Good afternoon my peeps. today we are starting on novels . I was lucky and I got to start novels a couple of days early. So our first book is a new author to me L.D Wosar and DULCE VEE, book one in the Awakening of a Vampire Queen.
BOOK BLURB
Nearly two years ago, I was nearly dead when Kaysee Belluomo drained me completely of my blood. However, a peculiar angel with a tarnished halo and fangs, by the name of Jarod Fox, came to my rescue and saved my life, albeit by turning me into a vampire.
LET ME START BY SAYING, I DIDN’T ASK TO BE A VAMPIRE, BUT IT’S BEEN, LIKE, THE COOLEST THING EVER.
I was finally acclimated to being a blood-sucking vamp and now I was being considered to be queen of a failing vampire kingdom, after the Reina and Rey were slain. Wow! Is this real life? Lil’ old me? A vampire queen? It was an unrealistic fantasy, which may never come to fruition if Princesa Santana Alamilla, who wanted the crown more, had her way and, kill me.
Who woulda thought this little Rodeo Queen had the potential to be a Vampire Queen? Hell, I didn’t, but I was up for the challenge.
Would I finally meet a Prince Charming to replace the void in my heart every man left? Not sure about that either, but dreams are a wish your heart makes, right?
MY REVIEW
After being attacked by a crazy vampire on a bus Valainah was hanging on by a thread. When an angel that brought her back to life. That angel was a vampire name Jarod. Who with is mentor Rainer have been helping her for the last two years . Once she finally gets a hang of being a vampire things happen and she is thrust into the place she didn't want to go back to Seattle where she is in training for what we are not sure of yet . Some people want her dead and the others want her to become the queen. She really doesn't know who to trust but with Jarod and Rainer's help she might might make it to take over for the queen Alimilla who's family name has been tainted . Valainah is the twin for this queen and they hope they can get her in power. Now she must lead an army to fight queen Alimilla . Will they be able to come out of this alive.
These characters are wild and so much fun to read . Valainah is a tough as nails young woman . She had the world at her feet she had her life mapped out until the day she met her boyfriend and they moved to Seattle. She was a typical young woman with dreams and ambitions. Wise cracking and always pushing the boundaries with the people in power. Jarod is her friend and maker , a fun loving vampire who likes to crack a joke at the wrong time , almost like a father figure in her life. When someone hurts Vee he is the first one to get to her, He is her confidant and honestly her best friend. Rainer well he is kind of a geek lack of a better word . He is always there tsking and shaking his head at Vee . They may feel like they are being driven crazy by Vee , they are her fiercest protectors and family . We also get to know some of the other characters that round out the cast . There are a lot of characters that we meet through out the book . Like Emarosa who trains Vee and well kind of it seems a grudge against her . Each character is well written and you really start to like them and cheer for them.
This is one of those books that can really surprise you . You think it is going to be a brooding dark vampire story. Turns out to be a laugh out loud story that you can get lost in. The main characters fight like they are family but they really do care for each other . You can't help but care for them and laugh at them. This is the first book I have read from this author and I really want to dive into book two in the series to see what happens to everyone. Yes this book leaves you on a cliff hanger but the good thing the second book is out all ready . This could be a fun read for you Halloween week reading list check it out.
