At
the turn of the 19th century, former aristocrat turned lowly vampire
Devlin Dalcon gets by on his supernatural charms until he meets
bride-to-be Annabelle. Smitten by Anna’s forthrightness, intellect,
and bravery, Devlin risks his life to spirit her away to
Fontainebleau, France. There Devlin begins his ascent to power in a
desperate bid for wealth and social standing for himself and Anna.
Forging
alliances with other supernatural leaders, he usurps the vampire Lord
of Fontainebleau, amassing many enemies during his brief reign.
Within a few years, he and Anna are again forced to flee for their
lives to America. Living in hiding, Devlin is determined to amend his
ways. But when tragedy strikes, Devlin’s dark side, never fully
extinguished, emerges rampant, securing him the bloody throne of
America even as his malevolence and loneliness consumes him.
My Review:
This is Devlin's
story, told from his POV. There were times while I was reading, that
maybe Devlin felt remorseful for how he had acted in certain
situations. I felt Devlin wanted to show his emotional side but
didn't really know how, so he didn't. It was great to learn that he
could actually have friends.
Devlin could also
be a charmer and very loving when he wanted to. On the flip side, he
could be merciless and unforgiving as well. I grew to like Devlin
somewhat and understand how his past had molded him into the man he
became. But he still scares the beegeesus out of me at times.
Ms. Fox tells
Devlin's story with a lot of emotions and character surprises. The
book is fast-paced, full of adventure, danger, unexpected twists and
turns, and has a lot of sexual tension. I loved the secondary
characters, they were well written and were full of depth and
dimension.
I feel like I know
Devlin a little better now and understand some of his motives and
actions. After all I believe he only wants to make things better for
the Vampires around him.
Immortal
Confessions helped to fill in a lot of the hows, whats and whys of
Devlin and a little bit for Danial. This is an important part of the
story arc and should not be missed. I really enjoyed this book.
