Mass Market Paperback, 352 pages

This first book in a hot, edgy, dark paranormal romance series from a debut author has all the right stuff: a deep urban fantasy feel, a take-no-crap tough heroine and a sexy, arrogant vampire king who gets his comeuppance.
Isabel Anthony has lived a carefree existence masquerading as human, but when this party-girl meets the king of vampires, her world turns deep, dark, and dangerous double-quick. Thad Morgan is looking for the prophesied mate who will unlock his powers. But when he finally finds Isabel in a seedy nightclub, he thinks fate must have gotten it wrong.
My rating 5 / 5
Thad and Isabel were the perfect characters that blend
into a stunning and delectable well written story about vampires, wizards (???)
and a prophecy who's mixed up to create an enthralling, fast-paced and original
PNR book.
I'm a vamps freak and I totally fell for this new take
on vampire’s story. Hell yeah, vampires against wizards, I don't read a lot
about this in PNR world! This one was new to me and I was instantly transported
into this lethal world!
The story was more based on the prophecy between Thad,
the future king of vampires, and is mate to-be Isabel, who's living outside the
vampires ''stronghold''. The vampires and wizards are at war for centuries: the
wizard, by stealing the life force (that's the way I understand it) of the
vampire and by doing so, killing the poor vamp, obtains more power.
Isabel is kinda an outcast by living outside the wall
of the vampire’s city, but when she meet Thad, the reaction/attraction between
them is undeniable and she totally freak out. Even if Thad is handsome, super
sexy and seems to take a great care of his people: all he wants is to be able
to protect the vampires and find his true mate. The romance between them was
wild and hot so I give my hot chocolate love!
I really love the use of humour in this story. The
author Elisabeth Staab did a really good job with this first book of the
Chronicles of Yavn #1. I enjoy the world she created and I was eager to read
something different about vampires. There were some sad moments that almost
make me cry and some pretty funny too! I love to read about arrogant and strong
male who falls for the beautiful/kick-ass female! I don't want to sell all the
punch so I won't say more, but I truly recommend this book to every vampire’s
fans and PNR lovers.
You really should get your copy! Beware of hot and
sexy scenes O.o
