Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book. I would estimate the majority of the book focused on the relationship blooming between Viktor and Waverly. Then the ending rolled with supernatural speed and focus and was the best part of the book. Reasons I enjoyed this book: Action-packed Easy-to-read Romantic Steamy Unpredictable

4.5 stars— VIKTOR is the eleventh instalment in Kym Grosso’s contemporary adult IMMORTALS OF NEW ORLEANS erotic, paranormal romance series. This is ancient vampire Viktor Christianson, and museum curator Waverly LaFleur’s story line. VIKTOR can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous storyline is revealed where necessary but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion as the story line references a number of past events. WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers. Told from dual third person perspectives (Viktor and Waverly) VIKTOR follows the building romance and relationship between ancient vampire Viktor Christianson, and museum curator Waverly LaFleur. When her best friend Teagan goes missing, Waverly started searching the local supernatural clubs where she would come face to face with Viktor Christianson but Waverly doesn’t do the paranormal like her roommate Teagan, including the man with whom she will fall in love. When an anonymous donor offers up a priceless piece of art for the museum’s fund raiser, Waverly, once again, comes face to with Viktor Christianson, and will quickly discover that the piece of art offered hides another artifact once thought long lost and buried. As Viktor and Waverly begin a search for the original owner, Viktor comes to realize that his past may have resurfaced, and has taken aim at our story line heroine. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Viktor and Waverly, and the potential fall-out as the underworld is struggling to hold onto one of its’ own. Viktor Christianson has been alone most of his life having suffered horrendously at the hands of his vampire sire but meeting Waverly LaFleur stirs something deep within our story line hero, something Viktor never thought possible in the face of the abuse and evil he has endured. Waverly LaFleur is adamant about not getting involved in the supernatural community but her attraction to Viktor is stronger than her ability to stay uninvolved but as Waverly and Viktor begin their search for the who, what, and why, Waverly slowly falls for the man that will claim her body and soul. The relationship between Viktor and Waverly is that of fated mates. Viktor never thought he would find his bond-mate but something about Waverly draws Viktor like a moth to a flame. Viktor is unable to walk away, and their palpable sexual attraction does not go unnoticed by Viktor’s supernatural family. Refusing to claim Waverly without her consent, Viktor bides his time, time that may be Viktor and Waverly’s ultimate betrayal. The $ex scene are intimate, erotic and intense. There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and familiar secondary and supporting characters including Viktor’s brother Greyson; Viktor’s hybrid ‘child’ Rafe; as well as Quintus, Sebastian, and Ilsbeth, and Waverly’s former college friend Adam. The requisite evil has many faces. VIKTOR is a complex and detailed story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, family, friendships, relationships and love. The premise is powerful and captivating; the romance is seductive and intense; the characters are energetic, dynamic, and edgy.
