qualifier has been in place from the beginning so readers may make an educated choice prior to the download of this erotic story. After receiving thirteen, one-star reviews in which the reader chose a story that did not suit their taste, I elected to bold the key wording in my initial warning. Further: TDB novella series is an erotic-driven romance. This means that the sexual context of the story is primary and the romance is secondary. In subsequent installments, romance is flavored a little more strongly but does not overtake the erotic element. REAPERS is the first installment and is not a "stand-alone" as such.Book Two down. I'm still not really involved with most of the characters with the exception of Zach. I'm not sure what it is about him that draws me a bit more to him. The two female MCs, not so much. Once again, it was okay. Not something I would pick up to read again and not something that hits as a standard in my realm of what I believe to be dark erotic fiction. Yes, rape and kidnapping but there's a bit of a romance in this series .
