Good book that was well written and told a great story. I loved the way that the author wove all the elements of the story together.

Mina is a half breed. Half vampire, half human and always under the father’s control. He’s now used her as a political pawn and gifted her to a dangerous vampire, Malachi Zion, to feed on and impregnate. The hope? That he will then get more power. Malachi is darkly seductive and with an edge, and she quickly starts falling in that web of lust and love. But there’s more to it than just him, and what started as the romance between the two of them turns into Mina’s three lovers. Along the way, she discovers things about herself, not only her sexuality, that she never could imagine and it can change their lives forever.

review

My first feeling when I started reading this book was that it gave me old school vampire romance vibes and that made my heart so happy. As you can imagine, I’m a sucker for a sexy vampire and have been most of my life. This had just enough plot and was mostly a character driven story. But make it super spicy. I think the fact that it’s written by Katee Robert and it’s a reverse harem should help you figure that out.

However, I also struggled a bit with finding the main characters memorable. This felt a bit like the kind of book that you read and enjoy while you’re reading but then when it was done, I couldn’t remember a ton. And part of that for me was the characters. They’re ok, they have great chemistry but they didn’t stand out in a sea of paranormal creatures. Even in comparison to some other books by Ms. Roberts that I’ve read.

This is also a standalone novel, so it’s perfect if you just want something quick and steamy that doesn’t leave you with any plot-holes or the need to pick up a whole series. Sometimes, that is also nice. Even though I’m a series reader at heart.

in conclusion

Court of the Vampire Queen is a playful and alluringly sexy vampire romance that hits just the spot when you’re looking for a quick and steamy read. Not many standalone paranormal romances out there so be sure to add this to your list. And if you’re nostalgic for that old school PNR vibe, then definitely give this a shot.

Katee Robert is one of my absolute favourites. She is able to mix spice and world-building so wonderfully.

Once again, late but needed to give my review for MY queen miss katee. I am a lover of anything katee robert and anything vampire related so it only made sense that i enjoyed this book and am glad i read it. I read it during the fall time an it felt like the perfect time to read it when it was chilly, the leaes were crunchy, and the spooky vibes were in the air. This books gave me that with a sprinkle of classic katee romance in there!

I found this book fun at first before it became a bit repetitive and lacking in enough plot or unique scenes to hold my attention.

Katee Robert shows she is one of the best at Romantasy with Court of the Vampire Queen. Deliciously sinful and decadent. I was lucky the book didn't go up in flames while I was reading.

This book was insane and I can’t decide if it was good insane or bad insane. I shouldn’t have enjoyed it but did in parts? Idk I’m rarely left speechless but here we are

I liked the beginning of this novel, especially the characters, the relationships, and the world building. That being said, I didn't like the shift into the introduction of angels/divinity. I've always preferred supernatural stories that stick to vampires, werewolves, and creatures that are more folklore than divine. That's a personal preference, but I think the writing is overall worthy of recommending to readers.

I am a huge fan of Katee Robert and I love her mythology re-telllings so I was super excited for this new books. This book took so many unexpected turns and was SO SPICY, almost too much at some points but overall I really enjoyed it.

This was so so spicy and everything I wanted! I love how each relationship was so different. I just love Mina. I adore Malachi! Wolf is the rakish rogue. I also love the tension between everyone and Rylan. I cannot wait to read Grace’s story. I need more of the demon. Thank you NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

As much as it pains me to say this, this book let me down. I enjoy other Katee Roberts reads, but this one didn't have the balance of plot and spice that I'm looking for. It honestly felt like it could have been a single erotica scene but then a bit of plot was cobbled around it. The plot had contradictions and shallow characters. The spice was fine, but that's all there was here.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick. Our library purchased and our patrons have been checking out and and enjoying the book. I see it is a popular book club choice as well we hope to have more oppurtinies to support authors like them

Thank you to NetGalley and the author and publisher for letting me read an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was my first Katee Robert book and I rated it 4 stars. I found the characters enjoyable and it was nice having a badass female main character instead of a whiny one. I know that these are novellas put in one book but it felt like this book left off on a cliffhanger or at least with some unanswered questions that could be continued in another book? This book got me out of a reading slump and I ended up reading some of her other series, which I ended up loving. I look forward to reading her other books.

Phew, this book. This was my first reverse harem/poly read and I am now hooked. Mina and each of the love interests were all extremely well fleshed out characters who I found myself caring for deeply. The plot definitely took to the sidelines as these characters got to know each other, but honestly plot isn't my main interest when reading a steamy paranormal romance anyway. Katee Robert is a master at writing spice and handling difficult topics with grace and thoughtfulness. I will absolutely be recommending this book to any customer I see buying the Dark Olympus series, as well as fans of Scarlett St. Clair and Emily McIntire.

First, I did not realize that it was a combination of all three books. Second, holy spice! Ms. Katee does not play around with her spicy romance. This is my first why choose with her, and I feel she needs to do that. But I loved the plot and the movement of the story. I would definitely note that her series connects to other series and if haven't, check out her instagram page for the diagram.

Seriously, does Katee Robert ever write a bad book? This book is so good! It’s 🔥🔥. Highly recommend and definitely bought for the library collection at work.

I loved this book. Katee Robert is one of my newest favorite authors. She tells a story and makes it spicy, but not too much. I do hope this will be a stand alone title, because I think the character of Mina (and her boys) ended perfectly.

This started off so great!
The first part of the book is what made me keep on reading, and out of nowhere we got more people in the twist.
I loved the chemistry between the characters but it went down hill once the others got involved.

Believe it or not this was my first Katee Robert book. I own quite a few of her books, but I seem to have a book buying problem. My tbr is a million miles long. This obviously won't be my last. I'm kind of disappointed by the reviews that downgrade because of smut, like what did you think you were reading? Anyway if you actually like smut, pick up this book.

A book about vampires?? SIGN ME UP!

Honestly though.... Katee Robert has had me HOOKED (more like in a chokehold) ever since I read Neon Gods! I mean I'm just at a point in my life where she has become an insta-buy author for me, and I'll just go to church on Sunday and REPENT for thoroughly enjoying these delicious reads!! I have no shame and I will love each and every book Katee decides to publish!!!

I requested a digital advanced readers copy from NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing and providing my opinion voluntarily and unbiased!
