Dynasty of Blood Saga #2
Claimed by Darkness
Two forces destroy the world—Power and Greed. Vampires crave both.
Supernatural forces have controlled this world since the beginning of history. Insatiable, they rule it from the shadows, and now, I’m certain of only two things…
One—I fell in love with a Vampire. Dariah… A woman more dangerous than anything I’ve ever uncovered. Two months after I last saw her, and free from the hypnotic effect of her feeding, I thought that was the end for us, but fate has other plans.
Two—I have a Vampire Ancient in my secret lab. One imprisoned thousands of years ago and left to desiccate in a cave for eternity. He was put there for a reason, but even as my friends beg me to let it go, there is something inside me that wants to awake him.
Kidnaped by someone I trust, I’ll discover Vampires have been in my life for longer than I imagined. The worst part is, the four dynasties are trying to kill me, and I dragged Zoe and Alfie into this mess.
I know what I did to deserve this, but one question remains… Will I survive it?

Definitely better, which is weird considering the MCs were separated almost the whole book, but I guess that can be explained by her having more chemistry with the side characters than the hero. She also hardly grieved for Liam too, and I was expecting something more out of that. Also, all the "fatherly kissing" and just everyone kissing everyone and everyone being totally fine with it, is weird AF. I mean, sure the vamps might be fine with it, but the heroine is constantly kissing the two OM, even in front of the hero, and the hero doesn't even react to it. And lastly, this book is in serious need of editing. Tons of grammar and spelling issues. They didn't hinder my reading necessarily, but they were still pretty annoying amd made some sentences disjointed.

Another great read by Stephanie
So far I haven't read a bad book from Step. Yes it took me a few to get into this series only because it wasn't what I expected from Step. Once I kept reading I really enjoyed it. Would I recommend this book. Um hell yes. The reason I gave it a 5 star rating is because it deserves it. Hope you plan on having the next book soon. We are all going to impatiently waiting lol.

Claimed By Darkness is a Spellbinding N Seductive descent into the mysterious world of the Vampire!
Stephany Wallace expertly weaves an intoxicating blend of Supernatural fantasy, heart pounding drama N sinfully sexy romance, paired with pitch-perfect plotting to ensnare readers from the first page. Vampire lovers will devour this masterfully written next chapter in The Dynasty of Blood Saga!
I love Dariah N Mathew so much can't get enough of their smoldering hotness N cheeky banter! Not to mention the new characters we meet in this book I want them all to get stories of their own especially Zoe she is Flippin' awesome! This always happens when I read one of Stephany Wallace's books because her side characters are just as intriguing as her main characters U can't help but want to know more about them!
The ending is one of the most epic cliffhangers I have ever read it only makes U crave the next book more!
5 Sizzling Hot Stars all the way! 💋💋

This is the second book in Dynasty of Blood series and it was fantastic. This is a urban fantasy/paranormal romance about ancient vampires divided into four different dynasties and our main female character Dariah is a pawn in the middle of their war. With unexpected twists and turns along the way Dariah, Mathew and Antonie race to stay a step ahead of the dynasties. This book has a great story, is action packed, sexy, laugh out loud funny and is full of awesome characters. An excellent read I highly recommend it and can’t wait to read the next book in the series Changed by Darkness!

We continue to put more pieces of the puzzle together and our characters we love fight for their lives! But do they all win? Find out and read for yourself!

So much better than the 1st book
I had my doubts regarding this series, since the 1st book was bland in the beginning. But as I started reading this book, I realized that I was going to love this storyline and I was not disappointed!

This book is amazingly exciting to read. Claimed by Darkness is the 2nd book in the Dynasty of Blood Saga. It picks up after Book 1 with Zoe, Alphie (short for Alfred) talking about there "special guest" that they found on there last dig in Cairo.
The main Character is Dariah who is an Ancient Vampire with a guardian that is a Gargoil named Ivus.
Then there is Matthew.. ( the Sexy Nerd Professor .. a nickname he got from Dariah in Book 1)
The excitement continues to build as secrets are revealed. I really loved reading this book because it gives more description of the main character and her dreams that she was having in book 1.
I can't wait to see what the author has planned for our friends in the next book.

This is the follow-up to book 2 and My OH MY, it did not disappoint! All you want to do is lock yourself up somewhere to read. This paranormal/ fantasy has action and sweet blissful romance. The story is so interesting with outcomes that you just didn’t see it coming.
War is brewing between the Dynasty Clans and Mathew, Antoine and Dariah are all connected to it in their own way, with Ivas there helping Dariah (how I wish I had an “Ivas” of my own, lol). Mathew’s excavation and discovering could be the end or is it the beginning of something else? Oh the questions and scenario that run through your mind are endless whilst reading.
Be warned, the ending is nail-biting. Fantastic Book!!!! I can’t wait to read book 3 to find out how it all plays out.

So much is happening in this amazing book, “Claimed by Darkness”. Author Stephany Wallace is keeping us readers on our toes. It’s told by three POVs, Mathew, Dariah, and Antoine. I love these views as it gives the reader so much more information into all areas of the stories. I enjoyed reading more about the different Dynasties and the war that could possibly happen. Of course this book ends in a cliff hanger but it’s so worth to read now. I’m very much looking forward to the next book, especially to see if my suspicions are correct.

Dariah is still being hunted by all the dynasties Ancients! And she's running against time to save the ones she loves! Will she be able to save Matthew and Liam or will she be too late? Antoine looks for Dariah and tries to help her when he finally finds her. She knows that she needs help but is she willing to risk Antoine's life? I love this series so far for being something different than what I'm use to reading. I would suggest reading this series to anyone looking for something different to read.
August 23, 2019
Welcome to the second amazing book of Dariah and Matthew, it's so dang good I didn't want to put it down I ❤️ Dariah she is so strong and she has such a strong love when it comes to Matthew even though she doesn't want to admit it, until her talk with Liam 😉!
This book has so many twists and turns, you didn't know what was going to happen I was on the edge of my chair, there was Parts where I wanted to yell at the book and where I needed kleenexes it really pulled at my Heartstrings 😢❤️!
I'm looking forward to book 3 Stephany did a fantastic job!

What an amazing book! Stephany Wallace didn't disappoint with the 2nd book of the Dynasty of Blood Saga!
The series continues to get better and better, with more twists and turns that definitely keeps you on your toes. With three different POV's from Mathew, Dariah and Antoine. We learn a little more about Daria's past, which instead of lessening the questions we have, but keeps adding to them! The interactions between Mathew and Dariah keeps getting hotter and hotter!
A definite must read! I can't wait to see what's next as the suspense has me hooked!

Claimed by Darkness (Dynasty of Blood Saga Book 1)
Another excellent book as was the first one. I hope stephany writes fast so she can finish book 3.
This is really different from the usual vampire books with the ancients being able to fly and do all kinds of supernatural abilities making each book really special. I really have enjoyed this series so far and I am sure the next one will be just as good. I can’t wait to see what happens between Darius and Matthew.
Keep writing, please. Your books are unputdownable. I know that isn’t a real word but it works!!! LOL

This book was just as good as the first one. I love Daria and Matthew. I was on the edge of my seat for most of it. In true Stephany Wallace fashion we have to wait for more in the series to continue. I can't wait for more. Warning: this is definitely a series to be read together. And I can guarantee I pick up book three.
August 26, 2019
More please!!! ❤️
The one thing I love about reading is how a book captivates me and this book did precisely that. I was whisked away on an adventure just like an Indiana Jones movie. It was very entertaining. I loved the characters as well as the chemistry that flows between them. I laughed and I cried. Loved it and I am anxiously waiting for the next book in the series.

Stephany Wallace did it again! Another great read and keeps you begging for more. the story of Dariah, Mathew, and Antoine is continued with Dariah trying to forget Mathew, and Antoine trying to help Dariah figure out why all four Dynasties of the Vampires are after her and Mathew. Dariah isn't the only one hiding secrets as we find out about Mathew though. Book 3 cannot come soon enough!!!
August 23, 2019
Wow.. I absolutely loved this. And that ending I mean amazing i really need the 3rd book now... there were twists and turn that you just don’t see coming the storyline didn’t disappoint. Roll on book 3 now..
August 16, 2019
SUSPENSEFUL! That is one word they don't have on here to describe this book! I loved the first one and the second is magnificent. There is never a dull moment in this book. Ms. Wallace delivers again.
Officially crown her...Queen of the CLIFFHANGERS! UGH WOMAN!!

I for one didn’t mind the ending of this book; some are calling it a cliffhanger but this is Stephany and it’s not the last book of the series. The book itself is full of action and twists that you won’t believe so strap in and get ready to dive deeper into the world of Vampiri
August 17, 2019
Intrigue, drama and revenge.
Matthew is getting in deeper and deeper with Dariah and bringing others with him.
Dariah's out for revenge and is going after everyone involved.
I can't wait to see what happens next!

What a rush!! Dariah and Mathew are so cute as they go through trying not to love each other. Very action packed! I enjoyed learning so much more about the other vampire dynasties too as the plot gets better and Dariah starts to find her place.
August 19, 2019
I am loving this series! Well written I was just as hooked with this book as I was with book 1! Great storyline, great characters, Twists and turns, suspense, action and that ending, well!! Bring on book 3!!
August 20, 2019
I really enjoyed reading this book. There are more unexpected turns for the journey with Dariah and Matthew, and I strongly recommend this book for fans of sexy vampires and nerdy professorial types everywhere. I can't wait to dig into the next book in this stunning series!
August 21, 2019
There is something bigger going on in this series that is about to be unfold. I loved knowing more about the dynasties and what they're capable of. Dariah sure surprised me with some things she did, as well as Mathew. Like, you sure this is tha same professor?
Til' the next Adventure !

Yasss!
I’ve been claimed and not sure that I’ll ever be the same! This series is addictive and captivating! I love all of the alternating POVs and the story. I can’t wait to see what happens next, I’m waiting on pins and needles for book 3 and go know where the story goes.
