Description

ANNA

A made man in the Italian Mafia. An immortal blood demon. My dark salvation.

I wanted to reinvent myself, stop hiding in a classroom and prove I’m more than a mousey professor. But the real world is deadlier than I imagined.

My new boss is arrogant, domineering, and dangerous. His thirsty stare ignites my passions, revealing a woman I don’t recognize—someone desperate to break free.

I should have quit, should have run screaming. Because Marco DeVita isn’t just thirsty for my body. He craves my blood. And I’m ready to give him every part of me.

MARCO

Heritage. Family. Blood. The bonds that have tied me to the Boston underworld for almost a century are unbreakable. Or so I thought.

Someone in my crew is stealing from me, betraying our family. But I need an expert to find proof.

Anna Barone is a distraction I can’t afford. Her brilliant mind, hot temper, and hotter body make my fangs ache with need.

I’m trapped between my desire to possess her and my duty to protect my family and our secret. It’s one or the other, because in my world, everything comes at a price.

Advance Praise

"Intense, enthralling, and wickedly sexy! This slow-burn tale of a clever wallflower and her overprotective blood demon mafioso delighted me from one breathless twist to the next. Ten huge, sparkling, morally gray stars!!"

~ New York Times bestselling author, Annika Martin

"Listen, this is a great read. It's one of the few romances I've read recently that really understands tone and mood. Anna's descent into Marco's world, the tone of it, it feels cinematic. It's sexy, very noir almost, the way that it feels as you're reading it. It really scratched a lot of my itches."

~ Co-Host of the Fated Mates romance podcast, Jen Prokop

"With sharp, incisive prose and a smoldering, tense slow-burn that kept me turning pages late into the night, Brehm masterfully shows it's never too late for a wallflower to find her voice. Anna has my whole heart."

~ Author of the New Olympus series, Shoshana Rain

"Mafia meets paranormal romance featuring an over 40 FMC? I mean...did Brehm write this book for me? I loved every second of this fun, twisty, emotional, and steamy story. Her Dark Salvation is smart, sexy, original, and a must read for anyone who wants to see more romances featuring older main characters."

This was such a great concept for a not really vampire, mafia romance. The world adjusting was well done and built up just enough of difference from the real world to add that extra something to the story. The characters were well developed, especially the blood demons because they have so much more history. Anna was interesting because she wasn’t the young ingenue but instead was a successful, intelligent, mature woman and it made her decisions and thought processes throughout the story feel more real.
The narrators were wonderful and the editing and production were well done.

I was unsure about this one going into it but ended up really loving it. The slow tension building between Anna and Marco was amazing! I loved that the author didn't feel inclined to rush them together and to sacrifice plot for smut. The paranormal romance aspect was beautifully done, I loved how the mafia world and demons were blended together for a unique story. I also really enjoyed some of the side characters. Siobhan and Luca were so well-rounded and I hope to encounter more about them as the series progresses. I think Anna is a super relatable FMC and I loved how Marco was a dangerous guy but felt so safe for her. Anna coming into her own and becoming more self confident was presented beautifully as well. The narration was so good and the emotions were felt in every scene.

Thank you to Katelynn Brehm and NetGalley for this advance copy!
