He spent more than a thousand years imprisoned in Hell....Drake is an ancient dragon shifter, one of the most powerful beings in existence, but over a millennium trapped in utter darkness has left him ill-equipped for modern society. If it wasn't for Victoria, the sweet female brave enough to befriend him, he'd be lost. She's smart and gorgeous and everything he never dared dream of during his years of agonizing loneliness. He may not have anything to offer her, but one thing he knows for sure: he'd die to keep her safe. Only to fall into the heaven of her touch¿Victoria is a wolf shifter, healer of the Stavros pack.

Having loved the first book in this series, Darkness Awakened, I couldn’t wait to read Drake and Victoria’s story. Having been forced into hell for a thousand years, Drake has no memory of his past as a boy, his family or who put him in hell in the first place. All he knows is that when he is finally freed, Victoria is a bright light in a dark life. They form a connection immediately and regardless that she is a werewolf and he is a dragon, they know they are mates. However when long lost family appear and foes begin to attack, Drake has a hard time knowing who to trust and how to live up to expectations he just doesn’t understand.

This was so heart wrenching. I loved Drake and felt for him and what he had been through. Meeting his family was so much fun and emotion was drilled into every single word when he was with his brother and sister. I loved seeing this new world and it was so refreshing to have Drake and Victoria together right from the start. There were no silly arguments, no resisting their feelings and no misunderstandings. They loved each other and all they had to worry about was making sure they had a future together. This one had it all; action, romance, mystery, suspense and enough emotion to make your heart catch many times. A must read for paranormal romance fans! ( )

I loved the Taste of Darkness by Katie Reus. This is the 2nd book in the Darkness series but can be read as a stand alone story and be thoroughly enjoyed as I found out as I have not yet read book 1.
The main character Drake, is a dragon shifter. He's not long escaped imprisonment from hell and is trying to settle to a life of freedom and to a life of many changes with the help of a wolf shifter named Victoria. He is a wonderful character, he's very intense and tough but very protective and gentle to Victoria as he knows she is to be his mate. But Drake believes he has to better himself before he can claim her.
Victoria want's Drake, she knows he's nervous, this world is all new for him, and she doesn't want to scare him away.
The story was a real page turner, the characters are very likeable, with exciting action, a little intrigue and a sweet romance. A very entertaining read, I look forward to reading more books from the Darkness series. ( )
