🖤 Bookish Thoughts
I was honestly hoping for a bit more from Joely Sue Burkhart's *Queen Takes Knights (Their Vampire Queen, #1)*, a new vampire romance. The worldbuilding felt lacking and it was definitely insta love from like page 5 😩
I’ll likely read the next in the series before determining if I’ll continue.

DNF @ 27%: So many of my favorite romance reviewers absolutely adore this series, but something about Joely Sue Burkhart's Queen Takes Knights (Their Vampire Queen, #1) just didn't click for me, and I am genuinely BUMMED. If you have any recommendations for other paranormal/monster romances that feature polyamory, I'd love to hear them!

❌ Nope. That insta-lust is just not for me. This review for Joely Sue Burkhart's *Queen Takes Knights (Their Vampire Queen, #1)* is a DNF at 25%.Shara has been on her own for a while now, and she claims she’s never been attracted to anyone and has no sexual experience. She also sees mysterious monsters that no one else can see, and they’re somehow tracking her blood, forcing her to move regularly to remain hidden.She’s saved from these monsters by two sexy strangers who call her Queen. She feels...

Just as good, if not better than the first time I read it! It’s not as bloody as I remembered, or maybe I’ve just read a ton of darker romances.ShiftersVampiresBlood sharingMM/MMFIntense, bodyguard heroes “We are Aima, the ancient blood of Gaia.

3-3.5 stars! Queen Takes Knights (Their Vampire Queen, #1) by Joely Sue Burkhart was a good start to the series with a lot of potential, but I just didn’t *love* it. This vampire romance was very smutty though, as expected.

Good, Gross, and WTF moments.Joely Sue Burkhart's Queen Takes Knights (Their Vampire Queen, #1) was interesting. Gross but interesting. Yes, at one point I threw up in my mouth. IN MY MOUTH PEOPLE! I totally get that vampires love blood and shit... but ew. PERIOD BLOOD? #no #neverAlso, comparing blood to wine or vice versa?? #NONONONONONONONONONO. That will never be a thing, don't make that a thing!Other than that yuckfest, the smut was good. The story was interesting and kept me engaged. I just...

“You’re my queen. You’re so far beyond alpha that if you ordered me to cease breathing, I’d die trying.” This is a Reverse Harem book, i.e., one girl, many guys. Why should you have one when you can have them all? For fans of intense vampire romance and reverse harem fantasy, Joely Sue Burkhart's Queen Takes Knights (Their Vampire Queen, #1) offers a thrilling start to a new series.So, I’ve read my fair share of MMF, MFM, and generally ménage books because, you know, love is love and passion ...

You'll all be relieved to know that swords were crossed! Oddly enough, though, I found myself not all that tingled by the crossing of said swords. It was kind of perfunctory rather than erotic. #sadRik and Daire are really into their newly found vampire queen who is also a virgin (for about 2.5 milliseconds), which I guess makes sense since she's the new component to their relationship, but still... Nevertheless, Joely Sue Burkhart did a good job representing them as bisexual. They live to serve...

Holy shit!!! This was one hell of a read, and *Queen Takes Knights* by Joely Sue Burkhart absolutely delivered. I loved every sexy, filthy, and bloody smutty page of this dark vampire romance. If you're looking for an intense vampire romance review, look no further. I'm already diving into the next book.😍

How could I not want to read *Queen Takes Knights* by Joely Sue Burkhart! Looks like she is literally bathing in the blood of her enemies! 😈😈
