This book was all the things I enjoy about Katee's writing plus more. Extra spicy & spooky. Perfect for an October read, I really enjoyed it.

I said it before, and I will say it again if you like books where the Smut is the plot, Court of the Vampire Queen is for you!

Is the Smut the only plot? No, but it was a lot of it. I loved it and the characters. Mina was an unexpected delight. She was snarky and brave, and I enjoyed her. Malachi got better and better as the book went on. He was gentle but also rough around the edges. Wolf was the stereotypical charming one. He was not as buttoned up as the other two, and I enjoyed that fun element. Rylan was my favorite, He took some time to warm up, but once he got there, he was in it.

This was quite a wild ride. It was an action and steam-packed ride. I would have liked a little more backstory between the guys. Their past was hinted at, and we got some, but I would have liked a little more on that. I thought there was a decent explanation of how the vampire world worked, and I appreciated that.

This book was a fun, enjoyable read.

A classic Katee Robert story. There is something about her writing that draws me in regardless of the plot. The story was sexy, fast paced, and intriguing all at the same time. For KR readers, I would rank this as above Neon Gods but not quite as good as Learn My Lesson

These were fun spicy vampire stories and I am not mad. I do wish they ran together a little more. But they accomplished what they were made to do.

I really enjoyed this one. I have read other books from this author. Such a talented author! This book is mostly smut rather than plot. It is very fast paced. From the very beginning its has you on the edge of your seat. Mina is a dhampir (human/vampire & her father gives her to various other vampires for strength. A vampire named Malachi & others try to find a way to break her bond and kill her father so she can inherit the kingdom.

Loved this! Mina was awesome. Loved her coming into her powers. I haven't read many reverse harems, but this was my favorite so far. I love Rylan!!! Malachi is also really cute. I linked my Goodreads review.

3/5 Stars

Look to be clear I went into this book expecting a lot of smut (it ain’t my first Katee Robert Rodeo) but man was there a lot of smut. Almost every other page had sexy times so to speak. And to be clear this wasn’t a problem per say but the lack of plot going along with the smut was the issue. There wasn’t actually a lot of plot going on between the sex and this made the book feel really repetitive at times. We kept getting recap of information that had happened in the beginning but since no additional plot had occurred there really wasn’t a need for it. The parts almost felt like three short stories that were put together for the purposes of making a book and it definitely affected the reading.

That being said this book I also finished this in a day so saying it hooked me was an understatement. The sex scenes, while aplenty, were well written and very steamy so I really only deducted points because of the lack of plot.

Thank you to Netgalley and Katee Robert for the chance to read Court of the Vampire Queen for an honest review!

First off, the spice. It was EVERYTHING. The story, even better. This was my first book by Katee Robert and she absolutely did NOT disappoint. This story follows Mina, a half vampire, half seraph, and her lovers, Malachai, Wolf, and Rylan. She starts off as basically a brood mare for procreation with Malachai to further extend his bloodline because he is from one of the seven original born vampires, and his element is fire. But almost instantly she realizes that he isn't just interested in impregnating her and feeding on her until she was dead.

Mina soon comes to realize that Malachai cares for her as more then just a ticket out of his imprisonment, then along comes Wolf and Rylan. Both of whom who have long histories with Malachai. After some very interesting love making the four realize they have all become bonded through the power Mina has yet to embrace.

It's time to be free for Mina. She no longer wants to live under her fathers rule and wants her men to be free of his control. She sets herself on a mission to take over her fathers compound and become the new leader to his coven. The journey this group embarks on pulls you in from the very beginning and I can't wait to get my hands on more books by Ms. Robert. She has just become one of my auto buy authors !

I don't know what crack Katee Robert injected into this book, but it had me FLOORED with how much smut can be in a book. By far this is the smuttiest book I have ever read. I didn't know whether to love it or hate it, but in the end it gets a 2 star review from me only because there was just no plot. Every chapter there was sex and maybe half a page of the plot happening in the shadows of all the smut.

I love Roberts Neon Gods series, but even that has more plot than this story has.

I’m typical Katee Robert fashion this book is steamy as heck and I loved that as I do with most of her books. While I’m not the biggest fan of the vampire aspect (which is really a lot of what the book revolves around) it was still enjoyable. A bit long for my liking, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

I want to state that I usually love Every book Katee Robert has written but, this one felt different. I might be spoiled by the beautiful blend of drama and smut in her last books. I'll skip the usual summary part of the review as it will sound much like the back of the book. Court of the Vampire Queen is extremely heavy on sex for the first 150 pages with very little else. Actually, the MC might be to blame for this as she keeps saying throughout the WHOLE BOOK that she will deal with situations, feelings, and concerns LATER. The sex scenes are great and definitely set the tone for the book, so when it dramatically changes in the last half of the book, it feels a little like whiplash. I joined this book but didn't love it as much as other books by this author.

I love Katee Robert books so of course I'd have to read her newest installment! Court of the Vampire Queen is - well .....let's call it exactly what is it VAMPIRE SMUT! LOL! Katee Robert is the queen of writing smut to begin with, so mix in vampires this time instead of greek gods and here we are! Is this a thought provoking book, no, but is it a fast 400 page read that will entertain you - ABSOLUTELY!!! So fast past, super entertaining and complete Katee Robert. This book was originally 3 novellas but now bound in one book. (those novellas were sacrifice, Heir and Queen. I will always continue to read what she writes so if you're a KR fan I do think you will really enjoy this one

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for allowing me to read and review this digital ARC

Katee Robert has done it again! She is the queen of spicy romance and she was definitely in her element with this one. This compilation of the Bloodline Vampires series was so well done with just the right level of spice and plot.

Crazy hot, dark and absolutely a wild ride from start to finish. Roberts ability to write some really top level spice and intertwine it perfectly with an amazing plot and story continues to make her one of my favorite authors. This book has some of the best parts of adult fantasy - vampires, demons, interesting supernatural power systems, strong main female character, men who will do anything for her (hello poly representation!), extremely hot spice and steadily paced world building.

If you’re out there looking for something to get fully pulled into that you can burn through in a day - this is a great choice. I tore through it in about 3 hours and loved every minute of it.

Thank you to sourcebooks and NetGalley for the e-arc to read and review!

There is a lot of spiciness in this book, but it wasn't enough to keep me interested. I wasn't drawn to these characters as I was in the Neon Gods series. I felt there wasn't enough world building or character development.

I am a fan so I will definitely pick up more of Katee's books, but I don't think I will continue to read this series.

Thank you Sourcebooks and NetGalley for providing an e-arc for an honest review.

3.5 out of 5 stars

I really wanted to love this book because I truly love Katee Robert's writing but unfortunately it wasn't a hit for me.

I loved the premise of a half vampire girl who has been given to an ancient strong vampire as a sacrifice by her evil father. I didn't read the summary prior to reading the book and was a little surprised by the why choose element but also really enjoyed that relationship and the spice as always is top notch. I really wish that it would have been a slower burn. I mean first chapter we already have spice and a connection, and I am NOT saying I don't want or enjoy spice but I really wish there was a bit more relationship building and less running and random angry sex. I know that this is listed as erotica and the trigger warnings say that this is a book with lots of sex, but I would have appreciated just a little less sex and more plot(and that's saying something coming from me). The characters were fun with the exception of Mina sometimes getting on my nerves with the constant self loathing but it is understandable considering her past. You also get a chance to meet some of the characters from the Deal with the Demon series and get a bit of their backstories.

Will I read it again? Probably. Would I recommend it? Yes, if you're looking for all spice no plot. Is it my favorite Katee Robert book? Unfortunately no.

This vampire book is a great, wild, awesome, dirty, need to escape reality kind of read. I loved all three make vampire characters. I felt Like the Main character; Mina had a tremendous gradual change to her whiny, scared persona. She got stronger as the book wore on. The reason I gave it three out of five is for two reasons.
First, I went into this knowing it was smutty and loving that! However, there were times when that's all it was, page after page after late of just that and no real point advancement. I think this could have been made into two books if the author had given a little backstory before the first chapter. I would have loved to see a little backstory to get her father. Especially the knee-crushing scene, as that played a big will in her characters in the beginning.
Lastly, I want to say that I started this thinking Malakai was my favorite, then I thought, hmmm nope, it’s Wolf, then I felt like maybe I was team Rylan! I couldn't decide! I loved all three guys!!! I think in the end I might pick wolf, but maybe not!!!

I really enjoyed this book. It started out with a bang and then just kept going. It felt a little windy in the middle and there were a handful of typos, but overall I’m hooked and can’t wait for what happens next!

This book had a really interesting premise, a vampire and a girl that's supposed to be his gift, his blood-slave but instead of using her as such he's actually treating her like a gentleman. The beginning seems also very intriguing, they meet, they actually have some sort of chemistry but from then on its just a lot of sex, to be honest too much sex in one book for my liking.
Thankfully it has triggerwarnings in the beginning because this book deals with some crazy stuff and Katee Roberts is not shy of describing everything very detailed.
In the End I would say, all in all it was a fun book, a quick read that ended up being completely different than I expected.

When Mina, half-human and half-vampire, is given as blood sacrifice and brood mare to the captive vampire her father keeps enslaved, she is sure her life is over. But, when she's not drained or raped, she begins to learn about the vampire Malachi, the vendetta against her father, and the two mysterious visitors that coming knocking when the sun goes down. Soon, Mina is caught in a world of magic, politics, and blood, and she's not a minor player, either! Super steamy, incredibly violent, and a fun, mad-dash romp into supernatural romance, this stand-alone compilation of Katee Robert's Bloodline Vampire series is a great way to read past your bedtime!
