Finally we get Ella’s story and Viper’s story. I was so engrossed in their journey to be together.

Both characters are strong and powerful and the spark between them is in every interaction. The chemistry is fire. The twist on what Viper is was fantastic. Viper has waited for Ella for a very long time so don’t you wait and buy this book right away.

Suzanne Wright did it again with this one!

Wright delivered a wonderful read with great characters, an original storyline, and fantastic writing. With a long series, there's always the chance that the books will start to lose something along the way, but Viper kept the same awesomeness that sucked me into the series in the first place.

I highly recommend this!

I was so excited to get this arc!
I have read and even reread the Dark in You series. I cannot say enough good things about this series and all the characters. It's always good catching up with them with each new book.
When I was introduced to Ella the demon incantor and Viper the fallen angel motorcycle club president in Hunted, I knew their story would be epic.
But of course, Suzanne always has some tricks up her sleeves and I never expected the storyline to go in this direction. I don't want to give anything away, it's best to experience this tragic but beautiful love story blindly.
I loved it, it was unique and refreshing. I especially liked the spin on the seven deadly sins and devoured it in a day.

These characters had the best chemistry and banter, and Viper was the perfect alpha male who longed for his girl.
I hope this isn't the end, maybe Mia will be up next?

Releases July 18th, you won't want to miss this one!
Thank you NetGalley, Suzanne Wright, and Little Brown Book for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

I have been reading Suzanne Wright since she started publishing. She is an automatic buy for me. I love her wit and humor and they way she incorporates previous characters into any story she writes. Also, her world building skills are phenomenal. While I did enjoy this story I felt it did not have some elements that are usually in all of her books. There was not the fun banter and sarcasm that reigns supreme in Ms. Wright's stories - there was a little, but not very much. This just seemed a little too somber compared to the other books she has written.

This was still a good story, I just felt it was lacking in her standard humor. Viper and Ella were strong characters and did feel really connected. The secondary characters - Mia, Dice, etc. were well written and definitely added to the story. The plot was fast paced and action packed. This was a great continuation to the Dark in You series, and hopefully there will be more.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC.

Ella and Viper have history..a past..and potentially a future. The only problem is, Ella has no memory of it. Not consciously at least.

When Viper finally finds Ella after searching for 28 years, he watches her from a far, slowly insinuating himself into her life in one way or another. Now that he and his brothers have “fallen”, he is taking his time getting to know “Ella” as she is now..her quirks, her habits, likes and dislikes. Just as he begins to connect with Ella, danger is near. Someone or some thing is snatching humans, killing them and leaving them on the doorsteps of the biker clubs and compound. An enemy, still in the shadows, is making it difficult for Viper to finally claim his woman.

Ella is happy with her life. She and her sister run a shop in the Underground with her mom and aunt. She helps here and there with witch related needs in the community. However, for some reason her sleep has been disturbed and someone has targeted her with anonymous notes here and there. Some are benign, but they’re becoming more serious. Her anchor has not been able to find the culprit and that lends to the urgency of locating and terminating the person trying to harm Ella. What she doesn’t know is that Viper has already taken care of the prime suspect, so now the question becomes, is the person or persons targeting Ella connected to the danger Viper and the club are dealing with?

When they finally get together they keep it secret while they navigate the distrust that befalls the “Fallen” by Ella’s mother and aunt. Their hatred of the Fallen (Archangels) over shadows their love for Ella, so keeping it a secret is the plan until it can’t be hidden any longer. The fallout with her family and anchor is legendary, but together, they face the negativity. When the beings behind the danger finally make themselves known, fighting them will be reveal culprits from the past and the threat to the future.

I loved this story as I do all of Suzanne’s books. Ella being reincarnated and Viper never losing hope of finding her again was the catalyst for this story. Watching it unfold chapter by chapter kept you riveted and thirsty for wanting them to not only discover each other, but also, finding out who is behind the threats and the killing. Suzanne weaves an intricate tale that gives you twists and turns to keep you riveted.

We waited a while to see how Ella and Viper were connected and we were not disappointed.

Ella is the love of Viper’s life only she doesn’t remember that or him being hers. You see before Ella was Ella… she was someone else. Due to the betrayal of those close to Viper, both lives were changed forever. After decades of searching for his mate, Viper found her and made the decision he had been wanting to make the moment he saw her the first time. She may not look the same nor remember him but she is still the only one that makes him feel. Viper lost her once and he would do everything to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

I was curious about these two after the little snippet in the last book. I have been eagerly waiting to get my hands on this story and when I did, I literally started break dancing (unsuccessfully). I never thought this was going to be the storyline. Though with Viper being who he was… I should have guessed. Nonetheless, I was pleasantly surprised. I devoured it. I even went back for seconds. I was rooting for them from the first page. And I instantly disliked anyone that tried get in their way.

I love a man that communicates! Viper communication skills were top tier. When he was pissed, you knew it. When he is interested in you🤭 he made sure you knew it with both his actions and words. I mean sure the guy was hiding things but he was going reveal them to her and he did. The guy had a plan to get his girl and keep her forever this time. Unfortunately he also had enemies who would love to see him anything but happy.

No surprise that I adored both characters. I love a strong fmc and a mmc that bends over backwards to ensure his girl is never in danger. The tension and attraction between these two could burn the pages of the book. It was *chefkiss*. Loved how possessive/protective/obsessive he was of her. Loved that Viper wasn’t controlling. Let her do her thing and just had her back.

I found myself smiling a lot as I read viper. Like they were cute! Also it made me happy to see previous main characters from this series appear in Viper🥹

Like most of books in this series the last 10% of the book had me sitting on the edge of my seat. The Big Bang before the happily ever after.

Absolutely adore Suzanne’s writing style. Easy to read, easy to get into, great pace and just entertaining to read.

I loved the romance, the banter between friends, the little dramas, the attraction between mcs, action/fighting scene (got to read about viper and his brothers in action), loved the fact that this was paranormal romance but also a biker romance. I also love getting introduced to new characters (Luca🤭) because that just means a potential new book.

I will end this review by saying that although I finished this master piece, I am left with so many questions. Questions I need answers to like right now. Will Mia get a book? because I feel like her story is unfinished. How long do I have to wait to get Luca’s book? I need to know who the next book will be about! So like 🤙🏽😉 & let me know x

Viper and Ella...what can I say, WOW!!! I loved the snippets of these two characters previously, and I could not wait for their story! Viper knows Ella is his. He's been watching over her and slowly integrating himself into her life from the outskirts. Ella has a strong pull towards Viper every time she is in his presence, not knowing they have had a whole other past together. Angels and Demons shouldn't be together, should they? Viper's past is the reason Ella doesn't know who she is to him, and one of the many obstacles that seems to be getting in the way of their possible future. I love Viper and Ella's rapport, and how they were with each other. I also really enjoyed getting to know their families and how Viper's crew was automatically super protective of Ella. Many twists and turns, with some surprises at the end...I absolutely loved this book! I haven't found a Suzanne Wright book I haven't loved yet though, and this one is definitely my new favorite of this series!

A fabulous return to the crazy, paranormal world inhabited by demons, witches, imps and all manner of hell beasts that hides beneath the bright lights of Vegas and now with Viper we can add badass fallen angels and bikers to that heady mix. Once upon a time Viper was an arch angel, until he fell to earth in search of the woman he loved who’d had been taken from him. He waited years for her reincarnation only to find she didn’t remember their past life, even as she felt some strange pull towards him but the Celestial beings who parted them in the first place weren’t about to let them have any happy ending.

I loved the introduction of new characters which brought new blood to one of my favourite paranormal series. The heroine Ella has been a recurring character throughout, but Viper was more of a mystery, surrounded by rumours, none he was ready to confirm or deny. His behaviour towards Ella might’ve seemed stalkerish but others would call it being protective and given their past could you blame him! Their overall story was fast paced with plenty of sizzle and smexy times, strong family dynamics and the wickedly delicious banter I’ve expect from this author all while ramping up the suspense as danger stalked Ella and while the majority of the world building for this series has already been done, Viper added its own block to that world…... or perhaps that should that be MC compound!

Suzanne, I hope the voices in your head keep talking and you never stop writing. You truly are one of the few authors that I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve re-read or re-listened to your books, so much so I could probably recite huge parts of them from memory but somehow every read or listen is like the first time all over again and they always brighten my mood and leave me smiling if not outright laughing.

Having been a fan of this series for a long time I thought Viper and Ella’s story was the perfect progression. I loved all the cameo’s from other characters in the series as it tied the story together perfectly and the portrayal of the relationship between Viper and Ella is perhaps the best in the series for me, as it evoked so much emotion to read everything they had been through and see them pull through it together in the end.

A huge thank you to Netgalley and Little, Brown for the ARC copy in return for my honest review!

Obsessed!!! As always Suzanne Wright has blown me away with this book. I absolute loved it - Viper is definitely the new book boyfriend. Excited to see what comes next.

This story is a mesmerizing blend of romance, supernatural elements, and heart-pounding action that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. The story revolves around Ella, an incantor who uses her powers for good, and Viper, the enigmatic president of the Black Saints' motorcycle club who carries the weight of centuries-old secrets.

From their first electrifying encounter, the sparks between Ella and Viper are undeniable. Wright's descriptive writing brings the world of the Black Saints to life. The stakes are high as old and new enemies threaten to tear Ella and Viper apart, adding layers of excitement and unpredictability to the plot.

This is a book weaves together romance, action, and the supernatural. It is a must-read for fans of paranormal romance. Ella and Viper's story is one of passion, sacrifice, and unbreakable bonds, leaving readers eagerly anticipating what Wright has in store next.

I really loved this book, I’m a massive fan of this author and this was another great book in the Dark in you series. We were introduced to Viper and Ella in previous books and I was pleased that they were given their own book and story, the story was unique but fit in nicely with the rest of the series. New characters were introduced and some of my favourites from previous books made an appearance.

Cant wait until another book is released!

Suzanne has done it again, she had me hooked from the very start and doesn’t let you go. The Dark I you series is my favourite of all her boooks, but I love everything she has written, she has the perfect balance of action, adventure, chemistry, steam, romance, humour and urban fantasy in one neat addictive package. Viper is a wonderful addition to this series and as I’m greedy I as always can’t wait for more. I’m an autobuy auto read fan of Suzanne’s and once you read one of her books you will be too

As always with Suzanne’s Dark In You series, the latest book Viper was absolutely amazing. I love that we finally got Viper and Ella’s story and it did not disappoint. The chemistry and banter between these two was 🥵 and the past lives aspect was a great spin to this story.

Suzanne Wright writes paranormal romance like no other and I thoroughly enjoyed this read!

This is the love story of Ella and Viper who were introduced previously in the series, but in my opinion you don’t actually need to read the series to enjoy and love this book…but I still think you should, as I don’t want you to miss out on a fantastic series and you will appreciate the cameos.

Jumping back into the series for me was like having a night out with your best friends. I knew it was gonna be a good read and Suzanne didn’t disappoint. I couldn’t wait to find out more from this world and there was a surprising amount of new worldbuilding for an established series. I knew I’d be getting paranormal romance with some twists and hot spice. It was a great night of reading, and yes I did stay up all night to read it.

Enjoy!

Thank you to the publisher, author Suzanne Wright and NetGalley for providing me with an advanced reader copy. This is my honest review.

Excellent addition to the author's Dark in You series. Ella and Viper are so hot and steamy together. I love how Ella just gives attitude back to Viper when he wants to take over. She's no shrinking violet...and Viper adores her for it (even as he would like to protect her from his enemies). I like Ella's sister, Mia, and Viper's "brothers" in the MC (note: this is not an MC romance, as this is not your typical MC). I do wish we had more time with the original characters in this series, but I enjoyed when they were there. There's plenty of danger, fighting, bad guys, spells and enchantments, fun, witty banter, and steam to keep me reading past my bedtime. I've actually read this book twice since I received the eARC.
Highly recommend.

Many thanks to Piatkus Publishing and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor or expectation.

Continuing series with new characters this is welcome back for Suzanne loved Viper good characters and sizzling scenes. Was a shame we didn’t see more of the original characters from the series. My only gripe I thought it was a bit to long some unnecessary scenes.

I was lucky enough to receive this book as an ARC. While I love all of Suzanne’s series, the Dark in You is a particular favourite, and I was super excited to read Ella and Viper’s story. Once again, Suzanne has written an amazing book (I read it in one sitting) that pulls the reader in, completely immersing them in this paranormal universe. Viper was an amazing addition to the series, and it was great to officially meet Ella (peripheral character, she’s been mentioned as a friend of Levi’s for some time).

Ella and Viper are a brilliant couple. Fallen angel and a demon (he F E L L for H E R). Viper instantly became one of my favourite MMCs (challenging Levi and Maddox for the role). He’s committed, devoted, obsessive (stalkerish, some might say), protective and possessive – all whilst respecting Ella’s ability to stand up for herself. Ella was brilliant. She was clever and quick, she was patient and understanding – esp. with Viper, she was loyal to a fault. Their relationship was really precious.

The book contained some of my favourite tropes (spoilers!) and I’m really excited to see what comes after this. I’d love to see a book about Luca (my man slayed) but I’m also still hoping for Ciaran’s story (Khloe’s twin, my man’s F I T).

Anchor will accept .
As their relationship progresses he is just waiting for the right moment to reveal their past life but events bring the matter to the fore -
he can no longer wait to reveal his secrets for someone is out to kill both of them - can she accept him as he has become ?
When she finds out that she is pregnant there is no way of hiding their relationship - the Celestials will come for her and her baby , death
their preferred option ,
Viper will do anything to protect them both , even at the expense of his own life ............. he might just be surprised by those willing to
step up and help when he needs it the most

This is a brilliant fantasy read - fast paced with twists and turns aplenty , characters you become invested in and can relate to ,
