King of Darkness by Elisabeth Staab

Title: King of Darkness (Chronicles of Yavn, Book 1)
Author: Elisabeth Staab
Pages: 352
Genre: Paranormal Romance

King of Darkness is the first book in a new paranormal series by Elisabeth Staab called the Chronicles of Yavn. The vampire series starts with the story of the new King of Vampires, Thad Morgan. He’s got his work cut out for him. He needs to find his mate so he can unlock his powers, all while beating off enemies, and challenges to his authority. It doesn’t help that his mate, Isabel Anthony, is something of a party girl. She loves the nightlife, and hangs out in clubs, happy to pretend to be a human – even if she is a vampire, albeit one with very weak powers. She’s much rather carry on partying, than rule at Thad’s side. Thad has his work cut out for him trying to convince Isabel that they’re meant to be together, all while the vampires sworn enemies (wizards who kill vampires in order to steal their powers) swirl around. Staab also has multiple plots and couples featured in the book, introducing characters for future installments in the series. This can be distracting, and will take a bit of concentration – hopefully this will settle down in the next few books
