Charm Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Not sure if there already is a thread for F E Heaton, I couldn't find one but if I've double posted one please feel free to merge! As some of you know I've recently bought a kindle and have been having a ball with it! One of the best series of books I've found on it recently are the Vampires Realm series by F E Heaton (also known as Felicity Heaton). It's an adult supernatural series and I wondered if anyone else has read the books and if you enjoyed them? Here are some of my thoughts Vampires Realm Series by F E Heaton Prophecy: Child Of Light SynopsisA vampire unlike any other, Prophecy lives life in the dark until the night she encounters Valentine, a gorgeous vampire who is both her enemy and the man who will change her life forever.Convinced that the prophecy about her is wrong and unable to ignore the vision of them that he saw in her blood, Valentine goes against his orders to execute Prophecy and kidnaps her instead. The attraction between them grows as they search for the truth behind the prophecy, battle a dark evil that threatens to destroy the world, and attempt to evade their families and the Law Keepers.When the truth about her is revealed, will Prophecy be strong enough to face it? Will they discover a way to save the world from Hell? And will they finally see past the hatred bred into them by their families and surrender to their love? The first novel in the Vampires Realm series, Prophecy: Child of Light is part one in an epic tale of love and war that is sure to capture your heart and leave you craving more. My thoughts: I read this quite a while ago but didn't want to write about it until I had read the next 2 installments in the trilogy, which I have now done. I found this little gem at a very cheap price on Amazon kindle store and was hooked from the very beginning. It is well written with a modern gothic atmosphere which I adore, the storyline also takes the characters throughout historic Europe as they follow the trail in search of the prophecy and the answers they need to help them. The two main characters of Prophecy and Valentine are well thought out with plenty of back history to make them both interesting and believable. There are of course plenty of nasty characters who pop up regularly and help to keep the storyline action packed and exciting. This is a series full of vampires, werewolves, demons and magic with a touch of adult content thrown in. Highly recommended! 10/10 Prophecy: Caelestis & Aurorea SynopsisThe final battle draws closer. Prophecy's world becomes darker and more dangerous, pushing her to the limit and testing her strength and her heart, almost breaking her. Old friends turn their backs, leaving her to fight with the help of an unlikely ally and forcing her to call on the devastatingly seductive and powerful Lord Hyperion for assistance. Struggling to rescue Valentine from the malicious hands of her blood brother, Arkalus and the lord of Aurorea, Kalinor, Prophecy discovers just how powerful she is and how far people will go to stop her from fulfilling her destiny. Lives are lost, battles are won, and the scroll foretelling the prophecy is finally completed, but nothing can prepare them for what lies ahead. When her visions show her the path that must be taken, will Prophecy be able to do what is necessary? Are Prophecy and Valentine ready to command the power they'd never thought would be theirs? And are they strong enough to fight the evil of their true enemy? Following on from Prophecy: Child of Light, the tension rises and love grows in Prophecy: Caelestis & Aurorea, a thrilling second part to this story that draws you into a dark, dangerous world of vampires, magic and the war to end all wars. My thoughts: The second in this series just sees the adventure get better and better. Prophecy is starting to learn to control her magic better, but she receives help from an unlikely source to complete her mission, this however adds to the anguish she feels in her heart where her love is concerned. Another exciting, fast paced, roller coaster of a read which introduces even more intriguing characters to the mix, again while travelling across Europe. Again I was totally engrossed in this book and couldn't put it down until I had read every last page.10/10 Prophecy: Dark Moon Rising SynopsisAn enemy with unimaginable power and bloodlines with centuries of hatred bred into them, two things that threaten to tear Prophecy and Valentine apart as they fight for their lives and their future together. Their vain attempt to join their houses into one army drains the last of their strength, leaving them more vulnerable than they've ever been. The tension escalates between the bloodlines, and, more dangerously, between Valentine, Prophecy and Venturi. As everything crumbles around them, defeat seems inevitable. In one decisive move, their enemy turns the tables against them, taking what is most important to Prophecy and leaving her to fear that the terrifying visions she's been having are coming true. An enemy becomes a friend, guiding her in her time of need, and a friend becomes an enemy. Death, destruction and danger surround her, but the help of an old ally brings her the army she needs and the dark moon brings her the power to fight the legions of Hell. When the time comes, will Prophecy be able to do what's necessary or will the sacrifice she must make be too painful to go through with? Does she have the strength to stop Hell from being unleashed into the world and save the ones she loves at the same time?The dramatic conclusion to the Prophecy story, Prophecy: Dark Moon Rising is a gripping tale of love and war that will take hold of you, set your heart racing and not let you go until the very last page. My thoughts: The final installment in this exciting trilogy brings to the fore the prophecy at last. Prophecy has come into her own, with the control of her magic and those she loves around her, she prepares to battle a deadly and powerful enemy who wants to bring hell to earth. However, nothing is ever that easy and this thrilling read brings together the adrenaline rush of battle and the emotional highs and lows. A fantastic conclusion to an epic story!If you're a fan of gothic style, supernatural books you should enjoy this trilogy. 10/10NB: Be aware, contains adult sexual scenes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyzenthlay Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I'm so sceptical of teeny-boppy vampire series. You make these sound really good, but how do they compare to, say, House of Night? (which to me was like fingernails grating on the chalkboard of my soul...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(which to me was like fingernails grating on the chalkboard of my soul...) I've never read the House of Night books Hyzenthlay, so I can't really say. My daughter has though and thought that other YA books were better. I do have to say though, these are most definitely NOT teeny-bopper books. There are scenes of a sexual nature in them. If I had to compare them to other writers, I would say a mix of Kelley Armstrong and Sherrilyn Kenyon might be closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
