Lissa is dorsum trying to stop the evil vampires and their terrorist minions doing nefarious things for reasons (it would exist nice if they actually explained a piffling of why they're doing this across EVIL AND EVIL Infinite ELVES)

She has her bag of tricks and super powers to finish them – but she has to do that with her ternion constantly being pulled past the men in her life. Her fathers, her husbands, they all take plans for her, they all have an agenda and they all have uses for her. Whether she wants it

Lissa is back trying to stop the evil vampires and their terrorist minions doing nefarious things for reasons (it would be nice if they actually explained a little of why they're doing this beyond EVIL AND EVIL SPACE ELVES)

She has her bag of tricks and super powers to stop them – but she has to do that with her leash constantly beingness pulled by the men in her life. Her fathers, her husbands, they all take plans for her, they all accept an agenda and they all accept uses for her. Whether she wants information technology or non

Ok, I'grand going to write a lot almost the toxic trainwreck that is Lissa'southward relationships in this book so I'grand going to cover everything else briefly before diving into that cess puddle

The writing/plot in general –lazy lazy lazy. Nosotros have aliens dropping in for no other reason than to be ridiculously powerful and scatter deux ex plot-solvers in their wake. We have alien worlds that are still less conflicting than Ohio – seriously, Lissa would accept more culture shock travelling to Communist china than she would accept going to these worlds. We accept a species of proto-vampires which in any other book may have been an interesting way to develop an actual culture and a style for vampires to exist as an contained species – but no, this is a useful slave species who are also useful food. This is about it.

Which applies, pretty much, to Lissa's powers of well. Super misting that lets her kill everyone. The bodily power to smell evil to render any kind of tracking, investigation or questioning or whatever bodily piece of work completely moot. Every come across is just resolved by throwing super powers at it.

We take the same minimal diversity – another world with almost no female supernaturals because REASONS, gay characters who lurk in the background and POC largely being absent (but nosotros have a sinister Eye-Eastern terrorist)

Now the cess pool. This volume continues on the series' habit of having one of the worst relationships I've encountered. And, ye gods, that is saying something considering what I accept read

Lissa's history of abuse actually exacerbates everything because all of her reaction to the terrible way everyone – and especially Gavin – inflicts on her is all blames on her past and being such a frail fragile female, bless her little overnice heart. Him screaming and breaking things in a raging snit because she dares to not obey him causes her to collapse in terror – and it's because she's delicate, non because he's abusive. And everyone's supposed to accept that his behaviour isn't abusive because he won't hit her – that's the toxic message of this book; if he doesn't hit her, it's non abuse. He tin scream and yell. He can swear and rage for hours. He tin turn down to listen to her and berate her. He tin can exist a constant reminder of the fact he once imprisoned and threatened to accept her killed. But information technology'due south not "abuse" if information technology'south not violent… apparently (and the constant underlying threat of violence doesn't count?).

And all of this is doubly articulate past how AWARE Lissa is of his disapproval, of his emotions – it's the hyper-enlightened reaction of an abuse victim constantly worried near his reaction. She's constantly worried near how Gavin volition react – even when defying him and doing her own matter anyway it's with full acknowledgement of the fact that Gavin volition disapprove and there will be consequences.

This doesn't just apply to Gavin – just near every relationship she has with the men in this book (and they are ALL men. There are two teeny tiny female roles that barely announced otherwise it's all men men men) is toxic. In fact, except for one FBI agent and some tiny side characters, they all slot into 3 categories:

The story of Lissa, the unintentional (and unconventional!) vampire continues. The character development is rich and satisfying. Lissa becomes acquainted with her real father, who is instrumental in helping her understand her unique abilities and perchance how she can use them for the edification of the universe. Lissa'southward contentious relationship with the vampire aristocracy, and particularly the vampire council, escalates equally she grows in her abilities in spite of the constant efforts by the men in her life to command her. Their inability to adapt their relationships with Lissa, considering her increasingly powerful abilities as she develops into a full Vampire Queen, is a constant source of frustration for Lissa. She is faced with perceived physical violence, mental cruelty that evokes disturbing memories and emotions from her past, and efforts at intellectual and emotional control over her by nearly all the men who surround her. But along with her blossoming talents equally a Queen, Lissa's enormous power to forgive those transgressions by the people she loves but expands even further.

The storyline likewise advances, finding Lissa and crew in a cat and mouse game of chase with the evil vampire Xenides, who is determined to destroy the vampire aristocracy and to possess Lissa, and all of her unique abilities, for himself. The denouement is fast paced and very satisfying, leaving the reader feeling like he just pushed back from a delicious meal! And at that place'southward more to come! Lissa is whisked off at the terminal moment to engage in battle and attempt to salve the forces of good ... Well, you'll just have to wait for Blood Queen for that story!

MAJOR SPOILERS THROUGHOUT:
I liked this book. While it definitely wasn't my favorite in the series, in that location were certain elements in it that weren't present before and I really enjoyed those aspects. The book was fast paced for the nigh function and did have some really heartfelt moments that I enjoyed.

I liked this book. While it definitely wasn't my favorite in the series, at that place were certain elements in it that weren't present before and I actually enjoyed those aspects. The book was fast paced for the most part and did accept some really heartfelt moments that I enjoyed.
I felt like this book symbolized where Lissa was earlier (past existence a female person vampire) to where she has come up (past at present existence a Queen). She has grown a lot throughout the series. Lissa might make some bad decisions when it comes to the controlling men in her life, just she is a strong female character who has had then much character development. Each book brings new obstacles and more hardships her way and she just keeps fighting and fighting. That is strength to me. The ability to keep getting up once again every time someone knocks you lot downwardly. When you feel like the walls are crumbling downwards and yous merely want to give up but you keeping fighting. Lissa does that in EVERY installment and it truly amazes me how she has inverse and grown so much only is still the same person she was when the series started. In that location are a few times where she gets on my nerves and I disagree with her decisions (specially where Gavin and the rest of the males are concerned) just I still really love and admire her character.
If you haven't seen my previous reviews, I will say information technology once more... I hate Gavin. I feel like his human relationship with Lissa is toxic and unhealthy. I experience like she didn't have a say in starting the human relationship and she sure as hell didn't have a say in this "marriage" between them. Gavin is emotionally and mentally abusive and I feel like the characters in the book overlook information technology because it isn't physically abuse, which is not okay. This book but proved that more. At one point, Gavin gets and then angry that he starts clenching his fists like he is going to striking Lissa, which causes her to have a total emotional and mental breakup. I feel like Gavin does fashion more than harm than skillful to Lissa and I really dislike their human relationship. At this point, I think Gavin is here to stay (at to the lowest degree in Lissa's mind) and I have just accepted information technology. I know she ends up with more than mates and I'chiliad not going to let Gavin ruin the series for me. I don't care about his character at all. I wouldn't bat an eyelash if he died, I just don't recall that is going to happen so I'g over it.
The reason this book got a low rating for me was considering of the plot. I don't know if information technology was because I loved the concluding volume so much or if it was just not for me, but I felt like the plot dragged and didn't really pick upwardly until the last 40 pages or so.
While I didn't like the plot of the novel, I did really savour the character development and the emotional scenes we got. I cried over René's death which I honestly wasn't expecting. I as well cried when Lissa institute out almost Greg. I definitely felt more connected with Lissa and the other characters by the terminate of the book.
Honorable Mention: Roff. He was a breath of fresh air and every fourth dimension he was in a scene, I smiled. He was and then devoted to Lissa and I cried when he had to go home. I really promise to see more than of him in the future because he was honestly my favorite function of the whole book. That cliff-hanger is killing me and I am itching to start the next book which I volition be doing soon. ...more than

This was good, just I see and then much that feels similar a repeat. I estimate if I had read this starting time I'd have thought it about Reah'southward books. Lissa is forced to practice behest for the Quango and isn't able to make her ain choices, much (view spoiler)[ similar Reah was pushed by the Alliance (hide spoiler)]. It's a bit annoying to see this pattern, but I go over it because the story is interesting and I experience like I need to know what happens.

On the flip side, I do not like Gavin. He's kind of an abuser or has abuser looking tendencies. She does something, and he flips out. She gets injured, he flips out. That got old and then far, and Lissa allowing Gavin to do that to her fabricated me feel bad about Lissa. Encounter in Reah'southward book she's a very stiff person, so I'm having to reconcile that person with this person who hasn't been through the things of the Lissa I've seen. Basically I'm starting with Lissa not being a strong person because she's having her growth at present, and I saw the results first. And then while I understand Lissa cries a lot, and has these problems I take to remind myself that she is going through the change of character growth. So no fault to the author on that. And so I feel like Lissa is weak. Which in some ways she is, compared to the futurity. But she is likewise strong, so I continue to read these stories while the men in these serial tromp all over the women "for the greater proficient". Only I can't await for Lissa to start owning her actions when she finally can make decisions for herself.

Where we leave off sucks though, simply I suspect we come across some mates. Hopefully Lissa doesn't feel too desperately about it. I honestly have issues with her loyalty to Gavin, I don't experience like he earned it. I long for deeper connexion, all I meet them practise is argue, take sex, talk, argue. Blah. But I'yard still invested, I want to see her with the other guys.

I don't know how I keep up with them but somehow I practise.

To exist honest, I don't remember anyone merely Ms. Suttle could twist me in this many knots and fling me from romance, to UF, then SF multiple times over. I am never bored, I don't want to skip, and I like the messiness that is Lissa's reality. There are several plot directions that made me scratch my head just didn't unhinge me from the Kindle. One minute I love Lissa and the side by side I want to smack her. The part that scares me is that I go her and I similar the fact that I can't estimate what's coming side by side. I too like the SF attribute since I hardly ever get to read the genre. The romance is non as interesting to me as it was in the first couple of books. This is not erotica and I am really glad almost that. It would be too much.

Basically, this series is similar my beloved Maryland crabs -- you lot gotta practise some work just it's worth it for the sweet meaty treats. I am and so reading the adjacent one although it goes to the time to come...a plot device I generally hate outside of Highlanders. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a piffling of everything in the pot. If you similar it neat and anticipated, don't bother considering y'all will become frustrated.

Lissa returns from her other-worldly mission, only to be striking head on with a shocking revelation, a newbie vamp, and a psycho killer problem. Just when I thought this story of Lissa's couldn't become whatsoever cooler, more than complicated, intense or dramatic, information technology did. I loved every chapter, every paragraph of this volume! The new characters that were introduced from Blood Domination have entered Lissa's world with but a raised brow from her fellow vamp family. As Lissa learns more virtually her heritage and the vampire history, she becomes fifty-fifty more dangerous to the vampire quango with her powers. In order to pursue Xenides, the very scary vampire that is after Lissa, the council coordinates with a U.Southward. Government special task force, the werewolves, and of course Lissa, to accept his donkey down. Xenides has waged war on Lissa's family until she goes to him willingly. He only wants Lissa for her blood, which allows anyone that drinks it the utilise of her powers.

Meanwhile on the dwelling front, Merril has taken in a lot of house guests, including a servant that wishes to stay at Lissa's side. Oh my gosh, this niggling guy is also cute, but when he has to render abode, information technology's so sorry because not merely has Lissa gotten attached, so accept I! The story was intense, merely had it's softer moments, with a dash of sexy times included, which made it more real. I felt similar although I was taking in a lot of new information, more layers to the existing story, that I never was overwhelmed. The story line was relatively easy to follow, and very action packed! I actually appreciated the investigating, and fighting, especially the fighting! I can truly say I can see how *PNR readers tin get discouraged by the plow this serial has taken, however, the merging of paranormal with science fiction in this case is the well-nigh fascinating take on vampirism I take come to read to date. Likewise, the fact that I honey my sexy times included in my stories, and the author fades to black when information technology comes to sex scenes doesn't have away from the story or disappoint me in any way, shape, or form. I seriously beloved the direction Lissa is going, and I can't look to get into Claret Queen, Volume 6!!

* PNR= Paranormal Romance

Editor's note; The series is about a vampire, and has werewolves as well but then introduces other planets, where the vampires, and werewolves originated from, which takes on a sci-fi nature with the time travel, and portals.

Narrator Review

Traci Odom returns for the next installment of the Blood Destiny Serial, Blood Royal. Now that the story has added new worlds, we have new characters. Traci's job just got harder, and she steps upward to the plate like a pro! I can't even count how many different characters are in the book now, but she does an splendid job of differentiating them well enough that I know who is speaking at any given moment. How crawly of a talent is that! On top of the not bad and wonderful talent of Traci's, the quality of the sound and recording is fantastic besides. Throughout the entire production the sound is seamless. I love Traci Odom, and I dearest Blood Royal, and I highly recommend this unabridged series!

In the last novel, she came to a major turning betoken in her attitude/perspective regarding Wlodek, Merrill and Gavin. In this novel, Lissa goes to piece of work with the new NSA Manager, Bill Jennings, to deal with Xenides. That plot line develops and is resolved in this novel. Nosotros see Lissa attempting to build relationships with people who have wronged her - Tony, Gavin, Wlodek, etc. We as well go some major new insight into Lissa's heritage and abilities. At times, things seems to be going well for Lissa. There is some much needed levity with Wlodek, Flavio and Radomir, and Lissa seems to exist receiving respect from those she works with. At that place is also some major heartache towards the end f the novel. People die, and others have fabricated stupid decisions regarding what data to share with Lissa, which significantly affects the outcome of the novel. In at least one situation, if complete information had been shared, one decease could have been avoided.

For the well-nigh part, I actually enjoyed this novel, but I experience I have to say something about ane aspect of Lissa's life. In her relationship with Gavin, there are times when he acts similar an abusive spouse, emotionally if not physically. His anger gets out of control, often in ridiculous situations or for stupid reasons, and at one point, Lissa has a breakdown considering she thinks Gavin is going to strike her. Subsequently he tries to comfort her by telling her that he'd "never touch her in acrimony", but that isn't true. There accept been innumerable times when he has grabbed her arm or otherwise physically moved her in a controlling fashion. I'm wary of relationships like this existence portrayed as acceptable in our modern twenty-four hours. Yes, everyone has faults, but throughout the series, Gavin doesn't experience much sustained growth in his acrimony management and relationship skills with Lissa. So it's not as if this point in the series tin can exist used as a dissimilarity for major change later in the serial.

Aside from the noun content, the novel is rife with grammatical errors and a couple bloopers, but overall, the story is all the same compelling/ intriguing. This novel too ends with a major cliffhanger, which volition launch the reader into the side by side novel in the series with great enthusiasm.
