pickA dark, thrilling and heartbreaking follow up to Empire of the Vampire (these are not standalones-you need to read book 1 first). For fans of grim dark and vampires and other assorted fantasy creatures. It did feel a little slow at times but still a great read. 4.5⭐️

pickLoved this book so much 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
In the second book in the Empire of the Vampire series, we meet back up with Gabriel and Crew still on their quest to end daysdeath ❤️
"A life without books is a life not lived, Dior. There's a magik like no other to be found in them. To open a book is to open a door—to another place, another time, another mind."
So true.
pickI loved it! Always sarcastic and funny, but never predictable. And he will kill everyone you love to make the story better.
'But don't ye see? We don't get broken. We're made broken. We are not whole alone. But if we're blessed, if we're brave, we might find those few whose edges fit against our own. Like pieces of the same puzzle or shards of the same shattered blade. Those people who, in their own broken way, make our broken edge complete.”
pickBlood soaked and action packed from start to finish with revelations and plot twists a plenty. New characters introduced and a welcome return to the old characters Again it's taken me a while to get through this, but well worth it. Highly recommend this series!
Book 3 HURRY UP!
Twatgoblin! 😂
Bk23 of my never-ending #BookMail is the Waterstones signed edition of the 2nd Empire of the Vampire book. Gabriel de Leon has saved the Holy Grail from death but his chance to end the endless night is lost. After turning his back on his silver saint brothers for good, Gabriel & the Grail set out to find how DaysDeath might finally be undone. Kristoffs writing is very dark & sarcastic but he tells a beautiful story.
pickFinished this and I have to say I‘m so happy that there‘s one more but I loved the twists in this … just when you think you can‘t be surprised… and I can‘t wait to read the final book when it comes out … hopefully later this year 🙌🏽
pickNoooo I need book 3 right now!!
Kristoff keeps the pace from the first book and I still love Gabriel.
This instalment reveals more about the vampire families, the other enemies of the silver saints and the prophesy of the grail.
I was right about the 2nd voice but it did take a bit of getting used to the switching narrative voices.
I have my suspicions about what is going on can‘t wait to see if I am right.
Bonus author interview 👍
Needless to say that the writing captures you from the beginning but the illustrations are an added bonus to what your reading love this … then I find out that this is a 3 book series so this middle one is just right I can‘t wait to find out what happens in this book and hope that the 3rd in the series is out later this year 🙌🏽📖
pickLOVED this. I keep describing it as Anne Rice meets The Witcher. Unique worldbuilding, complicated characters, F bombs. It had a good recap of the previous book at the beginning (it was v memorable but A LOT happened) &the audio narration is excellent. 1 part dragged, but for the most part it was easy to get absorbed in & THAT ENDING was absolutely packed with action &drama. I cannot wait to see where this goes in book 3
pickA roller coaster bloody vampire/many other beasts epic tale! With a 😱 ending.
If you don‘t like blood, violence and a very liberal sprinkling of sex, it‘s probably not for you.
Sometimes I forget how great an author La work is until I either reread or read a new book everyone of Jay Kristoffs books has grabbed me from the beginning and I can‘t put it down love this about his books can‘t wait to continue this read 🙌🏽😊📖
Just over half way. There‘s some blood thirsty vampires in this!!!
YES!! Damian Lynch is still narrating along with Shakira Shute can‘t wait to find out which character is the second voice I have my suspicions 🤔🧐 will I be right?
I bought the audible version of EotD, and I decided to start it tonight. It starts off with the cast of characters and their backstory, I believe. It's been a while since I read EotV, though, and I feel completely lost. Is there somewhere I could find a good summary of vampires or the cast list in print? Any suggestions? I read vampires on my kindle, and now I'm wondering if the audio of this was a mistake if I'm lost already.
I'm so excited that this book is finally here! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 I absolutely LOVED Empire of the Vampire, so I'm really looking forward to the next book! ❤️
Had to run out and get this it‘s beautiful and I‘m so excited to start reading it 📖🙌🏽
pickThis was a reread since Empire of the Damned comes out next month.
Set in a fantasy world where vampires are taking over, Gabriel, silver saint and last of his order has been captured is telling his tale to the vampires ❤️
