Description

In the shadow of the mountains, the village lives in perpetual fear of the queen who rules from above. Helena has always been a survivor, carving out a life for her family amidst the encroaching darkness of a gothic world where mercy is a rare commodity. But when a brutal attack tears her world apart, she finds herself thrust into the orbit of the Vampire Queen and her complex, dangerous household. This fourth installment of the series shifts the focus toward a deeply personal narrative, grounding the supernatural stakes in raw human emotion. As Helena navigates the treacherous politics of the queen’s inner circle, she discovers that the most terrifying monsters are often those who desire connection. Her journey is defined by a slow-burn attraction and an undeniable pull toward a life she never imagined possible. Fans of dark fantasy will appreciate the atmospheric world-building and the intense, character-driven development that sets this novella apart from its predecessors. It is a haunting exploration of loyalty, survival, and the complicated nature of belonging. For those who crave gothic romance blended with sharp, visceral horror, this story offers an intimate look at what it truly costs to stand by a queen.

Wives of the Vampire Queen, Book 4

This series is a gothic dark fantasy built with each novella as the next installment of the story. It starts with a village located down the mountainside from a dark, mysterious castle. Surrounded by forest, this castle housed the "King" who oversaw the village and received an annual tithe. Each winter solstice, a village female was chosen to be left at his gate to become "Queen" for one year. Let's begin... Helena's whole existence changed when a group of violent raiders came upon her father's house where she lived with her many younger sisters. After her family was destroyed, Xenia, who was hunting, came upon Helena's dying body. For vengeance, Helena allows Xenia to save her so she can reap bloody retribution until all the raiders are destroyed. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Feminist vampires

So far, this is definitely the novella in this series that stood out to me. I connected with Helena's character in a way I didn't with the MCs from the previous books, and her feelings around everything that happens to her resonated. This is also the most action-packed of the stories so far, while having less of a spooky factor. I'm enjoying the nuances that each new volume brings to the question of vampirism and vampire lore, and I like how the author really engages with ideas around monsters, what makes monsters so, and what actions can be considered monstrous. My only gripe with this book is the man-hate, but it does have a place within the setting and with regards to the girl-power trip this series is clearly on. So, fun but not quite as socially grounded as I would have liked to be able to truly love the series. I understand that this is a matter of personal preference, so if you love man-bashing girl-bosses, this will definitely be the series for you. 4,5 stars.

Sapphic Vampires

I’ve read books with vampires before, but mostly MF, so it was a pleasant change to read about sapphic vampires. But that is where the pleasantries stop. Hello, these women are vampires, so there is a lot of blood lust…and bloodshed. This book touches on FFF, but the s3x scenes felt a little awkward and weren’t really my cuppa. That’s a personal preference, so don’t let that stop you from checking out a fabulous story. I’ll be sure to check out more books by this author.
