Book Description

Newly crowned Queen Angeline Robart continues to unravel the extent of her family's lies in this continuation of the heart-pounding paranormal Bloodtruth series.

With her father's passing, Angeline's enemies are rising from all sides. She needs
allies, but doesn't know who to trust. There is Connor, the handsome vampire
who captured her heart, but as rumors of a vampire attack within the capital
city's walls reach her ears, she has to consider the possibility that Connor betrayed
her.


Malin, her Chief Advisor and betrothed, is harboring his own secrets. With Malin's
ties to the Clan, the ancient puppet masters of Altera's fate, it appears that
he is eyeing a much bigger prize than just Angeline's hand in marriage.


The stakes couldn't be higher, but Angeline must control her own demons first, otherwise
she can never hope to keep her throne. The answers she seeks are buried in the
past. The threads of Altera's blood history have to be revealed if she ever
hopes to save herself and her kingdom.

The Bloodtruth series:
Heiress of Lies (Bloodtruth #1)
The Queen's Betrayal (Bloodtruth #2)

Trials of Truth (Bloodtruth #3)- Coming March 31, 2013!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great 2nd book of the series!!! September 27, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Wow what a fantastic read, I have been enjoying this series tremendously, I am on pins and needles waiting for the next book.

I won't go into details but I just love Connor!!! He could be my right hand man anyday! This is a YA series that will keep you on your toes, there is lots going on and the mystery will keep you on the edge of your seat, just when you think you have it all figured out Ms. Cege Smith will throw a wrench in the mix and have you rushing to the next page to see what happens next.

Bravo for a great new series and fun characters to read about. I love the strength in the female lead, and feel for her at the same time with all that is getting thrown her way! I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a mysterious, slightly romantic, vampire story! Definately read the 1st book in the series first, this is not a stand alone book... Warning you will be left on a cliff hanger that has you speaking out loud....Nooooo!!! I wasn't ready for it to end!!!!

My Thoughts:

I loved the first book in The Bloodtruth Series, Heiress of Lies, and you can find my review of it here.
I really enjoy period pieces, even if this is more of a fantasy of a different world sort, I would still consider it a historical fantasy fiction. I know that is a handfull but it is what it is.
Let's look at the cover first: I love the drawing of the Queen on the cover with her long black hair. I think it represents Angeline perfectly. This cover is very nice!
The Queen's Betrayal has a lot of different paranormal creatures involved including, vampires, witches, and even a few shifters too. We even get to see a horror aspect to this story especially with the sick and twisted ways of some of the vampires in it. But it isn't very gory; it is more the idea behind it.
I do like our female heroine, Angeline, very much. She is strong, smart, and loyal especially to her kingdom. She is the perfect example of what a queen should be, but she also knows how to ask for help when things get entirely too rough. Sure she has her failings, but if you was carrying the burdens she has, you would have failings too.
I love our fellow gentlemen vampire, Connor. He is one serious heartthrob in this book and I find myself praying for the cure he seems to hold out for. I like the fact he wants to be good but he seems to have this inner struggle to find out what good really is. He wants to protect Angeline but realizes he must make sacrifices to obtain this. He is completely up front about how he is dedicated to Angeline yet there are times he tends to get a little sappy for my tastes.
The other lesser characters are helpful to get the plot twists underway. Malin is still a puzzlement to me. On one hand I want to like him but on the other he continuously ticks me off. I think he crosses the ultimate line in this book and I don't see how he can come back from it this time.
The story and plot lines were creatively crafted to ensure we didn't get bored with the different twists and turns it took.

I did. however, have a problem with some scenes tending to be repeated often. For example, the telepathy scene was replayed from Angeline telling the story and Connor's side too. There were other examples as well.
It also seemed there was a lot of repeating the background information. Which is fine to do that but lets' just do it once and not over and over again. Sometimes I felt like I was reading a recap of the last book in a few pages each chapter.
I also noticed many grammatical errors through out the story. I did get a little confused at some of these mistakes but I was still able to enjoy the novel anyways.
I think if you like the stories with Kings and Queens in them as well as vampires mixed in for added excitement you should give the Bloodtruth series a try. There is a little bit of everything in it to make you happy.
I give it four hearts!

More About the Author

The written word is fundamental to who I am and what I do. When I was a kid, I escaped reality by diving into books that perhaps were sometimes too mature for me, but gave me a glimpse of "what if". I had the typical wild imagination and I was able to dream up all sorts of crazy new worlds to sink into based on the latest book I'd read.

I made my first foray into writing my own stuff when I was twelve. I wrote about two sisters trapped inside a haunted house that was shifting in time. Through high school I carried a little black book with a velvet cover in which I wrote all sorts of teenage angst poetry and ideas for short stories. Then I "grew up" and writing took a back burner to building a career.

*Cue usual music for yearning for things unfulfilled.*

The thing that kicked my butt back into writing was National Novel Writing Month, which I found in 2004. I'm not sure who was more surprised when I finished my first novel that year, me, or the characters I met in the story who finally found a home on a written page.

Since then I've written 4 additional novels and and 2 novellas and there is plenty more where that came from. I need to quiet the manic voices in my head! But whatever I write there always seems to be a paranormal element of some kind (ghosts, vampires, zombies, witches, wolves). The genre I land in seems to be more dependent on where the story is set, and I really have no issue with that.

I hope you'll connect with me here, on my blog, on Twitter, or Facebook and let me know what you think about my work. I'd love to hear from you!
