*5 Star Review* of Darkness Rising from Books and Beyond Fifty Shades
"I loved the struggle for Antoine after he first was turned into a Vampire/Gargoyle hybrid. He could have turned and became a monster, yet, he was able to keep as much of his humanity as he could. That is what makes him so loveable throughout this series."

Books and Beyond Fifty Shades gave FIVE STARS to the other books in the Chateau Seductions series as well:
