Description
To hell and back . . .Though he has vampire, demon, and Viking blood rushing through his veins, Ivar Kjeidsen’s soul-crushing trip to hell broke him in ways he can barely fathom. One vow keeps the deadly immortal standing: To rescue the vampire brother who had sacrificed freedom for him. To do that, Ivar needs the help of a brilliant physicist with wary brown eyes, fierce brilliance, and skin that's way too soft.
Dr. Promise Williams understands the underpinnings of the universe but has never figured out the human beings inhabiting it. Her function is to think—and not feel—until she’s touched by a vampire who’s nowhere near human. The primal hunger in his eyes awakens feelings in her that defy calculation. As she shows him the way to step between worlds, he brands her with a pleasure that could last more than a lifetime . . .AMAZON 4 STARS
This book has quite the interesting start. It's designed to grab your attention. And for me, it worked!
Before I get more into the people in this story I just need to mention something. Although a lot of the science and math ideas escaped me, there still was some great world-building. Especially what Ivar called, " Hell Worlds" I might not understand the science of it but the author still did a great job of showing just how bad some of those were. Showed how they earned that title.
Promise was all brain for most of her life. It seemed like that's all her parents demanded from her. Any imagination or even fun seemed to be ground right out of her by them. Emotion was NOT a priority in their life and didn't seem to see the need for it in hers. It didn't take long for Ivar to see what a lonely little girl she had been. I liked how Ivar saw more than just her very intelligent brain. Oh, he liked how smart she was and got a big kick out of watching her attack a problem. But he also brought out the passion in her, helped her get in touch with her feelings and even gave her a nickname. Towards the end of the book she began to realized that he had taught her that emotions and intelligence could make her smarter and stronger.
It's pretty clear that Ivar has suffered some horrific things. But he also wants to honor his vow to Quade to rescue him from that Hell World. Even if he has to take his place again.
Ivar is quite the fighting machine but also proves to be quite the love machine when it comes to Promise. So, yes there will be quite a few HOT times between the two of them. Promise thinks that a logical decision would be to mate with Ivar. She likes him, the sex rocks her world. She also wants forever to work on all the things that her mind wants to solve. Ivar knows she only thinks she knows what that would be like being his mate.
They have plenty of time to think about it as there is a lot of dangers, and actions and problems going on.
Some pretty good supporting people in the story as well. Ivar has a lot of good people in his corner. He also has more than a couple of villains that want him dead too.
Just to let you know, not all of the problems are solved in this book but they are making headway!
There is a quick look into another book by Rebecca Zanetti. It's a Deep Ops novel called, "FALLEN."
