“Blood Covenant combines the hedonistic jet-setting pleasures of billionaire romance and the dirty little secret thrills of a dead sexy vampire!” – Katalina Leon, USA Today Bestselling AuthorWhen he met her, he knew how it would end.Shade Medici, a warrior king and sole male heir to the dynasty, is expected to mate and produce an heir to secure the continuation of the Medici coven. He’s waited … coven. He’s waited over 500 years for the right mate, and when he meets Kate Reese, his attraction is more than primal – it’s merciless.
She’s also mortal.
Kate is fresh off a broken engagement and reluctant to open her heart, but her hesitations are no match for the unrelenting pursuits of the vampire King. Their passion for each other is searing… and not everyone is happy about it. Namely the ruling Council.
As they fight against deceit, treachery, and those who aim to see their love fail, Shade also struggles to control his impulses as Kate is immersed into his dark and dangerous world, but it’s imperative he prepare her for the changes that will be demanded of her should she choose to bind herself to him through the blood covenant. All that scorches and glitters isn’t gold, and she quickly learns that falling in love with a vampire King comes at a hefty price:
It may just cost her everything.

I loved this new interpretation of vampires in this paranormal romance. The romance between Shade and Kate gets pretty steamy, and may not appeal to all readers. Great character development, and can’t wait to see where this story goes. This was a really big book…over 700 pages, and is the first book in a six book series. Looking forward to the next release!
Wow! I’m still not sure why I chose to read a book by this author but she has entered my list of favorites. I read a very wide variety of genres and especially like vampire romance novels by J R Ward and Christine Feehan. This series by Emily is going to hit the best sellers list. Wow. I have to have it in paper now and waiting for the next in the series is going to be torture, Thank you Emily from a new fan.
ONE INTERESTING JOURNEY
Holy hellhounds! Emily hits the ground running with this turbulent rollercoaster, spinning this action packed, heart pounding, pulse racing, adrenaline pumping, page flipping dynamo, grabbing you from the start and holding steady until the end, melding this jewel together seamlessly. Anarchy and mishaps descend in a flurry of deadly encounters and brutal tactics, observing the broken barriers and blurred perimeters solidify as limitations are amplified and enforced, reaching deep for every fiber of strength in a fierce surge of determination, blasting this baby to life flawlessly. The characters are complex, genuine and realistic with traits and qualities that balance and blend, with amazing depth and diversity and enough spice to add an extra kick to the mix. Throw in 100% on point realism, raising the stakes with such graphic scenarios that are so colorfully descriptive and vividly detailed its like you’re living it with them instead of on the sidelines. Remarkable job Emily, thanks for sharing this amazing thrill with us.
Great read, picked up the other two an will be reading them shortly!
Do you love vampires as old as time, spicy redheads, a world of things that go bump in the night? Then put them all together and you have an exquisitely spicy Paranoramal Love Story in “The Blood Covenant: Book One of the Medici Warrior Series”! Fall in love with Shade and Kate as they figure out how to make two very different worlds come together as one. This is one very titillating journey that fills you up and leaves you feeling a warmth for more.
I really enjoyed reading this book. The book kept me intrigued each chapter I read. I like the chemistry between the characters. This book has a little bit of everything love, betrayal. The only thing I didn’t like, it was repetition of scenes. The book ends with a cliffhanger. Can’t wait to read the next book of the series.
I loved this book waiting with baited breath for the next book in series!!!
Love, love, love this book and while I haven’t finished it. I cannot wait for the next one!!!
I really enjoyed book one and can’t wait for the next book in this series
The plot twists in this book kept coming keeping me on the edge of my seat. Now I can’t wait for the next book.
An absolutely amazing story. You will be compelled to sit and finish in one day. Yet, you feel Shade and Kate’s emotions. It draws you in. You don’t want to leave the Medici Warrior world. I’m absolutely excited for the next book.
Shade is a 500-year-old vampire who is the Warrior’s Warrior. He is a merciless fighter, he is a King, he is rich, and he is royalty. He contracts to work with another political vampire Alec. He meets a woman named Kate through one of Alec and Larissa’s parties. She is his life mate and he will settle for nothing less than her! She discovers what he is and has many decisions to make! She leaves her life behind to become devoted to him alone! They mate and life is going well! But, they have many enemies set on taking them down..some they would never expect! When a blessing happens the enemies plot to destroy it! Now, Kate has had enough and she wants to train to become a warrior! The book ends in a cliffhanger! I felt that part of the dialogue of just Shade and Kate could have been less, but otherwise, it was a great book!
Shade Medici is sexy, confident, and well-to-do…And a Vampire. Will it be too much for a meek beauty such as Kate Reese, a mere mortal?
From page one, this book grabbed me by the throat and didn’t let go. It has well-developed characters, a perfectly built world, and a unique twist on vampires.
Emily Bex creates a rich, enthralling and epic story with The Medici Warrior Series; The Blood Covenant, book 1 in a 6-book series, is a truly sublime adventure! With a completely enticing combination of fantastical elements and a swoon-worthy romance, I recommend The Blood Covenant to lovers of Historical Fiction, Fantasy and Paranormal Romance. Emily pulls out all the stops, with plenty of steamy sensuality and captivating action, the stunningly constructed world comes to life.
This is more than just a romance read. It is more than just fantasy or paranormal. It is a fight of good against evil, it is the power of faith and love, it is raw desire, IT IS… so much more.
You will smile, cry, laugh, get angry, and for many scenes, you will hold your breath and dare not move until you know the outcome. With The Blood Covenant, Emily Bex has positioned herself among the greatest authors on my shelves. She has placed herself among top authors like Anne Rice and J.R. Ward — I will love reading this one repeatedly.
Medici Warriors Series…WOW! Paranormal at its best. I have waited a long time to read something different and man oh man, Emily Bex delivers. The characters literally jumped off the page and brought you into their world. The romance is steamy and sexy. Their life is adventurous and dangerous with brilliant color and action packed. I could not put it down. Although this is a 700 page book, it was well worth the time. I am HOOKED! Get it now, because Bex is going to be the next author sweeping the paranormal genre…dont be left out!
Shade is a vampire warrior king looking for a mate. Kate is a human who just got out of a relationship. The interesting and exciting romance between Shade and Kate is full of danger, death, deception, loss and intrigue leading them down a road of constant strain and uncertainty. Can’t wait to read the next book.

This is a book that captured and held my imagination from the beginning!
by sewsummore
. It is a long book that takes a considerable amount of time to read and one I enjoyed until the end to discover it is one of six books in the series, and I intend to read every one of them. It begins when Slade, a wealthy Vampire Warrior and renowned trainer of vampire warriors, finds the one woman he has been searching for more than five hundred years. She is his mate, and although she resists his advances, Kate eventually gives in, and he makes her his mate. Sometime in the next book, he will turn her so they can have eternity together. Slade travels to the U.S. at the request of a longtime friend and vampire, Alec. He is a day-walk who had lived as a human for many years and is aiming to become the next President of the United States. His Fiancee, Rissa, is a former college roommate of Kate, and it is through her that Slade and Kate meet. Alec and Rissa are perfect for each other. They both crave power and wealth and don’t care what they have to do to achieve their aim. Neither of them believes Kate is a suitable wife for Slade and work together in an attempt to split them up. Slade has signed a contract to train Alec’s in-effectual soldiers who are employed to rid Washington of a rogue vampire who kills indiscriminately and risk exposing Alec for who he is. Vampires are still a secret society living among humans in this book. Although this book took me a long time to read, I never felt bored with the story. Instead, as each page was turned, I was eager to start the next, so engrossed was I by the story as it unfolded. Kate is a lovely woman who had her heart broken before she met Slade. Wealth and power mean nothing to her, and Slade’s retainers respect and admire her for the beautiful and kind person she is. This book is a book that I recommend with pleasure, and I look forward to reading the other five books in the series.
I received an ARC copy of this book via booksprout and have voluntarily given my honest review.
I love this book I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. The characters are very entertaining.
I love the story of shade and Kat the first book is a bit long and repetitive but stick with it you wont regret it cuz the info from both pov will be useful in the following books its a slow burning intense love story full of action political intrigue and I am in love with the Medici warriors
“You love me for me. Without you I would still be lost, for I have found what I was seeking my whole life, my eternal mate…”
“Allow me to introduce myself…my name is Shade Medici.” The Medici Warriors have been long revered and feared. Shade is their Warrior King and has been existing to fight and destroy rogue vampires for 500 years. With the reputation of ruthlessness as a warrior and a lover, Shade has been called to the DC area to help a fellow Master vampire with an influx of rogue vampires. But when Shade finds himself drawn to a beautiful and feisty redhead, his Beast roars that she will be theirs…at any cost…even if she is a mortal…
Kate Reese has been hurt for the last time by a man. Finding out her fiancé cheated on her is the last straw, and she has sworn never to lose her heart again. But when a chance meeting has her bumping into the most striking, yet deliciously dangerous man, Kate’s heart has other ideas…
Shade and Kate are two souls meant to be mated, but will those around Shade accept his mortal bride, or will their very existence be threatened…
Emily Bex has developed a paranormal world that has combined the troupes of the billionaire alpha male with a smexxy vampire. This romantic saga is filled with intrigue, action and romance told from various points of view. Would recommend to fans of vampire romance!
I have always been a lover of big books and this one is over 700 pages!!! I fell hard for Shade and can’t wait to see more from him and Kate. The romance between them was sexy and steamy. With all the action and mystery this is a page turner so go grab it now! This book is a cliffhanger but book two is already out!
