About this book

A Vampire Virtuoso, a Faery Prince, and a slew of heinous murders.

I have promenaded down the streets and avenues of New Orleans for two hundred years. Born and long since dead, I received the Cadeau de Sang Illecebrous at the tender age of sixteen in 1820, and ever since that lurid moment, I, Zylphia Lynum, have shadowed the Crescent City, hunting prey as a vampire.

That life is no more, whether I like it or not. Our Monarchs, for whom I would do anything, have created and promoted a time of peace among the witches, voodoo practitioners, ghosts, and now the half-fae that have entered our sacred city. Now, some half-faeries are missing, and the Seelie Queen of faeries threatens to wage war on the vampires of New Orleans. With my King and Queen on their honeymoon, it’s up to me to assuage the faeries and protect my city, all while dealing with a captivating faery who turned up in Claret right before the killings began to occur. I have no time for a tryst and certainly no need for anything more, but he is wrapped into every aspect of our faery drama, and his ocean blue eyes haunt my every step.

The Binding Trilogy isn't Quite Over

September 21, 2018

Fans of Clapton's Binding Trilogy will want to snatch this novel up ASAP.

True vampire lovers will understand that Zylphia is no wilting flower; she isn't even remotely sparkly, and has very little positive to say about humans, vampires or...anyone really. Zylphia lets her lust for blood color her everyday activities and...

Move aside, Sybella Rose...

Wow! What a fantastic treat! At first I was just happy to delve back into the Binding universe missing my beloved characters... but I never guessed I would come to love Zylphia so much! Her internal ramblings made me laugh, cry, and just want to get to know her better. She is such a contrast to Sybella that reading from her point of view was an instant hook for me. And I loved that we finally got to learn the Creep Twins’ background. But all that aside, the actual plot–mysterious...

Wow this is the fourth book in the series and I must say the spice in this was hottt. I'm glad that the book told the story of Zylphia and how and why she is so rude in the fist book. Now I feel for her in this book and what her character has been through. A definite must read )

Read it NOW!

Fantastic read , I love seeing the transformation of Zylphia from one of “the creep twins” into a trusted friend and leader in her own right. I’d had no idea that she’d been turned so young. Highly recommended! )

Fantastic!

This book is amazing. I love that it gives us Zylphia's story along with the next part of the battle with the fairies. I cannot wait for the next book. )
