Whoa buddy what a great start to this new series by two fantastic authors!! We meet Kane heir to the vampire thrown who is being forced to find a mate with special emphasis on a conniving one groomed to be with him. Plans get derailed though as he finds his mate in a shifter which is forbidden and he is not her only one. Things get dicey as the danger increases as the secrets start coming out. An excellent introduction to this new world as well as wonderfully layered characters. The fast pace makes it impossible to put down. Perfect for fans of the genre. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
This is the first book in a new vampire/lycan series. Kane is the vampire prince and Lilith, his stoic mother, is ready for him to take the throne. Jillian is the lycan princess and her father wants her to mate for love. One catch? They’re both each others’ mates and their species are at war with each other. Steam ensues as they try to bank their desire and figure out a way to be together. This is a novella in a four-book series and continues into the next book, Voss. Great add to your TBR if you love a fast-paced, steamy PNR series like I do!
Definitely worth picking up.
This book is AWESOME! You have to give it a try. A quick easy read and a great start to a new series, can’t wait to read the next book. Original story with great characters, and strong writing. Plus vampires and lycans! What’s not to love?
Overall rating: 4.8
Lycans …I just love that term! Forbidden love between different races, further complicated not just with the fated mate pull but with the pull towards two others as well. Yep, a definite glued to the pages type of storyline! The heat rolls off the pages between Kane and Jillian! The book one rockets this series off to a great start, and makes sure to hook your interest towards continuing! Looking forward to it! All my reviews are always voluntarily written.
So far so good, this fast paced story is filled with plenty of intrigue, suspense, and of course steamy romance to keep you hook from beginning to end. Just when things were starting to get good your hit with a cliffhanger ending. So looking forward to seeing what else is in store for this series. Overall a enjoyable and entertaining read and a great start for a new series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
great start to a new series. Loved the story enough to over look the cliffhanger ending. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
It was a great book !
Kane is the vampire prince
Jillian is the lyncan princess
Their attraction is undeniable.
However, acting on their attraction is forbidden.
Loved the characters + the storytelling !
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
Very interesting viewpoint to pursue, great start of a series.
I loved this story, one vampire prince, one Lycan princess, forbidden mates. Their people have a long history as enemies. Now both have been attacked. Open war has never been so close. But the attacks didn’t come from each other. They have a common enemy. They need to work together but if they acknowledge their bond, they stand to lose everything. This was a very entertaining story. It flowed well and I liked the characters. Definitely worth your time! Wish there was more! It end on a hell of a cliffhanger
This book started out very murderous and dark, so I was not sure if I would even want to read the book. But I am glad I did the beginning story of Kane and Jillian is a quick read and yes there are lots of questions unanswered. A war is coming from an unknown source, a fated mate between a Vampire and a wolf – UNHEARD of and forbidden! This book just wet my appetite for what is coming next for Kane, Jillian, Voss and Quin. The story flowed very well and there was no filler in the story it was straight to the point and you knew everything that was going on. One thing I do not like about cliffhangers is you really get into the story then it just stops. So just keep that in mind when reading this book it does just stop.
Love this novella. The story is a great read and love the characters. Its not the typical vampire and lycan tale and that makes it all the more enjoyable.
If this book is going in the direction I really think it is, I don’t know that I actually need to continue reading this series.
Starting out it kind of has an Underworld vibe to the book. Lycans and Vampires are enemies. There’s no middle ground when it comes to these two species. But what happens when fate steps in and changes everything these two species thought they knew.
I’m really disappointed that this book literally stops in the middle of a scene and leaves readers questioning what is to happen next. It might not have been so bad for the story to end on a cliffhanger had it not just stopped right after each admitting feelings about each other, oh and dropping the bomb about Kane having to give up his birth right.
This book was right up my alley! I love paranormal characters with bite and this book delivered. I really look forward to reading more from this universe.
Kane
An interesting quick read, Vampires, and Lycans, enemies to lovers, action, and deception
This is really interesting. This is the first book in the series and a prequel rolled into one. At least that’s how I kinda saw it. I’m familiar with reverse harems and like them if done right. Jillian is the Princess of wolves and Kane is the Prince of Vampires. They both have obligations and are being hounded to find mates. Okay so mainly Kane is being hounded by his counsel and Mother. Jillian’s Father High Alpha wants her to be happy and if she doesnt mate and wants to go it alone he’s good with it. Now vampires and wolves have been on opposite sides for years. Its a constant battle and this new threat although its assumed each side is to blame come to find out they are not. Can they work together on this common foe? Are Jillian and Kane doomed to never mate because its forbidden? A couple other chinks in the chain is her 2 sentries feel the mating pull towards her and them her. Sooo its deliciously complicated.
This ends on a hell of a cliffhanger but alas the other books are available I believe. Which I’ll get checking out. I do think a little more could have been done with the story because it seemed things happened really fast almost too fast. I dont mean the mating either. The story moved too quick and there are too many variables that are left unanswered. Perhaps they are answered in the other books. Which there seem to be 3 more.
Great start to the series. Kane is a vampire who is suppose to take the throne, Jillian is a Lycan who is suppose to rule all the Lycans. They don’t really hate each other but they don’t exactly hang out together either, so what are they suppose to do when they feel the mate bond for each other? To make matters worse she feels the same pull for 2 other wolves.
Fair warning if you hate cliffhangers then this book will probably make you a tad angry lol.
Very much enjoyed this, but now I have to find time to go check out the rest! Not going to be satisfied til I see what happens next between them all!
Great beginning
This story has a lot going on but it’s short so it really leaves you wanting more. There is a star crossed lovers situation going on with the vampire prince and the lycan princess as the groups are mortal enemies. Kane’s mom is pressuring him to marry and become the ruler of the vampires. However, he doesn’t want anything to do with it as he’s met his fated mate and can’t have her. With a new enemy killing people on both sides, Kane has to figure out how to save his people. Love or duty? There is explicit adult content.
Kane is going to be new King of the Vampires, but his mother won’t let it go until he finds a mate. But he doesn’t want just anybody, and mom wants him to choose the one person he feels that is his little sister. But one night Kane is shocked to find his one true mate Jillian but there’s no way he can have. Because she is the daughter of the High Alpha, a Lycan princess, the only heir. Throw in the fact that she has other possible mates out there, someone who wants the Lycans and a Vampire war, those who don’t want Kane and Jillian together and more. Put it together with danger, and things are getting hot and heavy, it makes a person want to keep reading and reading and more reading. Great start to a series
