Everyone knows it’s not a true vampire cult party until someone gets staked. From USA Today bestselling author Lindsey R. Loucks and award-winning author Mysti Parker, get lost in an action-packed paranormal romance series that will leave you breathless and begging for more! Wren—vampire princess, collector of men—is on the run again. But she’s tired of being on the defense. The time has come to … tired of being on the defense. The time has come to infiltrate the traitress queen’s inner circle and destroy her plans.
And then to overthrow the queen herself. But when Wren and her mates crash the monthly party, they reveal just how deep the queen’s corruption goes. Turns out, she has a depraved slave cult with the motto They who are truly served.
Aka T.W.A.T.S.
Despite the ridiculous acronym, Wren and her guys serve up some satisfying death and destruction, and it’s enough to get the queen’s attention.
Charles—a mercenary, a joker, and now a potential mate—is used to keeping five steps ahead of everyone.
But Wren has him spinning ass over ankles. Not only is she gorgeous, but she’s ruthless about digging up her mother’s past.
Unfortunately, that involves his past, and his connection to the former queen’s death. Not to mention that joining Wren’s court means becoming one of the good guys, and that sounds like an awful lot of commitment. If only it weren’t so damned fun…

Keep getting sucked right in. I’m loving these books . Can’t wait to see what happens next !!
This book series gets better and better. More adventure, more mystery and more men to love. I absolutely adored this second book and can’t wait for the third. This second book just blew my mind. I devoured wren and her men, the story is just phenomenonal. Vampires have never been so good to read. Beautifully written!
These characters are amazing! I thought I was disappointed with how Wren only meets the newest harem member at the end of the Book 1 and Book 2, but honestly, this allows me to look forward to an entire next book where we get to learn more about the new character as the story progresses. I think Charles is one of my favorites. I really enjoyed how Wren was slowly learning about her family and past in this book as well as creating and reinforcing connections between Ashe and Charles (Zac too). The ending was a little heartbreaking, but hooray for another reason for revenge!
Defiance (Sever the Crown) by Mysti Parker is an amazing story that I have loved reading very much. This is book number two in this amazing series that I can not get enough and can not wait to get book number three. I highly recommend this sot everyone who loves reading about vampires.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Fratricide Reviled
This is book two of a serial rather than a series. If you have not read book one, “Emergence,” you may well enjoy book two for its own action, but you will be missing a significant chunk of the story. And the first book was enough fun that you would want to read it anyway. I had the pleasure of listening to the very well-acted audio, read by Melissa Schwairy, who also narrated book one, and was enough caught up in the story that I listen nearly straight through. Can’t wait to hear book 3! (Caution: Heat rating 4+.)
This was a fantastic, seemless continuation of the story, with all the drama, suspense and steamy romance of the first book. I loved book 1, and this surpassed my expectations, I was hooked from the first pages, and on the edge of my seat for a wild ride! I can’t wait for the next book to find out whats in store for Wren and her harem, with more of Melissa Schwairy’s beautiful narration. I received this book in exchange for my honest review.
Fabulous Story & Narration An Exciting Adventure!
Defiance
A Reverse Harem Vampire Romance (Sever the Crown, Book 2)
By: Mysti Parker, Lindsey R. Loucks
Narrated by: Melissa Schwairy
Mysti Parker & Lindsey R. Loucks continue to wow me with this fascinating series. I loved the first book “Emergence” be sure to read and/or listen to that book before starting this one because it is one continuous story and adventure. Wren is no longer the lone vampire, she learned who her mother really was, the Queen of the Southern Vampire”. As the plot thickens we are learning that it may have been her own sister, Ravena, the current Queen who was behind her murder. Wren had been on a mission to avenge her mothers murder but now she is on a new mission, to uncrown Ravena and take back the empire that is rightfully hers with the help of Zach and her two mates, Ashe and Charles. Each one of them is a character, despite a bit of a rivalry and some bickering they do make a great team. This book is just as captivating and action packed as the first. The story is cleverly plotted with drama, thrilling and exciting action, twists and turns, fun quirky moments as well as heartfelt and emotional ones and some hot sexy times. I am looking forward to what comes next for these amazing characters and Wren’s third star and mate. Thank you for another fabulous story!
I listened to the Audible edition, Melissa Schwairy is a talented narrator and versatile voice artist. She continues to bring these characters to life, giving each their own voice and personality, as well as heart and attitude. Her portrayal of the characters is spot on, makes each character her own and then plays the role with perfection. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the great listen
//Never a spoiler in any of my reviews.// If action and thrills are what you like, you’ve found that book right here! Well written with plenty of twists so as not to be at all boring at any level. This is the second book in a well-written series that only disappoints when you get to the end because you’ve finished the book! Even if this is not a genre you would normally read, you will find this particularly thrilling and entertaining and will have discovered two new super talented authors that can really tell and story and give you what you want in a book.
Fast-paced, with plenty of hot sex, action, humor, and well-developed characters that are super easy to get to know. You get the drift, now get the book! Looking forward to book 3 without a doubt! This is my unbiased and unsolicited review after receiving a complimentary copy.
I am thoroughly enjoying this series, these authors have an interesting new spin on RH.
Found it hard to put down as was getting surprised with each new twist to the tale.
This is well worth your time if you enjoy RH with a twist and I am definitely looking forward to the next one in this series.
These are both new to me authors and I am enjoying their writing.
I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Hey!! a new mate? awesome, the RH is building up nicely. Love, adventures, fast paced action, twists and turns!! a very good second book, looking forward to what comes next for Wren and her mates…
Wren, Ashe, Charles and Zac have a plan and things go pretty smoothly at first. Then they get some info that that can’t just let go, no matter what happens. Wren also learns a bit more about her mother and the late queen’s mates.
I really enjoyed watching the group continue to grow stronger together, and can’t wait to see what they get up to next. OMG that ending…how could it just end there.
If your a supernatural fan and love fast paced and a action packed read. Great story building. And the characters are brought out well. There are twists and turns I didn’t see coming, a great read. And the book cover is fantastic.

ONE ROCKING ADVENTURE!!!
Down and dirty! This dynamic duo not only builds the bridge and soothes rough waters, they map the flow and master the current with this impressive storyline that welds this bad boy together piece by jagged piece. A spinning throng of vexing circumstances and a slew of surprising events catapults this bad boy to life beautifully. Action packed, hard hitting, heart pounding, pulse racing, unnerving, page flipping bombshell that grabs your attention and holds it until the last word. Throw in distress and turmoil and you have a recipe for disaster. Pushing on-ward through the trials and tribulations along with a multitude of plot twists as it spins the imagination with mind blowing results. Satisfying is an understatement. Sparks fly as intrigue, danger and suspense ensues as the chemistry sizzles. Ramping all the swirling emotions into play with every color on the spectrum. The realism and authenticity of the characters as their on point personalities blend and flow along with the graphically detailed scenes that really pull this baby together smoothly. Awesome job guys, thanks for sharing this little gem with us.
Wren is still my favorite kick ass heroine. No matter what her evil false queen aunt throws at her, Wren and her men come out on top. As the true Queen, she is gathering supporters as she finds the men who will fill her harem. In Defiance, Wren adds Charles to her harem. Unfortunately it is not always a smooth addition. This second installment to the Sever The Crown series is seamlessly written by two amazing authors, Mysti Parker and Lyndsey R Loucks. Be sure to get this book and continue this fantastic series.
Wren is fighting her Aunt Ravana who murdered her mother and now is trying to murder her she has found two of her five mates and just barely escaped from a bomb that was part of a setup and now she and the others have been snatched up find out they were being protected and taken to an underground installation for their own protection. Ashe has to witness something no one should and Wren doesn’t know how to help him. But she has just met another of her guard and mates but he has pertinent information to share with her. Great characters, story line is very interesting. Book 2 in the Vampire Romance Series. I was given an Advance reader Copy as gift from author without obligation. I am providing an honest review.
This action-packed reverse harem series is just awesome! Action packed the story continues to grow and develop as do the characters as you hold onto your seat for one hell of a ride! Filled with danger, mystery, intrigue, twists and turns and not to mention the sizzling hot sex and you have a great second book!
Defiance, book 2 of the Sever the Crown series, picks up where book 1 left off and keeps on rolling! It’s even more action packed than Emergence – book 1. Wren and Ashe are thrown head first into a partnership that now includes Charles as a second mate. Charles, Ashe and Zac must learn to work together to keep Wren safe despite multiple attempts on her life. Ashe and Charles must work through their jealousy issues quickly if they are ever going to embrace life in a harem of five. Enter Marlowe, mate number three, and tenions really ratchet up. Except, unlike Ashe and Charles, Marlowe doesn’t believe Wren stands a chance at winning the crown, nor does she deserve to wear it. But he is sworn to protect her, so he will do what he must to keep Wren and her entourage safe.
The storyline is fast-paced, filled with danger, intrigue, twists and turns and hot sex. The characters are well-developed and easy to relate to. I can’t wait to see what book 3 brings!
