This entire series is truly amazing. I really hope the author has new characters speaking to her and telling of new tales, because I'm following her career eagerly in future. A lot of authors will fall back on deux ex machina to wrap up a final book in a series where the characters just take advantage of a situation outside their control or allow the hero to step in and rescue the leading lady. This book chose neither to my great delight. Nadia reached deep within her own past and used her love and pain to fight back against those who would dominate and use her and to rescue the hero. I can't say much more without spoiling the ending, but I will say, if you love paranormal romantasy, this is an excellent experience you *must* dive into. The author doesn't leave you with lingering questions or incomplete mysteries to be solved. However, having said that, I believe the author could tell more stories about Nadia, her family and the Vampire Council. You could end the story here and have no problem with the wrap up or you could show the struggles and challenges I'm sure the politics of their world would present. Either way, I'd be pleased I got to be part of this story. This isn't erotica by any means, but there's definite steam. I'd probably keep the series out of my children's hands if they're under 16, but my children swear I was overprotective, so make sure you read it before your child and make your own determination, would be my advice.

This story gets a 3.75 out of 5 stars from me!

I've followed this series from the beginning, so seeing Nadia blossom into the woman she is now is a bit gut wrenching for me. I almost didn't want to finish it, knowing that once I did, the journey with Nadia and Theodore would be over.

I did enjoy the story, but there were some parts, mostly the smut that got a bit repetitive and I had to step away for a minute to give myself a break.

The plot, once Nadia and Theodore come up for air seemed a bit rushed and I would have enjoyed to see the plot not be so rushed a bit, especially since this was the final book in the series.

Some parts were more show than tell, I personally would have enjoyed a bit more of that. Especially since a lot of this story happens within the first few months of their marriage, that I would have liked to see them go through the challenges as a couple, perhaps develop them as a wife and husband.

It also seemed that some of the issues she went through seemed to be resolved all to quickly and some of the side characters we meet just get swept under the rug. (Personally, I loved Marek and would have loved more with him!)

The brotherhood seemed too lack luster for me and that plot easily resolved.

The final challenge also seemed like it happened too fast for me.

However, I did enjoy this series and will be rereading it again! And I can't wait to see what the author writes next!

In this third book of The Pureblood Daughter trilogy, Nadia prepares for her wedding to Theodore and for her new role as viscountess. But as she unravels a dark conspiracy involving the hunters’ guild, Clan Kazamir, and the vampire brotherhood, Nadia and Theodore are forced to seek refuge at Graystone. There, Nadia hones her newfound powers and plots to bring down those responsible for her family's suffering.

I love a regency-set fantasy or paranormal romance, and it's always good to return to this world and enjoy the new book of the series. It was lovely to see the happily ever after and find out what happens to the main cast of characters.

However, I found this final book a little slow to start, especially considering it is the shortest book in the trilogy at around 200 pages. Things did accelerate around the halfway mark, but I would have liked a bit more complexity in the plot. There was some repetition of scenes (Nadia showing off her powers and explaining her backstory four separate times with different characters), and there were four sex scenes, so in a novel this length, the balance of plot to romance felt a little off for the finale.

Overall, it was great to see how this trilogy wrapped up, and it was another fun read.

I can't say enough how much I LOVE this series. It's perfect from start to finish. The first book was amazing, so was the second, and this one was a perfect ending. I love the plot development with Nadias family, their murder, who did it, and why they did it. It's so sad that Nadia lost everything because of greed and the power hungry b*itch! I can't stand that woman and she deserved everything and more that Nadia did 😡😡 also Theo is just perfection through all this. I love how he supports Nadia, but also shares his thoughts and disagrees with her. She is his world and he is hers. They balance out each other. I hate the loss of certain characters. I grew to love them so much and cried so hard. This book may have been short, but it wasn't short on sadness. I love this author and I can't wait to read more from her. This series was perfection. It was the best mix of vampire and regency! Exactly what I needed after the brigerton high has worn off.

The Pureblood Queen - Emberly Wyndham
5✨
What an amazing end to an amazing series. I have loved following Nadia and Theodores story. Nadia has grown so much since the fragile sick girl in book, never did I feel the need to put it down because of boredom. It always held my interest and kept me on my toes. The ending was perfect, who doesn’t love a HEA? Everything was tied up nicely and I wasn’t left with any unanswered questions. All in all I loved this series and would highly recommend this to fans of,

The Pureblood Queen is a fantastic conclusion to the Pureblood Daughter trilogy. It's dark, and there are some heartbreaking moments, but it's so very satisfying to see Nadia fully come into her own and seek justice for her parents. There's a nice balance still between the romance and the vengeance storylines, and once I started reading, I couldn't put this one down. I highly recommend this book to those who've read the first two books of the trilogy. If you enjoy dark vampire romances with a Regency feel, definitely check out the Pureblood Daughter trilogy!

I loved everything about this book . . . well, I take that back. I really hate when authors kill of characters I like. I know it has to happen sometimes, but I much prefer when it is a side character that I have absolutely no emotional attachment to. Also sad to learn this is the last book in the series, but those are the only things I didn't love. So basically, I loved everything!

This is a great series for anyone who loves (spicy) vampire romance. 🧛‍♂️ 🧛‍♀️

As Adeline and Viscount Theodore Rosetti move forward and plan their wedding more and more information comes to light about Adeline’s ancestry explaining why her parents were killed and also who instigated the murders. This book picks up the storyline where the second ended and I continue to enjoy all of the characters old and new as the story continues.

I really loved this series! It reminded me of Jane Austin's classics with a perfect blend of some fangs and spice. All three books in the series kept me wanting to find out what happens next. I had to force myself to stop, so I could get a little sleep. This is my first time reading a series by Emberly Wyndham and I can't wait to read more!

The Pureblood Queen Book 3 in The Pureblood Daughter Trilogy by Emberly Wyndham was a wonderful conclusion to this series. The intrigue, romance and secrets coming to life are well worth the read. Well done.

Vampire love

I loved the passion between them. She always fought for what she believed in. The struggles she faced only made her stronger. Great vampire romance book. If you like historian/fantasy romance, you will love this one.
