chez_jaeAt work today, I finished reading Lord of the Vampires by Gena Showalter. It's in the Nocturne series, and it's the first book in the "Royal House of Shadows" verse, which was written by four different authors.
Jane Parker has been dreaming of a seductive vampire, calling to her for help. When she receives a mysterious book in the mail, Jane is drawn into Nicolai's world, which is in an alternate universe. Nicolai is a prince who has had his memories taken from him before he was sold as a sex slave. Jane helps rescue him from the depraved princess who has been holding him captive.
The story was dark and exotic, violent and sexy. Not an ounce of fluff in this one! Personally, I found it a bit too intense. I know I have at least one other "Royal House of Shadows" book on my shelf, although I'm not rushing to read it next. The story was well-told and gripping, which earns it four stars:
★★★★
