[Chanelle Kirksey]

Courtof the Vampire Queen is that feeling when you can't take your eyes off someone, transferred to a vampire romance. It's a high-heat, propulsive take on a seductive vampire court that will appeal to fans of Neon Gods and Kingdom of Battle and Blood, as well as spicy romance readers.

Each of the original three courts had a relic from the Mother that symbolized their power and their connection to Gaia. Those relics are often called Triunes, these Triunes call tehri queens to take a ruling seat the way that an Aima Queen calls her Blood.

Most of the Houses mentioned are part of the Aima Court. Marne Ceresa, daughter of Ceres is the High Queen of the Triune and queen of Rome, the cradle of civilization. The statue is hidden is Marne Ceresa's court in Rome. Jeanne Dauphine is the second high queen of the Aima Court. Desideria was the third high queen of the Aima Court until she died from Guillaume's venomous blood that he got from Shara Isador's mother. How Desideria died is not widely known.

The Skolos Court is typically ruled by queens with darker gifts. The queens who rule the Skolos court one is Udina Ketea (mother of Okeanos Keta Isador) and one is related to Leviathan (Mehen) Isador.

The Triskeles Court was lost many centuries ago when Desideria Modron began her campaign against the other courts. Shara Isador found the statue and is the High Queen of the Triskeles Court. Shara had to swim to get to an oasis wrapped in darkness. The palm trees closed over her head and turned into a cave. A round table sat beneath a circular skylight so moonlight could illuminate the short, rounded statue. The statue is darker than the one in the Aima Triune. Her skin was a gleaming polished ebony with a white triple spiral in her rounded spiral. Triskeles. When she touched a chair it shifted its back rising into the familiar outline of Isis' horned crown.

The New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Neon Gods brings the heat in this sizzling tale of a vampire queen and her three consorts

Three Powerfully Alluring Vampire Men

And One Queen to Rule Them All

All Mina ever wanted was to escape her father's control. Half human, half vampire, she lived eternally torn between two worlds, never fully experiencing the pleasures of either-until her father chose her as the pawn in his latest political move, gifting her to the darkly powerful and dangerously seductive Malachi Zion.

Malachi is not a vampire to be trifled with. He rules with an iron fist and has a reputation for the darkest of sins. But the longer Mina spends with him, the more she realizes he's not the monster she first thought-and as fear bleeds into lust, then trust, then something more, Malachi opens Mina up to a world she never knew could be hers for the taking: including the love of Malachi's two closest friends and companions.

Now surrounded by all three men, the center of their shockingly seductive world, Mina may finally have the power to face down her father and take back the life-and crown-that by all rights should be hers.

LONG LIVE THE QUEEN.

This book is an adult romance novel that contains mature themes and content.

In COURT OF THE VAMPIRE QUEEN by Katee Robert, Mina was born to a vampire father and a human mother, but she has no magic of her own, so is of no use to her power-hungry father except as a pawn. When he decides to make a gift of her to another vampire, Mina is ready to fight. But she finds that no matter what she had planned, there were forces that would not necessarily stand in her way--they would stand by her side when she becomes their queen.

Malachi Zion is a powerful, dangerous vampire, but he is also trapped in his home by the magic of Mina's father. He wants freedom almost as much as she does--almost as much as he wants Mina. When his two friends join them, after deciding that she shouldn't die after all. Mina's world is forever changed.

COURT OF THE VAMPIRE QUEEN is not your average vampire read, especially when the truth of Mina's background comes out and that gives her the magic they all need to escape. This is a polyamorous romance, with spicy scenes including multiple sexual partners. In addition to the erotica, this is a well-written fantasy. Though the outcome might be a foregone conclusion given the title COURT OF THE VAMPIRE QUEEN, the journey that gets Mina back to her father's court and the way she finally becomes free of him is something readers will not want to miss.

Bestselling author Katee Roberts knows how to write steam,y amazing reads, and is also able to tell a story in a manner that makes readers want to keep reading. Mina, Malachi, Wolf, and Rylan form an intriguing polyamorous relationship. The varied personalities might not look like they should blend well but Ms. Roberts makes it all work very happily for the readers and the four of them.

A vampire queen is very rare, and created only when a woman is successfully transformed. Unlike other vampires, queens possess a second set of fangs, called the "makers." These fangs are slightly smaller than the regular "feeder" fangs, and make the transformation possible. It is theorized that a new vampire is created when the queen sucks away blood with the feeders and injects some of her own blood with the makers.

Only a queen can create a new vampire, with the exception of the few "artificially" created vampires that resulted from the OBO's experiments in Soulless. It is considered a great achievement for a queen to create another queen (in much the same way the werewolves consider changing a female an achievement), as it seems that females are much less likely to survive the change than males are.

In dire circumstances, a queen may choose to "swarm" and leaves her hive with her brood of vampires. They must find and claim a new location within a matter of hours, or risk perishing due to over exposure to the sunlight. Swarming is particularly distressing to a queen, as the tether to her territory must be broken and reforged. (It may be noted, however, that roves like Lord Akeldama may swarm as he did in Blameless, but there is not the same urgency behind finding a new location as there is in a traditional hive, likely due to a fewer amount of vampires being relocated, and the tether is not as strong).

All this is changing, however, as Solange approaches her sixteenth birthday, the date on which her "medical condition" will turn her from a sweet, ordinary teen girl into a bloodsucking vampire princess, fulfilling a prophecy that threatens to take down the currently reigning vampire queen. Things get even more complicated when the queen's murderous intentions are revealed and Solange falls under attack from the royal court, from various infighting vampire clans, and from Helios-Ra, a group of humans dedicated to the destruction of the vampire race. A refreshingly humorous and high-action addition [End Page 288] to the often brooding vampire genre, this story refuses to take itself seriously, instead offering a light-hearted and genuinely entertaining romp through the underworld. Lucy and Solange alternate narration, and while Lucy is by far the more interesting of the pair (especially as her relationship with Nicholas, Solange's handsome older brother, heats up), both girls are charming with their biting wit, fearless bravado, and generally angst-free demeanors. There are some tenderly insightful moments too, particularly between Solange and her brothers, and the emphasis on various types of relationships (i.e., mother-daughter, brother-sister, mortal friend-vampire friend), makes this a rather unusual take on the vampire world.
