Nightmaster by Susan Krinard

Rumors of war are rumbling in the vampire city of Erebus. Undercover agent Trinity Ward must pose as a blood slave to unearth the truth and keep the peace between vampires and humans. Acting now as a serf to Ares--a powerful Bloodmaster--Trinity must give herself to him.. . . Yet one look into his striking eyes turns submission into burning desire. The fiery beauty has the same effect on Ares, but as their passion grows so do the risks. Now Trinity's betrayal could cost her the mission—and the man she loves.

I was a bit disappointed by this book.

I liked the setting and the care with which the author has created her vampires world and the laws governing their society, really intricate and important for all the Bloodmasters of Erebus.

Ares is no doubt fascinating as a character, but the way Trinity manages to do everything according to her plans with him was a bit disturbing for me. She comes as a slave and immediately became the favorite, and manages to affect Ares.

This is why I didn't feel all this whole great sympathy for her, even if she voluntarily offered to help Ares out of trouble, beccasse of her..

Perhaps giving too much space to explanations on laws to which they are subjected the Bloodmaster broke the rhythm of the book for me, making me less excited in going forward with the story.

Thanks to Netgalley and Harlequin for the book.

Sono rimasta un po' delusa da questo libro.

Mi è piaciuta molto l'ambientazione e la cura con la quale l'autrice ha creato i suoi vampiri e la leggi che regolano la loro società, veramente intricate e importanti per tutti i Bloodmaster di Erebus.

Ares è senza dubbio affascinante come personaggio, ma il modo in cui Trinity riesce a fare tutto secondo i suoi piani con lui è un po' disturbante per me. Arriva come schiava e diventa subito la favorita, e riesce a influenzare Ares.

Motivo per il quale non ho provato tutta questa gran simpatia per lei,anche se poi volontariamente si offre per aiutare Ares a uscire da guai in cui in primo luogo lo ha messo lei.

Forse il dare troppo spazio alle spiegazioni sulle leggi a cui sono sottoposti i Bloodmaster ha spezzato un po' il ritmo del libro, rendendomi meno entusiasta nell'andare avanti con la storia.

Ringrazio Netgalley e la Harlequin per il libro.
