Allure of the Vampire King
by Bella Klaus
Allure of the Vampire King by Bella Klaus is an engaging paranormal romance novel and the first in her Blood Fire Saga series. This book really captured my attention from the beginning and kept me page-turning all the way to the end.
Allure of the Vampire King is about a young woman who has lived her whole life believing that she's a Neutral, someone born without magic, but isn't human. I like that she has managed to create a life for herself as much as possible without running away from magic. Things are a bit confusing at times, because she and others like her have to keep the magical world hidden from humans. It's a bit of a reach for me at times, because it seems like humans would have picked up on something here and there, but...apparently not. Mera, is also struggling with a painful past that she'd rather keep locked away deep inside her heart, but that's about to go out the window when an ex makes an unexpected appearance.
The pace of this book is pretty good. I like the twists and surprises that the author mixes into this book to keep things engaging. It all starts with a strange presence following Mera in the beginning and quickly morphs to more with the appearance of a strange bracelet that sinks into her skin after attaching itself to her. I practically devoured this book to find out what was going to happen next.
My only issue with this book...Mera and all of her unnecessary screeching and screaming with Valentine shows up. I mean...was it really necessary? I found it over the top and she goes from being the "shy, quiet" type to really seeming like a crazy female who needs help...as in...therapy. I mean...she literally has a dude stalking her (okay, he's a persistent idiot) but she never screeches at him. When she's talking to Valentine she apparently thinks that devolving to a shrieking idiot is going to get her answers to her questions...sorry, but that's not how things work. I honestly figured something was up when he just saunters in and acts like everything is normal, but then she devolves to a snapping crocodile. I didn't like how rude she was, and felt that if she had just shut her mouth she might have gotten an explanation and a bit of a quicker resolution to things.
This book really is well written and I can't wait to read the next book in this series. I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. If you enjoy a good paranormal romance with twists and turns then this is a good book to pick up.
