Daughters of Darkness
Daughters of Darkness
Four authors will each take a different daughter born from the Prince of Darkness, Vlad Montour. (Also known as Vlad the Impaler, an evil villain from history)
Blair – Chrissy Peebles
Jezebel – Kristen Middleton
Victoria – W.J. May
Lotus – C.J. Pinard
Blair: Half witch and half vampire.
She lives with a coven of witches and hasn't had any contact with her vampire heritage. Blair is living the perfect life until one day, everything crashes down around her. She is forced to leave everything she knows and loves, and must go on the run to save her life.
Jezebel: A red-haired vampire/succubus with dark appetites.
She's also a Private Investigator, living in Sin City, and tracking down cheating spouses is her specialty. Life is good, until one night when Jez is visited by a stranger, named Dorian Hart, who hands her a letter with some shocking revelations.
Victoria: Only Death Could Stop Her Now
Victoria is a Hunter Vampire, one of the last of her kind. She's the best of the best.
When she finds out one of her marks is actually her sister she let's her go, only to end up on the wrong side of the council.
Forced to prove herself she hunts her next mark, a werewolf. Injured and hungry, she is forced to do what she must to survive. Her actions upset the ancient council and she finds herself now being the one thing she has always despised -- the Hunted.
Lotus: Don't let the pretty name fool you. This daughter is no delicate flower.
Lotus grew up orphaned. Having no idea who her real parents were, she's been drifting around the U.S. for over 100 years moving every 15 years or so since she just doesn't seem to age. She'd figured out on her own that she had to be at least part vampire, as she needs to suck on a few blood bags a month to survive.
Working as a detective with the Denver P.D., Lotus is searching desperately for a serial killer who is murdering the homeless of the city. Except these are not ritualistic or thrill killings. These victims have been drained of blood and Lotus knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they have been committed by a vampire.
Her search will take her to Las Vegas, and that is where the true adventure will begin, when she finds out who has been searching for her.
All stories are "Part I" to each Daughter's journey.

I want more!
Great starts! Wish these came in full length novels, I can't wait to finish each story, and hopefully a grand ending.

Recommended reading order of the sisters:
Blair- Just enough to reel me in & crave the rest. Half-breed vampire/witch taking place in Salem, Massachusetts? Sign me up. Can't wait to read about the rest of the sisters.
Victoria- I recommend reading this segment next because it gives her perspective of the "encounter" and then expands on it. Only thing I didn't like was that there were a few inconsistencies in the dialogue between this version & Blair's.
Lotus- A faery/vampire combo should be interesting. She's not as well versed in her gifts like Victoria & Jezebel but manages to hold her own in the human/ supernatural world.
Jezebel- oh I like her. Maybe it's because I have a soft spot for succubi though. She's quite the badass using her "gifts" to help others. I'd like to read the rest of her story.
I wish the part 2 of these stories was in a single book like this. All of the sisters meeting up & fighting off Vlad together would be AH-MAZING! Definitely recommend this one. It's pretty badass.

Well this was a good start to the series. I liked the fact that they are sister and you find out more about them and the family through the series. It was a bit weird reading them in this order but that was my thought for reading the box set and not finishing each series first. My favorite was the 4 th book. I like the world and how they are linked but they aren't all aware of each other. It'll be interesting to see why one was sent to kill another and then how she finds out that they are sisters.

This was a book that contained four stories. Each one follows one of the sisters. It ended up being the first book in each sisters story. I was a little disappointed by that. However, I did like how they all interconnected. It will be interesting to see how it all goes down in the end.

Four writers, four main characters, with very different views. Dealing with the fact that their common father wants them all dead. How do they react, when do they meet. As a urban fantasy this actually works very well and I really enjoyed it, especially as the four character drift in and out of each others life and behave very differently.
October 25, 2017
I've noticed in a few reviews that there is a specific order to follow according to how the sisters meet, but I think it's better to read it as is the order it is in. Since it kind of "forces" you to actually remember their encounters.
Blair: Half witch and half vampire. Only she hasn't used her witch powers for more than a century and is to be a threat to the witch coven. She is innocent and has a soft personality. She also works as a nurse. The way she handled everything that's occurred in a short time really proves how strong she actually is, despite her innocent and "soft" personality. She escapes but is then found by Victoria, whom she finds out is her sister. She and Tori are the only sisters who know they are related.
Jezebel: I like her picture on the cover of the book. It's more colourful than the other sisters. Hald succubus and half vampire, she works as a private detective agency which involves other couples. I think this is actually very impressive as she uses her gift to its entirety in terms of the succubus part. Apart from Victoria, I like her the most out of all the sisters. I was hoping to read a full steamy scene, but only got a taste of it. Hopefully, there'll be one in the next book! She is very stubborn and is saved by her Lotus after being attacked in an elevator. Lotus turns out to know the guy and arrests him. She doesn't know they are sisters but knows that there is somehow a link. Since they have something similar.
Victoria: She is a Hunter Vampire and I guess she'll be half werewolf as well, I guess. She is the most badass from the sisters and even more badass than Lotus. She does have a soft spot for her "pet", which I think is really cute and I actually hope for the two of them to fall in love. But that fate is only for the author to decide. She actually worked with her father and is highly favored, yet she still pursues to be the best! She meets Blair and questions her, which I find is very unnecessary for a hunter and then realizes that they're sisters. She doesn't kill her, but rather helps her escapes and ends up being hunted herself and not the hunter. She also discovers things about her life, which she herself did not know and realizes that her father is even a more of a bigger ass than he actually is.
Lotus: Half faery and half vampire. She is the epitome of life and death itself. Just like her other sisters, she uses her gift to serve others by being a detective. Unlike her name, she does not come across as delicate and is said to be uptight, but there were some instances where she kind of let go of her guard down, but when realizing this, she went back to the person she's led on to be. She goes to another place to find a guy who has been committing crimes in her city and finds him in an elevator attacking a lady who is actually her sister, Jezebel. Still unknown to her, she notices that both of them have the something in common.
All of them have a bounty against them and in all stories, they have a love interest. Different sisters, with different personalities and each with different reasons to hate their father.
I feel that since it was different stories, it should have been longer. It's like we got the plot of the story too quickly. I still absolutely loved it, though and it definitely deserves a 4 star!
Since I've basically read 4 books, I'll add 3 of them as read.

Interesting premise. This was an OK read, I enjoyed it but it didn't entice me to continue the series. Also the main characters in some of the stories weren't too interesting.

It's my first book about vampires and lycans. I thought I'd never read this genre because I'm no fan of vampires and werewolves. I randomly picked up this book but immediately I got hooked to it. The 4 interconnected stories of 4 half-sisters were very interesting and the writing style was easy. I felt comfortable with the appropriate amount of detail given by the authors, the stories were not drag at all.
I wished this set included one complete book on each sister. After this book I must say I can try more book of this genre later.

Great series about 4 different vampires
This is a boxset by four different authors covering four of Valds hybrid daughters. They are trying to stay alive while being hunter by daddy and his hunters. One of his daughter's is a hunter, but because she let's one of her sisters go she is know behind hunted. All four stories combin together to bring one amazing story. I can't wait to finish the rest of each one of the daughters stories. This is nothing like any of the current vampire stories out there. If you like hybrid vampire stories make sure to check out this collection.

Family drama
Talk about family drama...four different stories..all either half or full vampires with, unknowingly, the same cruel vampire daddy. They are all just trying to live as normal a life as they possibly can, but hard to do when daddy dearest puts a bounty on them. Four different stories, same daddy, almost same kind of ending...all leading to a book two for each story. Cool details with a plus of good looking men. The Drew in the Lotus 🪷 story seemed the cutest of all.

DNF. This book made me furious! Each of the four novels are parts of a whole book. What a rip off and tease. Having each story stop at the halfway point does not make what want to purchase the last half. Sorry, ladies, but I don’t like gimmicks.
So let’s see. The first half of the first novel was okay, but it was only just getting started and only just hooking me. It would really only be the first quarter or a novel, in my opinion. Oof. So over it.

This book is amazing.
I like the fact that you can read this amazing book, and the different stories in a bundle. Instead of having to keep buying Individual books. I would suggest this book bundle for anyone who likes or loves paranormal reading material that's clean without sex.

You will find the answers that you need
Four sisters are about to find out each other and they will need to stay away from each other as their insane evil father Vlad needs their powers. But how do you run when everyone is after you? Who can you trust? A good selection just enough to hook you in.

Very good anthology! 4 sisters who didn't know about each other all on the run from dear old dad Vlad who is trying to kill them for their special powers. Exciting, sexy and intense! I have to find the follow up books to this anthology it is that good! Exciting, sexy and intense!

Daughters may not always agree but don't mess with them.
The raking is because no matter what sisters stick together in a fight. This well make your heart hurt but it all comes together at the right times.

A nice little teaser set
A few of the stories were a bit hard to follow and I wasn't really attached to Jezebel's but other than that it's a nice little offering to whet your appetite

Good introductions to the series
These were each good introductions to the beginning of the series. I am curious to find out more about the sisters and see how each story unfolds and would recommend this to those who enjoy supernatural books.

A quick short story by 4 different authors. The stories themselves were fine just could of been a bit more fleshed out.

Oh lord no.
November 15, 2017
4 short introductory stories to each author wrote a character/book for a complex interwoven collection with a common antagonist. All Good 3/5

Was not feeling the writing. Tried two different stories, not images enough to continue.

These four women are strong sexy and mysterious.
The books were amazing to read and I think I will get the other sets in the series. Really intense and pleasurable.
