In a world where vampires and angels have devised a peace treaty……humans either live their lives oblivious to the supernatural creatures living amongst them, or actively take part by selling their blood. Koa–a half-blood vampire–works for the organization that enforces the peace treaty. She can fly, has an enchanted sword, and a mother cursed to live as a cat. When a dangerous demon arises … live as a cat. When a dangerous demon arises and seeks to plunge the humans into darkness and evil, even Koa and the fallen angel she serves can’t stop him.
There are rumors of a prophet prince who can help, they just have to travel to an alternate universe to break him out of a supernatural prison.
Prepare for an epic paranormal adventure full of vampires, angels, shifters, and magic that grips you from the start and doesn’t let go.

“Authors who elect to write paranormal fiction take a leap of faith – especially when their audience is the Young Adult group. Though this is the first of her book this reviewer has read it is easy to see why she has gained such a wide audience. Her vampire stories retain enough of the expected magic and fright demanded by lovers of the genre, but at the same time she manages to infuse her tales with aspects of humanity not usually found in the routine vampire novels.”- Grady Harp HALL OF FAME TOP 100 REVIEWER VINE VOICE
“The Chronicles of Koa is a wonderful story full of likable characters, a clear world, and a fun mission.” Kirstin L. Pulioff, author of The Escape of Princess Madeline
“It has a fantastic story, twists and turns throughout, and some mysteries you won’t see coming. I’m looking forward to reading more of her books as she writes them. The Chronicles of Koa #2 will certainly be a day one purchase for me!”
Thomas Ray Manning, author of Energize (From the Logs of Daniel Quinn)
“The ending had me on edge. I have to say I have not read a vampire novel like this one before.” Glenna Maynard, author of Beautiful Strangers

Loved this book.Cant wait to read more of this authors work
A cool twist to heaven and hell, like the good, the bad and the ugley – but the good must be bad
This book had some unexpected characters. It was interesting enough to want to read the next book.
I’m sorry to say that I did not like this book at all. Can not recommend.
Very hard to put down after you start to read it. The book just pulls you in to the story.
2.5/5 Stars
I received a free copy of this book and volunteered to review it. This review MAY contain spoilers.
I really enjoyed this story as a whole, but I had some issues with it as well.
Starting off with what this book does well, it has a very unique take on vampires and Nephilim. I can honestly say that I haven’t read anything resembling this world that Lee has created before in other books. The concept of the story is very good and I think with some polishing it could be incredible.
I felt like this book was way too short and lacked detail. It felt like the bare bones of what a book should be. It has the main concept, the characters, and the plot, but it lacks the details needed to fully understand the scope of the story being told. This also brings me to the characters. While I liked these characters, I didn’t love them. I didn’t feel a connection to them that would make me fall in love with them. At times I didn’t feel like I knew them at all. This is where details would have been most advantageous in the story. As far as the world-building goes, more details is never a bad thing in a fantasy book. There were points in the book, especially when the main characters enter the Netherworld, that were confusing to follow. The author was telling instead of showing. An instance of this is when Lee tells the readers that the main character can fly. There is no explanation as to why, nor is there a description of her attempting it. She just flies. It didn’t go into any details regarding this power that the main character has. Every time she flew I just pictured Superman, but I know where Superman’s power comes from so his power of flying doesn’t confuse me. Every time she flew it was very unconvincing and ridiculous to me. Details are the backbone of a story. Without them, the story falls flat and doesn’t engage the reader.
I found the narrative a bit choppy and unconvincing at times. I also think that this book could use a serious sit down with an editor. There were misspellings and mispunctuation galore, and sometimes there was even the wrong form of a word used. While these things may not bother some people, they sadly impacted the enjoyment of the story for me.
The ending was a bit abrupt. I wouldn’t really call it a cliffhanger though because there wasn’t anything really hanging in the balance. I think that I would have preferred a cliffhanger, to be honest. The story just stops. I kept scrolling through my e-reader thinking that I didn’t have the complete file downloaded to my kindle app.
This book (and this series) has great potential. It definitely has some missed opportunities in regard to the world building and character growth, but the story is original and catching. I think that with some refining this story could be so much more. I will definitely be continuing the series. I know that this book is the first by this author, and I think that over time her writing can only get better. I am excited to see what else K.N. Lee has to offer. I would recommend this series to those that enjoy action-packed urban fantasy stories.
I didn’t get very far with this one. I read about 20% of it and just didn’t care to read more. If a book doesn’t grab me in the first few chapters, I’ve got better things to do and this one didn’t grab me.
