REVIEW

I have read each of these books separately and I am adding my reviews for them to this set.

Alexander's Blood Bride (Vampires of London #1)
Alexander is a very old vampire who has a yearly Halloween Bash at his luxurious estate. Shelly and her roommate Cat go. At first Cat thought, she would be bored but she becomes intrigued with the paintings and furnishings. Alexander is immediately taken with Cat but when he tries to make a move, it freaks her out and she leaves.
One issue now for Alexander is everyone in the Vamp world wants Catherine and he has no clue how to protect her unless she allows him back into her life. A damn Blood Bride is what she is. Things could go downhill quick.
Alexander is an alpha male but also has real intentions towards Catherine.
Catherine is no throw over although she is shy.
A very good vampire story.


Michael's Soul Mate (Vampires of London #2)
We met Michael back in book 1 of this series. He is one hilarious vampire. Well Fate has something up her sleeve for this playboy. Enter Anna whom he finds one night lying almost dead after being attacked but by what? All Michael knows is he feels a pull towards this female and rescues her or does he? Michael carries so much guilt that it almost costs him this woman two times.
I enjoyed this story. Anna is a firecracker for sure and well Michael is Michael and if not for his good friend Alexander he would likely have lost the one thing that was meant for his.


Lucille's Valentine (Vampires of London #3)
We have met Lucille in the two previous books. She is an Enforcer on the Vampire Council and in the last book she has taken a criminal back to the council. But she wants to know what Marek is hiding. She is a bit shocked to find Julius knows who he is.
In the meantime she is sent out on another mission and whether she was to or not she will be working with another. This other hunter has wormed his way into her soul.
They both are out on the same mission to save mankind.
Will Lucille figure out why this other hunter seems so familiar? Valentino is just way pushing his way right into her every thought, every feeling. But can he accept Lucille for what she is? And can she accept him for what he is?
Well grab your copy and find out. This book gives you just the right amount of suspense, action and romance.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily reviewing it!

I am always a big fan of the paranormal and paranormal romances, so this fell right into my avenue :)

Book 1: Strong start to the series. Each character is explored in depth. I felt like I connected right away to the writing and the setting. I thought this was a fun read and this was my favorite book out of the bunch!

Book 2: We see a different side of Michael as his character is explored more in this story. I do wish it had been longer. I felt like the love story was going places, but it was just a little short for my liking.

Book 3: My least favorite. Had my least favorite character. Least favorite storyline. Was short again. Not much to say except that the other two books were stronger, and really the main thing wrong with them is just that they were a bit too short. More developed and I'd give this a 5 star, well maybe a 4.5 due to the third book being about my least favorite character.

Overall the writing is clear, characters are explored in depth, and the setting is fun!

Vampires of London is quite a sexy and thrilling paranormal romance. This box set has three novellas that can be read as a standalone. Nevertheless, they are connected through characters and situations, which is kind of a relief. Otherwise, I feel that the flow of the books might have been lost. The first novella of the series is Alexander’s Blood Bride. As you can guess, our hero is Alexander. A mysteriously handsome vampire that has a certain charm that will make you like him from the very first page. I liked the plot even thought it was a little predictable at some point. It had a kind of rushed pace but I feel the scenes weren't forced, which is important for the plot development. Nevertheless, there is things Blood Bride theme in the novel that made me a little uncomfortable. This theme got very popular with the Diabolik Lovers anime and other pieces of literature. However, I believe that the author made this theme, her own in a unique way. The only objection I have about the book is the fact that I feel that Cat, out heroine, didn't experiment a proper character development.

Michael’s Soul Mate is the second book of the series. We got to see a little bit of Michael, our womanizer vampire, in the first book. Nonetheless, in this one, we get to see a different side to him. Everyone knows the story of the handsome and charming playboy, it is so cliche. Nevertheless, few can do what Lorelei did. She made us get in touch with a slightly vulnerable side of our hero, which was totally refreshing and captivating. Also, who wouldn't fall for his protective side? That was one of the perks of Alex's story too! I liked Anna, our heroine, a lot. Perhaps a little more than Cat. Anna is shy but has also a strong character. Maybe I am just in love with the idea that a woman could make a man want to be better. I know it sounds cliche but I call this a CLASSIC! And classics never get old :)

The last book of the series is Lucille’s, Valentine. Our heroine is quite a difficult character, but perhaps that happened because it hit too close to home. She is not a team player and she seems kind of cold and untouchable. Honestly, she seems difficult to relate and like but there is more to her than meets the eye. Sometimes, one just needs the right person in their path in order to take a big step toward a better path. I believe this happened to Lucille. I am such a fan of enemies to lovers and I believe everyone that share my taste for such a theme will love this book.

This boxed set of three about novella length stores is a nice read. Overall I really enjoyed the stories and will tell my thoughts on each book.

Book 1: Alexander’s Blood Bride
This book was such a great start into this series! I immediately connected with the characters and was amazed on how good they were portrayed since it is “only” novella length. Yet the author manages to portray each character in his/her unique way with just a few words. It was truly amazing and I am really glad I could read this story.
Alexander and Cat fit very well together and overcome the obstacles that are thrown in their direction with ease – together.
There was just one thing that felt wrong for me: Cat’s unique trait seemed so important and like the hint to something far bigger and more dangerous and yet, in the end no one is interested in her anymore. That didn’t make so much sense.
4 stars for this one

Book 2: Michael’s Soul Mate
Michael and Anna. We already met Michael in Alexander’s book and he seemed like the typical cliché vampire: charming and womanizing. Well, in this book we see a completely different side of him and I am glad about it. He is caring and wants to protect his fledgling from the world and even himself. He still is charming, but sees that he can’t continue with his womanizing ways if he wants to keep Anna with him.
And Anna, beautiful, shy Anna. Her confusion and anger was really good portrayed and I liked her even more than Cat, because she showed more fire and managed to help herself to survive. She is a survivor and I would have loved for their story to be longer to see more of them.
4 stars

Book 3: Lucille’s Valentine
I didn’t like Lucille in the other books, not even when she helped Michael to find Anna. She seemed standoffish and a stickler to the rules who would have stabbed her brother in the back if her maker would have wanted her to. It continues this way in her book. Her actions don’t really make sense to me. Why does she want to know so much about the power Marek has achieved? What is in it for her? And also her “feelings” for Valentine didn’t seem real, or deep. Not like the feelings of the other couples in the series. Maybe it was my general dislike for Lucille that made me not enjoy her book as much as the first two ones, but yeah, I couldn’t connect with her. She seemed more shallow than all of the other characters in the other books, which made it hard for me to stay in the story.
Aaaand the end. I didn’t know what to do with it. Seriously. It felt incomplete and not thought through. In my opinion this book was the weakest of all three and would totally put me off from reading more of this series.
2 stars

Overall I would recommend this boxed set as a fast and good read with nicely developed characters and a story line without plotholes or too many things that make no sense. The author has a good writing style that makes it easy to slip into the story and come back only when you have finished everything. Other than the last book I really liked the endings and all the things that happened.
All in all: 3.5 stars

Disclaimer: I was provided an Advanced Reader’s Copy of the book and decided to provide my honest review. Vampires of London is a must read. It has been a while since I have indulged in a vampire read and this was the one to re-engage with. The set is three novellas telling the lives of interconnected vampires - a brother, sister and a friend. Overall, the books told the story of how each found love. They all did so in different ways, depending on their situations, personalities, and occupations. The author’s writing, in many ways, could be described as poetic – hypnotizing for it overwhelmed senses. I felt as if I was engaged in the story - a part of - rather than outside reading. Her writing and the storyline drove me to want to turn the next page and the next and so on. I mention storyline versus storylines. Yes, there are three storylines, but there is one central compelling storyline that overall connects all three stories. This is definitely a five-star collection and my only criticism is not knowing when or if books four through six will be forthcoming, and, if so, will they build on the lives of the characters that just found each other? RECOMMENDATION: Buy and Read the Book – it is a really good read. –Tex.

I've read these individually and each one got better then the previous. I hope there will be more but only Lorelei will know. I cant guarantee that their ain't any spoilers in my review since these were written previously.

Blood Bride
Halloween party have more then people in costumes and then there are the hungry vampires.
Cat was invited to a Halloween party by her best friend and roommate Shelly. What she will find out at the party will blow her mind, a whole new world of paranormal. And when she finds out that they are all after her but Alexander, the host that made her feel things and vice versa for him, but he will be the only person that will protect her from the ones that want to bathe in her blood.
Felt rushed in a way, the ending was only two weeks after the big bang. It was good.

Soul Mate
Great story brought in Alex and Cat from the first story as well as the ever delightful Lucy. Michael found his complete opposite but also have many things in common when they were human and their first time waking up feeling different after being changed. Got new threats, a new bonding. But the ending it just cuts off with new hint how Anne will take to Michael's plans, that I would have loved to read.

Valentine
Wow, best one of the 3 in my opinion.
400 year old hardened female enforcer will meet her match, and he's a vampire Hunter and a human. We've read how Lucille has operated in the past in her vampire brother Alexander and his blood bride Catherine, how she helped Michael defeat a Soul Eater to save his Anne, but for this warrior she will face her worst nightmare, her feelings. Merek is back to face his punishment but the elders on their council and a few other will be even more shocked to see something no other vampire/ Nightwalker has ever done and there is a lot more to Marek then just killing humans there is a connection to the head jacka$$, Julius but only Lucille will be the other person that will now the real truth. Valentino is the last of his family line from Italy, 32 and still unlocking the paranormal activity but he has science on his side and training from his grandfather and father to got him still living to fight day by day. He is on the hunt in London and he to is seeking out a skeletal creature killing people, and his hunt crosses paths with a beauty that is also on the hunt. Unlikely duel teaming up to hunt their worst enemy. Will a vampire and her sworn enemy a Hunter be able to team up without trying to kill each other. Alexander and Catherine will pop up a few times, truths and cover ups will be exposed and a newfound happiness for a warmer Lucille and her partner. Told in both p.o.v, HEA. Will there be more? Maybe but this was a great ending for Lucille , which I've been hoping she would get her heart melted to allow someone in from first meeting her in Alex's story.

A great set of fun sexy reads. These three stories about vampires and their mates all contained action and separate plots that made for fun and fast reads. All three couples had great chemistry and were likeable. And I have to say that I really liked Lucille and Valentino's story the best. I loved that she was the enforcer for the vampire council. Great way to start this series and all the stories were well written. I am voluntarily giving my honest review on an Arc I received.

*voluntarily and honestly reviewed the ARC I received from IndieSage PR*

I liked this. It's one of the few (if any) vampire books I've read that talk about blood brides and soul eaters, another set of awesome vampire lore that I didn't think I could love more about the fang community. Moone's take on the myths makes this another unique read for me, something I won't be forgetting about anytime soon.

Of the three stories, which were all fast-paced and filled with good suspense and romantic moments, my favorite would have to be Lucille's, mainly because I'm a sucker for star-crossed lovers and already being invested in the vampire world allowed me to fangirl over the vampire and hunter's dance around. It was a good set that entertained me.

Amazing Series
I completely enjoyed reading this series, having the books in one is even better! You could read them add standalone novels, but to get the complete picture you need to read them in order and with this set in one you hit the jackpot! Each story is based on one of the vampires but they're all inner-connected. Well worth the read!! It's harder to review a series than an individual book because I don't want to give anything away! I enjoyed reading each story and especially enjoyed the audible version, Gethyn Edward did an awesome job to capture the essence of the story (Book1)! *It’s the ultimate forbidden romance; the love between a mortal and a vampire. What is it that makes flirting with death so utterly tempting? Read on and find out. This story is intended for adult audiences only. (*directly from book 1) I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book via IndieSagePR for an honest blog tour review.
