Awesome book I loved this book it had many emotions and deceit in the pages. You never really know who is on what side. Apr 03, Laura rated it it was ok. I wanted to give this series another chance after book 1. But still at the end I didn't feel like continuing again I mean the biggest impression the main character gave me was that she says "wonderful" at entirely inappropriate times.
And then there where the three brothers: the "bad guy", "the conflicted one" and the "nerd". But t I wanted to give this series another chance after book 1. But the motives behind the storys moving characters seem to be soooo original, guess what: Power and world domination.
There is nothing in the two books that has fascinated, excited, inspired or moved me in anyway. Oct 27, David Anthony Beard rated it liked it. Good but slow I starting to understand the pattern of these books. Like the first book this book is a constant lead up until the end. There is nothing really going on until the very end. I still have problems with flash backs there are no real warnings and it is all present tense most of the time but randomly switches tense in the middle of the flashbacks.
If it was for the italics some of them I would have not even known they where flashbacks. The story is good except is needs to hurry up a litt Good but slow I starting to understand the pattern of these books.
The story is good except is needs to hurry up a little. The issues has cause the rating to drop to about 3. Oct 30, N. Moors rated it it was ok. I gave this two stars only because I finished it though that has more to do with the fact that I bought the first seven books on a sale and feel compelled to read them though I suspect this might be the last one. The writing is poor and needs editing.
The characters are stick figures with nothing to flesh out why they act as they do. The story is nonsensical with huge plot holes. I get that a lot of people like this, but it's not for me though I like vampire books. Nov 21, Jill Urbanek Gauger rated it it was amazing. Betrayed and mistakes One minute James and Victoria think they are on top of the world.
Power will be theirs but when Raul shows up to get Eleira back they miscalculate and the tables are turned. Eleira has more power than they realize and are overpowered by her. Raul and Eleira return to the Haven with James and Victoria their prisoners. James is immediately charged by his mother to become a Convicted and is jailed.
Mayhem ensues and who will survive all the betrayals. Feb 10, Norma Kirby rated it it was ok. Similarities I can see the similarities between this and shades of a vampire. Evil father, brothers hating each other and a human turned vampire, who becomes a powerful asset. Wicked witch, living in tree tops, the list is endless. I'm finding it a bit like I've read it all before. Sep 13, Diane Aultman rated it liked it. Didn't hold my interesting others It felt like it dragged you along while you waited to see what happened next but not reAlly caring because you didn't really care one way or the other.
I loved the first book but this one never really grabbed my attention. Think I'm finished with this series. May 27, Elaina rated it liked it. At first this book was going well and then it just lost my attention as it slows down. I'm not big on the whole bad witch and powers part.
Only reason I'm still reading the book is to see how Raul and Eleira life goes. I like clean books and these books so far are clean with no sex. We shall see how the third book goes or if I want to finish the series. Sep 08, Gail rated it really liked it. Read this in a box set. Books 1,2,3 I felt this pack was well worth the buy. The storyline was interesting and drew me in. I think that this story could suit a young adult. The narrator is a wonderful job. Giving each character their own unique voice.
I enjoyed it. Ends on a cliffhanger. Oct 01, C. Ocean of Sunflowers rated it liked it. Aug 27, Malynda Allshouse rated it really liked it.
Enjoyable BUT I'm really enjoying these books BUT I wish there was a little bit of fun in them! It seems like all there is is fighting and misery! If it continues I may stop reading this series. Nov 27, Kasie Cupp rated it it was amazing. ON to the next one, can't wait to see what happens next Nov 30, Deb rated it it was amazing. Book 2 is as great as the 1st. Chaos among the Vampires But the humans who live there and are protected by the Queen and her officers and the Vampires under her will be fodder for another.

But that rescue has come at a great cost, stripping Eleira of her humanity and opening up the battlelines between the world's most powerful covens. Now, as a creature of the night, Eleira has no choice but to return to The Haven. She must discover the truth of the dark prophecy surrounding her life and learn the extent of her new powers But as the Queen awaits Eleira's arrival, discord grows amongst the The Haven's vampires.
The threat of war, of outside attack, has them questioning their monarch's ability to rule Eleira was supposed to be their savior. Her newfound strength instead makes her a threat. None are eager to welcome Eleira with open arms I do a slow circle of the room at the top of the tower, trying to keep my breathing calm and steady. Hoards and hoards of silver, lining all the walls, piled as jewelry and cutlery on the ground, spilling out as coins and necklaces and rings from intricately-carved chests.
Ancient suits of armor stand erect around me, made entirely of the accursed-metal. The mere sight of the room would fill any vampire with dread. Being locked inside…? I lose track of the safe path along the room and misplace a step.
As soon as I do, enormous pain crashes into me, coming from all sides, coming almost as radioactive waves from the silver.
If a vampire of The Haven did something to warrant being held prisoner, his fate was all but decided: he would become one of The Convicted.
No matter what. So in a way I was relieved when we emerged above ground. I wish I could say it was a surprise that she would hold me hostage… but Mother never hid her disdain for my choice to stop feeding on human blood. There was a time she was afraid the other vampires would see it as weakness pervading through the Soren family.
She believed my decision could start a revolt. I can thank James and Raul for that. My two older brothers were her bastions of strength, and with Mother leading, none would dare rise against her. Except, of course, her cousin Rebecca. Yet Mother put a very effective stop to that by… by…. I look around the room, at the gleaming metal reflecting the candlelight… and continue my careful path in that slow, precise circle.
