My rating: 5/5

I was so excited when I knew that the sequel of Chronicles of Yavn would be on Tyra and Anton that I couldn't pass over the chance to read and enjoyed it, of course!!!

The first book in this series was so refreshing: it's taking a new turn in vampires’ stories: mixing up paranormal aspect such as vampires with supernatural powers but also including a new kind of threat: wizards. Wizards??? Yes you read it right, Elisabeth Staab, the author, was able to give us, vampires’ lovers, and a different and thrilling new kind of vampire story.
 
In this sequel, the reader will be thrown into the dark side (well there isn't a bright side...) world of the wizards. You will learn more about their purpose, their hierarchy and more because Prince of Power is mainly about Anton, one of the Wizard Master sons. We met Anton briefly in the first book, where Tyra was working. At the end of the first book we understand that we might hear more about Anton and the wizards. For those of you who didn't read the first book, you should skip this portion: Anton was supposed to gather information about Tyra and bring her to the wizard leader (his own father) but instead, his kind of fell in love with her! From this very moment Anton's life will never be the same, for the readers own pleasure!

I liked Tyra's character, she's strong and intelligent. She's a kick-ass girl and has a mind of her own. I think the readers will identify and get attached easily with her because she won't back down from what she want and need and she's really fond of Anton!

Anton was an interesting character, in fact it was probably the first time I read about a man who isn't a perfect lover, had a bunch of women he can't even remember the faces and his the ultimate love machine, I liked to discover all these sensations, emotions and feeling with him.

The one that really impressed me was Xander character and everything happening to him. He's dark, mysterious and crushed by a horrible past. I love damaged character!

And actually, can't wait to read Lee & Alexia story (is Shiddoh will made an appearance in this duo?)

Page Turner: Yes!

Series: Yes!  (Chronicles of Yavn #2)

Stand Alone: No, I recommend you to read the first book in this series first!

Hotness: Anton Yes, but I'm still not over Lee :P

Proserpine Recommendation: If you already read the first book of this series: King of Darkness, I totally recommend you to read this sequel! If you crave vampire stories and want to read something a little bit different, this series is for you too! Finally, if you are a PNR lovers you should totally put this series on your Must-Read list! BUY/BORROW/STEAL, whatever it takes!

About Elisabeth:

Elisabeth StaabElisabeth Staab still lives with her nose in a book and at least one foot in an imaginary world. She believes that all kinds of safe and sane love should be celebrated but she adores the fantasy-filled realm of paranormal romance the best. She lives in the Washington DC area
with her family and one big scared cat, where she loves to spend time with good friends, go dancing, collect wacky coffee mugs from which to drink her favorite beverage, and sing off-key in her kitchen (when she isn't making characters fall in love, that is).
