Discovery of the Vampire

Deathless Night - Into the Dark #4

by L.E. Wilson

My past was a cage. My freedom was a lie. And she… she is my reckoning.

All I ever wanted was to reclaim what the cult stole from me.
Freedom.
On stage at The Purple Fang, bathed in neon and sin, I ruled. Every gaze belonged to me. Every moment, mine to control. No one commanded me.
Until her.
With a single glance, Esme Ramirez shattered the illusion. The stunning bruja saw through my stage persona, through the armor I’d built, and straight to the monster beneath.
Vampire.
She should have run. Instead, she demanded my help. Revenge against the creature that slaughtered her family.
I should have said no.
But I didn’t.
Because the moment I got too close, I knew the truth.
Esme is MINE.
Now, protecting my fated mate is the only thing that matters. And I will kill anyone who dares to threaten her.
Even if the greatest threat… is me.

About the author

L.E. Wilson writes Paranormal Romance starring intense alpha males and the women who are fearless enough to tame them—for the most part anyway. ;) In her novels you'll find smoking hot scenes, a touch of suspense, a bit of gore, and multifaceted characters, all working together to combine her lifelong obsession with the paranormal and her love of romance.

Her writing career came about the usual way: on a dare from her loving husband. Little did they know just one casual suggestion would open a box of worms (or words as the case may be) that would forever change their lives.

Lattes and music are a necessary part of her writing process, and sometimes you'll find her typing away at her favorite Starbucks. She walks two miles to get there, to make up for all of those coffees.

There is so much right about this book, it has comedy it has love and banter and spicy scenes. L.E. Wilson does a great job making unforgettable stories for each character arc and ties it into the main storyline so well. I whole heartedly recommend reading this book along with all of her other books in the Deathless Night Series.

Engaging Vampire Romance with Great Banter

This vampire romance was a genuinely enjoyable read. The characters are very well developed, and the story arc grows in a smooth, natural way that keeps you engaged from start to finish. I especially liked how seamlessly it ties into the larger series without ever feeling overloaded—a charming continuation that still stands strong on its own.

The banter between the characters is delightful and adds a lot of warmth and personality to the story. The romance itself unfolds at a believable pace, giving the relationship room to breathe and feel authentic.

Overall, it’s a well-crafted, entertaining read that’s absolutely worth giving a go if you enjoy smart character dynamics and steady, satisfying romantic development.

Per thecauthor: 'Discovery of the Vampire, book 4 in the Deathless Night-Into the Dark series, is a spicy, angsty, paranormal romance that can be read as a standalone.' And that sums it up perfectly. ;)

The plot was intriguing, exciting and deliciously steamy. World building was excellent and impressive. The characters were so very well written and complex and compelling and obsessively hawt together. Overall a FANtastic story! Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.

Grab a copy, kick back and enjoy!.

Discovery of the Vampire

Wowza!! This book was non stop intensity, especially when Marcus was on page. Now that he’s a huge part of the storyline, you’re constantly waiting for the next shoe to drop. Like what’s he going to do next? And what he did to Esme was heartbreaking and hard to read. Poor Brogan - it was heart wrenching to read about his pain as he had to watch what Marcus did to Esme - more to the point, feel what he did to her through their blood bond. I am hoping beyond hope that the witches, vampires and djinn/witch couples can take care of Marcus soon because I hate what he’s doing to everyone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Secrets, Magic and Entertaining.

The storyline takes you through so many emotions of hate, revenge, determination, on the edge suspense, twists and turns, danger, so many high and lows and most of all, pure eternal love.

It’s a gripping book with on-the-edge tension that you won’t be able to put down and although this couple get their HEA and the steamy moments are super-hot, the overall story continues.

Bring me more of this series, absolutely addictive read!.

Same and Brogan’s story continues the vampire and witches trial against the djinn who has tried to abduct and or kill them to what end no one is quite sure. But he is brutal and is not playing games. But through it all Esme and Brogan meet, fall in lust, then the mate bond snaps into place. None of that keeps them safe ! Love this series and this book is no different ! It keeps me coming back for more. 5✨’s

Esme & Brogan’s story is here and boy is it gooooood! A well paced, fantasy read with magic, vampires, fated mates and witches that has you hooked from the very beginning! There is tons going on as our fated pair meet and the author does a fantastic job drawing you in and holding you on the edge of your seat. Drama, danger, love, banter and twists and turns to keep you spinning, I thoroughly enjoyed this from start to finish!

[Amber Novak · Rating 4 out of 5]

Discovery of the Vampire is book 4 in the Deathless Night - Into the Dark series and my favorite so far! Brogan is so much more than what he portrays to the outside world, and Esme is his perfect match - seeing through his persona to who he really is. Plenty of excitement, the perfect amount of action, a little suspense, high heat, and a HEA make this a fantastic entry in the series.

Wow ,Brogan and Esme !!

These books just get more interesting every single book. The djinn that’s been tormenting everyone has escalated things to the point it’s getting really concerning,REALLY concerning!! I’m definitely continuing on to book 5 as I must know what happens now. These books are really good , definitely worth getting but read them from the start so you have the full story.

Very good story. A woman looking for someplace that was safe. A man not looking for anything except to survive. Feeling something not sure what but seeing a set of green eyes looking back at her. Not being able to forget about them. A good start to history, right? Some of the things they went through is unbelievable. An exciting story.

A human woman and a male vampire!

A human woman on the run from Mexico finds herself in New Orleans. She is a witch whose family practices blood magic. She goes to a nightclub that is ran by vampires and offers male vampires stripping for the ladies. You will have to read the book to find out what happens to everyone. Happy reading!

Brogan and Esme's story was thrilling and seductive right from the very first page, keeping me engaged until the end! As usual, I couldn't put it down. Definitely a must read if you're looking for something to sink your teeth into.

[Rebecca Stigers · Rating 5 out of 5]

I want a Brogan for myself! Troubled but what vampire isn't! Esme has her demons but together they make a force to be reckoned with! Such a love story! Loved all the characters and can't wait for the next one to come out!!

[Loretta Howard · Rating 5 out of 5]

From the very beginning of this new Deathless Night - Into the Dark series I have been impatiently waiting for Brogan’s story. And L. E. Wilson did not disappoint! Wow! Such a fun read and I loved Esme/Brogan so very much! Excuse me, now I’ll just be curled up in a ball waiting for the next book.
