Bound by the Vampire Queen,
This review is from: Bound by the Vampire Queen (Vampire Queen Novels) (Paperback)
Joey W Hill is a wonderful writer of erotic and D/s fiction. Her characters are strong and compelling. Her plots are always fresh and well thought out. She has several series and non series books available that span contemporary characters and plots as well as paranormal and urban fiction. Each book is unique and beautifully written.If you are new to the Vampire Queen series, you will probably want to at least read Vampire Queen's Servant and Mark of the Vampire Queen before beginning this book since those two novels introduce Lyssa and Jacob and tell the story of their relationship and commitment to each other. It would also be helpful (though not as critical) to read Beloved Vampire, Vampire Mistress and Vampire Trinity since the main characters in those books have important roles in this book as well. Having said all that, this book begins with Lyssa (who is half vampire and half fae)and Jacob (her mate and servant) being threatened on two sides. The Queen of the Unseelie Court wants Lyssa to come to her to prove how strong her fae powers are. Of course, Jacob will not be parted from her so he goes along and they are forced to complete three quests to determine whether they will be allowed the self determination of returning to the human/vampire world or staying in the fae world. A lot happens while they are in the fae world and the characters are wonderful. I am hoping we see more of that world in the future. The second threat is that the Vampire Council is considering taking Kane, Lyssa and Jacobs' son from them in a political maneuver, as well as trying to force them apart. The plot has wonderful and unexpected twists and turns and is as rich and beautifully written as one comes to expect from Joey's writing. The story is gripping (I started my first read at 7 AM and finished the book at 9 PM, literally could not put it down. I say my first read, because I know there will be many rereads in the near future). For those of you who know the Vampire Queen series, good news! Mason, Jessica, Daegan, Anwyn, Gideon, Lord Brian, Debra and the good and bad Council members all play important roles in the story. I am very hopeful that we see more of the Council make up in future books and how Vampire society accepts (or rejects) the changes that seem to be coming. Such a wonderful book. I can't wait to see the next book in the series!

A Must for the Christmas Season,

This review is from: Bound by the Vampire Queen (Vampire Queen Novels) (Paperback)
Bound by the Vampire Queen, captured my imagination like no book ever has. In my opinion, this story is Joey W Hill's best work. I downloaded my BBtVQ digital edition the morning of December 6 (release date).From the first page to the last, I read nonstop with only a few hours sleep, until I finished the next evening. The whole time I told myself, "Just one more paragraph.", but one more paragraph was never enough because I needed to know what happened next and then next after that. For me the most the most important part of the story plot was the personal challenges in Lady Lyssa's and Jacob's relationship. At first, Lady Lyssa is faced with her own personal demons and doubts about herself and the changing dynamics in her relationship with her servant, Jacob. Jacob, who'd always been an alpha character, had been turned into a fledgling vampire with all Lady Lyssa's former powers, as her Fae powers were developing. This sudden role reversal has left Jacob off kilter with his need to protect to protect his family with his new vampire predatory instincts and leaving Lady Lyssa struggling with uncertainty. Their relationship problems come to a head when Jacob steps in and demands the right to take on his lady's challenges for her. This dissolves Lady Lyssa's trust that her servant will obey her. She finally has to trap Jacob when she leaves to meet her challenge, afraid Jacobs of obsession with protecting her will lead to his death. The challenge takes her to a deadly desert that almost kills her. Jacob rushes to follow her after he's escaped her bonds with the help of an ally. I think the desert rescue is the most dramatic part of the book. When Jacob finds his lady near death, his conflicting desires are forgotten. His only thoughts are to save his lover in a Hail Mary move, as he returns Lady Lyssa to her former vampire strength, Jacob sacrificed being a vampire. Being human again his desires and his need to serve his lady as her full servant bring his emotions and desires into sync. The lover's ordeal in the desert brings their vampire/servant relationship into its natural state as possible as we see later in the story when Lady Lyssa takes down the Vampire Council with her allies and her servant, Jacob's help. I believe it is through books like Bound by a Vampire Queen that we are able to take a step back and take a close look at ourselves our needs, wants, and desires and to see if we are actually in harmony with ourselves and those we love. Bound by a Vampire Queen might be rated as an Erotic Romance but I do not think of it as a romance, certainly not the stereo type romance that my mother read 50 years ago. It has adventure, intrigue, fantasy, conflict and romance. If I could put a label on the book it would be an Erotic Fantasy/Romance, which could be enjoyed by all. I just purchased Joey W Hill's next book Something About Witches - - sold by Penguin -- PRE-ORDER - Available 7 Feb 2012 Kevin Robert Wall
