Poor copy of the Vampire Diaries . writer does a good job at world building, but needs to learn how to show the reader the story rather than telling it to them. I could only force myself to read the first 25% then I deleted the set from my library!
I've read the whole series in 2 days couldn't stop and no sleep. I need more and I didn't want it to finish. Recommend but Eve could be annoying Michel was obnoxiously frustrating at times but it was well written the story kept me gripped.
I normally love books about vampires but I could not stand this series. I read books 1-3 in totality and got so tired of the repetitiveness that I skipped to the last chapter of book 5. The main character is awful she has zero control over herself at any time in books 1-3 and flip-flops from love to hate in literally seconds. She consistently makes dramatic statements like 'I will never' which she breaks almost in the next sentence. I had no respect for her because she clearly had no respect for herself. The two main love interests, Michael and Julian were different from the main character in some respects - though it should be noted this is firmly down to the plot as opposed to actual character development. Julian in particular is much more interesting but he is somewhat of a side character in books 1 and 3 so unfortunately we don't get to see as much of him as I would have perhaps liked. The ending of the book was unsurprising, which is shocking considering that I literally skipped two entire books, but goes to highlight just how little plot/character development occurs during these stories. The first three books were difficult to get through in terms of plot as there are lots of secrets which Michael and Julian are hiding from Eve (the main character) so the plot sort of jumps around and you're never quite sure of the various motivations behind things. I assume these motivations were made clear in books 4 and 5 but I wasn't willing to stick around long enough to read them given how much Eve irritated me.
College student Eve Hayden's life begins to spiral out of control the evening she agrees to meet with a linguistics professor in an attempt to have her deceased mother's ancient French manuscript translated. Little does she know that the professor is actually an eight hundred year old vampire trying to recover his twin brother's manuscript. Eve's highly emotional journey is fraught with deception, covert activity, and extreme danger to her and all human existence. Don't think that you will be able to determine just where this story plot is heading because there are just too many questions, too many secrets, too much deception, and very few people willing to be truthful. Eve's attraction to both of the twin vampire's is a pleasant respite from all of the violence and intrigue. This was a very gripping story with many, many twists and turns in the plot; a great adventure that will suck you into the action and hold you hostage until the very end!!!!!
What a journey you are brought on in this Series. You meet Eve, Michel and Julian. The story is full of descriptive intense scenes between the three of them. The eternal fight between good and evil. Between mortals, vampires and fallen angels. Just when you think you have the answers and the truth, along comes a twist and you are back on the edge of your seat. All is not what it seems! Will good overcome evil - get the series and find out - you will not be disappointed. I could not put this series down. You will crave more. This is a series you do not want to miss. I would give this epic Dominion Series more stars if I could.

Overall, this book has some good to it. Vampires are never bad in my eyes. I adore them. The main character, however, was every hard to enjoy. She was weak, whiny, and argumentative. It took until book three that the storyline got interesting rather than confusing. But, I did finish the story and it was indeed a good plot. It just seemed unrefined. The dialogue need a bit of work as well.
The premise of the story was good, and that was really the only thing that kept me reading. There was A LOT of repetition that was unnecessary. There were also contradictions that had me shaking my head more then once. The back and forth between the two brothers got annoying. And as far as the heroine goes, she could have been stronger. Breaking into tears all the time made me not like her very much.
If you want a long story about a selfish self absorb ed girl and her two perfect lovers, this book is for you. Poorly written, it repeat s almost every adjective repeatedly! Will say it kept me intreaged enough to read the whole thing, hoping to have a conclusion. Nope, still in limbo!
Unfortunately, I couldn't finish this. I read the first book thinking that surely it had to get better. But a third of the way into book to and I can't stand another minute. There isn't a single character I can even remotely like in this book.
I have read this book over a weeks time. Just finished the last couple of chapters. It was to drawn out. I just couldn't read it all at once. Just didn't hold my attention for long.
If you like vampires and romance you will love this series. Their is enough action going on that you just have to read the next book. I’m looking at other books and series from this author
There were some good elements in this book, but overall seems to be irrelevant and even odd. I wish the book had a different turn, and the characters had more depth. Eve seemed to be extremely emotional all the time and it was frustrating.
On but not my favourite. The poor cats seem to be an afterthought, forgotten then reappear only to disappear again, even with so many opportunities to include them. Some parts seem to forget that something had already transpired earlier in the story.
Highly recommend this series, unlike most 'vampire" stories that have little "meat" to them, this is very nourishing, full of twists n turns that make up this story.😉
The twist and turns, the emotional conflict and what comes next, kept me hooked and thinking of the books even while not reading. Highly recommend this series.
I found this book fascinating. Totally different concept, which I really appreciated. This is a story of good versus evil. Meet Eva, and the gorgeous vampire twins, Julian and Mishel. I do have to say though, I could have enjoyed it more if there wasn't so much descriptive sex, although I think it may have been necessary for the story. S. E. Lund has quite an imagination! To me, this is a 5-star series!
Spoiler alert. This author does a wonderful job of world building, but she gets lost in repetitiveness. Books 1-3 were very well crafted with good sentence structure and spelling. Again, very wordy, explaining the same things over and over again. And the heroine's angst over not being told all of the plans to overthrow the big bad, too often and too much. I slugged on through to the end of book 5 to see what type of ending she would give this story and I was again disappointed. I kept wanting this set of books to get better, but they lost their impetus as well as their spelling and wordcraft. This author shows a lot of promise and I will try some of her other works in the future.
