One man seeking revenge and the other forgiveness, two fated lovers separated by time and tragedy – can love survive despite all the lies? Vampire families silently manipulate the chessboard in their bid for power and control unwittingly choosing the one person who can bring King Dinallah to his knees, for how can he condemn his fated mate to die? Told from multiple POVs, this is a story of second chances, letting go of the past and finding peace. It can’t be read as standalone since many characters from previous book play important role in this one.
Zeveriah Dinallah was never meant to be king, a position that makes for lonely nights and days filled with tension. There are those who seek to destroy him and bring back the war that decimated cities and killed so many humans. He is the only one who stands in the way of returning to old brute ways. But he grows weary of the fight. The weight of the past mistakes is too hard to carry. The thoughts of the boy he loved once and lost haunt him day and night. Happiness seems out of reach until one day a man shows up that just might be his salvation.
Emek has only one objective. Seduce the king and find the necklaces that will lead opposing vampires to the legendary Ellowyn treasure. He can do this despite his hatred of all vampires – it’s either succeed or die. Vampires took everything form him – his father, his home and his innocence. But no one hurt him more than a vampire who made him hope and then betrayed him. But what he does not expect is for the king Zev to be that vampire that broke him. Oh, the revenge will be so sweet. Or it should be but then why worry about him, why care about him, why console him when he is hurt? All is not so simple, and the line between hatred blurs into lust that nurtures the sparkle of love long buried into a huge flame.
While both men let the heat consume them, neither can forget the hurt and the pain, neither can trust each other. Yet when the danger threatens their lives, they find the way to save each other both from dying in body and in soul, for the fated bond they’ve shared is still there to support them.
There is a lot of angry hot s*e*x, plenty soul-searching and veiled threats and intrigue that vampires are oh so famous for. The betrayal runs deep and too close to home. There were times when I thought neither would make it out alive, but every time either luck or invisible supporters gave them a helping hand. I enjoyed all the subterfuge and machinations, the vampire family posturing and royal house day-to-day life. There was a lot more background on the history of Ellowyn, the vampire underground cities and all the vampire families that helped me keep up with who had what purpose. It took a while but Emek was able to become Asa again and forgive Zev, was able to trust and make friends. Zev welcomed Asa home into his arms where he belonged. Wonderful continuation of the Ellowyn Found series. Copy received for my honest and unbiased review
Okay, so this series just keeps getting better. In this one, we have Asa running from the city except he ends up having to work for someone that means harm. Zev is still searching for his mate that disappeared years earlier. Well, Asa begins work at Zev’s palace and then the twists and turns begin. Will their history repeat or will they be able to move forward?
Everything in this book will keep you on the edge of your seat. Though there are times that you wish you could shake some of the characters.
A Vampire’s Promise is the second book in the Ellowyn Found series by Kayleigh Sky. This was a very interesting and entertaining read…. fears, deceit, angst, sex…. definitely kept my attention although sometimes I was annoyed by certain things characters did. Overall I am still drawn in by the series and cant wait for next book.
A Vampire’s Promise is the second book in the Ellowyn Found Series by author Kayleigh Sky. This book has a list of characters at the start of it. What they do and who they are. This book has time jumps in it. I am not a real fan of that. But it was okay to this storyline. I really adored the first book. This book I found to be lukewarm at best. I felt it was a heavy read, with a lot of information for me to take in. It was a tad overwhelming.
Asa, he didn’t know his dad was experimenting on vampires. He is 17 when he finds out. He wants to join the Sentries. Things are black and white to him; the gray areas are hard for him to understand. He doesn’t want to believe vampires are bad.
Now there is a huge time jump when we meet the voice in Asa’s head. That is his mate Zev. Zev is a vampire and finally can find his mate and introduce himself. His heart is always in the right place and he doesn’t always make the best choices.
I found these two together to be a good pair. I just found them to not have a whole lot of chemistry.
I liked the storyline there is a ton to get through in this particular story. I liked the names of the chapters they are very clever and fun. I will read more cause I want to know what happens next. I just really loved the first book more than this one. It is an okay read.
