Guardians of Eternity #6-7.6, 8

by Alexandra Ivy

They are the Guardians of Eternity, strong, skilled, seductive vampires chosen to protect—and to destroy. Darkness is their realm—where their desires know no bounds. Rediscover five eternally enticing novels in New York Times bestselling author Alexandra Ivy's long-running series . . .

BEYOND THE DARKNESS
As leader of his werewolf pack, it's Salvatore Giuliani's duty to track down the pureblood females who can keep his people from extinction. But the moment he catches scent of Harley, his savage need for her obliterates all other instincts. And the only thing worse than being captured is finding that beautiful, independent Harley defiantly refuses to become his mate . . .

DEVOURED BY DARKNESS
Tane is a Charon, sworn to hunt and kill rogue vampires. His new assignment seems like a waste of his talents. Half human, half demon, Laylah has a vulnerable streak that strikes right through to Tane's cold heart. He should be furious when she uses her powers to bind them together, instead he welcomes any reason to stay close enough to touch, to taste, to seduce . . .

DARKNESS ETERNAL
After being held captive by one vampire for four centuries, Kata had no intention of taking another one to the underworld with her. Yet even in the pits of Hell, there's no ignoring the intoxicating desire awakened by Uriel's touch . . .

TAKEN BY DARKNESS
The daughter of a witch, Juliet Lawrence has inherited magical powers—powers that could be quite useful to Victor, Marquess DeRosa, London's most powerful vampire. But that's not all Victor desires of Juliet. He wants the unpredictable beauty in his bed—and he is accustomed to getting what he wants . . .

BOUND BY DARKNESS
Jaelyn is a stunningly beautiful, utterly lethal, elite vampire warrior sent to capture Ariyal, a Sylvermyst who puts up zero resistance. In fact, she knows that what's sparked between them is far more dangerous than simple lust. And as they unite to thwart a terrifying prophecy, she will risk everything to fulfill her destiny by his side . . .

About the author

I'm not exactly sure when I fell in love with books. Probably on my mother's knee listening to her read Dr. Seuss to me. I do remember that I was barely old enough to cross the street by myself when I discovered the delights of the local library. Could anything be more wonderful than spending summer days surrounded by stacks of Nancy Drew mysteries? Over the years I fell in love with Victoria Holt, Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, and J.R.R. Tolkien just to name a few. I read poetry, essays, biographies, and plays. In fact, I read anything I could get my hands on.

Years later (no, I'm not admitting how many) I'm still an avid reader, and my tastes are still as varied as they were in my youth, which I suppose helps to explain why I enjoy writing regency historicals under the name of Deborah Raleigh, as well as my contemporary paranormals as Alexandra Ivy. For now that is enough to keep me busy, but who knows what the future might hold!

I do have a few other loves in my life besides reading and writing, the most important being my unbelievably patient husband, David, and my two sons, Chance and Alexander. Without their constant support and belief in me, I never could have been able to follow my dreams. They are truly my heroes.

Reviews

[Amber · Rating 4 out of 5]

I won this book from a giveaway which led to me reading the first six books. Good mix of paranormal and romance but each book led to a predictable ending which eventually got repetitive. Overall enjoyable to read otherwise.

Love

I absolutely love this series. I enjoyed reading one story to next all together. This was my second time reading the series. And it was just as amazing as the first time.

[Tammy Scheidt · Rating 5 out of 5]

I won this in a giveaway so I will review it but unless something changes I'll just say the stories are good, but I have found several typos and character mix up along the way and this includes the first bundle. Most mix-ups didn't distract from the stories only confused me for a bit. I reviewed each book in the previous bundle separately but like I said I will probably be reviewing this collection as a whole. So far during the first bundle the stories didn't seem to be connected or continuous but I feel like they are finally finding a connection beyond the world in which they take place. I hope this thread continues and expands. I don't know why the font changed for the second book but it's tiny.
Taken by Darkness- 5 stars but feel like this story should have come first... flashes back over two hundred years, or closer to the beginning.
