I read and enjoyed this book as part of the Undercity Chronicles #1 by Savannah Skye which is a collection of the first four books in the Undercity Chronicles. This collection includes: A House of Cards, The King of Hearts 1, The King of Hearts 2, and The King of Hearts 3. Each of the four books revolve around a central character named Cassandra or Cassie. In the first book Cassie fakes her death and her best friend a human named Hanna comes to find out what happened to her. This book has a exciting and sweet story of how Hanna falls in love with a vampire and they work together to save Cassie. The other three books all focus directly on Cassandra and her partner born vampire Ryder and the many dangerous adventures they get into together as their relationship develops. This four book series is a wonderful set of vampire stories set in a very well thought out world. This is most definitely the best, most exciting, and well written vampire series I have read. Anyone who loves to read about vampires will be as enchanted by the a unique vampire society found in the Undercity Chronicles as I am. Furthermore, these books are so entertaining with lots of action, adventure, mystery, and romance that I could not put them down until the end. Any paranormal romance reader will love this collection as much as I do. A House of Cards is one of the best romantic vampire romances I have ever read!
Hana Spear flew into New York because her friend Cassie died. Cassie was a vampire. As she is on the way to the hotel her cab was rammed into by another automobile. Two men took her out of the cab and kidnapped her. She passed out and when she awoke she was tied to a chair and waiting for a Mr. Chambers. They were asking her about money that Cassie supposedly gave her and where it’s at. As they get ready to torture her the police break the door in. She is saved and they take her to the police station. She then meets Avery who is a cop and a vampire. He says Cassie was a blood runner and must have been killed by one of the gangs and now everyone including the cops want the money she supposedly had. This starts the action in the story between Avery and Hana against the vampires, police and the King of Hearts plus his Royal Guards. Action packed story plus a huge surprise at the end. The sexual build up between Avery and Hana is so hot and very descriptive when it gets to them finally doing it.

I was hooked from the very first page with the well written and well planned plot and the strongly written characters kept me totally glued to my kindle until the turn of the very last page! I was so engrossed in this story that I read it in one sitting!
First let me state, I received an Advance Reader Copy, (ARC), but this in no way influences my review. I always leave an honest review. Also, this is my first time reading this author and with the story I just read, it won’t be my last.
Wow!!! This story grabbed me right from the start, and I couldn’t put it down. Sherry is Tarot reader in Paris. She’s really good at reading the cards too. She gets taken by vampires on her way home one night & is almost killed. Now these aren’t the sexy, sparkling sweet mind either. These are the nasty murderous kind. Luckily she doesn’t get sucked dry because one of them, Luca who is not like them, steps up and tells about her reading Tarot. So the Master keeps her there as a form of entertainment. She and Lucas develop feelings for each other. But there’s evil afoot. I truly loved this story& can’t wait to read the next one. I recommend this read 5 Thumbs up
Such a great story with great characters. Hana went to vampire under city to clear her friends name and got more than she bargained for. Met Avery, a vamp on the NYPD and things got hot and steamy. She was being hunted by vamps and humans alike for something she didnt know where it was. Things got crazy for a bit and in the end she got her HEA with Avery turning her and loving her forever.

Officer Avery Briant, who happens to be a vampire. Hana is convinced of Cassie’s innocence and is out to prove it. Avery is just going to have to go along and keep her safe.
Fun fast pace and a little steamy.
She is mourning the death of her friend when she is taken. Everything she learnt about vampires is nothing compared to what it really is. She is saved by a cop and she will work with him.to find out what happened to her friend. Will they? See if they can solve it

She came to mourn the death of her vampire friend, but the more she learns, the less certain she is of everything.
This is a prequel to an urban fantasy trilogy involving vampires living among us openly. But that doesn’t mean they are accepted. It provides a great introduction to the world and enough background to get you interested, without revealing enough to satisfy. A perfect appetizer for the main course to come.
I felt the book was very well written, with good character development and an active pace that kept you glued to the book for just one more page. It also leaves you craving more, which is exactly what a prequel should do. I, for one, am looking forward to the next book.
Highly recommended.

Hana comes to New York to find out more about the death of her vampire friend Cassie.
But as soon as she arrives more as one group thinks she knows where the money is Cassie took and that is a lot of money and Hana doesn’t now a thing. But nobody believes her at first.
Even the handsome cop who saves her can’t be trust. But after saving his live too, they spent the day together.
This because he is a vampire too, a rare one, because he has been living with human parents who adopted him.
Hana can’t keep her hands to herself and he takes good care of her in a very hot way.
But there steamy session is interrupted by Cassie who wasn’t death after all.
Bringing more drama and action to the story.
A story I really like and I wouldn’t mind reading more in this series, because I like it a lot.
A good vampire, human story with action in and outside the bedroom.
This is a quick but so very enjoyable read. The plot flows smoothly and at a quick pace which is fabulous for holding your attention on this wonderful journey undertaken by Hana on a journey to mourn a friend who wasn’t human. I enjoyed the fact that Vampires were out in the open but of course, in true human fashion with anything that is different, they are not accepted. Hana gets swept into a world that has depths that she never realised and along the way she finds love and adventure. Join her on this trip to a world that will delight and entertain you.

This is truly just the beginning.
From a friend’s death to her kidnapping Hana has a wild adventure.
The dialogue is well written and had been used a great tool for character building. This is a great introduction into this world and sets a great foundation.

This is the short beginning to the series coming up. She goes to NYC to mourn a friend and gets a surprising welcome. Things go south for awhile. It is suspenseful, dramatic, surprising, emotional and much more. I recommend it. I received a review copy by booksprout and voluntarily review it.
I cannot wait to see where this series is going to go. I fell into the story and did not want to put it down. You will laugh at some of the antics and cry at some of the turns. In the end, you will be left wanting in a good way for more.

I loved this short but very entertaining book that is the prequel to the upcoming trilogy. I found this to be a very intriguing read that captured and held my attention very well. This series looks to be filled with drama, intensity, action, danger, romance, hints of humor and some shocking twists. I liked Hanna so much. She was very feisty and strong and that was a good thing because with everything going on she needs to be. Her chemistry with Officer Briant was pretty steamy and many of their interactions came across as very cute. I’m very interested In seeing where the story goes from here, so I’m really looking forward to book one.
Hana, who is human, comes to NYC to mourn her vampire friend. This NYC has vampires living in the open, but still shunned by the humans. Most live in the Undercity with the reigning Kings. Hana meets, falls in love, and has many problems to overcome with Avery. The next book involves Cassie. Good short read.
