Date Published:  December 22, 2017 
Publisher: Dreamscape Publishing

Find the Holy Grail. Win the war. Save the world.

A lot has changed for Annika since being kidnapped by vampires to become a blood slave in their hidden kingdom of the Vale. Not only has she learned she’s a Nephilim—a race that’s supposedly extinct—but she’s found herself on a dangerous quest for the Holy Grail. Luckily, she has the vampire Prince Jacen by her side, and the two of them feel ready for anything—especially now that they trust each other more than ever.

But finding the Grail is only the beginning. Because when Annika learns that a demon is leading a pack of wolves to war against the vampires, she must stop him before it’s too late. If she can’t, he’ll open a Gate to Hell… and the world as she knows it will be lost forever.

Get ready for an action-packed, adventure-filled ride in the EPIC conclusion to The Vampire Wish series!

The Vampire War is the fifth and final book in The Vampire Wish series by Michelle Madow. Like this authors other books, this book and this series as a whole was a highly immersive reading experience. There's potential for more to be told along this storyline, and there's also supposed to be a prequel series, I believe. I'll have to look it up and see in that series is out yet or in the works. I've enjoyed Annika as a character quite a bit. Watching her transformation from the girl she was in book one to who she is now was a lot of fun to read. When there are so many books in a series, with so much going on, like this series has,(seriously, there's rarely a dull moment) it's always hard to review without saying too much. I don't want to give bits away. There are still a few things I wonder about, which may get covered in other books. I can see that happening. But know this... there will be twists and turns. There will also be things you see coming, but you will enjoy every minute of it!

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

Genre: Young Adult (Paranormal/Fantasy Romance/Fairy Tale Retelling)
Date Published: August 3, 2017
Publisher: Dreamscape Publishing



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.
