The Scarlet Deep
Elemental World #3
Elizabeth Hunter
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Suspense
Publication Date: July 7, 2015
On the waves of the North Atlantic, a poison spreads, sapping the life from humans and striking madness into immortals.
Patrick Murphy, the immortal leader of Dublin, has been trying to stem the tide of Elixir washing into his territory, but nothing seems to stop the vampire drug. While others in the immortal world work to cure the creeping insanity that Elixir threatens, Murphy has been invited to London to join a summit of leaders hoping to discover who is shipping the drug. If Murphy and his allies can cut off the supply, they might be able to halt the spread long enough for a treatment to be found for the humans and vampires infected.
Anne O’Dea, Murphy’s former lover, retreated from public life over one hundred years ago to help immortals in need… and to heal her own broken heart. Though powerful connections keep her insulated from the violence of vampire politics, even Anne is starting to feel the effects of Elixir on her isolated world. The human blood supply has been tainted, and with Anne’s unique needs, even those closest to her might be in danger. Not just from infection, but Anne’s escalating bloodlust.
When Anne and Murphy are both called to London, they’re forced to confront a connection as immortal as they are. As they search for a traitor among allies, they must also come to terms with their past. Behind the safe facade of politics, old hungers still burn, even as an ancient power threatens the fate of the Elemental World.
It is no mystery that I love Elizabeth Hunter’s writing. She weaves world of paranormal intrigue with the skill of the greatest authors in the land. Her characters are witty, intelligent, and authentic. They are full of life and vibrancy. Couple those attributes with a world full of mystery and fantastical circumstance, well you have yourself a book and series that becomes addicting. Anne and Murphy’s story was nothing short of fantastic, taking the reader a bit deeper into the Element World and giving us more of a mystery to ponder.
The Scarlet Deep is the perfect third installment to the Elemental World series. We see cameos of characters featured before in this series and I loved seeing my favorites work along side my new favorites. Anne and Murphy’s characters are brilliant. Murphy has been seen in glimpses throughout the entire series and I was so excited to finally learn more about him. Something about his personalty was always alluring and now I understand the full extent of that allure. Anne is a strong and capable female lead. She is determined, kind, and fresh. When you add in the fact that these two are vampires, the sky is the limit as to what Elizabeth will share with the world next.
One thing I loved about this book (and all of Hunter’s stories) is that there is a well developed romance but SO much more. The romance between Anne and Murphy is a beautiful story of second chances and the choices of two lovers to set aside their desires and ambitions. These two are better together than they are apart. They inspire and spur one another to better things and that makes them a fresh and wonderful couple. These two are full of passion, desire, and love. Their interactions are full of intent. I loved watching them both learn to love what each other has become and respect the change that the past 100 years has had on them individually. They are each a force to be reckoned with separately but together, they have the power to influence Dublin, and the vampire world as a whole, in a powerful way.
The mystery aspect of this story is something that has carried on throughout most of the Elemental books. The Elixir, a potion that kills vampires and humans alike, is running rampant throughout Europe and beyond. It is up to the leaders in the vampire world to find a solution and cut off the head of the beast. There are many new players introduced and many new nations. I was excited to meet new leaders and learn more about faces we had breifly met in the past books of the series. The development of the Elixir problem is well paced and exciting. We see the danger surrounding this issue first hand. There is death, both violent and painfully slow, associated with this drug. It is something people will kill for. Watching Murphy and Anne attempt to solve this problem added another element of depth to their characters. They are intelligent and shrewd, seeing things in a new light and fighting for answers.
There is so much goodness in this story that I could spends hundreds of words and countless hours raving over this book. Elizabeth Hunter keeps adding more jewels to her Paranormal Queen crown and I happily wait on bated breath for more. This story has a beautiful ebb and flow, a love story that is timeless, and a mystery that will leave you wanting more. I am excited for more of this series and to see who is featured next!
