Queen Takes Checkmate

Queen Takes Checkmate

The god of light has met his match.But whose life will the red serpent claim? Killing the queen of New York City has added a million new responsibilities to Shara Isador's list. The former queen's Blood must be dealt with before they turn thrall. The queens Keisha Skye coerced into sibling relationships must either be formally sworn to House Isador or freed. Though Shara can't in good conscience allow anyone into her house who took part in the rampant torture in which House Skye indulged. While every single day, Shara feels the weight of the red serpent coiled around her throat. The goddess's gift grows heavier with every passing moment. If she doesn't act, the serpent will consume everything she loves. But if she goes after Ra as promised... Someone she loves very much will die. Any of her Blood will gladly pay that cost, but Shara loves them too much to even consider losing one of them. Who will survive the epic showdown with Ra, the god of light, and will this be the end of Shara Isador's story?

Oh where do I even start! This series has dominated my life, my dreams and basically my existence for the short period it took me to read all of the books. It’s just too good to be true, the balance between erotic parts and the actual mythology of the story is PERFECT. I love fantasy, but it seems that these days it is easier to find an interesting YA fantasy than an adult one. Don’t get me wrong, I love a slow burning YA romance that ends in innuendos and first base, but a girl needs more once in awhile to properly function in the real world. This series has got everything you can imagine: FM, MFM, MMFM, and even MFFM at some point I believe. Well, any possible combination of Fs and Ms that your perverted and kinky mind can conjure is HERE! But putting all that aside, I fell in love with the characters. Shara, the Vampire Queen, calls her Blood, her lovers/partners/protectors/family/knights, one after one and each of them has got a complicated past and an interesting story to tell. She draws on the strength of her ancestors, goddesses that ruled before her and the power of her Blood to overcome unimaginable obstacles and defeat her enemies. At the base of this series we experience the journey of a simple girl, that learns to love unconditionally after losing all the loved ones she ever had in her life. She finds a new family, and her only goal becomes to protect them at any cost. This conclusion to the series was beautiful, exciting and unpredictable. I do hope we will get more stories about Shara and her family, since I don’t think I could ever grow tired of reading about them. What she takes, she loves, and what she loves, she keeps for all time. Long live House Isador!
