Kirkus Review

The popular Argeneau romance series expands its horizons with a mysterious island with fantastic beasts and a diabolical doctor determined to change life as we know it and find immortality no matter the cost.Domitian Argenis has been waiting millennia to find his mate and over a decade to claim her, so once he discovers she's been lured to Venezuela under questionable circumstances, nothing will stop him from following her there, neither the potential danger nor the fact that a handful of immortals have disappeared recently, all tied to the man who's offered Domitian a job. Moments after boarding the helicopter that will take him to meet Dr. Dressler, he's drugged and he wakes in a tropical paradise with his fated mate, Sarita, a Canadian police officer who's also been drugged and left on the jungle island in a luxury home, lured by the story that her grandmother has been injured in a fall. Alone but surrounded by cameras, the two succumb to their supernatural attraction but also plan to get off the island and search for clues to help them. Escaping leads to even more danger, though, as they find Dr. Dressler's nearby island compound and a veritable menagerie of creatures with manipulated human and animal DNA. Having mastered this dubious scientific breakthrough, Dressler is now determined to crack the Argeneau brand of immortality and is conducting inhumane experiments on captive immortals to that end. Sarita and Domitian find unexpected allies who help them connect with the Argeneau clan and outside help, and through their adventures, Sarita just may begin to believe in love and fate. Bestseller Sands' newest title is a rip-roaring story that opens up a new threadand enemyto her paranormal world and will delight her fans; for the casual observer, though, there may be a few too many coincidences to make the story completely satisfying. An imaginative and entertaining addition to the Argeneau world. Copyright Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.

Booklist Review

Police officer Sarita Reyes can't believe she is in a mad scientist's lair. But that is the only explanation that makes any sense when she stumbles across the cut-in-half corpse of a man chained to two different tables in Dr. Dressler's lab. What is even more crazy is what happens next. Dr. Dressler and his lemon-lipped nurse not only put the man back together again but bring him back to life by pouring gallons of blood over the body. Dr. Dressler insists that there's a logical explanation. The resurrected man, Domitian Argeneau, is an immortal: a scientifically created vampire and the subject of Dr. Dressler's studies of vampires under stress. And Sarita, it seems, is Domitian's life mate and has a prominent role to play in the good doctor's experiments. Fans of Sands' (Immortal Nights, 2016) long-running Argeneau series will definitely be thrilled with her latest, which delivers all of the hot-blooded passion, steamy sex, and intense danger they expect along with a cast of colorful secondary characters, including a villain who could very well be Dr. Moreau's separated-at-birth twin.--Charles, John Copyright 2017 Booklist

Library Journal Review

Nothing, not even her job as a cop, could have prepared Sarita Reyes for the gruesome scene in the deranged Dr. Dressler's island laboratory or his off-the-wall talk of nanobots, vampires, and life-mates. When Sarita awakens after being drugged, she realizes that she and gorgeous vampire Domitian Argenis are not only prisoners-and the subjects of the mad scientist's latest experiment-but, indeed, those life-mates. They know they must get off the island if they're going to save themselves and the others Dressler holds captive. VERDICT Heart-pounding sex, stirring banter, high-risk adventure, and intelligent characters make this 25th series installment another winner; sure to please both dedicated fans and new readers.
