To some, having the attention of four princes might be a dream come true, but for Corina, it means four times the trouble.

Escaping burning buildings, living off scraps, being hunted by vamps--those are storms she knows how to weather. It's having the entire world observe as she and the Dynasty's golden boys engage in a blood bond that has her shaken. For all she knows, it won't even produce a cure for the mysterious blood sickness like they're hoping, which could mean she'll be put to death anyway.

And to make matters worse, as a side-effect of the bond, she finds herself falling for the very beasts she once pledged to remove from power by any means necessary.

Talk about a conflict of interest.

In the second installment of THE VAMPIRE'S MARK, will it be Corina's mission or her emotions that prevail?

I'm screaming because it ended and I have to wait for the next book. This series has a hold on me. Ms. Jonas is an awesome storyteller but she is also a very good tease. This book like the first pulls you in so deep but leaves you wanting more soooo much more. I felt like I was on a ride through the speed force.

I'm invested in each of the characters stories and can't wait to find out how everything plays out with this newly added addition to the plot! My hopes for the next book are for Roman to get his act together, that Silas gets his chance, I hope Julian gets his girl back and Levi has his way. ;)

Looking forward to the next books in this series

3.5-4 stars. I think here in book 2 I've finally become invested in this story. We scratched enough off the surface for me to see that this is in fact way more complex than I originally thought and it looks to be leading to a revolution. In this book we get even more POV's. I grabbed the narration off of Audible. Narrators are decent but I have to admit that all the characters sound the same except Levi, who has a British accent and sounds utterly delicious. Otherwise its hard to tell what male character's viewpoint we are in. Its a little off putting but not enough to make me stop listening. Just takes me a second to play catch up when I forget which character I'm in.

Corina ends up in even more trouble because she is constantly trying to escape, once ends in a life... altering event that brings all 4 princes together trying to save her hide. If that wasn't enough.. she tries to escape again and ends up captured along with Levi and in the hands of rogues. While the story was riveting its was definitely frustrating because no one knows wth is going on here. We spend alot of time twiddling our thumbs because things just aren't adding up fast enough. I can't wait for things to finally come to light. I will say the gray area between the black and white seems to be getting wider and wider as opposing sides come together in order to save Corina and Levi. Will it be enough to make a difference? What difference exactly needs to be made? Who is the real bad guy here? Maybe the next book will shed some light on all these unanswered questions.

#Must read .!!!!! So before I dive in head first I'd like to say if you haven't bought and read book one vampire mark you should do so now you won't regret the awesome read.Anyhow I am a new fan to rachel jonas I love how in this second series the book picks up right after the first it jumps right into after the press conference where all the dynasty princes show a all for one show when they all stood up and had Julian back when they seen him introble and all announced they all were going to blood claim Cori.however behind public's eye in this second book not all are onboard and have other thoughts about being stuck with Cori.and Cori she soon finds out that these so called monsters she all ways seemed them to be is false even when her heart tells her one thing her head tells her another and in the book she stays true to her family even when it feels like her heart being pulled in to even though she won't admit it.enemies who where once enemies become allies and new people are popping in to Cori and her princes web of lies line are crossed and truths somewhat comes out but in the end will one person ruin Cori and her princes blossoming love.and will Cori finally stop denying what her heart wants even though she denys it.

Holy Moly ! That ending....

I was not expecting this novel to go where it has.

And I am so jacked for the next one already. I need to know what is going to happen now with Aaric. I have suspicions but ...oh dear !

I love Levi, this novel really cemented that for me. He is such a bad-boy, and yup, totally a daredevil...but seeing his softer side in this book.. watch out ladies!

Julian and Elle, are also my favourites. Their characters, I definitely need more of. I am not sure how long thing series is suspected to be; but I am in it for the long haul. I want side books on each character, I want like 10 more with this much action.

This series is highly addictive and I highly recommend this series!

Note: I received this book from the author and I voluntarily give this review, it is my honest opinion.

OMG! Hello Storm was absolutely amazing, I enjoyed every single moment of it and my only complaint is that I have to wait so long for another book. Rachel Jonas has proven that she knows her way around a paranormal romance. Hell Storm is the second book in the Vampire's Mark series and things are heating up even more between Corina and the guys.

Getting to know the characters I already love and the others who get on my last nerve (look at you Roman) even more was fantastic. I get a better sense of Julian and Levi in this book. Julian who is so tight-lipped and controlled is kinda living by the moment when it comes to Corina, something that is not like him. I love how connected Corina and Julian have become and both respect the other and their interactions have become a little more interesting.

Then there is Levi who is basically sex on two legs, who is undeniably sexy but also has a totally different side to him that was totally unexpected and maybe made me say "Aww" a few times. I love Levi so much, when it comes to Corina he is such a little cinnamon roll. The two together, I couldn't help but see the sparks fly, they are good together and I think Levi just stole my role as favorite Prince.

There are two other princes, Silas and Roman. Silas is such a sweetheart and he has shown Corina decency even before and while these crazy events are taking place. He has respect for everything that everyone is going through and is just trying to save the people he cares about and that includes Corina who despite not having gone through the "claiming" yet, he really cares about. As for Roman, the guy is a jerk and by the end of Hell Storm I was basically pretty much done with him. I don't see a way for him to turn his life around if he is so willing to stay in such a destructive and dark place.

Plots are important, even with great characters, the plot has to be good for me to love a book and Hell Storm has a really good plot. There is so many dangers lurking around for the princes and Corina to stumble into then add in the factors of a few groups and the mysterious Dr. Percival plus the nosy reporter John Carlisle then you can imagine what sort of things can happen. Plus the plot twists just kept on coming, I love a good plot twist and Rachel has managed to throw-in a surprising amount of them and I can't wait to see how they affect the story.

Hell Storm had everything I could want in a story, steamy romance, motorcycle races, mysterious new people, betrayal and danger lurking around every corner. I was laughing at some parts, curious about others and on the edge of my seat for the rest of this book and I loved every moment of it. How can I possibly wait for the next book, Cold Heir. No matter the wait it's gonna take to long and three guesses on who the focus of that book be about, Roman has one chance and he better take it.

Buckle your seatbelts everyone...our little Blackbird aka Corina has a lot happen in this book. The blood bond begins with a few of the four Princes. How was she to know the overwhelming feelings that would come from it!! Of course the bonus here is it also messes with the guys LOL. Maybe this is what it will take to open their pompous minds and hearts! Maybe see things FINALLY as they are and not what they'd been brainwashed to believe? Cori and the guys begin to learn things about themselves, each other, and the world around them. However they also quickly learn there are people in the shadows working against them....and these particular shadows are oh so close. Danger Will Robinson, danger!!! Take the plunge and see how everyone works together, or not. Can the danger be revealed? There's a cliffhanger at the end, and I have an idea someone we meet will be a MASSIVE shocking revelation to one of the Prince's. I'm hoping we will learn more in the next book. These men have no clue. They thought Cori was being obstinate and rebellious? What they haven't clued into yet, but they WILL is how huge her heart is. Loyal to those she cares about, fierce, independent, and will fight to her death for what or who she believes in. Watch out, I think things are about to explode in the next book 😉💗.

Still with the overuse of blurted or blurt. It is annoying as hell. This time had less times of showing up I only counted 11 but still too many. Way too many. It’s noticeable.

Overall I’m enjoying the series but I just wish we had more bread crumbs and answers than we did for questions. I still don’t get what is all going on. I don’t understand if Roman is going to change. I don’t understand why this blood bond is so important and how it’ll make a cure. That’s not been explained. We get bits and pieces but not really anything of substance. We spent like several paragraphs on talking about the decor, the atmosphere, the house, the clothes I don’t care. Tell me it’s a pretty purple dress and move on. I don’t need to know not is was stitched and handwoven I don’t care personally.

Otherwise I’m enjoying the relationships as well. I still wish we could figure out all that was going on. I was hoping for some ties for some questions and I honestly don’t feel like I’ve received any answer that appease me.

I love Rachel Jonases writing and the fact that this series involves vampires 🧛‍♀️ is just an added bonus.

I’m not about to regurgitate the blurb so I’ll just say this book picks up where we left off in the first book. Tensions are high because now all four Princes lives are on the line and for a woman that holds many secrets. Cori has yet to accept her fate and will continue to try and find her way home however the feelings she is starting to feel for the princes and the unlikeliest friendship with Elle complicated things.
I like the plot twists and that you can’t completely read between the lines, I can’t quite see the bigger picture yet which is great because that means I’m surprised as they’re revealed.
In this book we see more of the Princes feelings toward Cori being revealed, especially Levi, as he and Cori spend a lot of time together. Don’t forget it’s a slow burn so everything is quite innocent even though they are highly attracted to each other. There is yet another massive cliffhanger and if I’m being frank leaves me a bit nervous for Cori and the Princes.

The Plot Thickens!!!

If Corina thought she can easily walk away from the situation at the end of book one she was sorely mistaken. It seems like she is still trying to figure out how to get out of the blood but she and the Prince's need to do to save all their lives. All of the Prince's except one seem to be on board with going forward. It seems like the more time Corina and the Prince's spend with each other the more their preconceived notions are changing. Just when you think everything is falling into place, situations raise that throw everything out of balance. Now there's a new player in board that is going to be left out of the game. We also get to see the ever elusive creator of the Ianites. The plot has just gotten even more interesting. Rachel has certainly hooked us to keep us wanting more, really looking forward to book three. Highly recommend this book as well you need to read book one!!! You will not be disappointed!!!

I thought I knew what direction this book might go, but I was so wrong. Cori is living at the palace and expected to bond with the four princes. She feels torn because she has feelings for some of the princes, but she misses her friends and family and feels the responsibility to get them needed supplies.
I loved that you could feel her battling emotions. She grew up one way, but now sees another side to the princes. It's the same for them. The ones she has bonded with are able to somewhat empathize with her. They are beginning to understand why humans want to be free. I loved the time spent with Levi. It helps to understand his personality more. There is a great twist at the end. Honestly the whole book was full of twists and turns that I did not see coming. Great writing, great world building, great book. Can't wait to see what happens next!

This is a book you definitely do not want to miss out on!! THE VAMPIRE'S MARK 2: HELL STORM released yesterday!!! Happy Book Birthday!!! This smoldering and smexy reverse harem has everything you could want. It's fan-yourself-sexy with a twisted and sinister side. In the first book, Cori, our brave and beautiful heroine, is set on a mission to save human-kind from their oppressors. She attends the gala with the most elite of elite of vampire-kind. In an attempt to gather intel for her team, she is spotted by Prince Julian, Silas, Levi, and Roman. Cue the smolder!! These sultry men will have you drooling and daydreaming. And if book 1 was amazing, book 2 was even better!! This book brings a whole new level to book boyfriend fantasies! I wholly recommend this series. 100% 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!!

This book is the second in the Vampire Mark series (which is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite paranormal romance series) which follows Cori and her four vampire princes. Rachel knows what she's doing with this series, the romance between Cori and each Prince is adorable and happens slowly, the action and mystery has you on the edge of your seat wondering what's going to happen next. While Cori and the Princes are wonderful and complex, Elle is by far my favorite character and has fully stolen my heart, I most definitely want a friend like her even if she's an AI. The story progresses with Cori and the Princes starting the blood bond they claimed to be doing at the end of the first book. While this book answered some questions, that ending has me guessing on what's going to happen next. I can't wait for the next installment of this series.

Holy Smokes! I just didn’t see this coming! Book two is full of action, mystery and deception. I can say that the male Ionians are difficult to some extent and one is a full-on jerk, Roman. I enjoyed how the story highlights a different male in this book, Levi and his interactions and development of relationship with Corina. Corina’s stunts cause for her and Levi to be put into a very dangerous situation. This book throws a huge wrench into the story and where you thought it was going, and it is so interesting that I am salivating waiting on the next installment. I will say that it is intriguing to see the Princes working with the humans, more specifically Blackbird’s friends! Total recommend, cant wait for next book!

I really enjoyed getting to see a softer more vulnerable side of Corina. It warmed my heart to see her come to the realization that these 4 (okay maybe not mcgrumpy-pants ... yet) are more than what meets the eye. She was able to maintain her strength, while also embracing the softer side of her emotions. You can still be a hardcore badass while having feelings.

Our little playboy is such a kindhearted gentleman underneath all that sexual tension. Levi was so much more than I had anticipated. He is cunning, loyal, and so damn caring. Can he still be a tease and make you want to swat at him every now and then? Absolutely, but he's also someone you can rely on in the direst of situations. He is someone Corina can trust wholeheartedly and she needs that to survive this new world around her.

I don't want to ruin too much, but what I am going to say is I was surprised by our little team up that came together to find Cori and Levi. Seeing how they all worked together and how much they all care about our girl really warmed my heart. It gave me a glimpse into the catalyst of change that Cori is going to bring us and I cannot wait to see it come to life.

My heart is yearning to see Cori and the guys continue to grow as they get to know each other and the world around them better. Secrets are going to come to light, but I feel that it will only strengthen their bonds going forward. I'm on the literal edge of my seat waiting in anticipation to see what is in store for our beloved Blackbird.

P.S. I swear to sweet lanta Roman you better not do what I think you are going to do.

Hell’s Storm is a wonderful addition to the Vampire’s Mark series. I love the world Ms. Jonas has created. Her Masterful story telling brings each page to life and makes it easy to lose myself among those pages.
There’s lots of adventure, twists and turns in this segment of Cori’s story.
I really like Cori a lot. I admire her loyalty to those she cares about, her fierceness and her will and determination to fight for what/who she believes in. I loved seeing how slowly the relationships between Cori and the princess’s start grow and blossom into something more.
The ending left me wanting more. I can’t wait for the next book.

OMG! If the last book was amazing, this one went further up that hill. I loved all the bonding moments between Levi and Corina (still young adult here, but wow was it hot!!!) And the stuff that happens near the end, I did not expect that at all! But boy am I going crazy over it, book 3 cannot come soon enough <3 I am in love with this series. Corina is just such an amazing lead and after having fallen for Julian in the first book, this book made me fall hard for Levi. I can't wait to see how her relationship with the guys grow...but Roman (and cough cough?) are a bit questionable atm with the stuff the happens. Book 3, I need youuuuu

Wow!! Loved learning more about the blood bond. Cori’s reaction to Roman and to the other three princes were absolutely fantastic to read. It’s interesting how it affects each of them and how it pulls them together. Loved especially reading how Levy can be quite protective and honorable. Each of them possess a strength/inner depth that would make any parent proud. They are more than their abilities and the bond is certainly shaping them in ways unforeseen. The twists in the end were surprising and I can’t wait for book 3. Kudos!! #mustread It was so good I pulled an all-nighter.

I absolutely loved Hell Storm! From the start of the book I simply could not put it down. We get to find out exactly how the blood bond works and the effects it has on both Corina and the Brothers. I love how Corina brings out a whole other side of Levi making me love him even more. There is also a character that gets introduced that I am dying to find out more about. Once again I am left hanging on the edge of me seat waiting for the next one in the series to be released. I highly recommend this series as well as any of her books!!

The Roller Coaster Ride of Emotions Continues!

And, I fear, the turn around the bend will be even steeper! My GOODNESS! I’m happily still enjoying this Series! I started to end every sentence of this review with exclamation points, but I thought readers wouldn’t be able to accept that use as credible. Well, let me tell you, dear Reader, Ms Jonas is a Masterful Storyteller. The spirals, turns, and plot twists of this adventure are great entertainment. The Love Story between the Heroine and her Harem is crazily believable in this weird realm they live in. I’m ready for Book 3, Ms Jonas!!

Reviewed as an Advance Review Copy

I love to read fantasy and this Dystopian Ianite series has captured my imagination. Corina is a human with such a strong sense of family and honour, you find yourself championing her cause and actions. The four Princes who vow to complete their blood bond with her are all passionate in their own uniqueness.
This book finishes on a cliffhanger.... So many unanswered questions... Where is Book 3 is top on that list.
Sit back and immerse yourself in this amazing series!

Second book on the Vampire’s Mark Series and it was incredible! It kept me captivated all the way long, I wasn’t able to put it down!
It was great to see another side of Levi instead of the self-centered, egotistical prince that he appears to be and I love that Cori is still torn between her cause and the connection she has with the princes.
It’s a great story and I’m eager to see the next part!!!

No spoilers of any kind included.
So this is all I’m going to say about this book and that is I thought it was fantastic and I’m going to leave it at that because I don’t want to give away all the surprises that’s hidden within this story.
So it’s going to be a big HECK YEAH I most definitely do recommend this book but if you haven’t read the first book then I highly suggest that you do, that way there’s no confusion.

Ha! This second installment to The Vampire's Mark series will suck you in even harder than the first. Cori and her Ianites need time to adjust to all the new changes coming about, but before they can, a new player strolls in from the sidelines and throws everything out of orbit. I can't wait to see how it all plays out!

Fantastic read, well written with a great plot and characters. I was absorbed from beginning to end. This book has action, adventure and is a page turner. Cori and her guys get in to a lot of trouble in this book. I also loved reading about the blood bond and how it affects Cori and also how it affects the princes. There were a few things I didn't see coming. I can't wait to read the next book.

Well I loved the first book and was really looking forward to reading this second book and BAM once again I found myself glued to this story as I continued with Corina and her 4 sexy vamp princes! An action packed but sexy paranormal reverse harem filled with twists you won’t see coming makes this a fantabulous second book!

When you finish a book and immediately want to flip to the beginning to read it again, you've found a winner. That's exactly what happened to me when I finished Hell Storm. The characters are developed so well and I'm so excited to see where they're taken in book 3.

Do you ever get anxious when you hit the end of a book because you want more? Yeah. That's me. I was hooked on book one. Obsessed with book two. Several twists had me begging and pleading for more. I need to know what happens. I have so many thoughts and responses built up that I need answers to.

Book 2 in the Vampire's Mark series just builds on the interesting and dangerous new world of Rachel Jonas. There is lots of confusion on behalf of all those involved, Ronan feels the need to abandon his friends, the other 3 princes are all for saving themselves and Corina. Corina's mind races and tortures her with wanting her men (unwillingly) and wanting to continue her life and her mission. Enter a dark mysterious silver eyed stranger who turns everything on its end and might just make or break the entire pact.

I'm left with more questions than answers.......I can't wait to see what happens next!

WOW!! This book is amazing. Corina is an extremely strong, independent character. I love all of her. The guys are growing on me as feelings begin to develop for Corina. Levi and Corina end up in some trouble due to the obligations she feels to help her family even if they may not accept her now that she is becoming an Ianite. I'm so excited for the next book.

The series just keeps getting better. The characters are well developed and you get real insight into the personalities as relationships develop. Plot twists are insane and I have no idea where it’s all going. I cannot wait for book 3 and anything else this author writes!!
