Reviews with content warning for Abortion - Court of the Vampire Queen

This book is very fast paced in the beginning, a lot of smut, in the first half of the book, but once you reach the middle of the book, the story starts to slow down. I agree with the other reviews that the plot didn't seem to have a great storyline and there seems like things were piecemealed together. I also agree that the main character could've had a better character development throughout the book.

TLDR: if you like vampire smut, and a lot of it, this book is for you. If not, the plot isn't the strongest so you might want to pass.

This book was like a big, embarrassing, fanfiction of every piece of vampire media that's ever been popular in mainstream culture. It was a spicy novel Frankenstein-ed to death with plot devices from other vampire books and movies. I can't say that I did not enjoy it in, it was certainly spicy and that is definitely one thing that I can say that this author writes well. The rest of it... the characters and plot specifically? Lazy. Everything that happened aside form the spice was conveniently wedged in to justify every fantastical thought the author dreamed up. I understand that it's a fantasy and there is a measure of suspended disbelief required but if an author is going to set a book like this in the real world, they should attempt to make it at least a little bit realistic. The main character was nothing special, typical erotica protagonist archetype. Questionable parentage, daughters of a prominent figure, unidentified powers, ends up being more important than everyone thought, etc. Also everything that went wrong she blamed on herself and that felt gross to me. Overall, it was.... fun and the writing was baseline fine. Nothing special and not life changing.

I wouldn’t say this book was life-changing, by any means…but the characters were fun and the smut was good. Solid read if you’re looking for a blush-worthy vampire romance!

This book was definitely enjoyable and a very fast read. I LOVED the first Act: Sacrifice. It was sooo sexy and fun to read, the rest (act 3 especially the last 50-100 pages) kind of dragged. There’s a good amount of plot mixed in with A LOTTTT OF SPICE. This was my first reverse harem and so I didn’t know what to expect but I was actually pleasantly surprised, despite a lot of the writing feeling kind of wattpad-y. It’s definitely good for vampire fans wanting to relive our middle school wattpad era or just a fun fast read (despite being 476 pages you just zoom through!!). I really wish we had gotten more of a build between just Mina and Malachi, once the other men were introduced it just kind of stopped developing. AND KATEE LOVES TO TALK ABOUT HOW BIG THIS MAN IS PLZ. And the plot was very easily resolved lol every single time, it could have been built up so much more!!
