I read this book originally on Kindle Unlimited when it was separated as three books! They are quick and easy reads for loves of Katee Robert works! Definitely spicy and for mature readers. Wolfe is the superior MMC and I will hear no slander towards him! This isn’t a book you read for plot or intense storyline, but for silly vampire fun that only Katee Robert can provide!

I got a free ARC of this from NetGalley.

Anything vampire will probably get an insta read from me, but I truly have no idea what to rate this. I don't think I've ever been so conflicted in my life.

I feel like there's a story, but I have no idea what it is. It's completely overshadowed by unrelenting, unhinged, feral sex. The first few chapters were entertaining when it was just Mina and Malachi, but the book quickly spiraled for me. This book has a reverse harem and pregnancy tropes, both of which I was not aware of coming in. If you like either of these, then boy do I have the book for you. Pregnancy tropes seem to be really polarizing, so either you love it or hate it. Just be aware that it's brought up a lot and is impossible to ignore.

There were some truly cringe scenes in this book the made me have to step away a couple times. They had to have intense group sex to break a blood ward? Or something? I feel like I'm missing something here.

My other problem is what the heck does Mina look like? I don't think there was a single description of her in here.

In conclusion, I have no idea what I just read. The smut was decent though???? 🤷‍♀️

Before going into this I saw people saying how this had no plot, it was only vibes or smut etc. but I don’t agree. This felt very plot oriented. Don’t get me wrong there was a LOT of smut involved but the basis to even that was the plot. I would obviously never recommend this to anyone strictly for the plot or if they didn’t like smut but there was a plot.

Now to why I didn't rate this higher. During the first two parts, I was ready to give this at least 4 stars but once we hit the 3rd part Mina became insufferable. Before I understood where she was coming from or at least tried to but she just kept complaining about everything while not doing anything. She kept claiming she was trying but she never did and even complained when others tried to help her build her skill or confidence. There was also a line at least once a chapter about how she's not a child and should be told things only for her to prove why they didn't want to tell her in the first place. Every other Katee Robert book I've read has had strong, confident and independent female main characters so this was just a little unexpected and disappointing. But maybe I'm being dramatic after being constantly spoiled with badass women in books.

Despite my annoyance with Mina, I did still enjoy this. Katee Robert remains the Queen of smut, but I wouldn’t recommend this to people who don’t like a more helpless female main character. Or yk.. the smut and 3 men with 1 woman thing.

I enjoy a good vampire smuttty romance as the next person but this pretty much had no plot and it was just sex from page 2. I didn’t care about any of the characters or what was going on.

To be honest, this was a huge disappointment for me. After reading Neon Gods I was hooked and so when I saw this as "read now" on Netgalley it was an instant yes for me and I couldn't wait to get started. However, for a 500 page book there was no plot to speak of. By the time I was 30% done we didn't even know what the main "issue" was and I wasn't feeling any strong relationships between the characters. Later on we see these bonds start to grow but it wasn't enough. We got so many "hints" at things that happened in the past yet we were never given any elaboration that could have really helped the story.

One thing that really annoyed me was the repeating of information. You know how when you start a sequel the characters will sometimes have an inner dialogue about an incident that happened in the last book that is relevant to what is happening in the new book? So they do a quick recap/explanation of it? It acts as a way to help jog the readers memory since it may have been a while since reading the previous book(s). Well, we see the same type of info repeat here, but for something that happened less than a chapter ago. Not only does it get repeated once, but we see the same information repeated over and over again. Sometimes less than 3 pages apart! I'm pretty sure we could have cut at least 50 pages from these repeats alone.

Overall, I went into this with really high expectations but it just didn't deliver how I wanted it to.

I’m pretty conflicted about this book, but in the end, I liked it. While Mina wasn’t the strongest character, the bond formed between her and the three vampires enabled her to become more powerful and start to discover who she was. The pregnancy plot line was a little strange to me and gave me seriously Twilight vibes with the whole baby sucking away her life and the craving for blood. My biggest complaint was the ending. The whole book leads up to this one battle that goes off perfectly for a few pages…and then we get a “four years later” epilogue. Not my favorite :/

Now—for those who enjoy a lot of spice in their books, get this one!! It was hella spicy and the author got super creative. You’ll enjoy it :)

This book should also be labeled as Erotica-it was that hot!!! It’s been a while since I have read a book like this and my first by Katee Robert, I love vampire stories and this one was so totally different from what I have previously read. Cornelius was an evil cold hearted man, who never knew what his daughter actually was, she didn’t know either, it took a few hot men to help her find her true self. Really enjoyed the relationship between her and they guys and how they truly cared for her. This book has the best ending and a few surprises also. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC!

Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the chance to read and review Court of the Vampire Queen by Katee Robert.

Katee Roberts is best known for her Dark Olympus series. I’ve only read the first one, but I have to admit, I thought it was pretty good and I’ll happily read the other books in the series. Do I think that Court of the Vampire Queen is as good? I don’t. It’s a 2.5 star read for me, rounded up to 3 where that’s not available. I only got through it because its Katee Robert.

I do have spoilers in this review, so please be careful going ahead!

Court of the Vampire Queen is paranormal erotic which will be published on the 6th of September. It’s a very smutty reverse harem read with a lot of blood, in case the blurb and the genre didn’t make it clear. Our main character Mina is a half vampire, without powers, which means her father has no qualms about sending her to another vampire to be his blood bag and womb. If she does get pregnant she becomes his heir, but she is more likely to die. However, Malachi, and his friends, turn out to be different, and Mina isn’t as vampiric as one might have originally guessed.

Katee Roberts writes good smut, and I don’t mind the plot either. I just had massive issues with Mina and the way the book ended. Mina doesn’t really become more interesting as the book goes on. She just seems annoying. She does take action at some point, but it just feels like too little and far too late. I feel like the author missed out on a massive chance to give Rylan more backstory and talk about what the seraphs actually did in the past and maybe give more information on her father’s rise to power. They also didn’t need to get her pregnant if they were going to kill her father anyway; I know the erotica was the main point, but the pregnancy didn’t add to the book in any way. She also killed her father in like a minute. Like that was an incredibly short scene.

I understand that we’re getting another series out of this, but I wouldn’t have minded this one being longer just to make the end more interesting. I would love to see more of Lizzie and Wolf’s family, and figure out more about the fire!

I was expecting the smut going into this, but man, I wasn't expecting it right off the rip. Not complaining at all though. Lol it was a book that was all smut with little plot. Honestly, I didn't love it. The flow was weird and Mina annoyed me quite a bit at times. It was also super repetitive to me and they kept going backward and forward about the same topics often. They had ideas but no those ideas won't work. And then they would do one of those ideas. I've read some of the authors other works (that epilogue anyone) and I'm not sure I'll ever love her stuff. But that's okay.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read and review this early.

I just want to say, if you like Vampire porn and reverse harems AND pregnancy trope... This book is for you!

For me personally, I would have liked it if there was no prego vibes in it.. The spice is.. Katee Robert spice! Its good!

I just don't know how to rate this book properly.

Thank you NetGalley, SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca and Katee Robert for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a standalone read with many trigger warnings, so please check them prior to deciding if this book is down your alley.

In a nutshell, we have our FMC who is a powerless being who ends up in a RH situation with a few very powerful beings…and we get smut galore from the get go.

It’s an easy enough read, however I found that it is more smut, less story line. There was little to no overviews of magic systems, a lack of world building, and an extremely fast ending. After all that planning, it just fell into place. I feel that it needed to be fleshed out more (and I don’t mean in the smut sense 😉). I have similar feelings when reading the Dark Olympus series by Katee Robert, so maybe it’s a style that I just don’t fully connect with.

I also found there were a few typos (yes, I realise it’s an ARC), and some story inconsistencies. For example, when Mina first interacts with Rylan in the kitchen she is surprised that he isn’t as big as he seems ‘only a few inches taller than she is’, however throughout the book on multiple occasions it states that Rylan and Malachi and the largest, and Wolf is closest to her size (see car scene).

For a standalone, the opportunity for some epic ending and closure was completely lost in preference to what felt like a rushed ending to keep it as a short read.

If you are after an easy, smut filled vampire read, then this may be the book for you. If you are into fantasy world buildings, magic systems, epic fights etc then I’d probably skip it.

Thank you NetGalley, SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca and Katee Robert for letting me read “Court of the Vampire Queen” in exchange for an honest review.

I was surprised that this was available as “read now”. I took the opportunity to finally read my first Katee Robert novel.

I haven’t read fantasy in a while so it’s a nice change to dip into something so familiar again.

The cover is stunning. Dark reds and black, light flowers. It’s beautiful.

The book comes with a huge list of trigger warnings, I name only some of them here:
Blood, gore, murder, patricide, pregnancy, discussion about abortion and my favourite: vomiting (I am NOT making fun of this! Just never seen it as a trigger warning. As a practical nurse I am too familiar with bodily fluids, but this one… ugh).

Smut. There is no other word for it. Utter smut. Smuttiest smut.

I assume this is supposed to be a standalone?! I would have liked to have started with a story line. I feel like there has been a story that I missed. I got thrown into the middle of a complex story with no idea what it’s about. A bit like Mina herself. Being part of a different world without belonging to it completely. Having no clue what happened before. I would have liked to know a bit more first about why she has brought into the house, like a backstory.

At 32 % I was so close to giving up. I need a story people! Give me something. I knew there would be smut, which is fine, but I need a story as well, a real story. Mina annoys me, she barely knows the guys and they can literally do anything to her? For reals?

It needs three guys to f*** her and suddenly they break wards and find out that oh she is something else? The power of sex and we know it? I do t buy it, I really don’t buy it.

I guess I can only blame myself for assuming this to be something it’s not. The story had potential, but I can’t take the constant smut. I am not prude, I enjoy it, but it has to be more than that. So sorry, can’t rate it higher than I did.

Ok, I loved this one. Sometimes a spicy read is all you need to pull you out of a slump, and this did its job so well. I'd read so many mediocre books in a row, but this fixed everything.

And really, I can't pin down why I liked this one so much. I just loved the dynamic. All of the characters were so fun, and the vampirism added some fun twists. This one holds the title of being the only vampire book I've ever enjoyed, which speaks volumes.

Also, that last chapter!! Absolutely adorable!! That was all I wanted - a domestic scene with some adorable new bits!

And the cliffhanger this left a singular character on... She was barely existent, but I want more of her. I'm dying to know what her journey looks like in the next book.

So far, Katee Robert has yet to disappoint. She's been an insta-read author, and I can't wait to read everything else she's going to publish

I am a fan of Katee Robert’s Dark Olympus series, and was excited by the opportunity to read one of her other works. Court of the Vampire Queen did not disappoint! It’s every guilty pleasure you want in a romance times three deliciously hot vampires.

One of the things I love most about Katee Robert’s heroines is the agency she gives them. They’re free to be hot headed, make their own choices, and explore their sexuality without fear or judgement.

Robert, like Scarlett St. Clair, Jennifer Armentrout, and Sarah J. Maas, also strikes the perfect balance between steamy romance and plot driven stories. If you love those stories, this one is definitely for you!

Note: This book has a lot of content warnings, so be sure to check them out before reading.

Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

It*s a no from me.

My friends have been raving about Katee Robert, but knowing that most erotic romance isn't for me, I kept well away from her works so far. And... I did well. Not even the poly element could save this read for me, and I gave up at around 10%. If you are looking for dirty talk and a one-handed read, you'll find it here? But I personally couldn't even take the name Malachi serious.

Bye, Katee Robert.

This was another great novel from Katee Robert, I've been a fan of hers since Dark Olympus. So this book had what I enjoyed from previous books of Ms. Robert and I enjoyed that she used vampires in a different way. It had great characters and they felt like real people with real problems. I really had a great time reading this, it was different than most reads but a lot had elements that I saw in previous books. This was a really well done novel and I finished it as soon as I could because it was so good. I can't wait for more from Katee Robert.

"I could try to push back, but it’d just end in us sparring while I attempt to escape the room. The thought of him getting his hands on me again has my traitorous heartbeat kicking up a notch. “You just want to bite me again.”
