5 stars – Vampire/Historical Romance

The fifth and final book in Smith’s Brotherhood of the Blood vampire historical romance series doesn’t disappoint. The series has a unique take on vampire mythology, centering on six soldiers who became vampires by drinking from an ancient chalice infused with the essence of Lilith. Night After Night focuses mainly on vampire leader Temple’s relationship with feisty red-headed heroine Vivian, but it also reunites all the characters from the...more

The series had potential and this vampire's story was long awaited. The book was a good read but as the final installment for the five original vamps, it is a let down. A couple of the books are good but not this one. If it was not the last one, it would have been for me. I don't like that the book ended in the present time without clearly demonstrating how the vamps worked together to vanquish their foes. I thought Ms. Smith did a great job describing the timeframe -- early 1900s or so, ma...more

Excelent Ending for this series - I couldn't put the book down and read it straight through.

The Order of the Silver Palm finally comes to an end when Villiers the Order's leader tries to bring back Lilith through the ritual where "The scripture says, 'The noble organs of five fallen women mixed with the blood of five first-generation vampires will give the Mother life, freeing her from her prision.'That is what's needed to give her form." Pg 332

The Order of the Silver Palm finally comes to an end when Villiers the Order's leader tries to bring back Lilith through the ritual where "The scripture says, 'The noble organs of five fallen women mixed with the blood of five first-generation vampires will give the Mother life, freeing her from her prision.'That is what's needed to give her form." Pg 332

However, in order for Lilith to take form, he has to sacrifice his chosen one which happens to be Vivian, a girl he bought from a circus when she was real young and raised her knowing she was a decendent straight from Lilith. Vivian however doesn't know this growing up and doesn't find out until after she has fallen in love with Temple.

So in this ritual, Villiers plan works up to the point of using Vivian as bait to draw Temple in and his Bloodbrothers of the blood but gets a big surprise when Lilith doesn't use Vivian's body for Liliths form to go into and inhabit.

Villiers gets another surprise, bringing Lilith forth and his expectency of her being thankful and granting him anything he wishes for - well is not what he gets. Actually this pisses Lilith off that he would harm her children and actually kill Vivian when he realizes he's not going to get what he wants. All hell breaks loose and The Bloodbrothers and Lilith tear the place apart. Villiers meets his end but Temples love is laying on a table dead and his heart is breaking.

Lilith and the Bloodbrothers feel his pain and Lilith takes Vivian in her arms and gives her immortality by turning her into a vampire then gives her to Temple and tells him to take care of her for eternity.

I loved how this story ends - Now that the Order of the Silver Palm is completely destroyed and Lilith has been brought forward and freed, she needed to learn about the earths people so she ends up staying in Clare, Irland where Temple had bought a place that was a school that worship the goddess Lilith - what better way to have the goddess herself teach at her own school while she learned about the humans way of life.

All the Brotherhood return back to their lives and some of them actually even have children later on in life and Lilith eventually leaves the school in hunt for Sammael, the man who had originally imprisioned her in to the chalice that the Brotherhood drank from in the beginning. Who knows, maybe one day she will catch him - I feel sorry for him if she catches him - LOL

Once again, great ending for the series.(less)

The fifth and final book in the Brotherhood of the Blood series doesn't disappoint (only barely). This story is of Temple and Vivian in yet another captor and captive saga. The tension between the two is palpable from the beginning, and the couple don't make any qualms of getting it on early while the going's hot.

Temple has been captured by Rupert Villiers (a fine name for a villain, I say) and Vivian has been assigned to "take care" of Temple. Of course, she feels immedia...more

I love her take on vampire origins. I enjoyed the series, but after reading the last book, I was a little lost trying to remember what each couple's story was. There was a reunion of sorts, so they're all in the same room. Reading the other books, or maybe even the backs of them, might be helpful. You do get some clues to jog your memory, but I've read so many books in between that it wasn't as helpful as quickly as I would have liked...but that's just me. I remember now, too, that the book...more

This was a great book. I loved how it put everything together from all the other books. And you learned why all those things were happening. It was great how all the couples got together and fought. I just loved it. And Temple was great! And it just broke my heart to see Temple crying at the very end. When that happened you just knew how much he loved her and how he regretted not telling her sooner. O it was great. I enjoyed reading about what happened to them all in 2009. The epilogue tells you...more

A bit disjointed but perhaps this is because one needs to read the first 4 books in the series. An odd twist on the tale of Lilith which indicates that vampires are her offspring and that other branches of her family are present as well. A paranormal romance with the requisite erotic encounters that presupposes prior acquaintance with many of its characters.

This is the final book in this "okay" series. New twist to the vampire story with some historical accuracy in the referrals to Lillith. However, characterization of Lillith completely bizarre and doesn't really fit for me (kinda picture her more like L.A. Banks writes her).

Not the greatest series but if you run out of books, these will work.

This one is slow to start but it works itself into an excellent story. They dynamics between Vivian and Temple are spectacular. This storyline is fresh and new and has wonderful twists and turns. Even a few surprises. A terrific conclusion to the Brotherhood of the Blood series.

This is the last installment in the Brotherhood of the Blood. I loved all the books in the series. The latest book is Temple's story. This series was originally recommended to me. From the first I was taken by the series, the time period and the history & myth of the vampires. I thought it was great that all 5 vampires came together finally. In every book you get the sense they are ever moving towards each other. This last book is a coming together, of vengeance and of course love. Although it w...more

Kathryn Smith wraps up her Brotherhood of the Blood series with a bang. This time Temple finally gets his story, his lady, a reunion with his brothers and a chance to take down the bad guys of the Order of the Palm. A great ending to an enjoyable series. A definite addition to the re-read shelf!
