Publisher Description
"Wicked fun not to be missed!" —USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Zanetti
Into The Dark
Rowan Harper's world has been wrenched apart. The man she thought she loved—the man she does love—is a vampire, and not the kind that glitters.
Running away isn't an option. Gabriel isn't just her lover. She's bound to him in ways she can't comprehend, ways that put both of them in desperate danger even as Rowan's desire for him blazes anew.
The rules of her life before are gone. But she has a power of her own, a power she is remembering in fits and starts even as time races against her. With her life and Gabriel's very soul on the line, Rowan has to choose who to believe—and who to trust. . .
"Rowan's wry commentary about her predicament is priceless, and this romance sizzles. The revelations about the complex nature of Gabriel's existence and his connection to Rowan are the backdrop in which their wild passion and love run rampant. By striking a "deal with the devil," Rowan gains much but also loses her former humanity. This series is highly recommended." — Library Journal

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Smith's underwhelming second paranormal picks up where A Vampire's Promise left off: with Rowan Harper reeling from the discovery that her new boyfriend, Gabriel, is a vampire, and that she's mysteriously bound to him in ways she doesn't understand. As she comes to terms with Gabriel's nature, she must also fend off the attacks of another vampire who wants Gabriel for her own. Finally, she has to unlock memories that explain what it means to be his Promise. While the story starts off with great potential, with Rowan in realistic denial over the existence of vampires, it soon devolves into a convoluted mess involving fallen angels, lost souls, and deals with demons. Rowan is given to extensive internal monologues, Gabriel doesn't appear until 80 pages in, and while the sex is hot, the chemistry is lacking. The potential is there, but Smith has yet to find her true voice.
Customer Reviews
OK, but got silly.
I really enjoyed the first book in this series. This one started out fairly well, but quickly became complicated and silly. I know vampire books are inherently silly, but adding angels and demons didn’t help!
