Review: The Blood Prince by Josie Jaffrey 4 of 5 stars

The Blood Prince by Josie Jaffrey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In this last book in the series, the Silver might have awakened but the Queen is a shell of who she was and Cam is determined t fix her by finding her missing son when he leaves for the Red. Rufus torments Julia but she has a plan to bring the Nobles to their knees using blood.

This was definitely an book through of drama, danger and excitement. As before the world building from the author is outstanding and that made the rest of the story gel together as a great story. Of the characters I feel the most empathy with Cam who does his best to do the right thing throughout the three books and this one is no exception. I wish I knew why I dislike Julia so much - she does nothing to make me feel comfortable with her - he just strikes me as a selfish person who seems to not care about anyone else but her agenda. Well written this was very enjoyable. I feel that the author could write more in this complex world she has created.

Review: The Silver Queen by Josie Jaffrey 4 of 5 stars

The Silver Queen by Josie Jaffrey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Earth's last city (the Blue Zone) is contaminated so the vampire nobles are fighting over the remaining clean humans in the zone. With Cam with a few comrades in the Red Zone searching for the missing Queen, with the absence of vampire Lucas human Julia is forced to be with a new master. This convinces her that she has to escape or die. Can Cam find the Queen even with treachery from from some of his comrades, and will Julia escape her new master?

This is an explosive second instalment in the dystopian vampire trilogy. Well written, you can easily understand what is happening and at times work out what might be about to happen (although I was wrong a couple of times when I tried to do that). There are some slow moments that are a little boring and then it picks up and is full of action again, so my advice to any potential reader is stick with it as it will be worth the time investment. A great epic story that paints the world there very vividly.

Review: The Gilded King by Josie Jaffrey5 of 5 stars

The Gilded King by Josie Jaffrey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The last city in the world is in the blue sector and it is not well. Julia is trapped in the city walls and she serves the nobility in the background until she meets Lucas (of of them) who believes in fairy-tales which unfortunately the environment Juila lives in does not allow - to her the blue is a prison - one she would gladly escape from into the red if it wasn't for the contamination and death that would await her in the red. However not everyone in the blue is human. Cameron is not human and is quickly losing whatever humanity he has left as he searches the red for the blue's lost queen. It appears the walls of the blue is likely to come down - however what side will the characters in this story decide to be on?

This is definitely the start of an epic tale of humans and supernaturals and the conflicts and politics involved in their civilisation. The world was described and painted in a clear and vivid picture such that I felt I could close my eyes and imagine I was there. I could definitely feel empathy for the main characters and the situations they found themselves in. The ending of this book was nice and dramatic to the point I now wonder what is gong to happen in the next book.
