It’s been a decade since the outbreak of V2000 and everything went horribly wrong. Vampires are no longer hiding in the shadows, but with the virus comes a high price: most humans are turned into a mutated Vampire offshoot called vamps. True, pureblood humans are a fast dwindling commodity and even though they have a synthetic blood that they can survive on, Vampires crave warm sweet blood straight from the tap.
Danika Chekov is the only female Vampire Lord in America. She’s young, too. So of course, the older male Vampire Lords try to make her feel inferior. But Danika is made of sterner stuff. She may be going through a rough patch and someone may or may not be trying to kill her, but she will not bow down to anyone. So she purchases Mason, a human swept up by a slaver crew. Their attraction to each other is undeniable. But Mason isn’t what he seems and Danika’s world is about to get very complicated.
Bad timing on my part, but I just finished a Vampires-Take-Over-The-World book and it sucked. So, I went into this one with great reluctance and was immediately sucked in. Hehe I said sucked in. Like blood…oh, nevermind. Anyway, the characters are awesome, the world is complicated, and the mystery is twisty. My only complaint is the terminology for the Vampires, vampyr and vamps confused the fuck out of me for far too long. It wasn’t explained very well or I just didn’t get it. I’m not sure which. Anyway, Mason is definitely not human. I’m not giving anything away with this observation. You’ll see it in the opening chapter. But what he is…is something cool. I love this story and can’t wait to read more in this series.
A wonderful book by author Rebekah R. Ganiere.
Filled with a lot of twist and turns. Loved reading this awesome book…
I really enjoyed the plot in this book. I lost sleep to keep reading. I look forward to reading book 2.
Danika is such a great character with so much depth. Even in this time and world of course the us is still a patriarchal society ad really aren’t fans of her a female being a coven lord. However she is a great lord and cares very much for her coven and others. Upon meeting Mason, you spend a lot of the book wondering his truth, I won’t spoil it here, but it was surprising. Both their growth throughout the story is great and the other character, including the enemies were well written and hidden throughout. Excited for the next in this series.
This first book in The Society Series by Rebekah R Ganiere was an entirely different approach to most vampire stories which made it a surprising and very enjoyable read. Yes, the vampires are now the ruling class and hunt humans for slaves and other reasons but that doesn’t make them all blood-thirsty and despicable. In fact, Lord Danika is just the opposite. She treats her humans in a much more civilized manner even though they may be used as lowly servants or even the ones who volunteer to be blood donors or guardians. Then there is Mason, who the reader knows is not quite human but not what he actually is until near the end of the book. When Danika and Mason meet all bets are off as they seem to be attracted to each other even though they know in their minds they shouldn’t let it happen. But happen it does and then the sparks really start flying, both sexually and emotionally. Underlying their story is another subplot of betrayal and violence against Danika and ultimately everyone in her coven. Who will survive and what will happen next is for the reader to find out in the pages of the book. This is a voluntary review of a free copy of this book from Story Origin.
This is a completely new series for me, and while it is different from what I’ve been reading, I enjoyed it. This story takes place in a world that is seemingly foreign to our reality, but if you think about it in some ways it could even parallel (which is crazy) because of how people treat one another. I love the firey chemistry between Danika and Mason! I would certainly recommend giving this a go because it is an interesting read with a number of questions to try and figure out as you go.
This is pretty intense story and has a darkness to it. Humans messed up. They thought to destroy vampires when they became common knowledge but instead they doomed themselves. Now vampires reign over the world. There are three types of vampire. True vampires that are born, humans bitten and the humans who changed from a virus. It is a little confusing at first but as the story goes it becomes easier to understand. Humans still exist and are fed upon by true and bitten vampires. But they live as slaves or hide and try to survive. Then there is Mason. Who and what he is may change it all. What is evil and good isn’t always easy to tell. Expect plenty of action and danger. The romance is filled with tension and problems.
Vampires, Vampyrs, and Vamps are all the same right? HA! Guess again. The vampires are on the top of the food chain now….
Nika is just trying to be a Lord, run a business, and find love. Not too much to ask for…. right?
This book is the start of The Society Series. A great start it is too! Great for older YA to us adults, because there is some… intimate moments.
Reign of the Vampires is the first installment in Rebekah Ganiere’s The Society series. It starts off with a bang and keeps on rolling. Filled to the brim with Vampires, Vampyrs, Vamps, minions, humans, blood slaves, other slaves and rogues, it gives the vast cast of characters true dimension. The storyline is fast-paced and well written, filled with danger, intrigue, subterfuge, politics, romance and magic. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and am eagerly awaiting book two!
