King of Battle and Blood is the fastest read I’ve had in awhile clocking in at just about a day and half of my time. This book is so much fun and a breath of fresh air on the vampire trope! It can be found in the young adult section of the store, but reader beware, this book is Ow Ow level spicy! More than willing to protect her world, Isolde agrees, not realizing that Adrian will be the least worrisome of monsters she encounters on her journey to her new home. It is well known that the Vampire King shows no mercy on his path for control, but for Isolde, he may make an exception: marry him and her kingdom will not only be left to govern itself in peace but her people will also have his protection a priceless offer when the threats upon her people have been all Isolde has ever known. Isolde’s entire life has been spent in the shadow of King Adrian, the king of the undead, who has slowly but surely captured every kingdom between him and Isolde’s own. As the sole heir to her father’s throne she has been raised as not only a princess but a warrior. Princess Isolde has two great loves: her kingdom and her father. Time well spent if you ask me, especially if you’re a fan of kingdoms on the brink of destruction, tough as heck female protagonists, and you believe that sparkling is the greatest disservice vampires have ever been dealt.
