“A villain is quite capable of love. It’s only the matter of what he’s willing to sacrifice for that love which separates him from a good man.”
Nightshade was a magnificent book!!! Keri Lake is a phenomenal storyteller and this book is her masterpiece! I love to read a book that you can tell that the writer has put their heart and soul into the book by how its written. Do yourself a favor and check out this new book, its not only one of the best gothic romances I've read in years but its my pick for book of the year! And I've read many great books this year. I loved the gothic atmospheric feeling to this book and the characters were fucking fabulous!! Jericho is are lead male. Most see him as the villain and fear him but he is charismatic and broody with a sexy sensuality that's off the charts and i loved his raw and often times possessive nature! Theirs nothing soft about this half angel/ half demon but the love and passion he feels for our heroine Farryn is burn the world down kind of eternal love and to read a love story like theirs that can reach across centuries is totally breath taking! What they both went through was horrific and it still amazes me how the ones that are supposed to be the god fearing and good ones are sometimes the worst monsters! I don't want to give much away about this book but I will tell you that theirs passion,love,betrayal and steamy😅 sex! What Jericho can do with those beautiful black wings of his was AMAZING! Damn you Keri Lake for ruining me for mortal men! I need me a Jericho Van Croix ASAP!!! I also want to mention Remy a fallen angel and ally to Jericho. I loved this fallen angel so much with his devil may care attitude and charm and his death made me cry like a baby! I couldn't read this book fast enough and it totally captived me! Don't let the fact that it is over 600 pages intimidate you! Its that fucking fabulous!! Thank you Keri Lake for writing another magnificent book and characters that will stay with me for a very long time!! I love gothic romance and I can wait for more stories by this truly amazing writer. Until next time Luv's💗💋

"Deft fingers caress my body, as if he’s done it a million times before. Not a word spoken between us. A tickle of my arms draws my attention to where soft black wings envelope me like a cocoon, closing out the light. My dark angel. 😉"

"“I will have you one day, Lustina,” he said against her lips, and he kissed her again. Trembling hands cradled her head as if she were fragile as glass. With the growing intensity of his kiss, he dug his fingers into her hair. “Mark my words. I will take you with such avarice that there will be nothing left for you to give. At which point , I will take you again.” Teeth grinding, he exhaled a sharp breath. “And again"

"The silvery, metallic-looking tattoos glinted in the light, anchoring my eyeballs to his toned arms and torso. Inhumanly perfect. As he strode closer, the water receded down his body, until he stood along the pool’s edge, at what must’ve been its most shallow depths, and there was no waistband indicating he wore swim trunks. Only an impressive V that disappeared into the surface of the water."

"A muscle in his pectoral twitched, and when I looked up, he was smiling down at me. Cheeks burning, I lowered my gaze again. “You don’t like attention, do you?”“Not particularly.”“’Fraid that’s how it goes, when you smell as …delectable as you do. Makes a man want to—”“Okay, I don’t particularly want to know.”Especially not while I was kneeling at the guy’s feet."

"“Miss Ravenshaw,” he said, bringing me to a halt before my hand touched the knob. “I’ve an issue for you . I’m not providing you with housing and food so that you can play with my dogs all day."

"Say, if I were to incorporate a bit of training and discipline?”“I am always in favor of discipline.” An unbidden image of lying naked across his lap flashed through my head,"

"The intensity of his gaze tickled her stomach. “When you ache for pleasure, I am your mercy.” A look of conviction claimed his expression, as he said , “I will burn down this pathetic world for you. Only you. You are mine, little fledgling. Always.”"

"“At least tell me if I should be frightened to be alone with you.” One slow trek up my body, and his gaze met mine. “Yes. You absolutely should be.” I shook my head, slowly, absorbing his words. “If you were capable of harm, you would’ve done it by now.”“Perhaps, like the dogs, I enjoy a chase.” For a man with only one good eye, he surely packed the intensity into his stare."

"“I would’ve killed him.” He didn’t bother to look at me, still staring out the window. “Killed him for ditching me?”“No. For asking you in the first place.” I stared back at him, the carriage suddenly too small. My dress too tight and hot for the warmth that settled over me. “You are a mystifying enigma, Mister Van Croix.” His gaze swung back to me, devouring me in one sweep. “And you are a frustrating distraction"

"“Am I not your type?” With a held breath, I waited for him to answer. To get the rejection over with so I could breathe again. His lips curved to the slightest smile, and hands behind his back, he casually strolled back toward me. “Unfortunately for you, you are precisely my type.”“Why is that unfortunate?”“Because I will fuck you in all the worst ways.”“I’m a big girl, Mister Van Croix."

"All he’d done was gripped my arms and pulled me against him, yet I could hardly keep myself upright. “You will give yourself to me, Farryn. And you will willingly watch me devour every inch of you like it’s my last fucking meal.”"

"“Humans are such tempting little creatures.” He licked my neck, taking his time over my hammering pulse. “I don’t know what is it about seeing you restrained that makes me want to fuck you so relentlessly.”😅"
