House of Royals by Keary Taylo (6/16/15)

I had the pleasure of receiving an ARC, in exchange for an honest review. 

I have read every single one of Keary Taylor’s books, and I can honestly say that I absolutely LOVE her work. I love her writing style and her character development. 

We immediately meet Alivia Ryan as she’s had to move her entire life to the small town of Silent Bend, Mississippi. She’s introduced to a whole new world where nothing is at it seems. What she does know is that the town is creepy and eerie and no one likes her, but that’s because of her families’ history in that town. 

We also meet Ian Ward, who happens to try and kill Alivia the very first time that they meet. The circumstances under which they meet are very interesting and scary. He’s young and handsome, and did I mention single? 

The chemistry between Alivia and Ian is beautiful and what they develop is even better. It’s such a sweet bitter moment/relationship for them because of who they are and what they will be, especially to each other in the near future. The time and moments that they do have together are amazing and I love that they are both willing to set aside everything else to have each other, for the time being. 

She does a great job of describing and giving us the story line, enough that I was able to picture everything that Alivia was experiencing. I think that she does a great job at giving us a paranormal story. And the fact that it deals with Vampires, um yes please. I enjoyed the twists that were laid out for us while reading this. 

We get to meet some other interesting characters, like Rath, her late fathers’ loyal servant. I’m still trying to figure out what the deal is with him. Hopefully we’ll be able to learn more about him in the next book. But the main ones and probably more important, other than Alivia and Ian are the Vamps that live in the House of Royals. 

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am definitely looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I do have to say that the ending was something that I did NOT expect. My brain was trying to come up with things to make this right, hopefully I’m not too far off.  

Thank you Keary for the opportunity of reading this story! You’ve done it again!
