Deviate Me by Daphne Thorne
Tangled in Blood Ties Book 1
Paranormal Dark MMM Romance
Release: May 27, 2026
Killien
I’m in trouble. Since we were turned into vampires, I can’t stop feeling Damien’s allure. His presence seems to call for my most primal instincts, and it’s so damn hard to resist… The whole thing is a mess since our maker just took off without a warning, leaving us to fend for ourselves. At least our friend, Jacob, can guide us through it all. Wellāhe’s more than a friend for Damien, which I’m not very comfortable with. Especially because I shouldn’t be feeling any of this to begin with; Damien is my stepbrother.
Damien
I have a plan to finally get Killien to melt into my arms. Who cares that we’re stepbrothers? Now that I’m a bloodsucker, I don’t give a damn anymore. It didn’t stop me from falling for him years ago, anyway. There’s a little problem, though: Jacob. He’s definitely into me, and I can’t help but seduce him. I mean, he’s hot as hell. Old habits die hard, I guess. Living at the mercy of my own impulses is all I know. However, I do wonder if I can even win the game I’m playing.
Deviate Me is book 1 in the Tangled in Blood Ties series. It explores the beginning of an MMM vampire dark romance in an urban fantasy setting, with forbidden elements, a lot of tension, blood, and spice. Expect forbidden romance (between stepbrothers), the start of an age gap relationship, a love triangle (or… is it more than just that?), a bisexual awakening, first times, knife play, and bisexual erotica (includes a brief MFM scene).
The list of content warnings is available in the first few pages of the book or on my website.
This book is only suitable for adult audiences (18+).

Deviate Me by Daphne Thorne
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Damian and Killian are stepbrothers. They were turned into vampires at the same time. They both revel in the blood and killing. Their maker leaves them after a short time without teaching them much about their new reality. Thatās when they find Jacob, a tattoo artist. An older vampire who becomes enamored with Damian while covering him in piercings.
Killian carries enough angst for several characters. He has always had protective instincts towards Damian but his feeling are evolving into something he canāt accept. Damian is his brother, he shouldnāt want him sexually. But he really, really does. And seeing him with Jacob is tearing him apart.
The new vampire lore blew out every stereotypical fact about vampires that Iāve ever read. Allowing them to be more humanlike and less dwellers of the night.
While the story settles on Damian and Jacob, Killian still figures into their relationship. Killian goes looking for something that can be his. While itās a given that Damian and Killian will eventually be together itās also obvious that Jacob will become part of their dynamic.
A few surprises, a lot of blood and gore, and creatures with no conscience made this a dark story. Itās ends on a mild cliffhanger that will be resolved in the next book.
