Nola Blair is a free-spirited photographer sent to cover the party of the century in Elizabeth Bathory’s ruined castle. It was an assignment she'd declined––twice, but when she was offered a hefty sum to indulge the wealthy eccentric, she finally gave in. Little did she know that the guests at this party were centuries old and their desires reached far beyond those of a normal partygoer.
One captivating night will change her life and the two vampires vying for her will fight to the death to get what they want. One wants her to be his and the other wants her blood.
Who will decide Nola’s fate?
Captivated by Crimson is not your average vampire book. It combines the vampire legend with the history of Elizabeth Bathory and gives it a nice little twist. I’ve been looking forward to this book for quite a while so I am thrilled it is finally out.
The characters are easily loved or hated depending on their role. The only one I was on the fence about was Elizabeth herself because based on this story it almost sounds like she was a victim of sorts. With her being my favorite character from history, I was mildly sympathetic to her anger. Nola was a very strong character. I quite liked her as compared to many other characters I have read lately. She’s very down to earth. Maybe the artist in her makes me like her so much.
As horrible of a person Elizabeth was as well as her sidekick Becca, I have to say, their sense of humor had me dying. Becca was a huge smart ass mainly to Paul and with good reason. He deserved every snarky comment he got.
One thing I enjoyed is how Myers took characters from Greek mythology and used them in a new and exciting way. Her origins story for the vampires is one I’ve not seen before so the originality was greatly appreciated.
The art pieces Nola and Arianna create sound amazing and I wish someone would actually make them in real life. That’s just me being a dork though. I would like to see them in reality lol.
Overall, Captivated by Crimson is a well written, unique and interesting story from an author who has yet to disappoint me. Her other books are great as well and I highly recommend everything she has written.

Thank you so much, Melanie for this great review! I’m so glad you enjoyed Captivated by Crimson. I have to say, I totally agree with you that Erzsebet teetered between wicked and sympathetic which is why she won’t stop talking to me. Who knows, maybe our wicked Countess could decide to give her side of the story. *wink wink* Much love to you and the crew at Fang-Freakin-Tastic Reviews for all your support! I appreciate you all! <3 OXOXO
