Crimson Flames Review



The follow up to Crimson Groves, Crimson Flames was just as great! About the book:

Half-vampire Abby Tate is determined to learn more about the sorceress powers that were awakened inside her when she was turned into a vampire—making her a whole new hybrid species. There’s a group of rogue vamps banding together and forming a Resistance against the vampire governing body, The Head Council, and Abby’s newly discovered powers are the key to the Council’s victory. Now the Resistance will do anything possible to remove the hybrid threat, and with no other options, Abby is forced to rely on the aid of the Council, yet can she trust the very vampires that hunt for her human lover? And even worse, can she fight the unwelcome attraction that’s growing between her and one of those ancient vampire rulers?

My review is definitely late and it makes me feel so guilty not to have had it up sooner. With everything going on right now in my life things got even worse when my tire popped Saturday on my way home from work. Not a cheap fix, so I have been trying to get that taken care of as well as do some reviews for you all.
I really loves Abby's character. Many of you may be saying, yeah another vampire book, but it so isn't. Abby was turned into a vampire and then kidnapped and help captive by Bronx in the prequel to this book. Bronx turns out to be different than what he seems.  Abby has no idea that her mother was a vampire and also a sorceress. Abby is now starting to own her powers in this book more and figure out who she is and how powerful she can become.


Abby is very confused of what to do when it comes to Tyler, who is a human that she met in the first book.  She feels like he can be trusted even though he has betrayed her in the past.  Is love making her blind to what he really is like, however? She wants to prove his innocence.  Abby has to finally realize that Tyler is nothing but a liar and let him go. He reveals some secrets to her and it makes her so mad that she just wants to kill him then and there even though she is in love with him. Abby then meets back up with Trace and is surprised when she feels attracted to him when she goes to stay at the council. Trace lets her know that he does in fact want her back. He gives her her space which is nice and it is personally something that I think is even more attractive in a male. When he can trust you to do what you need to do and still come back to you without smothering you, you know that the love is truly there and always will be.


Towards the end Elliot helps Abby to get connected with her mother. Her mother is trying to help Abby improve on her skills and also allows her to know that she knows who is trying to kill Abby.


This book is amazing and has everything in it that someone would want out of a paranormal. It has love and conflict which tugs at the heart. I love a good paranormal book. They lead my imagination somewhere that it never would have gone before!
