All's Fair in Love and Blood
Jennifer Peel
by M. L. Burns
The stakes have never been higher in this heart-wrenching conclusion to The Filthy Duet. Picking up the shattered pieces left by the cliffhanger of the first installment, this dark vampire romance pushes the boundaries of devotion and sacrifice. Kairhyse is a man possessed, his patience evaporated as he hunts for the woman who owns his soul. With Xeraphine stolen once again, he is prepared to burn the world to the ground, even if it means clashing with his own allies to reclaim his future.
Xeraphine refuses to be a pawn in a destiny carved out for her since childhood. Despite being held captive, her spirit remains unbroken and fiercely defiant. She is no longer the submissive tool they expected; she is a woman fighting for her autonomy and the man she loves. As the truth behind her origins comes to light, she must find the strength to shatter her chains before her purpose consumes her entirely.
Blending visceral, high-octane action with raw emotional vulnerability, this story is a savage exploration of love against impossible odds. M.L. Burns delivers a dark, spicy, and unapologetically bold experience that will leave readers reeling. If you crave intense paranormal romance where the passion is as deadly as the secrets, this is your next obsession.

Here’s my quick, spoiler-free take on a really spicy duet by M. L. Burns. The first book is All Your Bloody Lies, and the second one, All Your Deadly Truths, just dropped this September. Seriously, this duet is definitely in my top 10 reads of 2025, maybe even top 5! It totally caught me off guard. I picked up All Your Bloody Lies on a whim and let me tell you, I couldn’t put it down. This series is a dark paranormal fantasy romance, and I mean dark—so make sure to check out those trigger...

Okay but—WOW. I am officially unwell after finishing this book. M.L. Burns did not come to play; she came to ruin my peace, twist my heart, and make me question everyone’s motives. The drama? The betrayal? The slow-burn secrets unraveling like a bomb waiting to explode? I was hooked from page one and couldn’t put it down if I tried. Every chapter had me gasping, clutching my Kindle, and whispering “no way” like I was living inside the story. The characters were so messy in the best way...

From start to finish, this was utterly savage and immaculate. First, that dedication deserves its own altar: “For the ones who disagree with my body, my choice—f*** you.” A warning. A promise. A battle cry. 🔥 👏🏽 Queen words!! 👏🏽 M.L. came back swinging even harder for book 2. She didn’t just continue the story, she sharpened every blade. This book drips with “touch her and you’ll die” energy. Our FMC is still fierce and scarred, but watching her evolution, learning when to fight alone and...

I get that it’s a spicy novel, but the sex got boring in my opinion. And the repetitive “you’re my everything” and “she is mine, all mine” and the constant reminders of it, eye roll. The plot was good enough to stand on its own and then have a few powerful intimate scenes in it with mention of other sexual moments for her to feed would have been better in my opinion. Make the yearning for them prolonged, instead I ended up skipping several scenes because it became more of “oh here we go again”....
