Save a Vamp Take a Crown by Sedona Ashe

4 Stars

A week ago, if someone told me I’d be trying to talk a vampire into feeding from me…

I would’ve laughed in their face.

Love has a way of making people do crazy things.

Zyon is my vampire soulmate, and I have the bite marks to prove it.

But we have to keep our romance a secret… for now.

I can’t imagine being with anyone else, but the vampire queen commanded me to step back and pretend Zyon hasn’t already claimed me as his mate.

I swear, if I see one more woman fawn over him, I might just snap. The only reason I haven’t lost it is because Zyon is making it very clear to every single person in the castle that he only wants me… so the vampire women trying to steal him away from me can suck it!

Adding to my list of worries is the way my body seems to have a mind of its own… as though something inside me is desperate to get out. I have a feeling that whatever is locked away isn’t interested in playing nice with my soon-to-be vampire family.

And did I mention I feel like I’m being watched?

But that’s impossible, right?

Journee puts up with so much in this book. MMC had 0 backbone and that frustrated me soooooo much. The twist at the end was a major surprise and was very interesting. Interested in seeing where the next book takes us.

Save a Life Tell a Lie by Sedona Ashe

4 Stars

Stalker or vampire?

The choice is yours, but if you make the wrong one…

You die.

He’s spent months watching my every move. Stalking me from the shadows, waiting for the right moment.

When he strikes, I’m not ready.

I’m surrounded by strangers, and far from anyone who might have cared, or at the very least, noticed if I suddenly disappeared.

He’s closing the distance, leaving me with a terrifying choice: take my chances with my stalker, or seek help from a monster more powerful than him. Making the wrong choice could cost me my life.

Risking it all, I throw myself at an extraordinarily handsome stranger. A stranger who just happens to be a vampire. He also happens to be the crown prince of vampires, and he’s disgusted by humans.

I haven’t even been bitten yet, and my life already sucks.

It’s too late to rethink my plan, and I’m out of options. I beg the stranger to claim he knows me.

Instead, the vampire claims me.

But my stalker isn’t ready to admit defeat, and the vampire I sought refuge with isn’t willing to let me go.

A stalker. A vampire. A choice that might end my life.

This was on the shorter side but such a good read. It’s not a complete story and you do need to read the next one. There’s no development in the characters or world building but it still worked for me. I do wish there was some world building to explain things but still loved it.

Bad Prince by Lilian Monroe

2.5 Stars

Prince Charlie must select a bride, or his father will. To help him a ball is given where he meets the woman of his dreams, Elle. The problem she’s not exactly who the King would be happy with his son bring homing. Since he can’t be with her in the open, he will meet her in secret until he comes up with a plan to keep her forever. However, the king has his own plans and forces Charlie’s hand into marrying someone else. Will he find a way to be with her?

How was she not furious with him that he abandoned her when she was pregnant to marry someone else?!?!?!? Then he finally is able to come back, and he proposes right before she is due, and all is forgiven. She spent months alone and she doesn’t even hesitate to take him back. I was so disappointed. It wasn’t bad until this point in the book. It had a good pace with a lot of smexy time. I wanted more world building and more info on the prince’s family and FMC history. Overall, it was ok but needed work.
