Draco has grown so much throughout these books and so has Yana. Honestly, they are perfect for each other and I'm so happy that everything worked out for them in the end. I'll admit in book one I really didn't like him but he grew on me so much over the course of the three books. It's been a great journey from book one, to this conclusion in book three and I really hope we will get to see more of both these characters in the future in this amazing world that Bella Klaus has built. I always thought that Valentine and Mera would be my favourite couple, but nope Yana and Draco just pushed them off the top of the list!

Bring on more books by this author!

I admit I was not a Draco fan when I started this series. I couldn’t stand him. However, by the end of this book, by the author’s talents, I am now a fan. More on that in a minute, but first, this was a great concluding book. Poor Yana is being hunted by the one she killed, and he’ll do anything to capture and kill her including kill all the vampires including her mate. I think this book was my favorite of the whole series, and I came to really like Draco. No, he still isn’t a perfect person, but he really comes a long way and redeems himself. I really enjoyed this series, and this was a great conclusion. Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

This has been one hell of an adventure, one that once started I could not stop reading! The storyline is exciting and full of adventure, suspense, twists and turns, betrayal and political intrigue and this final book is every bit as good as the previous ones. The characters are fantastic and I have enjoyed their growth not just personally but also in their relationships and their chemistry is off the charts hot!! It’s an epic conclusion to this awesome series, one that I have really enjoyed.

Time is running out for Iana and draco. They must find a way to cure the vampires but the task is not as easy as they think. Many betrayals and lots of enemies keep them from their goal. Some interesting twits in this book and some serious steam. Great ending to this series.

[Rachel Joi Maples · Rating 5 out of 5]

what an epic finale to this series!!

[Seraphia Bunny · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wicked Vampire Lover is the third and final book in Bella Klaus's Royal Blood Saga series and once again this author had me devouring this book like a tasty treat. Yana and Draco found themselves betrayed by someone who promised to help them, but -- what can you expect when Draco insists on insulting people and treating them like they are worse than gum stuck to his shoe? Now, Draco has been arrested, Yana "freed" from his control, but now King Valentine wants to rid himself and the world of his uncle. Me thinks that will not play out well for anyone. Especially with a new iron vampire running rampant through Logris and creating a new era of havoc in its wake.
Things are really getting chaotic with the back and forth between Yana, Draco, Valentine, and Mera. But I love it all. Draco is trying (kinda sorta) to be better but it's more or less for Yana. LOL! When it comes to his nephew, he's still spitting nails and they have some things to work through. But that's going to have to be put on the backburner with the new iron vampire after Yana. Oops! Looks like someone wasn't truly dead after all! Begin the negotiations! Right?! LOL! I have to admit I so badly wanted to give Draco a good "talking to" about his attitude, but it really adds to the story.
I loved the revelations and the twists in this book. I can happily say now that I got some of the background story I've been craving about what happened, though I would have loved more detail, but it's good. Things get wrapped up pretty nicely in this book, so I'm overall pretty satisfied with that.
I'm rating this book a well-earned 5 out of 5 stars. I can easily say that after devouring this series I'm an avid fan of this author.

Wicked Vampire Lover wraps up the three-book series featuring the unbreakable, fated bond between Iyanna Torchbreaker, a hybrid witch, and vampire prince Draco Sargon. Their freedoms are at stake again in this book, when Draco is incarcerated by his nephew, the Vampire King Valentine for his crimes.

However, Draco’s usefulness proves more important than serving his time when an outbreak of “iron vampires” begin infesting Logiris with the aim of taking revenge on Iyanna and spreading their curse.

Yanna and Draco are given the task of finding the cause of and stopping the iron vampires, only to find that the cause and what they need to defeat them are in the hands of their many enemies. With their happiness and freedom at stake, they have no choice but to accept this quest and complete it within the Vampire King’s time limits.

I enjoyed this last-in-series more than the first two, because the issues going on in Logiris become more apparent, and Yanna and Draco are embroiled in a major world event as well as their own shenanigans. The world felt bigger, and with a whole host of truly interesting supporting characters, the story had more excitement and diversity.

Yanna and Draco really develop their relationship in this book, their feelings for each other finally running to the depth expected of fated mates, now Yanna has no more reservations.

An interesting finish to the series, Wicked Vampire Lover concludes Yanna and Draco’s story in a satisfying fashion.

This is the final book in the Royal Blood series. This is the final book of the Royal Blood series. Yana and Draco have very bad luck when their freedom is always at stake. To make matters worse, a group of cursed vampires, called Iron Vampires, plague the city of Logiris. Yana and Draco are tasked to stop these vampires and Yana ends up making a cure. During this time, Draco and Yana's relationship/bond intensifies.

This is the final book of the Royal Blood series. My, my, what a journey it has been. I actually liked Draco from the beginning, he had this mystery, lurk in the shadows, kind of alphahole feel to him (Yes, I know he was self-centered, arrogant, and a bit of an a*hole). Yana was a badass, the whole fighting nun/witch truly suited her. It's kind of refreshing to see King Valentine in more of an authoritative role and dishing out punishments (that's not the good kind). If you are into vampires, witches, complete badassary, plagued cities, HEA, or just a fan of Bella Klaus's work, then this is a must read!!

💖✨EXCITING, action filled conclusion!!!

Brilliant conclusion to this series! I loved the adventure, twists and turns, political intrigue, familial issues, witty banter, and so much more. Draco has truly grown since the first time we met him. This journey has been most enjoyable, and in this book he still has a few more lessons to take to heart 😉. I really love this world and characters we were all introduced to with the BLOOD FIRE SAGA series and other respective series....here's hoping we may see a few more spinoffs in the future? There's plenty of action, suspense, magic...and of course sexy time in this read, and I think fans of this couple will be thrilled with the way it ends! Buckle up!!

Provided entertainment, action, and romance

Yana, a Sister of the Temple of Light, has decided to give Prince Draconis, vampire prince of New Mesopotamia, a chance but only if they can get all of their souls back into the proper body. As the story progresses the switch has unintended consequences, a foe thought gone returns, and the means of redemption are within reach if long held beliefs are adjusted. Bella Klaus provided entertainment, action, and romance in Wicked Vampire Lover. I still want to read about the other brothers’ and Kain finding their soulmates.

I read this book with my Kindle Unlimited subscription and I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

[Kim Jeffries · Rating 2 out of 5]

Okay

Overall the book was okay, but I am very disappointed about the glaring plot hole that the author seemed to forget. *SPOILERS* when Draco and Yana are captured in the apartment by Valentine, she is affixed with an anklet that acts as a magnet that’s supposed to repel Draco to “maximum distance”, which was described to be used in situations of stalking. However, the anklet is never removed and almost immediately after being fitted with it, she goes to see Draco where, you guessed it, nothing happens. They then go on numerous adventures, live together, sleep in the same bed numerous times, etc. Anytime Draco is around her, he should be blasted back to whatever that maximum distance is supposed to be.

Aaahhh. Bella you killed it in this third book!

I just finished book 2 last night which ended in a cliffhanger. Then by 8 this morning I was deeply entrenched in book 3 which just came out this morning. Draco and Yana are amazing.

Forced to go after the Iron Vampire to be clear from all of the crimes that Draco has committed, Yana tries to come up ways to cure Vampires of this dreaded affliction. Things get so intense. The attraction between these two is so insane. I loved every minute. Bella, thank you for writing another incredible series! This is a must read series! Put it on top of your to be read pile. Enjoy!

[J · Rating 4 out of 5]

Book 3 and the conclusion of Klaus' Royal Blood Saga. I am loving the character growth and development with Draco and Yana. Not a fan of Drago at the beginning of this read but Klaus is so talented and is able to sway a readers opinion. A wildly, adventurous ride we've been on with these characters and I love this conclusion and can only hope to see them in future reads as this world and these characters I'm now so vested in! Wonderfully well written, I highly recommend the series as a whole with smooth flowing storyline that is exciting and captivating!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

[Tina · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a brilliant finale to this short series about Draco and Yana, got to say I loved it.
Seeing how things change for Draco and Yana was great, lots of things happening in this read, and I enjoyed seeing previous characters brought into this series. It was also lovely to see what happened in their future, nice touch.
Great story, plot and writing. The characters are great, lots of angst, loads of fighting going on, some dangerous scenes, and some steamy scenes, but it was sweet to see how both Draco and Yana change throughout thanks to their soul bond. Would recommend to anyone who loves a supernatural series.

[Lory · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a epic finale to this series!! I will admit I wasn't a big Draco fan. I didn't like him from the previous books and I really didn't like him in this book. Eventually he kinda of worm his way in and I couldn't help but feel bad for him. All the intrigue, challenges, twist and turns kept me hooked from beginning to end. I'm sad that the series ended but I was happy to see that everyone got the HEA they deserved. As always my reviews are totally voluntarily and no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are completely my own.

[Tara Syrnyk · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was another fantastic series ! Bella Klaus really knows how to tell a story! It was an exciting suspenseful story filled with twists and turns, it was an amazing adventure! And while it took some time to really “like” certain characters, they were all so well created, so well fleshed out that they felt like real individuals! I really appreciate how much effort goes into making such solid characters and it really adds strength and depth to a story. I thought this series concluded perfectly and I cannot wait to see what else we are treated with by this authour!

[Maureen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Favourite of the series

This is the final book in the trilogy, and for me, the best of the three. Yana and Draco have sorted out their relationship, well more or less, and are now trying to sort out everything else to allow them their happy ever after in peace. It's the last book, so you now that they'll get there in the end, but the path there is fun and action packed. At some point, I want to go back and read Mera and Valentine's story, but I'm enjoying this universe that Bella Klaus has created.

[Kristina Mischke · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great Vampire Series!

I have read numerous vampire series, and I did enjoy this one greatly. It just lagged a little bit in the third book. The love story between Yana and Draco was one for the story books lol literally. You will be rooting for them from the beginning, because the author does an amazing job developing the characters and the storyline. She fills it with so much action that the love between them continues to grow under insurmountable odds. It just goes to show that soul mates and/or love can just about overcome anything!!!

[Kira Bell · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have really enjoyed this series. The world building was fantastic, all the intrigue, challenges, twists and turns kept me turning the pages to see what happened next. Vampire politics, council politics and hidden agendas make the story twistedly engaging. Iyana and her fated mate's relationship also grows and solidifies in the this last book in the series making the overall story arc one that is quite satisfying. Great ending to a great series. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

[Victoria · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bella did not disappoint with book three in this amazing series. Yana and Draco’s story is a must read if you love vampires and witches. I love that it still has potential for more books as I love interconnecting series, as you get a chance to see your favourite characters popping up living their best lift. Yana and Draco has been one of the most intriguing reads I have read this year, and the steam level was just right. I sad saying goodbye to these characters but hopefully it's just for now.

[Jasmine Voosen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wicked Vampire Lover by Bella Klaus is the third and final book in the Royal Blood Saga Series and I loved every second. Bella is really a master and weaves her magic building the tension and drama at all the right times. The characters were diverse and not all lovable. Some I found had to grow on me, but in the end, everything and everyone seemed to fit. I can't wait to see what this very talented author has in store for us in her next project!

[Charlotte · Rating 5 out of 5]

In the last book i loved how changed Draco ended up being to how arrogant, stubborn and self centered he was at the beginning of this series. In the same breath Yana's character had grown as well. She was more confident, self assured and a great opposite to Draco.

So much happens in this last book that i wont put the down as it would spoil it. Ill just say that it was the perfect ending with all the loose ends tied up brilliantly. A cracking series and i really enjoyed reading it

[Raina · Rating 5 out of 5]

Last book of the saga and it is oh so good and wicked. I love this series and how each new one connects in so many ways with the others. The action and danger never stops. The twists are so unique and make the story unpredictable and wonderful. I love the main character of Yana. She grows so much from the nun in book one. And We get to see things from Draco’s view. The tension in the story does heat up and makes a brilliant romance. Can’t wait to see who’s story will be told next.

[Danielle Beguiled Bookworm · Rating 5 out of 5]

Of course Mrs. Bella Klaus picked up book 3 right where book 2 left off, thank you! Wow, what a journey Draco & Yana have endured, some self inflicted, through-out this series. Finally, after all the twists, turns, and concerns Yana gives into her fate, plus some steamy stuff too. There is redemption after dealing with both their haunting history in this grand finale. You will have to read this piece to know what transformations occur and what keeps those two out of prison.

[Kelly Bugler · Rating 4 out of 5]

brilliant read. loved this series.
Yana is still reeling knowing she has been mates to Draco. But trying to navigate the mindfield that is this mating, she also has to ensure that she and her bonded stay out of prison but this is harder than it seems especially when every person seems to have it out of them. This bonding has been so difficult for the both of them. but they both are so stubborn that they cant not make this work.
Brilliant read!

[BLT · Rating 4 out of 5]

Draco was not my favorite, I mean he needed a serious spanking BUT he might have enjoyed that too much. During this book my opinion has been shifted, Draco is alright. :-)
And Yana, oh boy that girl... She got handed a crap sandwich from the beginning and didn't always make the best choices but she came through; They came through.
This was a great conclusion to this series; The series is complete so please pick them all up and binge read, you won't regret it.

[Monique · Rating 5 out of 5]

A happy conclusion

I really enjoyed how both Yana and Draco grew as characters, and became closer to each other.
*spoiler alert!*

I’m also really glad that the fraud that is “Mother” Hecate got exposed, and that Draco reunited with his family. All in all, a satisfying end to the former vampire-hating nun, and former arrogant aristocrat. Amazing how love changed them both for the better. (Though, Yana clearly likes a bit of controlling Draco 😉)

[MRS SHARON · Rating 5 out of 5]

And they all lived happily ever after

Loved it!
Continued from where we lefted off in book two
Yana and Draco learn through their bond how to work together the "NEW" Draco is learning to chill out he's watching Yana grow being right at her side and Yana is learning to grow.
And like I said they all lived happily ever after.
Bella rounds the book up beautifully, really glad I read the Yana , Draco combo. Thoroughly enjoyed it . Thank you Bella.x

[Sam · Rating 4 out of 5]

This has been an engaging series full of twists and turns and enough intrigue to keep me turning pages. The uses of vampire politics, hidden agendas and betrayals keeps you wanting more. I love the slow development and solidification of Yana and Dracos relationship and how it all pulls together in thai fitting conclusion.

[Lynn Stifle · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fantastic conclusion to this series. Iyana and Draco must find a cure for the vampires and time is running out. Iyana and Draco’s story will suck you in and hold you hostage until the very end. It’s filled with banter, action, suspense, twists and turns, betrayal, and steam. It’s the kind of tale that you can lose yourself in. Highly recommend!!
