Surrender The Dark
by
Tibby Armstrong
As a provocative
series of paranormal temptation begins, a vampire king seduces the
supernaturally gifted man hunting him. But when the stakes are literally life
or death, their struggle for control is no game.
Benjamin Fuller is a hunter, born and bred. Blinded as a child by the vampire who slaughtered his family, he’s blessed with a second sight that allows him to catch and kill his quarry. What his gift can’t help him see coming is his fierce, almost carnal attraction to the mystery man who claims to be a fellow hunter and whose touch triggers both lust and revulsion. When he gains the upper hand, Benjamin vows to bring his enemy to his knees.
After many years spent in exile, the only one who can help restore Tzadkiel Dragoumanos to his rightful place as War King is a blind hunter with golden curls, a lithe dancer’s physique, and distinctive facial scars—scars Tzadkiel gave him two decades ago. The mere scent of Benjamin Fuller provokes an unwelcome rush of insatiable desire. Yet to win an all-out supernatural war, Tzadkiel must resist the ravenous hunger to possess his prey—for now.

Benjamin
jerked back at the contact with Tzadkiel’s mouth and attempted to shove the
vampire away. Tzadkiel, however, was quicker. Hand gripping Benjamin’s nape in
a way that spoke of centuries—perhaps millennia—of practice, Tzadkiel held him
immobile. The royal purple aura flashed and brightened with something
Benjamin’s hunter-senses recognized as desire. Flesh, warm and supple, not
marble hard and cold, met Benjamin’s lips.
The vampire kisses like a human.
Benjamin’s
first thought struck him as absurd, and then he couldn’t think at all. Lips
that had begged him for water, for silence, for life, now demanded passion.
Sparks of white and deep mauve obscured the subterranean world around him,
focusing his attention on the flash-bang of his arousal. As before, contact
with the vampire blew him apart from the inside. Adrenaline, fear, animal
instinct, all combined to light his nerves with an awareness he’d only
experienced when fighting the heinous creatures. In short, he felt alive.
Lungs
burning, Benjamin gasped when Tzadkiel let him up for air, then pulled his
nemesis in for more. Drunk with lust, he barely registered voices in the
tunnel, or the polite cough and tap on his shoulder. Taste. He needed to taste.
Plunging his tongue into a rough and tumble battle with Tzadkiel’s, he tasted
his own blood on the vampire’s tongue. Tzadkiel growled and clamped his hand
more insistently on Benjamin’s nape, forcing him to open his mouth until every
spare inch of his world was filled with a different kind of mayhem. Tinged with
smoke and salt and a warm earthy essence, Tzadkiel tasted of nightmares laced
with forbidden desire. A one-hit addict, Benjamin couldn’t get enough of the
resulting rush.
The
cough and tap came again, more insistent this time. Benjamin shrugged it off,
refusing to rouse from this wonderful dream, and attempted to fall back to
sleep—to fall back into to Tzadkiel’s embrace.
Review:
This was a fascinating and
captivating book that had me up reading until the early morning hours. This paranormal story features Benjamin, a
hunter born and bred, and Tzadkiel, a vampire and War King. Benjamin was blinded as a child but refused
to let that stop him from destroying the vampires who were responsible for his
families deaths. Tzadkiel was captured
and tortured for days by Benjamin’s family before escaping and taking his
revenge.
This book
is the first in the Dark series and does spend most of the pages world building
yet I never lost interest. The storyline
is very well-written as well as captivating though I would say this book is
less romance and more paranormal/urban fantasy.
Tzadkiel and Benjamin are enemies, both out to destroy the other and
will let nothing stand in their way, not even a slowly developing love. I felt for both men and never believed that
either was “evil”.
I highly
recommend this book but will remind you that this is an M/M genre and there is
sexual content. 4.5 stars and looking
forward to reading more by this fabulous author! ~Booklover Sue
