Fantasy. Fiction. Romance. HTML:"Ashley should be on your must-buy list." RT Book Reviews
"A master of her craft." Maggie Shayne
For beautiful heiress Sheree West, vampires are more than a fantasy. They are an obsession. Night after night, she dresses in black and immerses herself in L.A.'s goth club scene. Searching for a lover who is more than a man. A creature of the dark who lusts for her blood. A legend who lives in the shadows and not just her dreams. Then, one fateful night, she meets him. . .
Derek Blackwood is no ordinary vampire. Descended from a bloodline as old as Cleopatra, and blessed with unearthly powers of seduction, he is everything Sheree wished forand more. When he takes her in his arms, she is powerless. When he kisses her neck, she is his. But when the full moon risesand passions flaresomething is unleashed in Derek that he's never felt before. Something wild. Something dangerous. Something no vampire can control or stop. . .even for the woman he loves.

"3.5 out of 5 stars, a girl with an obsession of vampires finds what she was looking for and maybe a little more then she can chew...

For someone who hasn't read any of the other novels in this series, I was able to understand the plot while thoroughly enjoying the characters."

I don't normally gravitate towards vampire books, no offense Twilight fans, just not my thing--except for this book. I really liked the relationship with Derek and Sheree, and almost swooned every time he called her "love", instead of the overused "babe". I also really liked Derek's mom, Mara, and I am interested in reading the other books in the series to get more of her story. I was nervous when starting this book that I would be completely lost, since it is the end of a series. Thankfully, this was not the case. There are brief explanations of the adventures of the books leading up to Night's Promise, which seems to be a very adventurous, and romantic, timeline. There are a lot of sub characters, but it doesn't get too confusing, and there is a dynamic duo that seems to be the comedic relief.

The only thing that really bothered me in this book is that both of the main characters are unemployed, yet are very wealthy. I am probably biased since I have worked as much as I could since I was able to work, and appreciate earning my living, but I digress. Even with that bothering me, I still really enjoyed the book and was able to breeze through it. The chapters were only a few pages long, so there are many chapters, but it is necessary with each chapter pertaining to certain perspectives.

Please note: I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. ( )

Night’s Promise is a delightful entertaining read capturing the excitement and magic, anticipation and hesitation of young couple tenderly falling in love. That the hero in this story is a vampire with a secret gene and the heroine is a human who sought out vampires but never expected to meet one makes this vampire romance appealing as themes of trust, acceptance, and loyalty abound.
Derek Blackwood is a rarity as he is one of the few “born” vampires and the son of the powerful Queen of Vampires. Derek’s growth and maturity into manhood was not without challenges but he was learned to live in a human world. Wealthy, beautiful Sheree Westerbrooke has an obsession with vampires, dressing in black and frequenting Goth nightclubs hoping to catch the eye of a vampire. Sheree is well aware that the men at the club scene all say they are vampire, so when first laying eyes on the handsomely sexy Derek she plays along with his claiming to be a vampire. Upon learning that Derek is indeed a vampire, and she is deeply attracted to him, Sheree realizes she has to face the challenges of falling in love with a vampire or leave and become the “socialite” wife her mother wants. Derek has never felt an attraction/connection to a woman like he has for Sheree which is why is open with her about who he is. But, Derek is holding a back a secret fear – he feels is turning into a werewolf and has no idea who he will be after the full moon.
While the storyline was a little slow in the beginning, it quickly gains momentum. There are a couple of surprises that showcases Ashley masterful skills to effectively combine romance and vampire action without either feeling cheated. And yes, of course there is the fresh viewpoint she adds to vampire culture. I enjoyed not only the moments of tenderness and vulnerability between Sheree and Derek but those of Mara.
At first I was quite sure how Ashley was going to follow up the emotionally captivating storyline of Mara, Kyle and Logan from the last book but I was pleasantly surprised. This book is not as an intense story but overall I found this to be a fun and clever read illustrates that young love is universally the same whether human or vampire.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. ( )

NIGHT'S PROMISE by Amanda Ashley is an intriguing Paranormal Romance(Vampires/Werewolves/witches. #6 in the "Children in the Night" series, but can be read as a stand alone.

The sixth novel in the Children of the Night series is a mesmerizing vampire romance with an intriguing twist.

Vampires are an obsession for Sheree west and night after night she immerses herself in L.A.’s goth club scene searching for a legend who lives in the shadows not just her dreams. Derek Blackmore is no ordinary vampire and everything Sheree ever wished for – and more, but something wild has been unleashed in Derek. Something dangerous, something no vampire can control or stop… even for the woman he loves.

This steady to fast paced plot sends shivers up the spine with delicious romance, suspense and a sexy vampire. The author brings the life to each and every scene with vivid imagery and details that draw the readers and make them feel like they are part of the story. The characters are bewitching with strong presence that grab the reader’s attention and keeps it to the very end.

The attraction between Sheree and Derek leaps off the pages, the sex scenes sizzle with passion, and the romance sends sparks flying with emotional turmoil and conflict. The author makes it easy for the reader to get emotionally involved in the characters with her well written scenes and vibrant descriptions of their lives. The Queen of Vampires describes Sheree as “Honest of Heart” a description that fits her well as she seems to be strong but innocent when it comes to Derek and vampires while being just a little too “wishy washy” when it comes to herself and what she wants.

The emotional drama and personal conflict that Derek must endure adds spice and depth to the story and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat with anticipation to see how the issue is resolved. And to make things even more interesting, there are characters from the previous books, some family, friends, enemies and some that no one is sure whether can be trusted or not. Add it all together and this makes for a fascinating and exciting vampire romance.

I love all the Amanda Ashley’s vampire books both the ones in this series and the others and I must say that this one was a little surprising, in a good way of course. I can’t wait to read the next vampire romance she creates for us lucky readers. ( )
