Vampire Queen #1 – The Vampire’s Servant

The Vampire Queen’s Servant by Joey W. Hill
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Lady Elyssa Yamato Amaterasu Wentworth is a centuries-old vampire who’s been given a new servant-Jacob, a total alpha male unaccustomed to submitting to any woman’s wishes. What really binds Jacob to her are not her sensual midnight hungers, but something far more provocative. It stirs her blood, renews her life, and awakens her soul like only true love can. The passion between Elyssa and Jacob yields something else unexpected-a shared history that reaches back through the centuries and is fated to challenge their destiny like nothing ever will again.”

I really enjoyed this. It’s a lot steamier than a lot of other Vampire stories – bordering on BDSM. If you like a bit of erotica with your vamp stories you’re bound to like this. It is definitely not for the faint hearted though, so if you’re easily offended, it might be as well to give this a wide berth.

The story is fast paced and does a good job of setting the scene and explaining the background, without taking too much time or slowing the story down. You get to know the characters well, though some of Lyssa’s actions and comments are annoying. Yes she’s a 1000 year old vampire, but sometimes you wish she’d just get over herself and let Jacob in! Jacob by the way is hot hot hot and makes a great male lead.

Looking forward to the next installment.
