Code Name: Vulture (The Order of the Condor Series Book 1) by Maya Daniels and Sylvia Black – Review by Beth McKitrick

Code Name: Vulture: Dark Vampire Romance by Maya Daniels
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you’re like me – someone who enjoys fantasy/sci-fi with a bit of steamy romance – you’ve probably read one or two (or a few) “fated mate” type books. So when I saw fated mates in the description, as well as lycans, vampires, etc., I expected the book to be on par with the others I’ve read. This is not the case. Most of those books tend to be pretty light and fluffy on the writing itself, with fairly shallow descriptions, characters, world-building, etc., and pretty heavy on the smut. This book however, has beautiful, descriptive writing, with complex characters who develop throughout the book. It is absolutely on another level from other books in the same genre. While it does have s*x scenes, they don’t make up the majority of the book like others tend to; instead there is a slow build up, that pays off later in the book. I would describe it as a story-centric book that has romance and more built in. That being said, if you are someone who enjoyed Fifty Shades of Grey, there are similar themes hinted at here that I suspect will come into play later in the series. Overall I did enjoy the book and I look forward to reading the rest of the series!
