It was immediate for Roman. In three thousand years, he’d never lost control of his emotions, or his heart. But the moment he laid eyes on Evelynne Farrow, he knew she was the woman who haunted his dreams. And everything changed.Everything.Evie Farrow has always loved a good vampire romance. In fact, she makes a living writing them. While sitting in a coffee shop and working on her next mega-hot book, Evie is approached by a tall, dark, and handsome man who could have been pulled directly from o

The Vampire King – what an amazing way to start a new series!,
I just finished The Vampire King by Heather Killough-Walden and the first word out of my mouth was “WOW!” This author has laid out a fast paced, exciting storyline that makes it almost impossible for the reader to put this book/ebook reader down.
The story of self-published author Evelynne Farrow, who has always believed in vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural creatures, is that of a hard-working young woman who spends most of her time writing stories and taking care of her infirmed parents. She really doesn’t have much of a life, but that soon changes when she unexpectedly meets Roman D’Angelo aka The Vampire King. Roman, who is said to be over three thousand years old, has never met a woman like Evie and that’s where their relationship begins.
As their story continues, you will meet several fascinating characters who work with/are friends of Roman and those who also want to destroy him by any means possible including killing Evie. I love the way this talented author weaves the histories of the secondary characters into the main story which makes the reader want to see these characters reappear in sequels. Some of these characters are the Thirteen aka the Thirteen Kings and each has a special power or ability that is necessary for protecting the Offspring.
This story is rich with details and readers will lose themselves in the progression of Evie and Roman’s relationship and the mysterious twists and turns that this story takes. Be ready for a thrilling and bumpy ride, but promise it will be worth the chills with an ending that leaves you breathless! I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

|Love this new series,
I have to say I was pretty sad when I found out that there would not be any more books in the Big Bad Wolf series. Until I read the first book in the spin off series, Vampire King. I love it! Roman is so powerful and it’s every girls( well this girls) dream to have a gorgeous vampire fall in love with her. Evie is a wonderful heroine. She writes books, IndienAuthor,about Vampires and other beings and always has a larger than life male lead. When faced with an actual Vampire, Evie reacts differently than you would of thought.
I absolutely adored this book and cannot wait for the next installment in the Kings Series.

|Not Disappointed!!!,
Let me preface this by saying I have read almost all of Ms. K-W’s other books and loved them. This one is no exception. I would HIGHLY recommend that you read her other 4 books in the Big Bad Wolf series before reading this one. They will give you back-story and insight that you need to really understand the players on the field in this book (though we are introduced to some yummy new characters)
The book starts out by taking numerous points of view. I was a bit concerned at first at how much we jump around, but I now realize that this was done to set things up not only for this book but also for the others in this series to come.
The author shows the reader some of our favorite characters from the BBW series and also introduces us to Evie, our not quite human female lead who is an indie author and animal lover. The Vamp King, Roman D’Angelo, is ancient. Try 3,000 years ancient and falls for our 30 year old Evie at first sight. He is of course tall, gorgeous, and everything Evie ever imagined as a writer of paranormal literature.
I don’t want to give anything away, but let’s just say that things seriously heat up after the main characters have to battle a seriously evil vamp named Charles, and several enslaved Akyri. I’m really looking forward to and hoping to hear more about Thanatos, the Phantom King and also Ramses, a “God of Gods.”
I was not disappointed with this book or its ending! It left me wanting to know more about what will happen in this world of the Kings.
