Book Review of The Mark of the Vampire Queen (Vampire Queen, Bk 2)

The Mark of the Vampire Queen (Vampire Queen, Bk 2)
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


As with the previous book in the series, I was very much drawn into the story and did not want to put it down, wanting to know "what happens next"

Again, as with the first book, there are some very intense BDSM passages as well as what some might consider gratuitous violence/abuse, so if you're not able to immerse yourself into another culture (the Vampire's) where that behavior truly is accepted and even expected by both the Masters/Mistresses and their servants, I would suggest this book may not be for you.

In some ways I felt that the relationship between Lyssa and Jacob jumped farther forward from the ending of one book to the beginning of the next than I would have expected to happen immediately, but it was a minor bump and quickly passed as I got further into the story.

What makes this book so very erotic for me is the overwhelming passion and devotion of Jacob. Despite his own dominant personality, the fact that he truly needs to submit to his Mistress because that is what she needs.

I would not suggest reading this book without having read the previous story The Vampire Queen's Servant. I think it would be too difficult to understand the devotion of Jacob without that background.
