Desires Unleashed was hard for me to get into at the beginning due to the characters being introduced, you get to know their story and know about them which helps later on in the book but also I would imagine for the other books that will be written.
Once that bit was over I was hooked. The story was brilliant and unique.
I love reading about Vampires and Shape-Shifters so this was really up my street. Humans are being murdered and now Humans, Vampires and Shape-Shifters have to work together to stop the murder before the humans start panicking.
There was also romances involved too, and it does involve, gay, bisexual and straight sexualities which was interesting for me as I don’t think I have read a paranormal/urban fantasy where vampires and shape-shifters are gay or bisexual.

It was an amazing read and I cannot wait to read the next book.

"AMAZING. I am in LOVE. This book was wonderful! The author has created an amazing world full of a vast variety of paranormal creatures. Gay, bisexual, straight, were, vamp… the possibilities are endless. Being a character driven story, you get to know each and every character (and there are quite a few!), their quirks, sexuality, flaws, likes, dislikes and background. The two main detectives, Warren and Matthew are my favorite characters. Funny, with great chemistry, they are perfect in their roles. The secondary characters that the author has created add so much to the story as well.

The crimes that are committed are grisly, and the author holds nothing back when it comes to the gruesome case that the detectives are trying to solve. Part mystery/thriller and part paranormal romance, the story is unique - intense yet extremely passionate. It’s a gripping, wild ride that will have you hanging on from start to finish. I absolutely cannot wait to read more!
