Shadows and Sirens alike are out to capture her and bring her to be tortured by the Queen, but for what reasons, Kelia doesn’t know.Following her rescue from two different kidnappings, Kelia starts to realize that—as a … starts to realize that—as a human among supernaturals—she’s more of a hindrance than an asset. For the first time in her life, Kelia is the weak link. And the bounty on her head puts everyone in danger.

Holy. Vampire. Pirates! I don’t quite know where to begin to describe the incredible roller coaster of emotions I’m feeling right now after finishing this book (in one sitting mind you because there was no point that I felt like I could safely stop). I love these characters, the different magical creatures and the way this world flows so effortlessly. Each book in the series has been my “new favorite” and this one is no exception. I’m not quite sure how I’m going to wait for the next one … if you love vampires, pirates, dangerous romance, sexy-as-sin male leads and tough as nails heroines – grab this series NOW! You won’t regret it.
Im absolutely and thoroughly seduced by this series. I love the fresh concept on vampires, almost as much as I love the easy banter and chemistry of all the characters. This a quick easy read that packs a punch in a short period of time. Im on edge just waiting for the next installment. It can’t come fast enough.

This series just keeps getting better and better. I picked up the book and read it in one sitting, I could not put it down. Kelia is a human with a bounty on her head and her supernatural friends are trying to protect her. So much happens, I cannot say much or it will give away the plot but needless to say I felt a few tears fall at the end. Now for the next book! I would recommend this book and series.

Sadly, I was very lost with this being the 3rd book in the series BUT it had me so enthralled that I bought books 1 & 2 right afterwards. And book 4 will be bought when I get done with 1, 2 & 3 again. Yes I am going to reread book 3. It’s that good!
I mean, vampire pirates, witches, breeding, what more could a reader ask for? This seems to revolve around Kelia & Drew. Although I don’t know the backstory, I like that they have feelings for each other. I hope they get a HEA. Anyway, I digress.
I highly recommend this book but I also highly recommend you read books 1 & 2 beforehand.
Our heroine is on the run, her protectors being killed. Is there a way out?
This is book three in the series and I highly recommend starting at the beginning so that you understand the background. Everything will make more sense that way.
This is an urban fantasy novel with a somewhat unique twist involving a pirate and seafaring theme. I really enjoyed the unique feel that this provided and the world building that went with it. The plot gets somewhat intense in this one, with enemies at every turn. I think the world and characters are both quite solid by this point and help draw you into the story.
Unfortunately, there were still quite a few typos (missing or incorrect words) which tend to draw you out of the story. I really would love to see a good editor fix this.
Regardless, the story was enjoyable and did keep my attention throughout. I am looking forward to the next book in the series

I have read every one of the stories so far and they are so exciting and thrilling. There were two things that I wondered about. 1) Drew withholds so much information from Kelia and won’t explain why. It seems that he would understand that forewarned is the only way to be able to protect herself. 2) Kelia has had several people tell her how different Drew treats her and how much she cares and she sees how much she can get away with, but she still whines about him not caring anything about her. What happened to all her Slayer training? I usually love her character but in this book she was all over the place. I still loved every minute of the book and since I have the last book waiting, I don’t mind the cliff hanger. This is one exciting series and it enthralled me from book one. This has been one of the best series I’ve read this year. I requested an advanced reader copy from Booksprout and am under no obligation to leave this review.
She has escaped the breeding programme but the queen wants her and what the queen wants they get. She tries to stay hidden but when her protectors are murder she needs to make a choice. Watch other friends die. Or give herself to the queen? See what she will do

So I have really enjoyed this series so far and this third book did not let me down! Well written In this latest instalment you will say goodbye to favourite characters and hello to new ones, you will feel as though you are back on that rollercoaster as you journey with Kelia in this fast paced, action packed addition and you will suffer the suspense and twists and turns. More steamy romance as well so if this sounds good to you grab this and the previous 2 books, you will not be disappointed!
This is book 3 from the Vampire Pirate Saga. This is an awesome series that once you start you can’t put down. It’s well written with great characters. I highly recommend the entire series.

Again I am glad I am no longer 18. They seem to think they know everything, are right all the time and are invincible. Drew and Kelia finally come together as more than just friends. Though again I find gross that they seem to always kiss after she has just thrown up. That is just my weird observation. No surprise here Drew and Kelia fight about what Kelia can and can’t do during this whole book. Also no surprise Drew is correct on his assumptions. We finally meet the Queen. It will be interesting to see how this all ends.

Gift of Darkness
I enjoyed reading this 3rd story in the series, the characters are good and there is plenty of action

In this book, the story takes a turn and we find Kelia and Drew on the run and hiding out from the Sirens and the Queen of the Shadows. Ever since Kelia escaped from the breeding program the sirens and shadows have been out to capture her for the Queen’s bounty. The storyline is action-packed and filled with adventure, danger, romance and twists that kept me turning the pages. I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series and finding out how the story ends.
I love these characters, the different magical creatures and the way this world flows so effortlessly. This is another action packed adventure following Kelia and Drew.

While still a good storyline, the tale seem to lose its ability to hold together as well as the first book.
Though she was viewed as a very capable Slayer in book one, her self preservation and instinct seem to not be as sharp after she lost her status as a Slayer.

From where this story started out going, I felt like it ended up in a completely different direction. There are tantalizing hints about the mysterious death of Kelia’s mother that I was desperately hoping would become a bigger part of the story, but I love that we get to learn more about the magic of their world and the other supernatural creatures that inhabit it. I also really liked that we get to see Drew and Kelia moving their relationship further. Though I’m especially anxious to see what happens after that bit of a cliff-hanger ending.
