I was drawn in from the very first page wondering who this countess and her subjects were. I had to turn the pages to find out what was going to be revealed. The countess herself had no memories; we learned them along with her. She turned out to be a vampire, the Ancient One, and there were also evil vampires (and you didn't always know for sure who they were) trying to manipulate her because they had goals of their ownevil goals.She had a difficult time wondering just who she could trust, and f [...]

A woman wakes up with amnesia and slowly discovers she’s an ancient, powerful vampire. The beginning opened strong with the mystery of who she is, who those around her are, and how she arrived where she is. This book is full of witchcraft with magic and spells, vampires, voodoo, and supernatural powers.The story seemed mechanically ok. The characters all had a purpose and the story flowed nicely. Its short chapters and simple story telling made it seem like a chapter book. However, with lesbia [...]

I received this book from the author to write an honest review. I decided to review this as a trilogy instead of individually, so this is my take on all 3 books.First let me say that I enjoyed the story line. It was fun to follow, and the characters were easy enough to keep straight (some books’ characters so closely resemble the others that they do not seem individual).As for the writing itself, in my opinion the first book, The Vampire Queen, seemed almost to be written as a teenager might w [...]

The Countess awaks to find herself with no memory of who she is, where everyone is telling her she is not only The Vampire Queen, but also the first vampire - The 'Ancient One', yet the Count who is caring for and protecting her is slow to answer her questions.Overall, I did enjoy the book, but I found The Coutness's frustration at not knowing what is going on and the way she was told is was for her own protection and to keep her from being evil etc a tad annoying after a while. And to be told t [...]

The Vampire Queen is a fast paced story of self-discovery and intrigue. Jodie Pierce has a unique look at the world of vampires and her writing keeps you reading in order to discover what happens next. She keeps you guessing right until the end about who is good or evil. Each character seems to have their own agenda and secrets.With one turn after another, the suspense of mounting secrets makes the reader have to know more. Who is telling the truth? Who has more to hide? Who is manipulating whom [...]

I was given this series by the author for an honest review.I felt this was the start to an vampire series, it was short, butinteresting nonetheless and look forward to reading more books by the author.

I was disappointed in this book. It sounded interesting but it read like a high school project. The ideas seemed random and unplanned as the story went on.
