Cathedral (Cradle of Darkness Book Two): A Vampire Dark Romance

This a dark romance not for the faint of heart. I would say this is one of Addison Cain's tammer books. Although the series is dark, Cathedral has more romance than expected compared to Addison Cain's other series. Be sure to read Bite Me and Catacombs before this book as there is alot of background information you will need. Overall this is an enjoyable read for those of us that like dark romance.

This was the continuation of Jade and Malcolm's story that we originally started in an earlier anthology. This is that story from there repeated for clarity and flow and then it continues on to its conclusion which I was defiantly more than ready for. So it’s the full book rather than the taster we were originally given. This is dark and brutal and brutal and everything else you have come to expect from this particular author. A riveting page-turner of a read than I inhaled in one complete sitting. Darius was again the sadistic father of the year we have come to expect from our previous interactions with him, while Malcolm seemingly the king's right-hand vampire works behind the scenes protecting his beloved Jade. Despite appearances to the contrary for him, she is what is important. I really liked where this went and it was a satisfying conclusion for all involved. Reading Catacombs the short story set in this world is not essential but will definitely enhance the whole experience giving you the insight to catch small nuances delivered here that you oversize might miss and also understand the back story itself. This is definitely not going to be a story for everyone it's not pretty and certainly doesn't pull its punches in terms of its dark content but if you have read this author previously you will have an idea what you're in store for. A dark vampire romance with some serious bite. I voluntary reviewed a copy of Cathedral.

After I started this darkly chilling read I was firmly in Jade's corner. Let's face it Darius( Jade's father) has made her life a torturous nightmare that could drive anyone over the edge. Malcolm his second seemed to be continuing on with this agenda but in reality he was taking care of her in the only way he could. The characters in this story are vampires( not the good guys) so you won't get warm fuzzy cuddly scenes but you will get grippingly brutal scenes that are so intense that they leave you thirsting for more. Cathedral was a multi layered story that kept on surprising this reader until the end.
