Court of the Vampire Queen was entertaining and had some fun characters, but the main character fell a little short for me. While this is not as good with the story as Neon Gods, fans of vampire fiction will enjoy this title.

Katee Robert killed it as always. I always know when I pick up a Katee Robert book that I'm going to have a good time. I can't wait for more from her, she's definitely one of romance's best.

I loved this novella bind up! All four main characters were distinct and compelling to read about. I loved the dynamics between all of them and how this wasn’t just a reverse harem but a polyamorous relationship between four loving people. Loved it!

I throughly enjoyed this novel. In fact, it’s one of the few lately that has held my attention throughout the entire story. While I could see a few things coming, I never felt like rushing though it. I would definitely recommend it to friends.

I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book.

I absolutely loved this book! I went into this book with high expectations because everything I have read by Katee Robert has been absolutely exceptional. I can say this with all my heart I loved this book from the beginning to the end. Once I picked it up it I did not put it back down until I was done. Once again anything written by Katee Robert I will read and will always love!

Who doesn’t love a reverse harem steamy 🌶🔥 romance? Throw in vampires and I am immediately intrigued.

I would say that this book is 90% about the *spice* and not so much on deep character development, world building, or substantial plot. If that’s your jam, you’ll love this one! Don’t get me wrong, there is a conflict driving the action in the story, but it takes a back seat to the romance so it kind of fell short for me.

I was left wanting when it came to character depth (or lack thereof), insta-love magic, and a quickly tidied up climax to the story. So for that, I gave this book 2/5 stars. Still enjoyable, but not one I’d reach for again.

That being said, the introduction to a demon realm and possibility for more books surrounding that crew….I’m here for it. 🔥😈

Thanks to NetGalley for providing an eArc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I had really really really high hopes for this one but in the end it fell flat. Just kind of sizzled out. Could have been shorter.

Read if you like: dark romance
-
Mina is sent to the home of a vampire for one purpose: to feed and breed for this vampire. But what she doesn't expect is to learn more about herself and her past.
-
This was an intriguing book. I loved the way Mina slowly became more aware of herself and her powers, and overcame a lot of the trauma she experienced as a child at the hands of her cruel father. My only thing is that the number of spicy scenes felt like a lot of plot filler, and while I love a spicy romance book and don't shy away from reading anything, I wanted a bit more plot. It made the book feel a bit too long but overall I really enjoyed reading the story!

I thought this book was great for exactly what it was. The plot took some time to develop but the slowness in plot development was compensated with quality romance and sex scenes. If you’re looking for a reverse harem fantasy romance that makes your toes curl then this is an excellent option. It was blessedly devoid of cringey one liners. I read it over the span of two days and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Incredibly steamy, but I felt like the focus went into writing abundant sex scenes rather than world-building. The paranormal aspect felt rushed and forced, so the world didn't feel cohesive to me as a reader. Super hot, though, so I'm not really complaining.

I am quickly becoming a huge Katee Robert fan. Patrons have been recommending her writing for years, and I'm glad I finally gave it a try. I think patrons will love this one, too, so we will definitely be purchasing copies. Thank you!!

Really interesting read that was very different to the type of books I usually enjoy. A good story with well thought out characters.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me the advance of this book.

Whew, my face has been red since page 2. I am no prude. I read lots of spicy books, but boy this one was very spicy.

There was so much sex in this book, I honestly have no idea what the hell happened. Mina was given to a Malachi to do with what he wants. He then has 2 friends who show up and the party is on. She somehow traps them in a sex slave spell and they have to figure out how to get out of it; all the while screwing like crazy.

I normally love Katee Robert books, but this missed the mark hard for me. I lost the plot several times and just didn't love it.

I have read several books by this author and I have loved all of them. While I did enjoy this one, it did not capture my attention like her previous books have. I do really enjoy her writing style, and the spice in her books is always *chefs kiss*, but this one was not my favorite. I don't go into a Katee Robert book expecting a ton of plot, but I do expect some... However this is a great book to read if you're in the mood for some #smut. If you like your spice level HOT, then this one is great. 👀

Read if you enjoy:

•Reverse harem
•spiceeee
•vampires
•"wtf" moments
•paranormal romance

Thank you so much Sourcebook for my gifted e-ARC!!

Woah 😅 is it hot is here? Oh wait it’s just Malachi who has this place on fire 🔥 (literallyyyy 🥵).

In true Katee Roberts fashion this one brings the S T E A M right from the start, it’s hot and graphic so if that’s not your thing, you’ve been warned. If it is your thing, buckle up buttercup, because if you thought the relationship was just going to be Malachi & Mina you’ve been mistaken. This is a MMMF romance (yes you read that right).

It’s a story about Vampires (perfect for Halloween times, you’re welcome) and half vamps (dhampirs).

It comes with an arranged relationship, a toxic father, all vampire-ish things, a growley protective hero, and LOTS of steamy scenes.

If that sounds good to you, add this one to your TBR! 🤍

I have loved Katee Robert's other books so thought I would give this one a go, and I was not disappointed!

This is a bind up of Sacrifice, Heir and Queen, three of Katee's books that I hadn't read yet. They follow Mina, a half human-half vampire who was given to a Vampire who has been bound to this house by her father.

I don't want to say too much about the plotline because it is *ahem* minimal compared to what else is in this book, but I really enjoyed it. The last part of this book was probably the most plot heavy part, but that's not a bad thing!

Katee Robert's romances are always outstanding and she has become an autobuy author for me this year. If you're looking for a romance that's quick to read, well written and entertaining, I would highly advise that you pick this up.

Mina is the powerless daughter of one of the seven bloodline vampires. The book starts with her being sent as a blood sacrifice to another bloodline vampire named Malachi, who she is to serve in whatever way he wants *eyebrow wiggle*. From there, she ends up meeting two of Malachi's friends (more bloodline vamps of course) and they decide to overthrow Mina's father.

There is no plot. As many, many other people who've read this have said, this book is mainly smut, with the smallest bit of plot. That said, I knew going into this that it was a very smutty book and wasn't expecting greatness. The plot is very predictable, and not very good. When I reached Act 3, I was not interested at all in the plot and wanted it to end. Also, the ending was too fast, and let's be honest, meh.

This is the second RH book I've read this year and I have discovered it's not really for me. The romance in this is....questionable. I wouldn't call it romance or love, more lust. The main character ends up falling in love with "her men" even though they haven't had an actual conversation during the entirety of the book, they just constantly had sex. One of the men in the same chapter goes from, I hate you, to I tolerate you, to I love you.

The sex scenes were good, I guess, although it was cringy at times and I was confused with some of their positions, to be honest. However, it was entertaining and very spicy, so if you're into vampire p*rn, this is for you.

None of the characters has any substance and I barely know what they look like. If I were going to describe the cast of this book physically, I wouldn't know where to start. As for personality, I'd be hard but I think I could describe them with a word each max.

Mina - no clue what she looks like. She's the embodiment of watching paint dry: boring.
Malachi - Has long hair. The "responsible" one but loses control with FMC
Wolf - Has a mohawk. I swear the book describes him as "wild" over 50 times.
Rylan - Has short hair. Angy boi.

Apparently, this is a compilation of 3 novellas, which would be fine, if not for the constant reminder of what happened previously. Also, I was going to ignore it, but since finding out it's a compilation of 3 books that already existed previously I'm going to mention it. There are so many grammatical errors in this and extra words.

Overall, the only thing I'd recommend about this is the smut, but don't expect any literary greatness.

Court of the Vampire Queen by Katee Robert is a wonderfully written reverse harem romance with the female main character coming into her power and the three men who help her realize her true potential. I loved every second of this wild ride and I love everything Katee Robert puts out and adore her as a person. I am working my way through her backlist and I can’t wait to add this to my shelf and continue reading everything this author puts out.

This was my first Katee Robert book and I really liked it. Right away you get spicy scenes, like first chapter right away. The spicy scenes in this were fantastic and reading them in public was a challenge. I loved them. I also really liked the plot of this. I do wish the plot was a bit more complicated and there were a few more action scenes. I know the plot wasn't the main focus of this book, but I do wish there was a bit more of a balance. That's the only thing that kept this from being a full five stars. I also really liked the characters. They were so protective and selfless which I love.
