3.5⭐️ The one thing I didn’t realize with this book is that it is a reverse harem! That would have sold it to me quickly but I will read anything Katee Robert writes. This book is full of smut yet a basic plot line. Everyone is saying it’s all smut no plot but there is a plot.

Mina has been sold to a vampire by her father to produce an heir. She finds out more parts of her heritage and decides to take her father down along with her 3 men. They all work together to become free of her father and have sex along the way. What more can you ask for?

Thank you NetGalley for giving me this book for my review!

Thanks to NetGalley, Katee Robert, and Sourcebooks Casablanca for this ARC. Court of the Vampire Queen will be out September 6th, 2022.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tropes: Reverse harem (MFMM), monster romance, vampires, forced proximity, pleasurable bites, sword crossing, breeding
Thoughts: This book legitimately opens with the MC getting eaten out on the floor of some derelict house, so if that sounds up your alley this books is for you. I was excited to pick this book up because I enjoyed Katee’s Dark Olympus series. What I didn’t realize was this was an older work that is boing republished into one bind up. I realize now that I don’t vibe well with her older works. Thats not to say this book isn’t good it just isn’t my cup of tea. I would suggest this book to the BookTok girlies for sure and anyone who enjoys tons of on page sex.

Please check TW!! There are too many to list in this review.

This is one of the most erotic books I’ve ever read. When you first open the book there’s a lot of warnings for triggers so just be warned. Mina is half vampire and half human, and her vampire father gives her to a bloodline vampire- Malachi, hoping she will get pregnant and that her father can control Malachi. But while she’s with Malachi she meets his two best friends and decides she’s on their side. There’s also a bit of mystery because her blood is better than other dhampirs. This book starts off hard and keeps it up the whole way! Enjoy!

Katee Robert's knocks it out of the bedroom park once again! This book was a spicy, saucy and fun read with it's twists and turns while keeping the tenseness of the events throughout the storyline. A great amount of steam, a heavy hit of plot and all around just a great read!

Court of the Vampire Queen by Katee Robert is a bind up of her Bloodlines series, which consists of three novellas. In this book, we follow Mina, a half human, half vampire who has always felt rejected by both worlds she exists in. Mina’s father decides that the only thing to do is use her as a pawn by gifting her to the dark and brooding pure blood vampire, Malachi. Pretty soon Mina finds herself in deep with Malachi and his two closest companions as they open her eyes to a world she never knew and maybe she is more powerful than she ever thought.

I am a huge Katee Robert fan. I have read so many of her books so I was excited to see this three book story of hers being bound up to be sold in stores! I think anyone who has been a long time fan of Robert will kind of know what to expect going into this book. A lot of spice throughout with some interesting story thrown in. I do wish there would have been a little more of the vampire lore and story because I loved her take on it. I would have loved to learn more about the powers of the different Bloodline vampires.

I think someone who has only read her Dark Olympus series may be disappointed in this. I love seeing how much Katee Robert has grown as an author and I think she has finally found the perfect way to right a book that is both spicy and contains an exciting story. I think you can really see her growth through this series as the last book had a great balance.

One thing I was not expecting in this book was an introduction to a character from her “Deal with a Demon” series. That was super fun to see. I love how she interconnects her worlds in her books in a way that doesn’t take away from the reading experience if you haven’t read everything but really adds to a fun Easter egg for her long time fans.

I would recommend this book to anyone who has read a lot of Katee Robert’s backlist and knows what to expect from her. Or if you are just looking for a spicy fun time with some vampires that’s enough to get anyone’s blood hot ;)

I love Katee Robert's books. The worlds that she creates draw you in and have you addicted to the characters. Court of the Vampire Queen did not disappoint! It’s every guilty pleasure you want in a romance times three deliciously hot vampires. 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.Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC!

The Court of the Vampire Queen was somehow not at all what I expected, but also exactly what I expected from Katee Robert's latest. I really enjoyed the detailed world-building and the emotional development of the characters. I didn't realize going into this book that there would be a sort of polyamorous arrangement/ multiple sex scenes with multiple partners. Although I wasn't expecting it, the book is incredibly well-written and has a ton of steam! If you like books that are heavy on the sex scenes but also have a legitimate plot, then this book is for you!

After being sacrificed by her abusive father to an unknown vampire, Mina discovers a life full of passion and acceptance with the vampire and his two friends/former lovers.

I absolutely loved the world building and the tie-in to another of her series. Mina, our narrator, is so determined and strong-willed, but also struggles with feeling like she's enough (thanks to the abuse she received from her father). Sometimes, authors aren't able to strike the right balance between a character being flawed and harping on those flaws, constantly bringing those flaws into the light. Katee Robert definitely found the right balance. Even when Mina was struggling with her self worth, I never got annoyed or thought to myself "yeah, I know, I get it, move on." And the men, especially Malachi. They are so swoon-worthy and help to create the space for Mina that she needs.

The spice in this book, in my opinion, is top tier. It starts VERY early on and continues through almost the entire book, but doesn't keep the story from moving forward. It's a lot, but again, Katee struck the perfect balance.

This is easily one of my favorites by her. The only thing I didn't love was the recapping of events at the start of Acts 2 and 3. But since that was such a small part, it's not worth docking stars.

This book is a must read, I could not put it down, I finished it in two days. The spice was just fantastic but the plot as well made the story even better. Mina with her men were absolutely fantastic, if you love vampires and FMC finding themselves and a sexy 4person couple than this book is for you. Katee Robert’s never disappoints with her books but I have to say this might be my favorite book yet.

** Received a copy for review.**
I really love Katee Robert. However, this book just didn’t work for me.
There are a lot of personalities and relationships but the plot is very thin.

Phew this one was steamy! If you like some plot with your erotica then this one will be up your alley. The spice doesn't hold back and gets into it (literally) from the get go. It's a mmmf RH and does have a fair amount of m/m scenes so if that's not your thing steer clear. I loved the supernatural vampire plot and liked all of the three main MCs. The female MC was a strong character who held her own against the men. It reminded me a little of Lauren K Hamilton. I've read a fair bit of Katee Robert before so I knew what I was getting going in and this one didn't disappoint. I look forward to reading more by this author and would pretty much read anything she writes.

Court of the Vampire Queen is three of Katee Roberts novellas put into one bigger book. This is just the bloodline vampire series. I have actually read all of these books on their own. I didn't realize when I requested this book from NetGalley ( thank you so much for providing me with an ARC) that is what this book was. But here are my ratings for the novellas: Sacrifice 3 out of 5, Heir 2 out of 5, and Queen 4 out of 5. All of these were very steamy and I would suggest this book. But if you have already read the bloodline vampire series you do not have read this book, because you will just be reading the same stories over again.

Thank you so much to Sourcebooks Casablanca for letting me read this ARC!

This book has Katee Robert's signature steam (oh baby!) but not without interesting worldbuilding and comingling of fantasy lore. If CW's Supernatural was horny, this book would be that. In starting out I assumed that this book would be pure vampire romance but instead I got a fully-imagined vampire plot within a much more complex world. I am super excited for this title and it scratched the poly romance itch that Wicked Beauty (also Katee Robert) sparked a little bit ago. I could not have asked for better steamy scenes holy crap and all three romanctic interests were distinct but showed character development. Super enjoyable and honestly a five star read for me.

Be prepared. Along with a interesting plot, this is an extremely spicy book. Mina is a great character. She is able to be vulnerable without being weak and helpless or whiny, which is an extremely hard balance to find. I very much enjoyed getting to know all the characters in the book and found them all interesting in their own way. The plot was solid but the pacing was a little off. We spend quite a bit of time running from the "Monster" but the end was a little anti-climatic, it was super fast and then right into the epilogue.

Overall, this was a great book. I would absolutely recommend to people who enjoy this genre.

Loved this. It’s so so spicy. Vampire reverse harem. Orgasmic bites. Sword crossing. Katee Robert can do no wrong.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

I didn’t realize that this was a repackaging of Katee Robert’s Bloodline trilogy (Sacrifice, Heir, & Queen), mostly because I will read pretty much anything KR writes. The story centers on Mina (half vampire/half human) and her three vampire men. It’s about 70% smut/30% plot. What I love is that it ties into the Deal with a Demon series, and just opens up a whole extended universe. Overall, a fun time!

Easy read for fans of spice. As always adore Katie Robert's writing. Enjoyed reading about the different characters.

This novel sounded alluring, tantalizing, sensual, and I desperately wanted to read it. I thought it interesting enough to hold my attention, but I wasn't blown away by the writing, or the world the author created. I think the author has promise, and I will consider reading her other books as a light read between others, but I could easily put it down and pick it back up. That said, I am a romantic, and I love all romance (even between vampires :) ). So for that reason, I am giving it 3.5 stars. If you love this kind of fantasy novel, then I definitely would recommend picking it up.

I've read this series as all standalone's and I am excited that Katee is putting the 3 parts into one complete book. We get a lot of steamy smutty group scenes and tension throughout this book, which is always a positive. I love Katee's writing in general and thought this book was also well written. Love that one of Mina's acquaintances will turn up in a separate monster series Katee is currently writing.

The spice in this was good, but the plot was lacking. I just wanted more world building and bit more character work. This was easily like 80% spice. I still love Katee's writing style, it always managers to draw me in, but this one was just a miss for me.
