The Vampyren Invaders #1
Taken by the Vampyren
He was a conqueror. A warrior come to Earth to kill. On his own planet he was a prince. On Earth he was a murderer. On Earth, he was her owner. But Cassi's no passive, frightened girl. She stands up to him the first time she ever sees him. She's going to stand up to the Vampyren every time. Even if it kills her. But neither of them is quite what they seem.
Maybe, what fate has sown together shouldn't be torn apart.

The 3* is for the potential.
I have to be honest and say this felt more like a rough draft than a finished book.
It wasn’t only the editing the writing was jumpy as well. This made for difficult reading. I kept going back and re-reading bits to see what I’d missed. But it turned out I hadn’t.
The thing is there is potential here.
I nearly quit early on but the box set has nearly all 5* reviews so I kept going.
The story itself.
Aliens have taken control of earth. Said aliens are brutal, ruthless and drink blood. Humans have no say anymore. Blood banks and breeding pools along with fighting pits are a few of their options.
While humans might be down but they’re not out. The rebellion is fighting back.
And it appears not all vampyrens are the same.
I’m undecided at this point what to do next. Part of me wants to continue on. There’s something here after all. But will the writing be any better.
Only one way to find out I suppose. Fingers crossed I’m going in...

Not bad but it reads a lot like a fanfic. It requires a lot of polishing not only when it comes to spelling and grammar.

This is my 1st read and review for this author and wow what a fantastic story alien vampires landing on earth this is a very original story and I enjoyed it immensely and I will be looking out for more from this author. The Vampyrens invaded earth they have no morals and don’t care for anything but blood and sex from their slaves. Cassie is a strong woman who has been captured by Danton and he is a prince on his planet but not here on earth, two totally different people/ alien whose attraction is electric. Fantastic characters unique story and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

Very Intereting First in the New Series
TAKEN BY THE VAMPYREN is a very interesting first in this new series. I like how this first book gave us a deep dive in getting to know the two protagonists and the world, as it had become with the invasion of the Vampyren invasion. I didn’t quite understand the interlude w/the best friend, as later it seemed they weren’t really important, so the scene felt gratuitous rather than genuine to the plot. Overall, I am 100% invested and will continue this series. Good Stuff.

3.5 STARS
The book reminded me of the Beast series by Milana Jacks. With ruthlessness of the Alien invaders and their total disregard for the humans they found on Earth except for food and breeding. Although the Vamp and Cassie end up together. What the heck happened to Michael? Was that to just keep up our interest? Because it was getting boring at that point. Then nothing. And then....wham bam thank you ma'am with the Vamp guy. So the story was quasi good but for as long as it drug out there should have been more interaction between H & H ...

The Vampyren have invaded Earth and life on the planet will never be the same. Humans live at the whim of the invaders. Cassi has made it thus far. Her mother is at a breeding farm and it is Cassi's goal to locate her mother and get her out. She will always be a thorn in the Vampyren's side. She works at a bar and with the new way of living, bars are a priority business. She comes across a couple of warriors at a road closure and in her classy was she gives them the finger before speeding off the other way. Danton is one of those warriors and boy did she make an impression with him! She and her bestie end up joining the resistance and begin training. During a mission her partner is killed and she takes off on her motorcycle. As luck would have it, Danton is the one who sees her and catches her. Their's is a romance that neither side can understand, but that is not going to stop them. I really can't wait to read the rest of the series.

I have read a few books by the author and this is an enjoyable read that has potential. Cassi and her best friend are doing what they have to do after the vampyren invasion. Cassi works at a bar and while on her way to work with her best friend, catches the eye of Danton, an alien. Danton is a vampyre who is tasked with maintaining order and finding the insurgents. By some twist of fate, Cassi and Danton keep running into each other and they are unable to keep the beginnings of an attraction at bay. This is an interesting take on a vampire storyline but the beginning was a little slow and repetitive. However, once you got to the halfway point, the action picked up.

This story to me wasn't really a romance until the very end. It was actually kind of confusing when it came to Danton and Cassi's relationship. They both spotted each other to begin with but Cassi actually met someone else. Danton never forgot her and was always intrigued but than when they got together it really got weird. I felt like i was in the twilight zone. Was Cassi drugged by his pheromones or did it all happen willingly? The way it was written it seemed to me like she was in a drug induced stupor the whole time. Than later she decides she wants to be with him. What happened with Lan was complete left field.

I enjoyed reading this book, it’s the first one I’ve read by this author and I shall be reading more by him. The feisty human female gives as good as she gets in this story. It’s a pretty short read only taking a couple of hours to read cover to cover. The author has done a wonderful job of building the world and the characters so that they jump off the page. It’s a very well written interesting story.

An Unexpected Ending
I loved how the women were very kick assed. Even though they were down they weren't out. I brings to mind that old adject the female of the species is the most dangerous. It's true. Don't ever underestimate us women. We are stronger then some people realize. I love the ending. It was so unexpected. If you want to know read the story, I don't want to give the ending away.

Dried Blood
Cassi and Danton meet each other parted by heads on pikes. Romance in bloom, yes ?? The next time they meet it's literally by almost running into each other. This is far from your typical vampire romance. I really enjoyed the background of their story but it was a little dry. The flow isn't quite there yet. It's captivated me enough though that I'm going to go a little further with the Vampyren crew just to see what happens next. Here's lookin at ya Seth.

Cassie put herself in Danton's crosshairs when she flipped him, a random conquering invader, the bird and flitted away. Nice start to his craving for her. Pretty good story but definitely dragged getting to their being together. Then it's straight to the sex and being together forever and the end. Decent enough story but I am really glad I got the bundle. Editing needs a lot of work.

Cassi a determined bartender fights back against the alien invaders. Danton a Vampyren warrior isn’t the usual bloodthirsty invader. He loves Cassi’s feisty spirit and stalks her till he grabs her for her own safety. After a night if passion he shares her with his best friend. Bit of a slow burn and a cliffhanger too. I read this using my KU subscription.

I found this to be an exciting, action-packed and emotional thrill ride. I thought that the storyline was very interesting, the idea of alien vampires intriguing and the characters themselves enjoyable. I am looking forward to reading book two. This is my truthful , freely posted review.

Really Bad
It is a shame when such a good storyline and forethought can be written so poorly. I hate to be so critical but so much was compressed in this book. The sentences were rushed and ran on and on.

Cassie and Danton were on opposite sides of the invasion. But they overcame their differences because their magnetic pull to each other couldn’t be denied. Fast and fun read

Needs help
The story itself was pretty good however the editing in the verb it was not quite right. I sometimes wasn’t sure what the author was trying to say or what point they were trying to make. Just wasn’t real clear.

Taken by the Vampyren
I did not find this book easy to read. There were words left out that made me stop and try to figure out what was ment. The characters were a little one note. But you might enjoy it, as this is just my opinion. Happy reading.

Taken by the Vampyren
I thought for a minute Cassi would only belong to Danton I didn't know she would be attracted to Lan too. I really want to see how all this plays out and who will be the victor.

This vampire series was totally different than any i have read before. Once i started reading them i could not put the books down. They have it all, romance, some humor, very sexy sensual moments, life threatening danger and best of all HEA.
I highly recommend this books to everyone who loves vampire romances. Expect it to be a little more gritty than your average romance but so well wriiten and each book more addicting than the one before. Be sure to pick up a copy of each book in the series or grt the book bundle, you will be very very glad that you did.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Great story! Not what I expected, this book sucks you in from beginning to end! Narrator Craig A. Hart does a great job with the story and characters! On to book two!

Sexy and hot
What a great story. Writing was a little confusing at times and I wish there was more detail given but overall a good book.

It was a good story, however I didn't like the ending. It fell like a cliffhanger.

Soso.
There is a lot of violence. There are also many scenes with sex. The human women train and fight the Vampyren

This was an enticing book and I love how the books are interwoven with each other so you can get a better view of each character. Definitely an original concept and steamy read.
