The Key to ErebusTHE FRENCH VAMPIRE LEGEND: BOOK ONEHe’s waited centuries for her return. She’s only just discovering her true powers. Inexorably drawn to the dark, Jéhenne Corbeaux soon discovers, Corvus holds much more than the key to her heart.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I loved all the twists and unexpected turns, I feel like I knew the characters as friends. Very rare that a book does that for me.” ~ Amazon … Very rare that a book does that for me.” ~ Amazon customer review
Taken away as a small child, from a life where vampires, the Fae, and other mythical creatures are real and treacherous, the beautiful young witch, Jéhenne Corbeaux, is totally unprepared when she returns to rural France to live with her eccentric Grandmother.
Protected, sheltered, and lied to her whole life, Jéhenne doesn’t know who to trust. Her strange and powerful grandmother? Handsome shifter Felix? Or perhaps a powerful vampire whose first instinct is to kill her?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A vibrant and exciting world of all things paranormal. Vampires (of course), Witches (naturally), Shapeshifters, Ghouls, Fae… even an Angel and an Incubus settle comfortably into a story arc with endless possibilities.” ~ Amazon customer review
Thrown headlong into this frightening world, she seeks to learn the truth about herself and is forced to trust her own instincts rather than take anything at face value. Along the way she uncovers secrets more shocking than anything she could ever have imagined and finds that she is by no means powerless to protect the ones she loves.
Yet despite her Gran’s dire warnings, she is captivated by the dark magic of Corvus, an ancient vampire and powerful Master of the Albinus family.
Jéhenne is about to find the answers she searched for but in doing so she risks discovering that the truth really can kill.

Lost myself in this one. Great read for a rainy day. I love characters who are realistic in their actions. These characters are wonderful. All sorts of misunderstandings, plot twist, and general mayhem. I will definitely purchase the rest of the books in this series. Lose your self in fantasy with this one. Endearing characters.
Zut alors! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Hooked me in and made me want to find out more, plus also allowed me to brush up on my rusty French.
Love this series
This was an amazing book. I could not put it down, because I fell in love with the way the setting and characters were perfectly set.
This book was simply amazing. I have to say I was very sceptical about a “paranormal romance”, but I was desperate for something to read and I LOVE Emma Leech, so I started reading it. Man–when I tell you I was hooked from the first page, I was sucked it. I finished this book in one day and will be staying the next book after I finish this review. While this is paranormal romance, it does take place in modern day times. I don’t know how Emma can write about such abnormal things, but make them quite ordinary and real, but she does and it’s amazing. Yes, that’s the word i keep using -AMAZING-and it’s the only one that’s appropriate. I DEFINITELY recommend this book!
I loved this book so much I can’t wait to read the next book in the series! Wonderful characters, amazing descriptive world building, this book makes you never want to put it down! Highly recommend it!!!
Loved this series. Wish they’d do an audible version
Emma Leech is a masterful story weaver. The magical characters are complex and interact with contemporary society. I admit to some frustration with the heroine’s youthful blunders, and I fear what’s in store for her passionate relationship with the vampire (yes, this is a “to be continued” saga).
I didn’t think I’d like another story about a whiny teenager who comes into her powers and understanding, but somehow this one just felt better than many. It was in the south of France and seemed fully fleshed out in who all these people had been for a very long time, when the girl happens upon them all, learning about who she is and what she can do to help. I enjoyed the story line and it helped me to get over her.
Loved it and the others in the series. Could not put it down.
Really unusual take on vampires and witches. Lots of action and intrigue. Couldn’t put it down and need the next installment like, right now!!
A young stubborn girl estranged from her parents goes to live with her crazy cranky grandmother. Then the strangest things start to happen to her. This girl can just not catch a break. While she is trying to find out who and what she is, choices must be made that will effect not only her but her loved ones throughout eternity. This book and the entire series is a wild romantic ride with many twists. Enjoy the read.
Writing and plot were better a third in. Good effort, like the background world. Enjoyed second 8n series, too.
Heroine did things simply to move the plot. Otherwise a good read.
A nice easy read that keeps your attention.
The overview sounded so interesting,but I was let down when I started reading. I really love most paranormal books, I usually put myself in the book, but this book was disappointing. I got so irritated and frustrated that I stopped reading in the middle. I wouldn’t recommend this book at all.
Awesome book
I loved this book! It is an action packed story that is very difficult to put down. The characters have interesting personalities and very varied backgrounds. Witches, vampires, gods, ghouls, demons, and humans are all included in this romantic, supernatural page turner. I would highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys this genre.
Very will written. I enjoyed it so much I read all of them in the series and then started on other books by this author. Looking forward to the next one!
Slow at first but does not take long to pull you in! Highly recommend it!
