A Dark Vampire Romance

What kind of fool would beg mercy from a vampire, even if he is a king?

Valdís

I have one hope to keep my lands and people out of the hands of my mother and sister. I must beg the vampire kings to grant me aid and just hope they aren’t hungry as people that annoy them have a way of disappearing.

Knox

I just want my time in charge to pass quickly, until she arrives, begging so sweetly. Her blood sings to mine and her attitude promises anything but the monotony of late. Her problems seem nothing more than a welcome diversion until they attack her in my castle.

The king may have mercy on my people but at what cost?

I love the suspense of the book. Truly can not wait for book 2. The chemistry between Knox and Valdiz is incredible but I can see that the chemistry will be off the charts with Malic as well.

This was a good read. However, it ends on a: CLIFFHANGER! This was an easy read and I liked that. There were a few sex scenes in this book.

PLOT: Valdis goes to the king’s castle, to have her petition against her mother heard. Knox is currently the king occupying the castle at this time (out of the 5 kings / brothers). So, it is him that hears her petition.

While she is there she keeps smelling this incredible, distracting smell and she soon finds the source of the smell. Meanwhile, Knox is in disbelief and he refuses to allow Valdis to leave the castle.

During her stay, there are several attempts, to kidnap Valdis and security has to be amped up. Knox’s time at the castle is quickly coming to an end and his brother (Malic) is getting ready to step up to the plate. How will her presence in the castle, affect Malic and will Valdis have the same effect on him??

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2023

The novel introduces readers to a world of vampires, royalty, and forbidden love, offering a classic premise that has been explored before. The protagonist's journey as she navigates the complexities of this paranormal realm is engaging, and the conflict surrounding her interactions with the enigmatic Vampire King adds a layer of suspense.

However, the execution of the story feels somewhat formulaic, lacking the depth and originality needed to truly stand out. The character development, particularly that of the Vampire King, leaves something to be desired, and their relationship lacks the necessary emotional depth to make it truly compelling.

The pacing of the plot also suffers from inconsistencies, with certain parts feeling rushed while others drag on, impacting the overall flow of the narrative. Additionally, the writing style, though serviceable, doesn't fully capture the ambiance and allure one might expect from a vampire romance.

On a positive note, the world-building is reasonably well-done, offering a glimpse into the vampire society and its power dynamics. The occasional moments of action and intrigue help to maintain interest, but they are not quite enough to elevate the book beyond its average standing.

Mercy of the Vampire King" presents a passable entry into the genre, delivering a mix of romance and supernatural elements that will satisfy some readers. However, for those seeking a more immersive and inventive vampire romance, this book may fall short of expectations. Despite its flaws, it offers a light escape for readers who enjoy a straightforward, uncomplicated paranormal romance read.

I couldn't put it down. I had to know what was going to happen to Vladis and King Knox. It had me on Roller coaster of emotion. There is murder, kidnapping, plotting and spice 🌶️🌶️ I can't wait to find out what happens.

*****Spoilers*****

This one is light and quick despite the seriousness of some of the events that take place. With that being the case, it also feels a little odd. Valdis is a 70 year old woman among other long lives humans whose father passed and left her to inherit everything instead of his widow and her mother as is tradition. Her mother is not reading the will though and Valdis fears her mother is trying to steal her inheritance because of it. She escapes her home and runs to the home of her father's oldest friend Ingemar to try and get help. Instead, Ingemar locks her in a room in their home and tells Valdis she's to marry his son Pelos. Too bad then that Valdis takes off through a window and runs to the castle of the kings who long ago defeated a threat to their island and were blessed by the goddess to live forever. They rule the land, with each of the 5 still living kings ruling for some time before one of their brothers takes over. Currently, King Knox is in residence when Valdis arrives. She petitions Knox for the safety of her people and asks that he help with her mother and to keep their people safe, even if it means her death. Rumors say the kings are sometimes mercurial and will kill petitioners when they're deceitful or for other reasons depending on the king in charge at the time. Knox is more tame and Valdis not only gets Knox to agree to help with her petition but he realizes that she's their mate. The queen to the kings that they were told about and have been waiting for.

There's just not enough explained in the book, information is mostly glossed over without going into enough detail to make it worthwhile I felt. It's hard to get a feel for Valdis early so when she starts to object and talk out of turn to Knox, I was unsure if it's her personality in general or if she was just being bold in the moment. Valdis and Knox kind of do this tango of want before sealing things between them but the book is so short I didn't understand the purpose for it really, the build up and anticipation didn't last long enough for it to be satisfactory once they do cross that line. I'd have liked to learn more about the goddess, the beliefs of the people, and especially about Valdis' mother who seems to be getting some help from another being who is probably on the evil side and opposed to the goddess. That was thrown in at the end, but that tidbit and others just make me wonder why Valdis' mother didn't show her hand a bit sooner. I especially couldn't help but wonder why Knox didn't just kill Valdis' mother, Ingemar, and Pelos given that the former two not only came to the castle to petition for Valdis' return lying about her being mentally unwell and with the hopes of marrying her to Pelos, but once the latter two kidnap Valdis, I would've expected it. Particularly since at that point Knox was beyons the denial he'd been harboring about who Valdis was to him and his brothers. Made zero sense from that perspective. Then there's the difference between the truth and common knowledge about the kings which is mentioned but isn't followed up or delved into deeply enough for anything to really matter. Although I'm really interested in how the story will continue with the introduction of the next brother Malic, I don't see the value in reading on given the price of a book that 161 pages in print length. Fully fleshing the books out and taking more time on the first one or even keeping it as one book if it's going to be these short stories would be much better I think. There were typos throughout as well.

Overall, the story was okay and could've been so much better with the addition of details.

This is a great start to a series. I can not wait to read the next book. Well written and kept me engaged in how things would fall. Left on a bit of a cliffhanger though.

This was a cute story with a good storyline. It just didn’t draw me in like I had hoped though. I am sure there are other supernatural book lovers though that would really enjoy it.
Read the book and make your own determination though.

A different kind of Vampire world. An interesting premise. The characters are good and have some depth, but some things are only hinted at. More like an intro and you need to read more to get a sense of completion.

1.0 out of 5 stars Low quality & amateur writing worse than Wattpad
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 11, 2023

How this book has so many good reviews and an average of 4 stars, absolutely baffles me.
The characters are not just shalllow, they are FLAT, inconsistent and unintelligent, the world building is near to non-existant and the overall writing is atrocious. I have read better written Wattpad fanfictions by 16 year olds.

For example (and this is not 1:1 out of the book), we have a situation where the King seats the protagonist at the table, after she, very cliche like, tripped in front of him. The author then writes that the king seats himself at the end of the table. The next sentence then lets usknow, that she is actually seated right next to him, and not further away like you'd think from the writing.
Or moments later when they are served soup and she watches him eat the soup, and how he brings the spoon to his mouth, then puts it into his mouth and how his lips close around the spoon and then telling herself that she shouldn't watch because she suddenly wants to be a spoon. Oh and her panties are constantly wet even though they have met each other like 2 minutes ago and this is the first time they come together privately outside of royal duties.

And it only gets worse from there, much worse. It's a cheap, cheap thrills short story, ala C-movie level, but even for that, it is bad.
Anybody who appreciates stories with actual substance, logic and quality writing and editing will find no joy in this kindle book. After I finish this I will most likely just remove it from my account permanently, I don't even want to put it into my Kindle 'Trash' collection.
