The Royals: Vampire Court #2
Wicked Vampire
It’s time to discover my power… my vampire power.
I always knew monsters existed. But the word vampire never came to mind until I became one. War threatens to tear apart the Vampire factions. Some say I’m the one the prophecy spoke about. Others think I’m a passing fancy. But nothing could’ve prepared me for the House of Shade or the guy who made me this monster, Grayson Shade.
His blood calls to me and deep down all I want is him. The vampire who looks like a saint and tastes like sin. Yet something lingers under the surface. Something he is hiding from me. I hear whispers about the curse of The House of Shade. He says it’s nothing, I know it’s something. My instincts tell me he’s lying, my heart wants to believe him, my head tells me I’m in for more than I can handle with Grayson and The House of Shade.

The reason for not having 5 stars is due to the fact the series is not complete, and I didn't realize it till it was too late. So now i'm going to have to wait and hold on to these books because my brain doesn't hold information like it use to and I loved reading about Grayson and Piper.
OMG, OMG, you have got to be kidding me. I couldn't stop reading this book and i'm not one to go to the end to see what happens first. Kinda wish I had then I wouldn't be so frustrated. Talk about a cliffhanger, makes me want to start reading stand alone books.
I don't know how Megan does it, but as I'm reading i'm telling myself there is going to be another book about so and so and I just want to get that book. But, alas, I am like every other reader who loves these books, i'm going to have to wait, and see what happens.

Oh my
I have loved Grayson since the very beginning, the very first time he was mentioned in a book. And this series just makes me claim him more. There's so much going on in his house that we have barely touched on it all. And I can't wait to learn all about it.
Piper is just coming into her own in this new world of hers, and watch out everyone for when she does. And Dice? I absolutely need to know more about her.....what does our girl Ophelia know that she is not sharing with the rest of the class?
And can we give a HUGE shout out to our main man Martin here?!!! He is the star of this book. He might have stolen the show. Or maybe that's just my humble opinion. Anyway, kudos, my dude

Another Great Read!!
What a perfect way to end this book!! I had to remind myself to breathe during those last few chapters.
I enjoyed the build of this book. It steadily ramped up while providing information on the curse, the prophecy, vampire hierarchy, Piper's progress, and Gray's turmoil.
I enjoyed the appearance of the witches, warlocks, the Fallen, and being introduced to new vampires along the way. There are so many layers in this vampy world.
I could feel Grayson's emotional struggle and Piepers mixed feelings at his contradictory actions.
With that ending, I'm betting book 3 will be explosive.

Wicked Vampire
OMG this was an amazing follow up to Wicked Bite. I love how Grayson and Piper story continues in this book. I’m loving that Piper is a Night Spawn vampire with some powers of the Blood Born that are hinting to the fact that she might just be this vampire that they have been waiting on. The one that will either cruse them or make them better. But the only thing is she doesn't know anything about it because Grayson can't tell her so what will become of her,how will she react when she finds out, and what will happen with her and Grayson relationship I guess that you will just have to read and find out for yourself!

Wicked Vampire is amazing now I must read Wicked Bite m. This is a new series for me and I’m in love with Grayson and Piper and can’t wait to learn more about them. I love that Piper is a Night Spawn vampire and learning what that is and I’m fascinated in some of her powers of the Blood Born. Will she be the one that they have been waiting for. The one that will end them or make them stronger.
However, Piper doesn't know anything about it because Grayson can't tell her so I am excited to see how it all plays out once she finds out and what it means for her and Greyson. Great read highly addictive and entertaining. Definitely recommend it!

Wicked Vampire (The Royals: Vampire Court Book 2 )
Wicked Vampire (The Royals: Vampire Court Book 2 ). ~~ In this sequel, Piper grapples with her newfound identity and the complexities of her relationship with Grayson. The weight of a centuries-old curse threatens their bond, and Piper’s determination to break it showcases her growth and resilience.

Amazing, Fantastic, Brilliant
Wow..what a read. I thought book one was great but this was even better. Grayson and Piper are made for each other but can they break the curse and the prophesy? I guess we need to wait 10 whole months for book 3… not sure how I can but I have no option. How does Dice fit into all this? I can’t wait to find out…and I am sure the Queens will come to Grayson’s aid and kick butt!
Seriously, this was another great book by the amazing and talented Megan Montero! You will not be disappointed.

Wow, what a read! This was a excellent read, I love the chemistry between Piper and Grayson, they are so push and pull it's irresistible. There is so much subtext on the politics of born and made vampires you know it's going to come to a head but when and how??
Really feel for Dice, she's lost her best friend and yet she know's Piper is still out there somewhere, what will she do to find her again?
Can't wait for the next book!

This book was soooooo good ! A real page turner I could not put it down. It’s amazing to see Piper getting accustomed to her new life and feeling all the feels her and Grayson are going through. I loved that new characters were introduced but we still managed to see a few of our old friends *wink wink Royal Witches and Warlocks* the cliffhanger at the end had me screaming and throwing the book. That’s how bad I need the next book right now !!!!

disappointing
Thirty percent through the book I was bored and nothing significant had happened. I think this book could have easily been written with half the pages. The drama was predictable, Piper wasn’t the only one getting tired of repetitive patterns, and there was too much foreshadowing for the cliffhanger to be a surprise. It was definitely annoying, but not surprising.
I’m not sure if I’ll finish this series.

Holy smexy vampire…
Alright, alright. So……. throughout the other seasons Grayson was one of my favorites. I’m sooooo glad he got his own season. I am freaking loving Piper for him. All I gotta say, is it’s always bad news bears when secrets are not shared. Also, O…. IYKYK. That cliffy man… I am loving this season so much and cannot wait to find out what happens next!

Ahhhh!!! I absolutely love the spitfire Piper is! I need to know what happens next, the cliffhanger kills me haha I love that characters from the other series still pop in and are just as snarky as ever!!

She knew monsters existed but not vampires until she was turned into one by him. She can tell he is lying about something but he tells her that he is not. Will she listen to her feelings? What is he hiding? Will she find out? See just how she will get on

It can't end on that cliffhanger 🙈
Can't wait for the next book. I thought the first book was a bit to rushed but this one was brilliant 😍 can't wait for the third book in this series.

Sloooooowwwww burn.
Not as hot as I was hoping. I feel like the story between Grayson and Piper is being drug out too long...but I am committed now. The descriptions of secondary characters felt repetitive at times. The ending was explosive for sure.

Wow
We are leening more about Grayson world and the House of Shade. With vampires getting sick and curses and prophecy all about this book will have you wanting more. You will want to ring Grayson neck more than once and learn more about each character.
