This is the third book in The Enclave series but is easily read as a standalone although I'm sure if you read them in order it's a far more satisfying read with character development . I hadn't read anything by this author before but was tempted by the idea of a vampire story that could somehow also include  a submissive alpha male. I thought it would be such an unusual angle that I couldn't resist reading this book. Factor in that the submissive is a vampire and by very nature a predator then it was a must read book for me as that's something so different I had to try it!Eve is alone and running her own club where just about anything goes. She's a unique vampire hybrid who has the ability to appear human and can go out in sunlight but she's hunted so cleverly conceals her true identity. Eves father Kenric runs a band of vampire warriors known as The Enclave and unbeknown to Eve has recently killed her evil murderous mother . Guerino is a trusted friend of Kenric and has undertaken the task of tracking down Eve and finding out once and for all if she's as murderous as her mother . What he hadnt expected was to meet a woman who is his perfect match in every way. She's sexy, demanding and loves to be In charge and there's nothing that turns Guerino on more! Getting off to a shaky start the sparks soon start to fly but those hunting Eve for her blood are catching up. As if that wasn't enough trouble there's also the little fact that Eves mother was killed by Guerinos best friend and there's no way she will take that lying down !I've read a lot of different takes on vampires but I am always keen to find something a little different and unique and this book certainly delivers that! At one point a vampire transformed into a werewolf and unfortunately that didn't really get explained , although it's possible that issue might have been covered In a previous book in the series. What I did like  though was that these vampires are not just bloodthirsty but capable of emotions and relationships.These are quite clearly passionate characters and although I have read a small amount of BDSM stories I still found it difficult to equate the dominant male vampire with submissive tendencies. It's easier to believe that Eve could have dominatrix desires as I could see her innermost predatory tendencies rising. Having said that the sex scenes are quite explosive and very inventive! Clearly the author has a vivid imagination and it certainly shows here . Definitely not a book for those easily shocked .It's an inventive book with lots of twists and turns and a very good plot. I really liked that the author devised new tortures and punishments as it made it feel fresh. Whilst I'm not particularly fond of stories that feature pain I can see that for these two characters it's an essential part of learning to trust in their relationship. So many confrontations and I was beginning to fear there wouldn't be a happy outcome but Ms Lee certainly believes in giving her readers an unforgettable ride!
