Synopsis
Ancient revenge and deadly desire explode in this epic
vampire tale....
Vampire princess
Alexia Feodorovna has been undead for 125 years, so it’s been a while since any
man has made her pulse race. Until Declan Black. One look at his bronzed body
and a fire like on other consumes her.
Then
she discovers that he’s a dragon lord, come to take revenge on the vampires who
killed his parents. And claim a crystal said to imbue its owner with incredible
powers.
Alexia
is ordered to torture and kill the dragon lord. Yet with each reckless
encounter, she finds herself consumed by his fiery passion. A passion Delcan
battles as well.
Will
he be able to resist the fire of lust she kindles within him and keep revenge
in his heart? Or will he risk everything to quench the burning desire and claim
the vampire as his own?
Thoughts
First read: A colony of vampires and Dragon’s
though obviously different. And they hate each other, wishing the other into
existence, war to get that way.
So
when Declan, the king of the dragon’s, is captured by the vampires he put threw
a number of tortures, but nothing comes close to the one that mean he has to
leave the woman he has fallen in love with behind. since she is the next queen
on the vampires, it’s safe to say that his colony wouldn’t like her, but he’s
in love and when she goes back to confront a man that has tormented her life
for the last 125 years, Delcan can’t think of anything but saving her. But is
he already too late?
It
is your very typical Romeo and
Juliet story line, like it’s so much it that... yeah, it’s that. But that’s not
saying that’s it’s a bad book for it, actually makes it a little more
interesting, I think.
There
are a few mistakes in the book, something more to do with the face that she’s
forgotten where her characters were positioned before she got them to the next
and so being that they were already on their knees, it’s hard for them to drop
onto them, isn’t it? But that’s what I got.
Second read: it’s actually been quite a while
between reading this the last time and this time, so there were things that I
forgot about. the main plot, the sub plots and the way that her writing gets
into your skin (at least while your reading it) but still, the basicness of the
storyline and the fact that what annoyed me the first time annoyed me again
this time.
I
really did like this book though, it also made me what to know what happens
next, but with memory when I was trying to find out about the next book, well,
it wasn’t the one this book set up—things might have changed now, but I couldn’t
be bothered looking into it at the moment, maybe when I get an electronic
reading device?
This
story has all the whole marks of a great series, the characters, though duller
than most, they worked well in the story and with the past they both shared. The
outer-characters and the semi plot made for a great book to come. If only this
book didn’t have such a lame and boring story then maybe it would have gone
better and we would have had the next one before we all forgot the books existed.
All
in all, I do remember while it was in my mind I really enjoyed the book even
with the things that annoyed me. I read it a handful of times, before something
better came along and this just became a dust collector until last night when I
felt like reading something but didn’t really have the time read anything new.
