A review by bibliotequeish
The Court of the Undead by F.M. Aden

4.0

Yara and her sister Aylin heard stories of the Vampir, and when Yara is taken, Aylin has reason to believe that she has been taken by the monsters who haunted the stories told to them as children.

With alternating chapters following Yara, a blood slave in the Undying Kings court, and Aylin, trying desperately to save her, this book is a dark fantasy that has a lot of potential.

I loved the back and forth chapters, loved seeing the two sisters as they fight to stay alive and make their way back to one another.
While I love a morally grey love interest, these guys were not morally grey.
There are good guys, morally grey guys, bad guys, really bad guys, and then these guys.
They were awful, and I did not like how quickly the female characters flipped from hating them to caring for them.
One night she is trying to kill him and then the next night she is worried that he is mad at her ?WHAT?
In order for me to enjoy a romance, I need to want the characters to be together, and I do not want these women with any of these lowlifes.
BUT the story is great and I am looking forward to the next book!
