Taken By The Vampire King (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Read pretty much like Seduced By a Vampire King. There is no storyline here other than the King finding his mate. Kaira a photographer, dying of cancer, travels to Norway where she enters a juried photo gallery competition. Of course she is attacked by the Soul Eaters, rescued by the King and in one day falls in love with him. Small peeve...the reader never finds out if she won the competiton. Would knowing this change my rating...no. I love Laura Kaye's writing style, and was excited to see a new book release, but this one was just meh due to lack of storyline and repetitveness of the last book. Taken by the Vampire King is a fast paced romantic and emotional love story between Henrik, our Vampire King who is dying of an unknown blood ailment and Kiara, who is dying from Leukemia. The emotional scenes between Henrik and Kaira are so beautifully written, were we feel their immediate connection to each other with her blood being affected by the treatments she has received for leukemia brings him nourishment and heals him but, don’t know if it will a permanent cure or if his blood would bring a cure to her health issues, Before he learns these answers, being the ultimate considerate vampire he gives her the choice to choose, to become his mate or continue with her own life. Laura Kaye can write vampire stories that leave you wanting more of this world she has developed. Hoping her next vampire king won’t be her last story in this series; her secondary characters are excellent and look forward to their possible stories.
