“I was done dancing to the Lords’ tune. Now, it was time to dance to my own”

“I wanted you since I have you the Imprint. I wanted to feel you since the first time I pinned you to the ground and told you to yield”

This book was exactly what I wanted and then some. It was the sequel I was desperately craving after book one. Aileen is even more interesting as a character this time around. She is scared, scarred, fragile and yet strong, kind and yet fearsome. She is incredibly powerful and yet not fully capable of understanding heed own powers. I loved that we got to know more about her backstory and the whole ordeal with the gods that happened in book one. It gave so much more depth to this character that it didn’t have before. And Ragnor … to be completely honest with you, for a second there, I thought that he wasn’t even the real love interest anymore, so used I am to other books making me change my mind. But I couldn’t forsake him. And it seems Aileen couldn’t either. He is stronger, wilder, more obsessed and even more possessive. He is eaten by guilt and he doesn’t know what to do with himself when the woman he was obsessed with is gone in another League. We have spice, we have passion we have angst (the best kind to be honest) and we have sweetness somehow. I loved it. Their dynamic was back to stage one. An enemies to lovers to the max. But this time there is something more. There is a feeling none of them is able to deny anymore. A feeling that will hunt them until the end. And it was so good to read !!! And I’m once again left with a cliffhanger !!! I need book three like NOW !!!!

“You want me to kill for you? I’d do it”

“Let’s agree we’re both monsters. Isn’t it the perfect match, then?”

This book was devastating. The plot, the magic, the world. and the MCs were EVERYTHING. I loved how the author was able to create all the small nuances within the story but also plotted a delicious enemy to lover romance. The FMC was the charter that kept me intrigued most of the book and I enjoyed seeing her development and growth as I read more.

I thoughts the first book was interesting. I felt the label of vampire is a stretch for the characteristics of the species. I felt this book there were a lot of jumping around.

I loved Blood of the gods. I had read cloak of the vampire on kindle unlimited so was extremely excited to find an advance copy of this available on net gallery so I could skip waiting until official publication. This series is really well written with a compelling story, something that a lot of Romantasy books forget is important. Although, that doesn’t mean the author held back on the spice ;) Would recommend this series for anyone who is a fan of Geneva Lee’s filthy rich vampire series.

A well deserved 5 stars.. being the second book in the series I was already hooked.

To find out the fate of Aileen after the auction, we follow her story to find there’s more than we first thought. Without giving anything away, this book is truly brilliant and I can’t wait for the third in the series!

A solid second book in the Cloak of the Vampire series.

We follow Aileen on her journey into Altons league. She tries to make a new Home for herself to help forget Ragnors Betrayal at the auction. She throws herself into her new job and friends. But her suspicions start to grow as her new lord starts making advances.

This book explores the vampire and supernatural world further. We learn a little more about the children of kahil and what that could mean for Aileen. There is plenty of intrigue mystery and danger on the horizon. Let not forget thats theres also get plenty of super hot spice.

This was a very wild ride-as far as reading a novel goes. I liked the non-stop action without the teenage angst that comes with highly dramatic teen novels. I loved reading about a female main character with a dark, mysterious past and her efforts to fight for her future in a cruel vampire society. She also fights pretty hard against loving a bad boy, but keeps getting sucked right back into that drama. I would highly recommend this series for those who love romantasy.

Oh. My. Lord!!!!

Just wow. Thank god we learn more about Aileens past as well as Ragnors, BUT there are still so many questions and I cannot wait to find out and see where this book is going!

There was so much that happened in this book that gave you answers but also I kept asking questions! One thing was answered but others were brought up! The spice!!!! we all knew there would be good sex scenes and Sapir did not disappoint.

I cannooootttt wait to read the next book (I am hoping it’s the last one because I hate waiting!!)

Vampire romance with a mystic touch

I'm happy that in book two, we got to know more about Aileens past.
The story is well written, and we got both POV'S (Aileen & Rayne) in the third person. This double POV'S help me to get better access to both inner motivations.
And the language is easy even for an non native reader to understand.

Into the story:
We're getting right into the story by getting a little glimpse into what we already know from Aileens life from book one. We pick up right after how book one ended. Now that the auction is done, Aileen needs to get into new customs of a new league.
The story is getting a lower pacing with all Aileen needs to get through, and even her feelings are at another place.

Characters:
Relationships are complicated, and with all that came into Aileens life, there are friendly and not so friendly people, aka vampires, in her way. She needs to get her feelings sorted and realize what she can do. I could relate to Aileen, but on little bits, I was questioning her "maturity."
But in the end, I got it.
About Rayne. I like him, but sometimes I wish to put some sense into his stubborn head. Chapter by chapter from his side, I was able to get there, too. I marked a few of his lines that are truly romantic.

Conclusion:
A well written second book in the "Vampire Cloak"- Series with strong headed main characters. A well and strong plotted book with a touch of romance and a little mystic sense.

Information
This is the second book of the Vampire cloak series.
1. Vampire Cloak
2. Blood of the gods


I've got an advanced reader copy through netgalley. This hasn’t influenced my experience nor opinion of the story.

This is the second book in the Cloak of the Vampire series. It picks up right after Aileen has been sold to a new vampire faction and it's juicy, full of twists and also ends on another great cliffhanger.

Aileen goes through all the stages of grief after she ends up being sold; anger, sadness, grief, etc...trying to accept her new place, and just when she's beginning to settle in, Lord Rayne appears to turn her world upside down again. 

Ragnor Rayne realizes he made a mistake once Aileen is gone. This man is the head of his own vampire group and he doesn't bow down to anyone, but he makes an exception for Aileen. There is a new side that emerges in this book and while there are still secrets to be uncovered to this very old vampire, I love what's being uncovered for the woman he can't seem to stay away from.

There is a ton of great tension in this book, it dripped off of the pages. While uncovering a deeper understanding of past events, there are also new mysteries that I'm hoping get resolved in the next book. This world just gets bigger and wider and I'm so engrossed in all of it. I'm craving all the things. I can't wait to see what happens next.

This can't be read as a standalone, please read responsibly and read each book in order.
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the copy of this book.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an Advanced Readers Copy of this book in exchange for a review.

Full disclosure before I start this review. I have not read book one yet so this is my review based on what I read for book two.

I was quite excited to start this book if I’m honest, the blurb instantly had me hooked and the fact that this had Vampires in the mix made me want to read this book even more. I would say this book had everything I wanted in a book including immersive descriptions that made me want to keep reading. This was a captivating book that instantly drew my attention from the first page. I quite enjoyed how Aileen’s backstory was weaved into the story as well.

I’d rate this book a five out of five. It was a really good book.

**I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**

THAT CLIFFHANGER!! I absolutely need book 3 NOW.

This book picks up right where book 1 left off and the angst, the tension, the romance is just perfection.

I can't say much about this book because I don't want to give away spoilers but if anyone was ever on the fence about picking this series up, DON'T WASTE A MINUTE run and I mean RUN to grab the first book!

This story was so captivating I loved it! The plot just keeps building and building and you really get hooked into the story.

Blood of the Gods is the thrilling second installment of the Cloak of the Vampire series. It picks up immediately after the first book ends with Aileen’s departure from the Rayne League. While Aileen is reeling from the loss of Ragnor and the events of the auction, she must continue to adjust to her life as a vampire in a new setting. When Aileen first arrives at the Atalon League everything appears to be as it should be, that is except for the gaping hole Ragnor has left in her heart. However, slowly the truth of the League’s secrets begins to reveal itself. With these emerging secrets and Aileen’s newfound magic, she must figure out a way to manage the many new problems bombarding her.

This book features a dual point of view, which allows us to get a much-needed look into Ragnor’s head after his actions at the end of the first book. Additionally, the author explores both Ragnor and Aileen’s backstories in more depth which helps build both characters and give us an idea of why they are the way they are. This book was riveting, and just like the first I could not put it down. I cannot wait for the coming third book in the series.

Thank you to the author and publishing team for providing the ARC of this book. I am so thankful for the opportunity to read it and leave a review!

Blood of The Gods, book 2, Cloak Of The Vampire series
Vampires , mystery , romance , gods , dual pov, political , spice 4/5

Blood of the gods is the sequel to Cloak of the Vampire and falls back into where the last book left off and in many ways was better than the first book. The author expands on the dark sumptuous world of vampire leagues, with a mix of fantasy and romance there is a heavier focus on the complex power and political dynamics within vampire society.
Sapir takes us deeper into Aileen Henderson's backstory, revealing more about her past which is what I wanted most after finishing the first book. Also, with a look into Ragnor Raynes history which adds an extra layer of intrigue especially as the tension is still simmering away between the two characters.
One of the main highlights for me was the development of the world building in particular the inner workings of the vampire leagues. Aileen finding herself in this world finds there are enemies around every corner and alliances cannot be trusted. However, she must stand strong and carve out a path for herself within this world. But just as she thinks she may have found her way, ancient gods come out from within the shadows. This forces Aileen to relive nightmares from her past, but also reveals a destiny she could never have imagined.
Blood of the Gods is a brilliant continuation from the first book, and I feel the next book is only going to get better as we are building for a dramatic conclusion. This series is perfect for fans of vampire romance with an added element of intrigue , political systems which create a world that is both dangerously addictive and seductive.

thank you to the publisher Montlake and Netgalley for the chance to read the Arc.

In this second book of the cloak of the vampire series, there’s a lot more tension involving between friends and lovers. Involving a love-triangle, secrets, hidden alliances and unresolved/uncovered feelings- I’m excited for the 3rd book!

Overall, there seemed to be more character development in this one than the first, which I liked.

I was so excited to get to this one after book 1! It definitely felt a bit slower than the first book but i honestly didn't mind that since we got to know more about Aileen and her past. We also dive deaper into the world and get to know things about the "food chain" as well as other information. This book had a lot of action, suspense, romance, tension as well as a lot of spice.

This was definitely a strong second book where the ending left you waiting for more. And I honestly can't wait for book 3 to come out!

Thank you Netgalley, the publisher Montlake and obviously the author Sapir A. Englard for this eARC copy in exchange of an honest review.

4.0 🌟 1 🌶️

VAMPIRES. MYSTERY. ROMANCE. GODS. DUAL POV.

What a great sequel to Cloak Of The Vampire. With how the first book ended I was super excited to be able to jump back into this world. It started off a little slower than the first but when it picked up it was great!

We start right back up where we left off with Aileen being in her new league and diving more into her past and the Morrow Gods. The action and the plot development were great and that cliffhanger at the end.

I will say I was missing some of that tension from the first book but towards the end the spice makes up for it! 🥵

I can't wait for the next book to come out because I will definitely be picking it up!

Thank you to Netgalley for sending me an arc of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I loved the first book in this series. This one was maybe better than the first book- I got a bit bored with the first 20% of the first book. This one didn't have that. We pick up right after the auction at the Atalon league and get acquainted with some members of that league and how it works. The book is still in Aileen and Ragnors viewpoints and we get answers (or at least I did) to some of the questions we had at the end of book 1, but we have many new questions at the end of this book. I'm invested in this storyline and am enjoying it! Can't wait for book 3!

Blood of the Gods, the sequel to Cloak of the Vampire, picks up where the first book left off, and in many ways, it surpasses its predecessor. Sapir A. Englard continues to expand the dark and intricate world of vampire Leagues, blending romance and fantasy with a stronger focus on the complex politics and power dynamics within vampire society.

This installment dives deeper into Aileen Henderson's backstory, revealing more about her mysterious past while also shedding light on Ragnor Rayne’s history. The exploration of their origins adds a new layer of intrigue, especially as the tension between them continues to simmer. While Aileen’s character can still be grating at times, her development feels more promising now that her secrets are out in the open. I’m hopeful she will become more relatable in future books.

One of the highlights of Blood of the Gods is the expansion of the world-building, particularly the detailed workings of the vampire Leagues and the introduction of new supernatural creatures. The "food chain" within this world, and how different beings relate to one another, is fascinating and adds a unique depth to the story.

The book feels like it’s building towards an epic battle in the third installment, which I’m looking forward to. The pacing and plot are more engaging than in Cloak of the Vampire, with heightened stakes and a sense of looming conflict that keeps the reader invested.

Special thanks to NetGalley and Sapir A. Englard for the chance to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review—I'm excited for book 3!
