Lothaire by Kresley Cole

Traces the story of ruthless vampire Lothaire, following his determined pursuit of the Horde's crown before his efforts are thwarted by Elizabeth Peirce, a mortal who harbors a secret power that will kill her if Lothaire uses it to achieve his goals.

This one was interesting. Not as typical as the others except at the end.

This here book... this here book put me in a whole reading slump! I did not like it. Not one bit. I do not and have never understood the Lothaire lure. I stuck through it because I was simply here for whatever info on the lore I needed to move on to the next book. I'm skipping the next one since it seems to not really be connected to this world but setting it up for a new series.

I decided to add—

These books are entirely too long. A lot happens in the beginning and in the end but a whole lot of nothing happens in the middle. I don't know if I notice it more because I'm binging the series but it happens in every darn book!
