Vampire Knights:
Lancelot’s Lilly #1 – Very interesting and unique Preface. I love the poem snippet. I was in hog heaven reading this lil’ gem. I love the twist with the time travel. I wasn’t too excited about reading about Lancelot and Guinevere, OD’d as a kid, BUT I love what was done with their story. I like many of the characters, including Briar, and Sir Bors is cool; like his style and his personality. Another well written, well thought out story with interesting characters and twists that keeps the reader immersed in the pages as they fly by too quickly to the end. But it looks like there will be another story highlighting another main character in the future. Yeah! 5*
Arthur’s Rose #2 – What else would you want when you’ve got time travel, the Round Table crew, vampires and witches and fae? OK, maybe a glass of wine, too. I couldn’t put this book down. It was fast paced, action packed with a whole lotta of happenings – good and bad. The characters are getting better and more interesting, especially Nimue who’s shining so bright she could have her own story.
Briar is doing a great job herself and she’s the lady of the third book The Bastard’s Briar. Don’t expect a straight line plot since the well written, multiple story lines keep the reader immersed in the drama, the hopes, the romances and the sexual tensions. I enjoyed the lyric at the beginning of the book, along with the intriguing Preface. There’s infrequent use of vulgar language and a sex scene for those who care. 5*
The Bastard’s Briar #3 – Man, this book is the best! The narrative is mesmerizing; the descriptions vivid; the action fast paced; and the main characters are great. I loved the well thought out story line. Briar is awesome; yeah, she’s a vampire, but I love the way she thinks and acts. This story never slowed down and the ride the reader is taken on is awesome. There’s a lot of substance to this tale; like a stew made with everything, including the kitchen sink. There’s plenty of humor and some of the quotes are belly laugh makers.
I love the poetry that precedes the preface and first chapter; adds a spicy taste to the tale. I always appreciate the preface since I like knowing about a story before I read it. I contacted the author to review her books and received this delightful story. 5*
Sir Bors’ Belle #4 – Wow, what a pagan! This book ends the series but sets up the spinoff series, which will be interesting to read; no cliffhangers, just hints. Well written and mesmerizing, the intrigue and suspense latch onto the reader and don’t turn loose until the last page. Fast paced and action packed, everything comes together and the emotions run high. The characters are still awesome with some new ones to boot.
While the third book was my favorite of the four, this one comes close. These books are best read in order to get the full enjoyment and the continuously built upon storylines, but this book is still an entertaining read on its own. Now’s the perfect time for chain readers since all four books are released; no waiting! I contacted the author to review her books. 5*
Vampire Knights end.
