'I watched as he comprehended what it was that he saw on my face, in my eyes. And I watched as a part of him shut down, locked away from me forever. And I hid the fact that my heart was breaking even as I lied to him, even as I broke his. And I swore I would never let him know otherwise, or I would truly be lost and the war would be over.'Surviving Paris and the Iunctio has left a jagged mark on Lucinda's soul. Now she must stay under their radar and out of their sights. But that's not all she has to worry about. Lucinda's life is spiralling out of her control. There are those who want to shackle her under the guise of protection and love. If she is to have a chance at fulfilling the Prophesy, she must break free. But, to do that is to cross a line. One she had never thought she would.With her personal world becoming more complicated and her powers growing by the day, Lucinda has to take on even more responsibility. Helping out the Master of Wellington City with an increasingly alarming human vigilante problem. Split between Wellington and Auckland, her kindred and her pull toward the vampire who wears her mark, Lucinda has to dig deep to stay true to the Light within and not give in to the seduction of the Dark.And then, there are the shapeshifters and her best friend Rick. Things are changing, relationships twisting and Lucinda has to face it all while battling to stay in control. Control that she feels is slipping through her fingers as surely as blood drips from an open vein.

Product description

About the Author

Nicola Claire lives in beautiful Taupo, New Zealand with her husband and two young boys. She's tried her hand at being a paramedic, bank teller and medical sales representative, (not all necessarily in that order), but her love of writing keeps calling her back. She has a passion for all things supernatural, spiced up with a good dollop of romance - as long as they include strong characters, alpha males and capable females, and worlds which although make-believe are really quite believable in the end. There's nothing better than getting caught up in a compelling, intriguing and romantic book. When she's not writing or reading, she's out on her family boat at Lake Taupo, teaching her young boys to fish, showing them the beauty that surrounds them in nature and catching some delicious trout for dinner. Kindred has been a joy to write, creating a rich world with dynamic characters and paranormal twists that shock and awe has been pure bliss for this author. And just as well, because there's a lot more story yet to tell...

    5.0 out of 5 stars Love the series!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 August 2013
    Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
    I got the first book of this series because it was free. I have purchased the rest as they are all wonderful and carry on immediately from the previous book. Yes, there is some repetition summarising what has happened so far but only in the 2nd book is it truly obvious and annoying. Either the author puts less and less in as the books go on or she got better and spreading it out so it doesn't feel so in your face.

    The story is not only about vampires (nosferatu), vampire hunters (nosferatin) and their intricate relationship but a book about self-discovery, love, conflict and more.

    The books are beautifully written (even though there are some minor spelling errors and misuse of they're, there, their type words), easy to read and difficult to put down.

    I love the story line of these books but I am so tired of it going over and over the previous books. I understand that this is for new readers, but for those of us following the series perhaps the addition of a, "the story so far chapter" would be better. It's a real shame but I feel myself glazing over when revisiting because it occurs so often.

    The more of this series I read the more I'm getting from it. I like the way this story is developing and each book (instalment) is better than the previous. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series and seeing how it ends.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I absolutely love this series
    Reviewed in the United States on 17 May 2015
    Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
    OMG!!! Such an emotional roller coaster for me. I absolutely love this series. Nicola gives it all to us. Let’s start off by getting rid of the characters that I actually didn’t care for. I am so glad Rick is out of the equations. He was crazy on all levels. I mean how do you go from being my best friend, to trying to actually kill me? I’m so glad he is out of this series. But it will be interesting to see if anything else arises with the pack.

    I am very sad to see some of my favorite characters die. I’m not going to spoil anything, but this one particular mentor was one of my favorites. He brought calm, peace, trust and love to the series. I really fell in Love with him. But I guess things happen for a reason. And Bruno, he was one of my favorites as well.

    Now the prophecy is getting more and more interesting. Every time you turn around there is a new prophecy and it seems like Lucinda is the one that has to carry everything. I don’t know how that’s going to work out, because a person can only carry so much. And of course it’s another power!

    Now I was very disappointed in Lucinda. She made a big mistake with Gregor and I wish they would have never done it. Even though Michel was expecting her to not go through with it, she did. And Michel still understood and forgave her. And with her and Gregor sharing their mark, they will always want some type of chemistry between them two.

    And I still can’t understand what’s holding her back from truly being with Michel. She loves him and he loves her, but she is still holding back. And Michel just says, he will wait for her. Maybe she is holding back because she is tied with Gregor in some way. I guess we shall find out in the upcoming installments.

    There was so much action pack in this installment; there never a dull moment.

    Until Next Time, Happy Reading!

    Luce’s journey is getting not only complicated, but heart wrenching. This book is about loss... deep losses that pull at the emotions and leave both Luce, and the reader, reeling. To move the narrative forward, it has to happen, but one has to wonder: how much can one woman take?

    5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Vampire Series Today!
    Reviewed in the United States on 21 October 2012
    Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
    This series just keeps getting better and better! Forbidden Drink is now my favorite book of the series..There is lots of action fight scenes, tons of sex (and I mean, really hot steamy sex!!), and even moments that will make you cry. This book has it all. It is going on my keeper shelf for sure.
    It continues from the last book and there is some tension between Michel and Lucinda; but that doesen't go on for very long. There are also new characters introduced in this story. Michel call to one of his "made" vampires named Erika to come and train Lucinda with a sword. Erika ends up more her bodyguard though and she made a nice addition to Luce's friend list. She also gains another "sidekick", Amisi who is another Nosferatin from Cairo. Nero brings her to Lucinda to visit and I loved the dynamics between Luce, Erika,and Amisi. There is just so much that goes on in this installment, but I prefer not to write spoilers in my reviews. This book is a must read; but I strongly recommend to read the first two books before you read this one. These books really are best read all together. It is a top of the line series that had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Anyone who loves a good vampire series should read this one for sure. I look forward to the next book and what adventures will come about during the story as it unfolds.

    This one big book is like reading 3 books. Usually I can read a book in a few hours, but this one has so much going on that you just have to slow down and think about what is happening, Once you start you will not stop till the book is done, as there is so much , emotion, details, well thought out action, romance, and just very good writing. This is not just about the 2 main people, but so many others, and you really morn, and feel your heart breaking, when something happens to one of them. This series has also kept to the same high quality of the 1st book of the series. I am now downloading the next book, 4,

    I am in awe of how and where this author comes up with this story. Gotta say I'm living vicariously through Lucindas sex life . Whoa! Also the emotions evoked during the story via the characters I now feel I know at book 3 are incredible.
    To the author: if your sex life is like Lucinda I'm one VERY jealous person. The love behind it is incredible. Once in a lifetime yes? On to the next book. Looking forward to it!
