Dark Secrets Book #3 (Dark Series) by Madeline PryceWow wasn’t sure what to expect but let me tell you, from the moment you start this read you are so captivated you totally lose track of time.  So make sure when you sit down you have nothing else planned.  You Will Not Be Able To Put It Down.  Trust me.The Bond between Ella and Micah was strong or was it, since they didn’t have a choice.  Was their bond strictly lust or was there something deeper, to the soul and to the heart. Both these two struggle to keep their dark sides down, but with so much thrown at them is it really possible.  When a secret Micah has been holding back from Ella comes to the fore front will this destroy them?When Castro lets the cat out of the bag regarding Micah’s mother and her whereabouts the crap hits the fan.  The look in Ella’s eyes tells Micah how hurt and betrayed she feels.  With so many emotions running rampant the situation becomes volatile.  With Ella questioning Micah’s faithfulness, the upcoming trial, the coronation dinner Ella has to attend with her Sire and Ex-Lover Julian without Micah, her Uncle Roy having a heart attack and Micah nowhere around to comfort her.  And of course Julian’s reminder that he’s there for her and Micah is not. Just seems like everything is coming to a head and explodes out.When Ella is introduced as the “Queen of the Vampires” on the Arm of Julian (an arrangement agreed upon by Micah to save Ella’s life) the turn of events are unbelievable.  Julian made a deal with Richard McGregor (the devil himself LOL) and is given the Laminas Animarum “Blade of Souls” to use on Ella to force her by his side and away from Micah, but it backfires and boy does it ever.  While reading the scenes that follow, your emotions are all over the place.  When Micah feels the death strike and the bond break between he and Ella you will feel every bit of pain he does.Does Ella get her soul back?  With the bond broken is there still a connection between Micah and Ella?  Not telling.  Will the prophecy come to fruition? Oh yes and one twist I so didn’t see coming, Julian appears at the trial and what he does (as much as I hated him) was amazing and puts a different light on everything. Madeline did not disappoint where the sex scenes were concerned.  OMG the bathroom/shower scene, the various bedroom scenes are passionate and hot.  And we can’t forget the devil himself Richard McGregor oh does he so get his.  5* and what’s the title for the next book?
