In a kingdom full of secrets, no one can be trusted.

Annika’s life was flipped upside down when she was kidnapped by vampires to become a blood slave in their hidden kingdom of the Vale. Now, the powerful witch Geneva has disguised her as a vampire princess, and Annika’s living in the palace to compete for Prince Jacen’s hand in marriage. But her quest to become his bride is just a facade. Her real goal? Kill the vampire queen Laila so the kingdom crumbles and she can set the human blood slaves free.

When rebellious wolves attack the town, they leave a trail of vampire corpses in their wake, declaring war upon the Vale. But the wolves didn’t act alone. Someone on the inside is helping them, making everyone a suspect. And one major player won’t make it out alive.

The Vampire Trick is the third book in the Vampire Wish series by Michelle Madow. Just when you think things might be looking up, and Jasen and Annika would catch a break... bam. Nope. Not today. There were twists, turns, and all out craziness! Especially in the last few chapters. I saw some things  coming, but not everything. This series sure keeps you on your toes.

The vampire queen is dead.

Annika shouldn’t have been able to kill the vampire queen Laila—such a task can only be done by the Nephilim, whose race is extinct. But somehow, she did kill the queen. Now she’s the number one target on multiple hit lists, and she’s only alive because she’s a fugitive at the neutral kingdom of the Haven.

As if that weren’t enough to deal with, the world is in danger and she’s the one prophesied to save it. But she doesn’t have to do it alone. When fate brings her and Prince Jacen together again, they team up on a quest to find the only object that can save the world as they know it—the Holy Grail itself.

The adventure continues in the fourth book of The Vampire Wish series, and get ready to brace yourselves, because it’s going to be a bumpy ride!

The Vampire Fate is the fourth book in the Vampire Wish series by Michelle Madow. There was a lot to this book and not just the action, which there was a lot of that too. But the characters.. We got to know them better and learned more about them too. I can feel for almost all of them in a way. Even the, well, I don't want to call them the bad guys, but the not so great ones? I can see why they are the way they are. Some I even care for a little bit now. There's depth to the character and world building of this series, and it gets better and more involved with each book. I almost thought this book was going to start wrapping things up, but when one thing seemed to be taken care of, a few more things popped up in its place. I've read several of this authors books, and I think this is my favorite series by her so far.

Book Reviews! The Vampire Wish & The Vampire Prince by Michelle Madow

The Vampire Wish (Dark World: The Vampire Wish #1) by Michelle Madow

Genre: Young Adult (Paranormal/Fantasy Romance/Fairy Tale Retelling)
Date Published: June 1, 2017
Publisher: Dreamscape Publishing



He’s a vampire prince. She’s a human blood slave. They should be enemies… but uniting might be their only hope to prevent a supernatural war.

Annika never thought of herself as weak—until the day vampires murdered her parents and kidnapped her from our world to the hidden vampire kingdom of the Vale.

As a brand new blood slave, Annika must learn to survive her dangerous new circumstances… or face imminent death from the monstrous wolves prowling outside the Vale’s enchanted walls. But not all in the kingdom is as it appears, and when a handsome vampire disguised as a human steps into her life, Annika discovers that falling for the enemy is sometimes too tempting to resist.

Especially when becoming a vampire might be her only chance to gain the strength she needs to escape the Vale. 

This is the first book in the Vampire wish series by Michelle Madow. I've read and enjoyed several books by this author, so I was excited to see she now has a vampire series. This first book was a short, quick, and action packed introduction to this world and its going ons, and let me tell you, there seems to be a lot going on, and not many people that Annika can truly trust. Her life and the lives of the other captured humans in the Vale, are controlled by the vampires. Annika is tired of being weak and vulnerable and completely out of control of her life. The cliff hanger leads me to believe that may all be about to change, or it could get even worse. There are so many directions this could go, and I'm about to start the next book to see where it takes us next!

The Vampire Prince(Dark World: The Vampire Wish #2) by Michelle Madow

To destroy the enemy, she will become the enemy.

Everything has been taken from Annika — her family, her friends, and even her freedom — by the vampires who enslaved her in the hidden kingdom of The Vale. But now she possesses a magical ring that contains Geneva, the most powerful witch in the world, and she’s ready for revenge.

When Prince Jacen invites vampire princesses from all over the world to the palace to compete for his hand in marriage, Annika finds her chance. By commanding Geneva to turn her into a vampire princess, she can try to win the cold heart of the prince who betrayed her and left her for dead. Can she keep the emotions she used to feel for Jacen in check? Because if her deception works and she becomes his bride, she’ll have full access to the palace... and she can destroy The Vale from the inside.

But with powerful players vying for control of the ring, and a dark magic rising outside the kingdom, there’s far more at stake than just the crown.

Vampire Prince is the second book in the Vampire wish series by Michelle Madow. This book reminded me a little of The Selection.. if The Selection consisted of a castle full of bloodthirsty vampire princesses who each have their own agenda. They're not the only ones with an agenda though. Each character has a different motive it seems. None can trust the other. It's quite interesting. I'm anxious to see how it all plays out.
