I thought that this book had a really good storyline and excellent characters.

The plot was well developed but I found it to be a little slow in places

It was a book that was easy to read with good detail

It was a slow burn romance

It is 4 stars from me for this one

rating 3.5/5
I don't know what I think of this book yet, I read it not quite knowing it was a fantasy book based on vampires and shifters but the way the book progressed, was amazing. I liked the idea of the whole mystery and romance at the same time. but the entire book had so less moments between Devon and Cressa which could have been so much more good and enthralling to look forward to.

I am very pleased with how the author left bits and pieces of the whole story throughout so you could just have an idea but not quite grasp it.
if you are a fantasy reader you should give this book a try and I think I cant wait for the next book to arrive as fast as it could

I’m not sure where to start with this one. I was absolutely blindsided by it. I was hoping for a good paranormal romance. What I got was so much more. The characters are so intriguing and the world the author has created is just amazing. I was completely drawn into the story and enjoyed every word. The two main characters, Cressa and Devon, are a force to be reckoned with. Cressa is such a badass, but she also has a softer side. There is so much about her that was hinted at, but so much more remains a mystery. And speaking of mysteries, there is Devon. We get bits and pieces of his life and legend and it just made me hungry for more. If I have any complaints it is that this is the first in a series and ends on a cliffhanger, which isn’t stated in the description. I would have liked a heads up on that, especially since we have to wait until Fall for the next installment. But that speaks to how much I loved this book and want to know what happens with the characters, so I’m not going to complain too much. I cannot recommend this book enough. Just be ready for major withdrawal when you finish the last chapter.

I really enjoyed the read. Love the two strong main characters intertwine . Human talented thief Cressa she’s witty, strong willed and unpredictable. and Big bad Vampire Devon who is as mysterious as they come, a gentleman but one not to mess with! Especially when reputation and families involved. This is a simple holding one hostage in cressa case but being held in ones very own mansion. Personal cook, and a large beautiful grounds is that’s really such a bad place to be then her dump of an apartment. I felt like this was a very slow burn of chemistry between the characters that I was eager to learn more on the relationship they are developing. Lucas one of Devon’s right hand men. He is there to watch Cressa and escort her when she is needed. You sense a friendly protectiveness and I would like to see that explore into a friendship . There are many mysterious elements in the book which I hope is explored in the second book. More of the immortal world , shifters and Cressa back ground, her family.

Let me start by saying the cover is a bit deceptive, this book is pg13, and barely that. There is no actually sensuality except in a couple side thoughts, everything is a tease having feel like something juicy is just on the next page. I truly did enjoy the characters the storyline is a constant bait, catch, release…. In honesty this is more like a 4 star for me but then I’m kinda hooked on what’s going to happen next. Definitely intrigued in every page, maybe I was just looking for steamy pages (due to the cover) where there is none. I am hooked enough that I will be on the lookout for book 2.

A skilled thief, Pandora is late on her debt and suddenly gets captured by her werewolf creditor in the middle of a job then sold to Devon, a local vampire lord, for a heist to recover a hidden letter and clear his name. This is a bit of an enemy to lovers trope, but the main character is likeable and it's clear the author had fun writing this and is looking to entertain the reader. Good job. The book switches back and forth between the romantic leads, but overall liked it. Thanks!

I didn’t have such high expectations for this book, in fact I thought it was the classic paranormal romance focused on the love story. (And nothing to say about the genre because I really like it).
But in this case, I found myself catapulted into a world where humans live with vampires and werewolves who grant "favors" in exchange for other "favors".
The main character, Cressa, is an experienced thief who finds herself having to repay a debt. This will lead her into the hands of Devon, a charming and dangerous vampire who hides many secrets.
She will have to carry out a task for him that will set her free, but will she be able to carry it out?
I recommend it if you are looking for an exciting plot, not at all obvious and original with a hint of mystery!

Devo dire che non avevo alte aspettative, nel senso che pensavo fosse il classico paranormal romance incentrato sulla storia d’amore (e niente da dire sul genere perché mi piace molto).
Invece mi sono ritrovata in un mondo in cui gli umani convivono con vampiri e licantropi che concedono dei “favori” in cambio di altri “favori”.
La protagonista, Cressa, è una ladra esperta che si ritrova a dover ripagare un debito. Ciò la condurrà nelle mani di Devon, un vampiro affascinante e pericoloso che nasconde molti segreti. Per lui dovrà svolgere un incarico che la renerà libera, ma sarà in grado di portarlo a termine?
Lo consiglio se cercate una trama appassionante, per niente scontata e originale con un pizzico di mistero!

This was a awesome vampire romance! I really loved cressa our main female lead she was spunky,smart and fast on her feet and a very talented thief who is known to her clients only as Pandora. She's borrowed some money from some very dangerous underworld characters and is now being used as trade to one of the most dangerous vampires as a way of settling a debt. Devon Trelane is a sexy dark and dangerous vampire who can be very charming one minute and in the next a dangerous predator who seems to be just barely in control of himself and it doesn't help that he feels a attraction to cressa . He is so close to getting his revenge for something that was done to him and falling for a human can bring all his careful planning down around him. The chemistry was very good between cressa and Devon and theirs a connection and moments of steamy moments in and out of cressa's dreams. The storyline is original and while some people might say slow I would say steady. Theirs a couple of mysteries from what happened to cause the house wars to who is the mysterious woman who visits the graves at night and who is the person who lives on the third floor? All Devon will say is the third floor is off limits. A lyric was mentioned but only briefly. I'm very intrigued with not only the main characters but a few of the secondary ones like Sergi a vamp and the right hand man to Devon and also Lucas another interesting vampire and Simone a beautiful vampiress who is a just as dangerous as the boys. And their are many dangerous and deadly vamps like Lorenzo who Is the driving force behind devon's need for revenge.Also cressa shady stepfather is another part in this fucked up tale. This is a continuing story with book 2 Visions In Blood coming out in October! Can't wait!! This is my first book by Kim Allred and I really enjoyed it! She's a great storyteller. Until next time Luv's💞💋

This book was fabulous. Each character was fleshed out perfectly, and they both have delicious secrets that have yet to be probed--it was a little annoying at times as it would have been nice to know what they're both hiding, but that's what follow-up books are for. The story was easy to follow, was intriguing and kept the reader wanting to know what was going to happen next. I absolutely will read the next book in the series.
