The Vampire King The Kings Book 1 eBook Heather KilloughWalden

This book is the first book in a new series about the thirteen kings of the supernatural races. It is a spinoff of the Big Bad Wolf series and although it is stated that it does not have to be read prior to reading this series…I have to wonder how true that is.

I really loved the premise of this series and wanted to enjoy watching all the kings find their respective queens. However, I found myself struggling through this book and in the end I had no real pleasure from reading it and it is very unlikely I would ever pick up the next installment.

Evie Farrow is a paranormal romance author and has always been intrigued with everything and anything supernatural, specifically vampires. Even though she believes that the supernatural is fiction, she cannot help but feel as though everything else is so normal and insignificant. Then one day, while attempting to write another book in her favorite coffee shop, she encounters a man she couldn’t even dream up in her most wildest fantasies.

Roman D’Angelo is a three thousand year old vampire king who has been having visions of this women for a few weeks now. He knows he must find her and soon but it comes sooner than he thinks when a warlock threatens her and he is forced to bring her into the world faster than he or she could ever imagine.

Sadly, there was not much about this book that I really enjoyed except for the premise. The relationship between Evie and Roman was extremely superficial and I had a hard time even believing they had an interest in each other let alone loved one another. Furthermore the random POV shifts was, to say the least, beyond confusing and I had a hard time figuring out what the point of them were. In fact, there didn’t really seem to be a point as they were quite useless and I could have completely skipped them and would have still followed the somewhat confusing and unfocused plot.

There were also a lot of unanswered questions in this book especially concerning what Evie actually was. They kept mentioning that she was not 100% human but they never investigated or answered what she was and seeing as how the next installment is a different king and queen, I wonder if we will ever know what she is.

I wish this book was better, I do, but there was just so much going on, not enough questions answered, and way to man POVs for it to be a good book. Sometimes books are hit or miss but I am really actually sad this was a miss for me because I truly would have enjoyed reading about all the kings finding their queens but now I just don’t think I have the effort or the patience to ever continue this series.

The Vampire King The Kings Book 1 eBook Heather KilloughWalden Reviews

The book is about a girl named Evie, who is a paranormal author, no kill shelter volunteer, takes care of her elderly parents (monetarily, take them to appt., and they live out of state from her). She has two brothers, one in armed forces in active duty but the other one lives near their parents and will help out begrudgingly occasionally. Her only income is from her being an author to take care of herself and her parents, so she is always busy writing and can never date. Even if she could, none of the men that she meets can ever measure up to her heros in her books. She has always felt like she has never "fit in" anywhere and what friends she does have, she keeps them at a difference...Until she meets him.. Roman, the King of Vampires, single, no queen, 3,000 years old, Midas rich, and single. When Roman first meets Evie, it's love at first sight for him and likes reading her mind for the first two days of meeting her, until he can't...Roman NEEDS to know what kind of creature she is because now can he not only read her mind, she is so immune to his vampire magic. If this wasn't all bad enough, someone else wants Evie and he's been following her. He has special plans for her and the king, Roman. I have this book a four star only because you have to read (well probably not HAVE too, but it would explain some things in the story if we read the series before this one and it didn't say anything about this being a spin off series either when I bought it). I would also say adults only due to content.
I wanted to like this book far more than I managed to. The world the author creates is interesting and complex enough for plenty of stories. Sadly, the story she told was missing a lot.

We are given little reason to believe the hero and heroine make a good couple. Or even that they would like one another once they got past the "he's hot/she's magical" stage of the proceedings. The heroine reacts - badly, one might even say hysterically - to every bit of information she receives about the hero, even information that should have been good news (on the grounds that she should have had it sooner? Seemed incredibly childish of her). The hero falls in insta...something, no interaction required. Then the plot intervenes.

The plot intervening should have helped, but there was no mystery both the reader and the characters knew who the villain was, why s/he was doing what s/he did, and where to start looking for her/him when the need arose. The only questions were whether the heroine could handle being a little uncomfortable ( the description of what should have been torturous amounted to little more than...discomfort) long enough to avoid doing something stupid, and who would win a fight.

Then there was the totally unexplained (and unnecessary) plot excuse for breaking a certain long-standing law, random characters being set up for future stories but with so little to do with this one that their presence was distracting at best, and the heroine's decision to accept a long- term commitment so far offstage that it's difficult to believe it actually occurred.

Bottom line, I couldn't care about the characters. I was given too little reason to. And to plot was too thin to fix the problem. However, I gave the book two stars instead of one because I did finish the book, and there were enough hints of a better book buried under this one that kept me wanting to know about the characters, wanting to be able to care. Perhaps practice and the author finding the help of a more critical editorial eye would bring me back to her books someday.
