The action is tight with an amazing flow, the characters are fully developed, and I was rather sad that it had to come to an end.
Succubae? Nephilim? There's enough action that this would have made one hell of a good movie to watch if it was scripted for the big screen. It takes a lot of creativity to make up such a world and these organizations, factions, and supernatural creatures. A chocolate brown, sexy angel with a six pack? God yes. I felt like I got double my money's worth!Īlso, Lucien is damned hot. In fact, there is an additional surprise romance brewing within the pages that was so well-put together that I giddily clapped when I realized what was happening. The sensual scenes between the characters were hot and exciting. Simone is talented with her words and I could see the love and attention put into this polished work. The Naphil's Kiss starts off with the love affair between a succubus and a half-breed angel, and follows their love (lust) at first sight whirlwind affair centuries later. I was worried that I would become inundated with enough religious ideals and references to fill a church sermon.Īnd wonder what the hell I'm reading. Usually, these kinds of stories feel preachy. I end up feeling like this because nothing at all makes sense or feels as if it were done for any reason other than the author wanting some hot and sexy characters to get together despite their very different upbringings. I wasn't disappointed by this particular tale of angelic romance. I have yet to read a novel with these kinds of characters that didn't dwindle down a scary path that fails to explain why these supernatural beings are even capable of being together. I wasn't very familiar with Nephilim or Succubae before reading this book and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about them as well as the unique way the author was able to spin the story, tying together good and evil, human and immortal and binding them all through their ultimate common connection - Love. In the midst of this passionate romance, we encounter action, adventure and heart-wrenching drama, all of which are neatly strung together by several interesting plot twists!Īside from being extremely entertaining, the subject matter was incredibly interesting.
Naturally, a love that spans over several centuries doesn't come without a few obstacles.never mind the fact that the lovers were born to be sworn enemies. The initial attraction between Sahari and Lucien soon grew into a beautiful love story which only seemed to grow stronger and deeper as the book went on. I had no idea what to expect when I sat down to read Tears of Blood this afternoon, but was immediately intrigued by the coupling of Sarahi and Lucien and didn't get up from the couch again until I finished the entire book!
