After a shocking betrayal, Amber Benson was forced to do the unthinkable: drink a potion that will bring shadow souls—the dark forces trying to take over the city—straight to her.
If that wasn’t bad enough, the potion is eating away her sun magic. Poisoning her. Weakening her with each passing day.
Then, there’s Damien. The vampire king who abducted Amber and tricked her into living in his palace in a twisted attempt to make her his bride.
He’s furious with her for drinking the potion.
Unfortunately, they’re going to have to figure out how to work together. Because after the downtown vampires kill humans on Damien’s territory, it means war between the clans. And Amber might be the tool they need to stop the downtown vampires from going totally feral.
On top of all this? The potion’s doing one more thing Amber never expected. It opened a connection between her and the Shadow Lord. He’s appearing in her dreams, and she can’t resist the way he calls to her, mesmerizes her, and toys with her in the one place she should always be safe—her own mind.

A magical journey you won’t forget!
I've been reading Michelle Madow for years and have most of her books on Kindle. I shouldn't be surprised by now, but this book completely took my breath away. I am still trying to process the story. I loved the first book, Vampire Bride, but I loved Poison Sun even more because there was much more action in this book. Every page had me so engrossed in the plot that I lost track of time. After the conclusion to the previous book, I couldn't help but wonder what would happen to Amber next, and how drinking the potion would affect her. I liked the way Madow expressed the characters' feelings; it made me experience them. I hoped Morgan could find a way to help her.
One of my favorite aspects of Michelle Madow's books is the magical world she creates. She does it so wonderfully that it's obvious how much effort and commitment she puts into her writing. I enjoyed that Poison Sun was written from Amber and Morgan's perspective, and although I love Amber, I loved reading from Morgan's perspective; there is a way that she explains everything that you can't help but get captivated in her story. I’m hoping that the next book in the series will have her perspective as well. I understand that Damien is trying to protect Amber, but sometimes I feel that he is too harsh with her. I feel that he might push her away if he keeps doing it.
Even though I sometimes doubt her judgments, I love Amber; she came a long way from the first book. There wasn’t a single page in this book that didn’t keep my attention, I found myself turning the pages, wanting to know what would happen next. I am eager to pick up the next book in series, and see what adventures and challenges await Amber, Damien, Morgan next! I would highly recommend this book to any fantasy fans.
