BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Warning: This novel is not suitable for younger readers or adult readers who object to strong sexual content, content depicting violence or taboo topics.
A fast-moving, suspenseful, sensual paranormal urban fantasy. Warning: Not a YA read!
Rose, a trendy but unmotivated Miami girl, is seduced by vampires at a posh party and stolen to their private island in the Caribbean. She learns that her rare and powerful blood makes her a highly prized vampire commodity. She is to join the Sisterhood, an elite, mysterious group of gifted females who are blood-bonded to and serve the vampires as companions through the ages. Faced with the daunting duality of her captors, both their terrifying savagery and their intensely erotic powers of seduction, Rose chooses to survive at any cost.
This work was first published as the first three volumes (Once Chosen, Veil of Mist, A Raven for a Crow) of the novella serial Vampires in the Mist. These three novellas have been compiled into this full, stand-alone novel titled Rose and the Vampires.
MY REVIEW:
At the time I bought the 5 books in this serialization, they were the only stories I hadn’t read from Zeece. As always, her covers were amazing but they got lost on my kindle with so many other books. It wasn’t until I went to post my reviews that I saw she had condensed them into two full-length stories. The brief description above gives very little away about the contents of the story.
Because of Rose’s unusual blood, and how it effects vampires, she finds herself not only learning how to defend herself against the vamp’s that kidnapped her, but others who want to use her. Savilla is her worst enemy and Lugo’s description of him is enough to make any woman shudder in horror. In the process of outsmarting her foes, Rose discovers a strength and guile in herself she never suspected.
I’ve read all of Lugo’s books and absolutely loved them and rated 90% of the with 5-stars. So I was so looking forward to getting to know Rose’s story. Sadly, I found them lacking. Rose just didn’t have the depth of character I found in the Angel’s Guardian series or the Danial’s Fork ones. I just didn’t find her relatable enough. Still, they were an enjoyable read and I kept going from one book to the next waiting to see what happened to Rose next, and how she would resolve her conflicts.
This book is ideal for readers who love supernatural vampires, dark erotica scenes, and strong-willed heroines. I give it 4-stars.
