I want to welcome buddy blogger Cecile to share her review of Joey W. Hill’s vampire Series, which sadly I have not read.

The Mark of The Vampire Queen

Description: “Full servant.” With his new title, Jacob must attend to Lady Lyssa’s every need, venturing into a world of passion darker than he’s ever known. As a vampire hunter he wasn’t prepared to embrace a world where humans are sexual commodities, but he has adapted. Now he finds the integrity of his soul challenged as he serves his Mistress’s needs as fully as he services her desires. He loves her, though other servants warn against giving her his soul. Everyone knows that Vampires have no regard for humans, so why would a Vampiress bother treating a mere sex toy with respect? But Jacob knows a human servant is far more than that. His Mistress needs a warrior, a friend and a lover. A man who will serve her in all ways, even if he has to betray the priceless treasure of her love.
I obtained this information from Borders.

This is my own personal copy and this review is for my own viewing pleasure.

First off let me say that I loved The Vampire Queen’s Servant. This is part two in Jacob’s quest to win his masters heart and soul. I will not say that you must read the first one… but to understand the world that Ms. Hill has created for these two and what they have gone through to get there, you really should read the first one.

Okay… moving forward…
The romance between Jacob and Lady Lyssa is very breathtaking. Their relationship blossoms into the fullest it possibly can. Jacob has received his third mark; which means that he has bound himself to his Master until death. Imagine saying our wedding, you say: till death do us part… now imagine if that were true, your spouse died, you died with him/her. This book does not deter away from the BDSM parts of Ms Hill’s style. Her writing style just simply amazes me. To read her books (the two that I have) will throw you in a world of her very own. Be prepared to go on a journey you will sure to be enthralled in.
Lady Lyssa is slowly dying and Jacob will do everything in his power to stop that from happening. Along with her sickness, there is the meeting coming before the Council. Lady Lyssa is trying to pave a better future for the vampires. One of her goals is to address the issue of permanent asylum for the fugitives in her territory. And the other is to push for them to become more civilized by only needing to kill one human a year for them to maintain their strength. But some vampires do not agree with her thinking and want to over throw the Council. and her. So the plot thickens…
I will tell you this though, this story left me wanting more… It’s in the ending, but I am not quiet sure where and that is my problem. I am not sure if her being of two heritages got me, or that she shifted, or that the love did not go the way I wanted it too (yea, I am selfish like that) or what… but something was missing for me. Maybe the power struggle… the grand ending. I will struggle with this and it will bother me… Because I love this woman’s writing!!
I love what has become of Jacob and his Master. The journey he goes to get there. If there is a man out there like Jacob… oh please let yourself be known! This man will do anything, everything and back again for his woman. OMG… Jacob remains my Sex on a Stick man.

There are two more books after this one, but they are stand alone. The characters flow in and out of them… but they are stand alone.

The Vampire’s Claim is the third book. Here for details. It came out in March 2009.
The Beloved Vampire is the forth book. Here for details. It came out in August 2009.
Vampire Mistress is the fifth book. Here for details. It comes out in May 2010…. This one is Jacob’s brother’s story… Oh yea… I am waiting!!!!
