Blood Nation #4
Coupage
A Blood Nation Novel The Vampire Empire was straining to crown a new Lord Emperor now the lost Royal Bloodline had been re-discovered. Factions of monarchists and status-quo were growling at each other while the rest of the Blood Nations watched with trepidation over the outcome. Little did the Vampire Nation know that their longed-for leader was a little more than expected. The Brotherhood is contained in a single form; Xavier was the main face of the House of Drachenfeld both rational and decisive. Sex was unbridled energy with a quick understanding of the situation and an even faster resolution and Azrael was cool planning, immovable resolve as the First of Assassins. The Brothers had figured out a schedule to their satisfaction and were confident that they were carefully hidden from the outside world; or, so they thought. Then another ancient entity, with its own agenda, finally decided that enough was enough and began to make its way back to the Vampire World.

About the author
Derekica Snake
24 books404 followersGreetings, gentle readers. My name is Derekica Snake aka kiix. This is the part where I write about myself. It is harder than it looks. It is so much easier to write about fictional characters…hummm. Wait. I have a light blub moment.
On a dark and quiet evening in the month of April, a little girl child came into the world in St. Joesph General Hospital. Upon seeing the little girl with the little curl in the middle of her forehead, the father was heard to remark…why does she have red hair? At that moment I’ve been known as the milkman’s kid, oops, I meant she’s been known as the milkman’s kid. See, this is why I write in first person. If it works for you, stick with it.
My favorite book was “Green eggs and ham”. Apparently my mother got so annoyed with me reciting it that it accidently on purpose got tossed out the window of a moving car. So I guess I started writing my own stories once I was taught to print. I’ve always loved writing fiction. In elementary and secondary school we were required to keep a journal. I didn’t want to. I love to write but not about myself. I just wrote little ideas down and handed them in. I graduated so I guess it was good.
I thought I was in deep fascination with a boy in grade seven who was very into Star Trek. I had no clue what he was talking about so I started learning about Star Trek and now it was what was his name? Sci-fi segued into Fantasy and from there I never looked back. I was a big Star Wars geek (pre-episode 1) and wrote pastiche Han Solo adventures as a teenager.
My writing began to lean towards my current selection of offerings. I initially was a little distressed. I thought I was off – way off. I was uncomfortable with the content and toned it down or cut it out completely on second draft attempts. However, it kept cropping back up and I thought I was going to have to pull my hair out to make it stop but then…on May 6, 2006 at 9:15 a.m. I discovered “Ai No Kusabi” on youtube.
That was also the same time that I realized that what I had been writing and hiding away for years had a name. Yaoi. If it had a name others were reading and writing it so I wasn’t the lone pervert out in the world. I took my hands out of my hair and put my fingers on the keyboard and embraced the world of Yaoi.
It only took me six months to figure out how to start posting stories on the Internet on www.adultfanfiction.net. It wasn’t long before I moved from writing AnK fan fiction to posting my own original Yaoi writing under the pseudonym kiix.
I started writing daily. I found a continuing education course on Professional Creative Writing in a local city and started taking courses. There were some tips and facts that were good but the social networking was the key. It was after this that I started actively exploring getting my works published. That expensive piece of paper honed my confidence enough to start sending out queries and posting my first drafts right to the net.
While I had to pony up time and money to self publish once the rejection e-mails came in, I didn’t mind. I think it was the start of something good. I think? I know it was the start of something good.
Welcome to my version of the world of Yaoi. I look forward to leaving my touch in your mind.

I was trying to decide between a 4 and a 5, because I got distracted partway through, thinking it wasn't as gripping as the previous books, then I got right back into it. I also love, love, looove the characters, so 5 stars it is. I can't wait for the next book! Yeah, baby, sign me up and strap me in for more of my multi-personality babes!

Love this series
While I liked the confrontation with Liam, I have to admit that I feel underwhelmed with how things with both Liam and Cillian turned out. Perhaps they will have a fun role to play in the next book...
I'm a bit confused about X's power surges - why does he have to go from supercharged to completely empty every time? Is it just something that he'll learn to control as he gains experience? Or will he actually always have to drain the tank to find equilibrium again? And does he keep any of the additional powers that he gained during the course of this book? Or will those fade away as he normalize?

You must read Cake, Cinder & Cinnamon before reading this novel. TRUST ME... it won't be a problem. If anything you'll be upset once you finish this latest book in the series. Why? Because the next book (Caramel) isn't completed yet! :( Fantasy, magic, vampires with lots and lots of action and sex. Buckle up because this book will definitely keep you up at night!

My favourite so far!
This really was the best one yet! So many ups and downs, I was on edge more than once. I feel like these books should come with complimentary massages because I was so tense the whole way through reading it. I’m so happy that the brotherhood got some backbone in this one. I’m so excited to see what comes next!!!!!

where's the caramel???? I am dying of anguish, I had the fourth book and I do not know what happened to the fifth, this series is very tense, gloomy many sensitive situations for many, but at the same time it tells several distorted and somehow scary and beautiful love stories. more I want the fifth book Derekica frees ai for the poor desperate souls.

I’ve enjoyed the series so far, after a bit of a rough start in getting over some of the content. With this book though, I’ve found that I had to stop reading and take breaks quite frequently to make sure that I’m following along correctly.
I’m currently taking a break from the book entirely as the first few chapters have been so riddled with typos and other errors that’s it’s actually hard to follow what’s happening. To my mind it’s almost as if this instalment was done by a different writer, and It’s difficult to tell if some of the changes to the characters are deliberate choices (until now each character has had a particular and distinct way of speaking and use of language, which has either drastically changed or vanished entirely within the first few chapters) or just a case of badly needing a proof read and re-edit. It’s a disappointing and somewhat jarring shock after having read the previous books.
I will pick it up again shortly once my head clears, as I do really want to find out how this concludes, but I just hope it’s not a consistent issue, or at least, if it is all deliberate then I hope it gets explained at some point in the book.
EDIT.
After finally working my way through this book, the typos and general strangeness compared to earlier books was consistent to the end. It’s a real shame, as the series has been enjoyable until now.
