REVIEW
I thoroughly enjoyed this 4 in 1 set by Travis Luedke. The unique writing style peaked my interest while I fell for the characters more and more as I devoured New York, Las Vegas, Paris and Bloodslave. While I loved Michelle and Aaron in these, Hope captured my heart in the final installment. Her connection and Travis's world blew me away. Left me wide open and wanting more.
In New York, we start with Aaron and while his life is an average life of a lonely young man in the beginning, he soon finds his world turned upside down after he makes the decision to rescue a damsel in distress. Michelle swore off ever putting another what she had survived years past when Aaron walks into her life. On the brink of death, Aaron is saved and Michelle his angel.
Whether or not Aaron wanted the life of a creature of the dark, the bond he shares with Michelle is overwhelming to say the least. She has a power over him that he cannot deny or fight. Her only understanding of being a 'Master' was inhumane torture but when feelings arise between her and Aaron there's little they can deny from each other through their psychic bond.
In Las Vegas, both Michelle and Aaron are on the run, settling down only to lay low. Their past left in New York as well as their mistakes made. When Anastasia walks into their lives Aaron claims her as his. Sharing the life of the night Ana cannot deny herself the life she's known she's always meant to have. The life of a 'Bloodslave' is exciting, intoxicating and sensual in multiple ways. With a few hills to hurdle Michelle and Aaron have to climb to mutually agree on a few concerns but in the end, they know what will happen and who will survive.
In Paris, Aaron's loss has him grieving and fighting his demons daily. Michelle wants nothing more than to rebuild what they lost in hopes of finding the Aaron she once knew. With the beast lurking within, the traps around every corner, it gets harder and harder to control his reactions but will Michelle be able to reach Aaron before it's too late?
In Bloodslave, we get a glimpse into the other side, a new world Travis has built for us to explore. His unique writing style and amazing written characters come to life and there's no turning back. Hope's life laid out on the line, the connection is great. The story remarkable, the sensual scenes hot and dirty, the life altering situations and circumstances keep the pages turning. When there's nothing left will there be anything to bring Hope back with the lifeline she has to hold on to?
Travis Luedke is a husband, father, and author of Urban Fantasy Thriller, Paranormal Romance, Contemporary Fantasy, Young Adult Fiction, and Sci-fi. He is currently catching a 3rd degree sunburn in San Antonio, Texas, and loving every minute of it.
As the author of the Nightlife Series novels, Travis lives very vicariously through his writings. He invites you to enjoy his macabre flights of fancy, but be warned: The Nightlife Series is violent, sexy, and occasionally violently sexy.
