I wanted to like this book so badly, but unfortunately, it was just not for me. I found myself quickly getting bored while reading it and I struggled to continue with it.

This is the first book I've read by Katee Robert but I'm on the fence with this one. The story sounded interesting but it dragged a bit for me. I don't know if that was the story or the fact that they were trapped for a good portion of the book. I would say at about 60% in it started to pick up for me and the ending actually is what bumped this up a star for me.

Katee Robert can do NO wrong. This book has it all- reverse harem, vampires, and PLENTY of steamy scenes. I can't wait to see what Katee does next.

I loved this book and it was full of spice. It was spice with little plot but in the best way possible! A YChoose MMMF romance where I fell in love with all the characters. I love Katee Roberts writing and will definitely continue to read her books.

Thank you to NetGalley, sourcebooks and Katee Robert got an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

Now this is my fourth katee robert book and I feel that I have gotten pretty familiar with how her writing style works. This book was very similar to others I’ve read by her but my god like other reviews said, this was 500 pages of pure smut.

I felt that the plot really lacked in everything. We don’t get any world building and I am still left wondering what a seraph is.

It felt rushed but also so slow at the same time. The ending did not get enough time to build up, am I really just supposed to believe that she grew claws and killed her compelling old vampire dad.

Overall this was fun and my first (probably last) reverse harem book.

I think by now you should know what you're getting into reading a Katee Robert book and this one didn't disappoint! The smut starts off strong within the first few pages but I felt this one held on to a plotline better than others. It's a reverse harem style polyamorous romance and Katee writes them well! Each character felt distinct with individual nuances. I enjoy the insanity that is Wolf! The story jumps straight into the action and it was pretty easy to figure out all the vampire fractions without an info dump. The magic kinda does whatever it wants which makes it a bit confusing. The smut game is strong in this one and I appreciate that it's all consensual and you can tell they all respect each other and their relationships. This was a fun Oct read!!

I really enjoyed this book as one volume. I had not read these previously and only knew a little about them. I love Katee Robert books, and this one was particularly spicy, by nature of the vampire lore and the fact that this was a poly romance (I guess it would be considered reverse harem). I wish there had been a little more plot development, but still really enjoyed it overall.

I'm not sure what I expected when I started reading this but it wasn't really what I was expecting. It was ok, but I generally prefer more plot and less smut in my books. For a pure junk read with tonnes of spice it was fine, but in terms of plot there was very little, there was very little character development and then there was just a whole lot of sex between Mina and the three vampires that magically became bonded to her after bedding all three at the same time. If you're looking for an easy read that doesn't make you think, and you love lots of smut then you'll enjoy this book, but if you like things with a bit more depth & plot then I would probably steer clear.

Unfortunately this one isn’t for me. I can see why people would enjoy it, but it’s just not the type of book that I normally read and enjoy. I have Neon Gods by Katee Robert to read, and I am looking forward to reading it.

am quickly becoming a huge Katee Roberts fan. This book was absolutely everything that I needed from a spicy vampire book.

We start the beginning off following Mina who has grown up in the shadow of her father. She is a dhampir, that didn’t inherit any of his bloodline vampire abilities. She is shipped off to Malachi, the last of his bloodline, to hopefully bare his children so Mina’s father can control him. Mina has other ideas though and is quickly swept up in a plan to help Malachi escape the blood ward and in return he’ll help her overthrow her father. Along the way we meet up with Malachi’s friends Wolf and Rylan. Quickly Mina learns how important these vampires are to her. She is willing to do anything for them and then for her in return. This why choose romance is intensely steamy with all the chilli peppers.

The book is divided into 3 parts and I’ve heard other reviewers say it was intended to be 3 books. I’m not sure if that is true but some of the recap that happens at the beginning of each new part was unnecessary and felt like I was starting a new book. If we just learned something we don’t need a full on recap of how we got there shortly after. Other than the over sharing of new information the parts fit together well.

This book was overall fantastic and came out in a great time of the year when people are wanting to read something with vampires for Halloween. I’ve definitely been selling this book to people and will continue to do so well after spooky season.

I definitely got invested in these characters as the story went along! I didn't realize that it was actually a 3 part story put together into one (I'm glad I read it this way as I like to get the complete story). Each character is well defined with interesting powers. Of course it's sexy as hell (no surprise for this author) and definitely fits the erotic romance category (as far as I rate them). I'm intrigued by the ending (no cliffhanger for these characters but an interesting introduction to others) and want more....

This book took me longer than I thought to get through and it didn’t quite do it for me. Katee Robert is the queen of smut, I’ll giver her that. But I needed more than just smut in this and this was very anticlimactic.This was a crazy ride of vampire smut and reverse harem.

She thick and she smutty!!

Mina, half human, half vampire is sent by her abusive father to a vampire, Malachi Zion in order to produce an heir.

If your in the mood for 90% smut and 10% plot then this book is definitely for you. The whole time I was picturing Bella Swan and all the Cullens brothers at the same time.

Make sure you looking up the content warnings before diving in.

Thanks to @sourcebookscasa and @netgalley for my gifted copy of Court of the Vampire Queen, by Katee Robert. This book is out now, and would be a great read for October!

I read this in an attempt to step out of my box (vampire reads are not normally my thing). While I made it 100 pages, I was having a hard time wanting to pick up Court of the Vampire Queen and ended up putting it down.

Overall, i was indifferent to this book. I think the relationship and romance part of it was done very well with there being multiple relationships, and everything was enjoyable in that sense. Not that I was expecting some big plot with this book, but it was just not a great one. The spice was definitely there and at times i was like “oh man, again?” But i also expect that with Katee’s books as well. This book wasnt great but it wasnt bad.

This was actually a pretty interesting book. I am not normally a romance reader but when there are vampires involved I am happy. I do wish that the plot came through sooner than it did. While the romance was quickly established, I got more into it once the plot came through but I almost gave up before that point.

All four main characters are dynamic with flaws and strengths that are tested as the story unfolds. As a result, their outlooks and attitudes change and grow, which also affects the relationships between the four.
Katee Robert is just superb, I loved everything about this and want to read a million more of them

This was fun 🥵 A bit repetitive, but I loved the crossover with Azazel 😂
The boys are goals 🥰 she’s a lucky lady

The content warnings at the beginning of this book certainly do not lie -- this is an incredibly spicy read with plenty of blood and gore and a shockingly compelling plot. Katee Robert knows how to write an erotic romance, and she also knows how to craft complex characters who would be one-dimensional in so many other hands. Always here for a Katee Robert joint!

I enjoyed this book more than I expected! I was a bit hesitant because there is a trope that I typically do not enjoy in this book but the way it was set up, it didn’t detract from the story in my case (I’m not talking about the RH but don’t want to give away the other trope either haha). The spice was great and definitely took up much of the book but there was still enough of a plot to not make it feel like just spice. It was also nice to see Mina gain confidence throughout the book with the help of the vampires. All in all, a fun, spicy paranormal RH!
