Fresh Fiction Review

Lord Of The Vampires

Reviewed by Heather Lobdell

Romance Paranormal

LORD OF THE VAMPIRES is the first in a stunning new series by several authors. Each author has taken their own character and masterfully woven these four tales together! Gena Showalter has created a vampire who has been trapped in a bed not of his own making...well not entirely his own making. Nicolai was once a crown prince of his kingdom. Until the day that the dark sorcerer came to destroy and take over his world. Thrown across realms in a spell gone array, Nicolai has found himself the object of his once every desire. You see Nicolai was no innocent boy, far from it as he had a different woman every day. His every desire was filled to his satisfaction, leaving little room for the thoughts and needs of others. Now Nicolai has been wiped clean of all his memories. Only one thought remains...he must survive, he must have vengeance, and he must succeed at all costs. First his must find a champion, a woman who will be willing to save him. She must be strong, she must be capable, oh and beauty would help too. His journal must find its way into the right hands or Nicolai fears he may spend eternity here chained, caged, and a slave to a witch. When Jane finds a strange book on her doorstep she has no fears about turning its pages to discover the mysteries that lie within it. After all how bad can one book really be? Little does Jane know that this book has been sent to her across time and space so that she might save a man. What Jane finds is a slave, far from human, and a man who is so savage she is not sure that there is much there worth saving. Compelled by forces beyond her control, Jane will stop at nothing to help Nicolai find himself, his past, and maybe a way into his future. I simply loved this book. A fan of Showalter, I found that this story was one of her best. I felt myself feeling for Nicolai in the same ways that Jane did. I felt the pity, the utter sense of helplessness, and the need to do something to save this beautiful man. Jane was an amazing woman. I loved her wit, her strength, and her determination to find a way to make all things possible. Faced with the reality that she may never find a way home, Jane was surprisingly agile on her feet. She was able to adapt and open her heart to a man that she was not sure there could be a future with. Nicolai was of course a man out of my dreams. He was dark, sensual, and his lust for survival captured me. The strength it took for this one man to survive through years of captivity was phenomenal. The plot was written to entice the reader. The pace set in the beginning of the book never did slow down and it kept me flipping pages just as fast as I could devour them. I must say that LORD OF THE VAMPIRES is one fairy tale that I will never forget!

SUMMARY

Once upon a time…the Blood Sorcerer vanquished the kingdom of Elden. To save their children, the queen scattered them to safety and the king filled them with vengeance. Only a magical timepiece connects the four royal heirs…and time is running out.… Nicolai the Vampire was renowned for his virility, but in a twist of fate "The Dark Seducer" had become a sex slave in the kingdom of Delfina—stripped of his precious timepiece and his memory. All that remained was a primal need for freedom, revenge—and the only woman who could help him. In her dreams, a wanton vampire called to Jane Parker, drawing her to his dark sexuality and his magical realm. But for a human, all was not a fairy tale in Delfina. Jane was the key to Nicolai's memory…but exploiting her meant dooming the only mortal he craved.
