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

This book was beautifully written. It was nearly 400 pages of love, sacrifice, devotion, and dominance. Joey Hill has out done herself with this series. When I first started reading the first book in this series I was a little....hesitant, but then she gets you invested and involved with the characters. things that you might not be that comfortable with are explained and you start to accept that the characters are real(?). It is a series not to be missed.

This is the 2nd Joey W. Hill that I have had the pleassure of reading. I absolutely loved the The Vampire Queen's Servant couldn't wait to get started on the sequel.

There were many things I loved about this this book, the use and fleshing out of secondary characters, and deeper understanding of Vampire culture and mores. I loved Gideon and hope that he too gets his own story one day. I loved meeting Mason, Danny, and Dev.

This book was almost perfect except for the ending which left me feeling unfullfilled. Being a vampire was so much of Lady Elyssa's essense and to take that away from her just deflated my literary high at the end of the book and left me shaking my head why. The main character went from being a Lioness at the beginning of the book to a Lamb at the end. I think the readers deserved a better payoff for Lady Elyssa and her Sir Vagabon. Anyhoo, still enjoyed the book tremendously and would recommend as as good read.

Previous customers did an amazing job in explaining story details, so that's not what this review is about. My experience suits it better. I will say that I am 25 and have read a lot of books about Vampires (young adult) so its usually pg13 stuff. I stumbled upon this book, and the cover alone won me. Within 30 minutes of reading I was hooked. Joey W. Hill unleashed an erotic, full on crazy world of Vampires and Fae. Her choice in the words she used to describe the environment, the outfits, and sexual encounter are riveting. Though sex and bsdm seems to be in this story...many times. Hill continues to use her fresh ideas and not make the scene redundant. It also gave me an insight on why someone would prefer to be submissive/dominant. I applaud this book and even though my eyes blushed on many occasions, a smile always lingered. Anyone who can not handle a descriptive sex scene or violence, need not buy this book. If both intrigue you, I urge you to purchase. Hope this helps.

I really loved this book. I couldn't put it down. Don't know why, but I didn't notice that it was a continuation of a story before I bought it. But I can say that I am looking forward to reading the first installment and then this one again.

Lyssa and Jacobs story is beautiful! The mass of obstacles both political and viral are intriguing and create a very different story line.

Loved it, want more!

This book makes a great gift for that Vampire junkie in your life! After I read a few pages online I knew she would like it. She read it in one day, good thing I bought her the first two books in the series! Guess I'll have to get her the rest too.
