Vamped Up (Vampires of Crimson Bay Series Book 2) Kindle Edition

“Vampires in Crimson Bay have been saved by the successful duplication of Eve’s pure blood. The threat to her safety is gone, Ruan. You can return to our haven. But if you choose the love of a mundane over the duty to your khiss, you’re on your own.”

—Note from the San Francisco Primus

“I said stop, Eve.” A dark musky smell emitted from Ruan’s skin. It was possession. “You don’t know what you’re asking of me.”

Eve had spent an entire month begging Ruan to drink from her. To share one of the most erotic experiences a vampire and mundane could share. Yet he’d denied her. Now, there was no turning back.

“Either drink from me now, proving to yourself that you have the strength to do this, or let me fulfill my personal obligation to your race on my terms.” Stifling a gasp, she punctured her skin with the tip of the blade, then lifted the steel to examine it. Her blood, red and thick, hung on the edge. “That’s only fair, given what we both want, don’t you think?”

With a hollow-sounding groan, Ruan snatched her hand and licked her palm, sending chills exploding through her hand.

Vamped Up, book two in Kristin Miller's Vampires Of Crimson Bay series is a fast-paced, dark, gritty paranormal romance that doesn't disappoint. The story picks up shortly after book one (Intervamption) left off, with the hero and heroine, Ruan and Eve in the beginning stages of their relationship. Ruan's feelings for Eve are powerful and strong. But, his bloodlust is even stronger, and he finds himself battling some serious demons as he fights to move forward in his relationship with Eve. A hazy recollection of his past combined with violent dreams of bleeding Eve dry send him reeling. Afraid of what might happen should he give into both his and Eve's desires, he keeps her at arms length and immerses himself in the search for the Grimorium Verum, the sacred book that contains the ancient scrolls of the vampire race. What Ruan doesn't know is that Eve isn't just an ordinary mundane. She's a crucial player in the war between vampires and therians with a past that's linked to his.

I thoroughly enjoyed Vamped Up. My favorite characters from Intervamption return, along with a few new gems who hooked me right away. Kristin does a great job of showing Ruan's anguish and self-loathing, and Eve's reaction in turn. She also does a bang up job writing dark, evil characters. Savage returns in this installment in a big way, and with him, a very compelling storyline. Between the unique lore, the fated love story and the non-stop action, Vamped Up has a little something for everyone. I highly recommend.

I have really enjoyed this series so far. Ms. Miller is inventive and brings a whole new world to us. I'm glad she's in print. These books have action, mystery, and passion. I've read at least a thousand books in the Romance/suspense/erotic genre...Ms. Miller is on my "To buy list."

Not a fan of vampires, but you make them likable. This story full of surprises, love, action and death , it kept me occupied from the page one. Hate to wait for another vamp book. Thanks Mrs. Miller for fantastic sleepless night. I'm your big fan!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but with some reservations!

I enjoyed the first one and I did enjoy this but it takes so long to get to the point. This often creates confusion with details and causes a negative feel to the whole story.

The characters often make stupids decisions without basis, the timing in it seems to lower the appeal of the events. A good example is the pregnancy of one of the characters, her sickness is mentioned then suddenly she tells her mate. How much time has passed, a day? Why didn't he and everyone else guess as it was so obvious? There is too much going on that following the plot is frustrating. It keeps digressing rather than moving to another scenario.

Ruan seems to whine most of the time, refuses to listen to logic and this takes away from him as the hero. It is a shame as this book could be better than this. The author writes well and the plot is very interesting but this time round I don't think I can be bothered getting the next book. I am sure many would disagree.

3.0 out of 5 stars I liked the first one better
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2011
I'll be honest. When I started reading, I was already annoyed because I couldn't find a decent summary description on this book anywhere. I don't like spoilers, but I do want at least a general idea of what I am about to read. I'm off-topic already, but it had to be said. Now, let me give you the basics.

We first met Eve and Ruan back in  Intervamption  and it was clear even then that they were on the path to get their own story. Unfortunately, this book really kind of skips over all of the falling in love parts. We've had a time jump of a few weeks since the last book and our couple is already involved in a serious relationship as this story begins. Ruan is a vampire and Eve is a human, which is causing some problems. Ruan wants to take her blood, but he knows he doesn't have the control to stop feeding once he starts. He's been having dreams about killing Eve and it's scaring him to death. His fears are driving a wedge between them, which is made worse by the fact that he won't tell her what's going on inside him.

Meanwhile, Savage is back and he still wants to take over as the leader of the vampires. His latest plan to accomplish that is to learn how to harness and control the powerful dark spirits that dwell within the Elders of the race. It's not as easy as he first hoped and eventually his nefarious plan brings him to Eve, who turns out to be much more than a mundane human.

It took me a really long time to get into this book. Perhaps, this is because so much of the love connection between Ruan and Eve happened off page. Maybe because I was frustrated by Ruan's unwillingness to communicate. I don't know. The characters fell flat and I couldn't connect to their relationship. I just wasn't feeling the book at all, until about halfway-in... when we started to see the set-up for side character Dante's story. It wasn't a great sign that I was more interested in what happened to him than what was going on with our main couple.

Eventually, Eve and Ruan's story does get more interesting, as we begin to learn about their hidden pasts. But it took too long to get there. I felt like this book had potential that it just didn't reach. I liked the last book better and hopefully Dante's story will reel me back in to this series. He seems like a pretty tortured hero --and I'm such a sucker for those. 3 stars.
