Allure of the Vampire King: A paranormal romance (Blood Fire Saga Book 1)
T**T
hmm okay
Overall i liked the way the author wrote her style or ease of reading. however right from the beginning even though the vamp king was very handsome/attractive but i was put off as we usually are in a enemies to lover story line. however in this book it isnt really enemies to lovers. We had the build of why we hate the vamp king but instead of him changing to be someone better for her or i cant quite describe the feeling of a lack of something that made him see like a good choice for our FMC:SPOILER/rant :D : All that happened is that we find that all along someone implanted false memories in her that made him seem the baddy. but still the feeling of how he was portrayed was still there, it didnt magically disappear because he told her that. also it was hard to believe that all of a sudden something that she believed for 3 yrs was wrong/ a misunderstanding. how do we know he's telling her the truth /why would she believe him straight away jump into bed with him straight after. Also the whole time he was just hiding the answers to the FMC (female main character) questions that would have solved everything for no reason at all. which overall left a bad taste in my mouth and just made me really want any of the other guys mentioned in passing to be the FMC love interest, even the cat (LOL not really) all except Jonathon.Also with over 400 pages one would hope for some more story development/ progress and ive just read the blurbs for the following to books and it seems that the issues raised towards the end of the book (it also ended in a cliff hanger) havent been solved by book three. It feels like this book hasnt had a proper ending, its almost like a beginning of a book which will continue in the next books without the typical beginning, middle and end in each book, just one continuos book/story. additionally there was alot of description on how the world/buildings looked which i didnt mind.In terms of buying the next book, i was is two minds about getting the next one because i enjoyed the story that didnt have him in it, but it really came down to the fact that i didnt like the vamp king as love interest (not that there's any others). i doubt i would read this again.I would have rated the book a 2.5 but i enjoyed readability of the authors writing, if that makes sense. I like how she writes the book but not the characters. So i would def be open to reading a different series of her.

Allure of the Vampire King
Allure of the Vampire King (Blood fire saga book 1) by Bella Klaus is a 4 ⭐️ read.Mera grew up surrounded by supernatural beings but she was what is known as a neutral, she had no magical abilities. After a relationship with the vampire king went wrong she moved to live in London surrounded by normal humans. When the vampire king shows up again after 3 years, Mera is still angry but he tells her she’s in danger and he wants to help but she wants nothing to do with him. Things start to change for Mera after this, things she had thought true turned out not to be and she found out she did have magical abilities but not the good kind.I’m really on the fence with this book, I didn’t dislike it but at the same time I’m not really sure I liked it, the rating is because the characters were well written and the story did flow really well, I’m going to try read the next book in the series at some point and maybe see if my opinion will change.

Best vampire story I've read in ages
Full of action, fear, love and intrigue. I loved it, can't wait to get book 2, and a great cliffhanger

This series is going to be addictive!!!
Welcome to your new Addiction! This is a really good Paranormal Romance read full of twist and turns which in themselves create some surprises that you just don't see coming.Mera is a great character broken but strong at the same time whilst Valentine is Broody and i expect that the book 2 will define his character further he has definately captured my attentionWell written and despite a couple of reviews a really good storey line, something tells me that if the stories were crammed together they would have been complaining that the book was rushed. For me I appriciate the time and effort that this author has put in to developing her characters and world building and don't think it was drawn out at all. It's a very well written balanced storey line that will draw you in and the first few books are a rapid release so any cliff hangers really are not an issue when the next book release is only a week or so away.

A fab read
I don't knw what I was expecting, but after reading some of the less flattering reviews, I was not expecting this book to be as good as it was.I enjoyed this read a lot, I'm currently nose deep in book 2 and enjoying it immensely.The main characters grow as the book progresses, all is not what is seems and i cannot wait to read through the rest of this series.This is my first read from this author, and her writing style, imagination and attention to character detail, without dragging it all out or rushing things to quick are fab.I look forward to reading more from this author

Good.
Took a while to get into it, like half the book before any decent action happened but once it started it was a good read! Can't wait to start the next one!
