Guest Review: Desires Unleashed – DN Simmons

Desires Unleashed is the first novel in the riveting, highly-addictive and sexually-charged Knights of the Darkness Chronicles. Experience the heart-pounding thrill of the chase in this electrifying page-turner as you uncover the mystery behind the series of gruesome killings that have been terrorizing the citizens of Chicago.

When a grisly decapitated corpse pops up on a Chicago Street, drained of blood, the highly-trained, government-funded special police force assigned two of their best detectives to the case. S.U.I.T. Detectives Warren Davis and Matthew Eric delve deep into their investigation to discover just who or what is leaving mutilated bodies in public places. They soon realize that the killer or killers is one step ahead of them and if they are going to stop the menace before another innocent human is viciously attack, they are going to need help.

Natasha Hemingway liked her life just the way it was… normal and supernatural-free. The vampires and shape-shifters were just where she wanted them to be—far away from her. All was going well until an unfortunate accident landed her in the hospital. It was then that she discovered she had an ability that could help her save countless lives. All of a sudden, she finds herself thrust into the dangerous and alluring world of the supernatural and into the arms of two very sexy and deadly vampires.

Original, gritty and sprinkled with just the right amount of humor and wit, the Knights of the Darkness Chronicles will suck you in and take you for a ride you won’t forget. You don’t want to miss out on this amazing series!

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

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!
