**Thousands of copies sold, millions of pages read!**
A dark and mysterious paranormal romance series!
A young woman with a secret. A man with a death sentence. And a terrible fate that threatens to destroy them both ...
When I was invited to the secretive castle DuMoir, I knew I'd end up dead. The guests might be excited by the exclusive tour around the estate, and the ending ball that concludes it, but I know better.
The castle's inhabitants are vampires. And they want our blood.
I must find a way to survive their feast, because I'm not here as a clueless visitor. I'm here for a reason. Undercover work can be hard, but I've been through worse. That is until I unwillingly become a blood slave to Drake, a mysterious, brooding vampire prince.
Tragedy strikes the castle and chaos arise. Despite the new dangers surrounding us, I soon find out there's more to Drake than he lets on, and feelings I'm not supposed to have stir in my chest.
But I can't afford any distractions or everything will be lost. After all, I'm hiding a secret-a dark secret that might save us all ... or doom us forever.
A thrilling and bloody paranormal romance series, Rite World: Rite of the Vampire is a stunning new adult fantasy featuring a dark and mysterious vampire prince and a strong heroine. Fans of A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest and The Vampire Diaries will become addicted to this series!

Rite of the Vampire series by Juliana Haygert a five-star read that will compel you.
The Vampire Heir by Juliana Haygert a five-star read that you would give your first born for. This is the first book in the Rite of the Vampire Saga series and if the rest of the series is half as good then it will be amazing. I have read this author as part of another multi author series, but this was my first foray into what is solely her world and I am a fan the world has great depth and the characters have real qualities to them, you can imagine yourself in the ballroom and on the train, the anticipation and wonderment. Thea Harrington is a woman with secrets was she lucky when she won the lottery and was picked to go to DuMoir Castle or was it something else, it’s the hottest ticket to win. But once you are there much like Hotel California you may never leave. But as with life things are never as they appear on the surface as Prince Drake DuMoir is a perfect example of that. This series appears to be starting with a bang and I for one can’t wait for more!!
There is something for everyone in this story and it’s a great example of writing and I can only wait with baited breath for the rest of the series.
The Witch Queen by Juliana Haygert a five-star read that you will worship. This is the second book in the Rite of the Vampire Saga series and follows on from the first book The Vampire Heir, so you would need to have read that one first. Thea Harrington has completed her mission and much to everyone’s surprise she survived the ordeal, and not only survived but found something unexpected along the way. Prince Drake DuMoir is what she found, when she found him she realised that not all vampires are monsters as well as some other realisations.
This book brings more characters into the fold, we get to meet the witches of the Silverblood coven, and watch as they try to find the Queen of their coven, but will it be as easy as they think? I know I have a theory about that but I’m not sharing, you will need to read the story to find your own.
Drake and Thea both face a battle, but will they be strong enough to win the war? Juliana Haygert you have blown me away, I can’t wait for book three.
The Immortal Vow by Julianna Haygert a five-star read you will vow to love. This is the third book in the Rite of the Vampire saga and they have gone from strength to strength, we have seen Thea Harrington and Drake DuMoir come together and become so much stronger, but will they be strong enough to win a war, add to It Thea’s sickness and probable death if they don’t figure a way to save her before time runs out, it creates a thrilling read, that will have you reading each page quicker than the last, it’s a compelling read and you will need to finish this book once you start it so don’t start reading it if you don’t have time t finish it in one sitting. Thank you Julianna Haygert for your amazing words.

Great Series
This was an awesome series. Thea and Drake go through so much together, and their love stays strong for one another. Don't let these get away from you without reading them. I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes paranormal. 😉

This series is just amazing. It has a new twist on the vampire legend along with a complex web of intrigue surrounding witches. This series takes you to a world it's own that is immersive from start to finish. The characters are complex and bring out all the feels. This is a great series for PNR fans or just fans of the paranormal story in general.

Intriguing
If you love suspense, magic, drama and anything vampire, then this is definitely a series you want to pick up! Because even the jerky vampires are yummy! Juliana brings together a world that I can truly envision. Ruthless vampires, shifty werewolves and cold-hearted witches. Well put together, excellent characters and a backstory that keeps everything glued together. Love, war, intrigue, magic. Incredibly written characters, a strong, powerful storyline that keeps you turning the pages late into the night.

I totally loved Juliana Haygert’s Rite World: Rite of the Warlock series and for those who haven’t read it already, this boxset is a perfectly wonderful treat. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises. This series definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply repeat my individual reviews of each book and note that each is most definitely “one to read”, and that it is easy to highly recommend all of them.
The Warlock Lord (Book 1)
I have that giddy happy feeling one gets when a favorite author comes out with a really great new series. The author here is Juliana Haygert and the the series is Rite World: Rite of the Warlock of which The Warlock Lord is book 1. And it’s sooooo good. Read the publisher’s blurb. Luana and Kieran’s story is precisely the promised “kick-ass paranormal romance”. It’s also a great adventure with thrills and unexpected twists and turns. Add together a great plot and superb character building (even the characters you want to hate) and tie it all together with top-notch writing. This is the result you get.
The Wolf Consort (Book 2)
Luana and Keeran’s fantastic tale of forbidden love between a shifter and a warlock continues in book 2 of Juliana Haygert’s Rite World: Rite of the Warlock series. This sequel is as fantastic as book 1, and that’s a high bar to meet. It’s as “action-packed ... sultry and sinful” as promised in its publisher’s blurb, with perfectly crafted characters (good and - at least as importantly - evil as well) and a plot that just works perfectly.
The Crystal Rose (Book 3)
Juliana Haygert’s The Crystal Rose (Rite World: Rite of the Warlock Book 3) is the perfect conclusion to this high-octane adventure romance. I’ve loved Luana and Keeran’s take and am totally satisfied with the sendoff it was given. Fans of this series prepare to rejoice (and rush to download) this ebook. You will indeed be “howling in delight at its magical ending” as promised by its publisher. Newcomers, while you can pretty much read this standalone it really works best if you start this trilogy with its fantastic book 1, The Warlock Lord. Trust me, this series, with its wolves, warlocks, witches - and war, is just the perfect and exciting paranormal story you need.

Boy oh boy is Juliana Haygert’s Rite of the Vampire series amazing. The bottom line here is easy, just one simple word: “wow”. All three of the novels in this series was truly, and quite simply, wonderful. The overarching tale had just what I wanted and was well written and with great plots in each book and great cast of characters. Thea, the lead here, is perfectly crafted and her supporting cast (especially her beloved Drake) is also superb. It’s an emotional rollercoaster of a story over the course of the series, but well worth the ride.
But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises - the series definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that each of the books in this series is most definitely “one to read”, it is easy to highly recommend the entire series.

**Absolutely Amazing!**
Intense, emotional, thrilling and sexy, I could not put this series down! Character definition, well developed storyline and world building that on a higher level! Juliana definitely knows what she's doing bringing all these amazing characters together with this incredible series! I love the story of Luana and Keeran! It's incredibly sweet, wickedly fun and dangerously addictive! Juliana's world building is so intriguing, you can't help but get swept up into her stories! Her characters have incredible detail that you feel like you're friends with them and the storyline keeps you going from the very first page!

Fantastic triology. Wonderful characters especially Thea and Drake. Hellish adversaries especially Alex and Morda. High tension. Twists and turns aplenty. Emotionally draining. With lots of refreshing sidekicks like Thomas, Keeran, and Luana.

I voluntarily review this series, I got each book as an ARC.
This is a great supernatural series, where different races unite to fight against dark magic. There are interesting characters, a great storyline, romance, betrayal and of course magic. The heroes have to find their way in unknown fields, have to learn whom to trust and how to defeat the enemies.
A highly recommend series.

Fast paced
Never a dull moment in the Rite World! A bit racy, not for the under 18 crowd but the story line is amazing.

Another Fabulous Series
I can't put your books down!!!!! I started with Night Wolves, then the Wyth Court Series, follow by the Rite of the Vampire Series.
Next I'm on to Rite of the Warlock series.
Your stories are so well written ( I could actually feel the love between Drake and Thea), sooooo sexy, and have the strongest male and female characters ever. I love them all.
Please don't stop writing. YOU ARE AMAZING !!!

I really enjoyed this book and loved the characters and how they came together. I am glad that everything worked out for Thea and Drake and even more amazing that she was pregnant with his baby. I can't wait to read the Rite of Warlock about Keeran and Lunana story.

A suicidal mission begins this epic romance and so much bloodshed and magic. It starts with learning about what really matters and I find that awesome!

Another great trilogy!
I must confess that a gloom mood started inside me at the beginning, but the story surprised me with its twists. Love their journey and new characters. Ready to start Farrah and Wyatt's story.
