This series is probably one of the best vampire stories I have ever read. Lynsay Sands is a real dynamite author and her stories intertwine is really great ways. As a matter of fact because of the way she wrote these stories its hard to take them apart from one another hence the series review rather than singular book review.
Each of her stories in essence is very similar in that they are all romances and thus all have happy endings. The stories also all have their action parts, which is great! The action parts aren't just a background piece but rather an essential part of the character's life. I will also note that unlike many romances Lynsay Sands definitely makes sure to keep the romance and the action at even as opposed to too much of one or the other. Each and every story had its ups and downs and some were very much like a roller coaster because you thought it was done and then you are on to another crest in the ride.
Her hotter scenes were amazing. They built up through out the book it wasn't just "Bamph! Here's a sex scene." It was also nice that she didn't automatically jump to sex at every turn it was more of a seduction. The language used wasn't crude which was really a great thing. As a matter of fact her romance section of each book is so well written, you will definitely need a cold shower after it.
Lynsay Sands has done an amazing job in the making of her vampires (or as they prefer it immortals). A basic synopsis is the original immortals are actually from Atlantis. As we all know Atlantis is theorized to be a very advanced society that fell due to natural disaster. Before Atlantis fell, their scientists made these special nanos that once injected would repair all internal damage without the need for invasive surgery. Once the nanos did their job they would disintegrate and be flushed from the body but what the scientists didn't take into account was the fact that the body is under constant attack by the environment. This made the nanos continue to work on and on to keep repairing the damage brought on from life. The nanos fuel to do this is human blood. Now the nanos needed more blood to keep up the repairs, so much more that the human body couldn't keep up and would need regular blood transfusions. When Atlantis fell blood transfusions didn't exist so the nanos evolved the body to be able to get the blood they needed, hence the teeth, senses, strength, speed, and mind reading abilities. (They avoided sunlight because sunlight creates damage and thus the nanos would need more blood.) As you can see her vampires are quite well done and put an amazing new spin a vampire mythology.
One thing that you must do when reading this series is you MUST read it in order. If you read it out-of-order you will have extra knowledge that destroys some of the illusion in the story. As you can see I really enjoy this series and I am sure you would too. If you love vampire stories, or romance this is a must read! If you love action stories with romance thrown in for good measure this is a great read! Overall, I give this story a high four. Mostly because if you read through them really fast, one after the other they can get a little much so I suggest sometime in between them. You will definitely appreciate them much better with a little time in between the stories.
