Review courtesy of All Things Urban Fantasy
The Vampire Empire series has been a cinematic thrill ride from start to finish. High adventure, pulse-pounding danger, and sweeping romance have been the calling card of this series since THE GREYFRIAR. Now, in the final book of the series, all out war has broken out between the humans and the vampires. It’s bloody and unforgiving and a powerful sendoff to a fantastic series.
What has remained so compelling throughout this series is the character of The Greyfriar. This legendary hero whose bravery and unmatched prowess with a blade even inspires fear in the vampires. He is nothing short of magnificent, and yet, he doesn’t see himself that way. His secrets won’t allow him to. And he is well matched in Adele, the young princess turned Empress of Equatoria. She has grown into a strong and selfless leader, as well as a formidable threat to the vampires because of her unprecedented geomancer abilities. Together, Greyfriar and Adele have discovered a love that cannot be broken, and a strength that could save the world.
From the first explosive scene depicting a pivotal battle where bombs lit up the night’s sky, briefly illuminating the swarms of vampires descending from the sky, I got chills. Assassination attempts, betrayal, sacrifice, and passion fill THE KINGMAKERS pages leading up to an ending that was nothing short of heroic. Greyfriar and Adele’s romantic adventure will leave an indelible mark on all who read it.
