And a journey that will unite them–or break them apart forever.LuanaI’m the alpha of the Dark Vale pack–or I was, until my crown was taken from me by a bloodthirsty female called Isalia who doesn’t deserve to rule. If I want to overthrow her and reclaim my pack, I’m going to need some help. Keeran and I put Queen Thea on her … I put Queen Thea on her throne, but I’m unsure if the lonely warlock is still alive… or if he’s still has feelings for me. I want to search for Keeran, but my wolves come first, and I might be forced to make a choice between them.
Keeran
I never forgot about Luana. I never forgot she had obligations, either. Most of my life has been spent alone, and I plan to keep it that way, until I’m told there’s a group of warlocks just like me somewhere out there. If Luana wants me to aide her in bringing down Isalia, she’ll have to help me achieve an impossible task: finding the warlock coven, and becoming a legendary Warlock Lord.
But things are complicated. I have a tainted past that still gives me nightmares. Yes, I want Luana. But the closer she gets to me, the more danger she’s in…
A kick-ass paranormal romance with bite and intrigue, The Warlock Lord is the perfect balance of seduction, suspense, and surprising secrets. Readers will love this new adult tale of wolves, warlocks, and magic. The first in a brand-new series!

This books follows 2 of the main characters from the first books but dwells more on their story. Was well written, good character development, action, magic and many supernatural beings. Luana (who has my name) sort of irked me in this book and seemed somewhat immature from the previous books. Some spelling and grammar errors but not a lot. Overall good series.
Good book . I couldn’t put it down. It was really interesting to read this. It did pull me in and kept me in which I liked. I wasn’t drawn to it by the cover but mostly by the blurb. I may end up rereading it again this year. It was so good and a five star book.
The Warlock Lord by Juliana Haygert a five-star read that will thrill you. This is the first novel in the Rite World: Rite of the Warlock series and oh you will adore it. We have met Luana and Keeran the Rite World: Rite of the Vampire series but you don’t need to have read that series’ first, I do not know how I missed the start to this series, its blooming amazing, what a thrilling ride. You won’t know if you are coming or going in the best way possible. Juliana keeps you guessing she has a great talent for giving you just enough to keep you hooked, but not too much that it tells you everything, the will they wont they, who’s the baddie? The talent just keeps you hooked. I am so excited for the rest of this series!!
Juliana Haygert is back with her spinoff series of the Rite World. The Warlock Lord is a continuation/spinoff that continues the story of characters that we met in the vampire series. In this book, Keeran is moving forward from the old life that he was subjected to – being a slave to the witches and used by them when they so desired. The new witch Queen is treating him right and allowing him to do what he wishes. But there is a desire in his heart…to learn what happened to his mother. Add in that he wishes to get away from the witches who resent him and wish to see him banished or dead. Then there is Luana…the young werewolf that we meet…the new alpha of her pack…but not respected. She’s determined to do good by her pack, but how can she when so few respect her and then there are those who seek to pressure her into taking a mate..and forcing the mating bond. These two characters are familiar with each other, and Fate is about to throw them back together for a fight that is to come.
The Warlock Lord by Juliana Haygert is one of those books that once you recognize the characters you were rooting for from before you just grab and scurry away to hide and read. This book is fantastic! I had to put this book down twice and I practically howled having to do so. The situations that these characters find themselves in are engaging, and to see things blooming between them makes the heart beat faster. I love Luana’s concern for her pack despite how they treat her. I want nothing more than for her to succeed. Keeran is an engaging character, and I love how he develops as a character. At this point, I’d say that he’s my favorite so far. He’s flawed, but he knows and understands that he’s flawed. Now! I’m not saying that Keeran doesn’t annoy me at one point either. I narrow my eyes at him when he starts acting like he’s going to blindly trust someone simply because they spin a pretty tale. I’m glad he comes to his senses though.
I enjoyed this story so much. My only complaint would have to be how Luana handles certain situations. I understand that she’s a werewolf and impulsive and short tempered, but I wanted her to take a moment. I get that what Keeran and Drake did wasn’t great, but I don’t want her being a petulant child behind what has already happened! It’d be different if everyone could turn back time and do things over again, but I doubt she would have preferred that.
All in all, this book is amazing! For those who don’t like cliffhangers…sorry not sorry but this book comes with a big one. My eyes nearly bugged out of my head when the ending came like it did. I almost howled with frustration because I NEED to know what happens next!! I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. Fast-paced, engaging, lots of unique characters, and so much more! This book is a MUST read!
Great start of a new series.
Luana was not comfortable with her position of alpha, but losing it, she sees it’s much worse now. Keeran found his haven with the witch queen Thea and her family, but a twist of fate sends him on a mission he would have never been able to foresee. Uniting their forces, the two of them go on a journey full of adventure and intense feelings, not knowing whether they come out of the whole situation together and stronger than ever, or will lose it all.
A fast pacing story with gradually building tension and intensity. This paranormal romance plays the readers emotions and rises the heat, binding magic with primal, raw emotions and political machinations. Power play dominates the plot drivers, setting both protagonists into precarious positions. As more secrets are uncovering, the connection between reader and the characters intensifies and brings out more fun from the reading experience.
Omg! What? Wow! This hooked me from the start and I have to say I cannot wait for the next book! Action packed, filled with twists and turns, magical and mystical, this is definitely a fab paranormal romance with a bite!
Great story. Wonderful, conflicted characters. Plenty of action and adventure. Lots of loyalty and betrayal. Beware: this sequence has just begun. I look forward to how it progresses and concludes a few books from now.
I received a copy of this book as a gift. I am leaving my honest review.
Oh my goodness…..I’m so happy Juliana is writing a spin-off to “Rite Of The Vampire” because of the great characters, a spin-off series only makes sense and I’m loving it already!
The Warlock Lord is definitely a 5 star read! Character definition, well developed storyline and world building that on a higher level! So ready for the next book!!!
This book is the first in the series Rite of the Warlock series. It is a spin-off of the Rite of the Vampire series but you don’t have to rad Rite of the Vampire to get into this series. That said, if you missed Rite of the Vampire, you need to grab them up now! About this this book, this story of Luana and Keeran, two of my favorites from the Rite of the Vampire series is so compelling. It touches on raw emotion and beats with action. I can’t wait to get book 2.
I have that giddy happy feeling one gets when a favorite author comes out with a really great new series. The author here is Juliana Haygert and the the series is Rite World: Rite of the Warlock of which The Warlock Lord is book 1. And it’s sooooo good. Read the publisher’s blurb. Luana and Kieran’s story is precisely the promised “kick-ass paranormal romance”. It’s also a great adventure with thrills and unexpected twists and turns. Add together a great plot and superb character building (even the characters you want to hate) and tie it all together with top-notch writing. This is the result you get. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises. The book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.

I read the Rite of the Vampire by Juliana Haygert and I am so happy she decided to write this spin off. I love it and all the characters! This book extends on some of the world we already learned about in the Rite of the Vampire. This was a great new series!
I am looking forward to reading more about Luana and Keeran! They are both drawn to each other. There is so much suspense between these two! For three quarters of the book I was yelling at them to just kiss already! Finally right at the end! Ugh and the mating and then running that Luana did! I was so mad at her! She should have told Keeran!
Juliana… I need the next book in the series now! I have to know what happens! Was it Soren or Isalia that took Luana and Wyatt? OMG I have to know! Or maybe they are conspiring together?
