Veils and Vampires — Christina Bauer

***HIGHLANDER meets TWILIGHT with a dash of FIFTY SHADES OF GREY in this vampire romantasy***CAELIN MACGREGOR IS AN ANCIENT KING WITH A NEW LOVEAges ago, I ruled a clan of vampire raiders. We were allies to the Vikings and enemies of the Rus. That life ended when the bloodkin plague wiped out all our women, including my beloved vampire bride, Elisava. A thousand years have passed. My heart remains empty. Then I see a human woman named Lexa. For the first time in ages, I feel true desire, respect and love. Could Lexa actually be a lost bloodkin lady ... or is she a horrible trick from Pyri, the ancient fire goddess of the Rus raiders?LEXA UZNETSOV HAS A PLANTo save my sister, Sash, I took on my father's debt to Konstantin the Rus, leader of the New York Bratva. As a result, my life became a never-ending (and incredibly illegal) stakeout for the mob. After years of scheming, I've finally come up with a solid escape plan: find all three pieces of the infamous Veil Pendant. Once I reassemble this magical item, I'll have the power to cure my sister ... as well as the ability to say buh-bye to Konstantin. Sure, legends warn that reforming the Veil Pendant may bring about some nastiness called Pyri's doomsday. Yet if it saves Sash, I'm willing to risk anything.Veils and Vampires is amazing! It has action and adventure and a little spicy. Enough that it makes you drool and want more. Honestly a totally different take on modern day vampire soulmates. I devoured this book in one sitting. - TERESA, GOODREADSVAMPIRES OF THE DAEMONVERSE1. Violins and Vampires2. Veils and Vampires3. Violets and Vampires
