Imagine a famed vampire huntress with a taste for death, so successful not a single vampire has ever managed to escape her wooden stakes or evade her silver knives. Her name is Violetta, and all that is about to change.

Monsieur Martinet, vampire extraordinaire, is a master of his kind and can exert the kind of control over humans that Violetta has never seen before. He is a powerful force. He may well be unstoppable. And that's going to be a problem, because Violetta has killed every single one of Martinet's monstrous family - and he has a score to settle.

He's going to abduct her, imprison her, and then tie her down until she begs for mercy. And that's only the beginning...

Christina Mandara is a USA TODAY bestselling author and tends to write dark romance with lashings of kinky naughtiness. Her favourite pastime is travelling, and if it involves sun, sea and… sand then it’s all good.

In her spare time she’s usually cuddled up with a good book, exploring the countryside or baking in the kitchen. In fact, she loves her kitchen so much she’s one of few women who wouldn’t mind being tied to it! Her first and foremost love is writing, however, and more often than not you’ll find her on a laptop spinning tales of romance, erotica or dark, paranormal fantasies.

She's a big fan of BDSM in all of its glorious forms, and her favourite item in the toy closet (a box simply isn’t big enough) is her riding crop.

4.0 out of 5 stars I hope Violetta and Martinet enjoy some kinkery together
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2017

Violetta is a huntress of vampires. After a long search and the slaughter of many vampires, she finally finds the elusive master vampire at a masked ball in Venice. Determined to complete her mission, she armed and ready for the biggest challenge of her life.

Monsieur Martinet is an old one and has been waiting to mete out his revenge upon the human who has taken so many of his sired children. After laying eyes upon Violetta, he is intrigued by her beauty which will makes playing with her even more delicious.

Violetta is feisty and not about to surrender but Martinet has the power to manipulate and the patience to hold the reigns for as long as it takes.

Desiring Death is a sexy read with witty banter between Violetta and Martinet. With the author’s effortless narrative, she sets an erotic tone for two characters that are fighting their attraction to each other. While some parts felt a little slow to me, overall this book focuses on the chase and offers hints as to what may be in store for future books in the series. I hope Violetta and Martinet enjoy some kinkery together!

4.0 out of 5 stars An Adult Twist with Depth

I'm usually not a fan of "Stockholm" style romance books but I gave this one a try and really enjoyed it. Definitely an adult read but there is enough story line and plot. Violetta comes across as strong willed and fierce but needed some real back story. Martinet had some good build up a good back story but seemed just a bit overpowered -The only danger he faces is from himself.....

I love this book. This is probably the third time I've read it. Only bad thing thing is there's no followup book so far. I love everything about this book and I really hope the author finishes this story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced read
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2015
Desiring Death was a bit different than I expected. It was a very dark paranormal erotic. Violetta is a vampire hunter until she becomes the hunted. Martinet is suppose to be who she hunted but he has revenge on his mind and Violetta is going to satisfy it. This is a cat and mouse kind of book with erotic dark scenes. The timeline had me confused a bit but once I got the hang of how it went I was good to go. C.P. Mandara is fantastic at building anticipation and is great at telling a story.

This book has dark violent scenes and is not for the faint of heart. Martinet is intent on revenge and his brand of revenge is Violetta's kind of Hell.

**I was given a copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for my honest and fair review

5.0 out of 5 stars He reminds me of Christian Grey from 50 Shades
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2015
Desiring Death is one slick, entertaining novel with some serious twisted web of intrigue and excitement with a dark, erotic undertone. I admire the work of C. P. Mandara after reading her internet phenomenon novel "The Riding School." She writes similar to E. L. James, able to twist and turn your insides deliciously and a little like Stephenie Meyer, with that softer, warmer touch of mystery and romance. "Desiring Death" joins the ranks of great novels written by this exciting indie author who never fails to deliver.

Violetta and Monsieur Martinet's story is one for the history books. A tale so compelling, well written and powerful it will simply blow you away.
Violetta is no average huntresss, she is top-notch vampie slayer with an impeccable track record and an uncanny accuracy when she goes on the hunt. She is skilled, beauitful and a temptress, while Monsieur Martinet is the handsome supernatural being destined to have your knees weak and when Violetta kills his entire family he broils with an insatiable lust for vengance and well... umm... something else!!!

These two were fated to meet in a legendary showdown and only one should remain standing but our vampie boy has other plans, while read I wondered if he was related to Christian Grey from 50 Shades, because these two men are very similar in there scorching, erotic desires (no spoilers!).

Read for yourself, this electrifying book is worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enthralling!
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2016
I love a dark, edgy story and this one hits all the high notes. The first book whetted my appetite for more, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Desiring Death. I had to find out what happens to Vampire Killer, Violetta. No vampire had ever escaped her. Until now. She finds herself under the control of Monsieur Martinet, a vampire. The heat between these two burns up the pages. But the story offers so much more. A good plot, emotion, and suspense. Enthralling! This one is a must read!

5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping tale, sensually written.
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2015
In the second book in the Evading Death series, the author, C.P. Mandara seduces you into a world of high drama, where vengeance and passion work their magic on the characters, pulling them in opposite directions and bringing them together in ways that are more powerful then they themselves imagined. The enmity between Violetta and Monsieur Martinet is a bitter one, yet both vampires find themselves in the inescapable grip of desire.

A gripping tale, sensually written. You will find yourself engaged immediately from the start: “Her lungs were burning. There was a tight knot in her chest that threatened to explode… She had been given a chance to run and she intended to make full use of it. He would pursue her, of that she had no doubt.”

Five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars HOT!
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2015
aving devoured book 1, Dancing With Death, at an alarming rate, I was thrilled to discover what was about to happen Violetta next.

We had left her under the complete control of M. Martinet (lucky girl!) and she was only just realising it! The fast paced action is Red Hot! This is no book for those that don't like their sex steamy...Get your fans out girls, Mr. Grey move over!

However the book isn't all about the sex. The characters have great depth and I liked the way the story of their differing pasts was pulled out by the author. Great pace of writing too with enough 'other' action and suspense to make the story of this battle of love and hate, distrust and desire, a really good read.
