#1 Bestseller in Paranormal Fantasy and Urban Fantasy

Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy fans will become enchanted with this deliciously dark and scandalous series by International Bestselling Author Emily Bex. It's everything vampire romances should be made of!

"Blood Covenant combines the hedonistic jet-setting pleasures of BILLIONAIRE ROMANCE and the dirty little secret thrills of a DEAD SEXY VAMPIRE!" - Katalina Leon, USA Today Bestselling Author

"This series is going to HIT THE CHARTS... what an epic tale. Thank you Emily from a NEW FAN!" - Cheryl, Amazon Reviewer

When he met her, he knew how it would end.

Shade Medici, a warrior king and sole male heir to the dynasty, is expected to mate and produce an heir to secure the continuation of the Medici coven. He's waited over five hundred years for the right mate, and when he meets Kate Reese, his attraction is more than primal - it's merciless.

She's also mortal.

Kate is fresh off a broken engagement and reluctant to open her heart, but her hesitations are no match for the unrelenting pursuits of the vampire king. Their passion for each other is searing...and not everyone is happy about it. Namely the ruling Council.

As they fight against deceit, treachery, and those who aim to see their love fail, Shade also struggles to control his impulses as Kate is immersed into his dark and dangerous world, but it's imperative he prepare her for the changes that will be demanded of her should she choose to bind herself to him through the blood covenant. All that scorches and glitters isn't gold, and she quickly learns that falling in love with a vampire comes at a hefty price:

It may just cost her everything.

"Scorching", "riveting", and hailed as "the NEXT BIG THING", The Medici Warrior Series follows the exploits of a vampire dynasty that spans four generations in a multi-genre novel with elements of paranormal, smoldering romance, and historical fiction. Get your copy today! Your vampire king is waiting...

Had no idea what I was getting into when I started reading the first book. I thought it would be a bit of fluff to tide me over while waiting on another series. I WAS WRONG!!!!! These books are additive. I could not get enough. The characters and world are so very real that I could be reading for 5 mins. and be stepping right into that world. I laughed, I cried, both sad and happy tears. I grew angry and anxious and every other emotion you can imagine. Shade and Kate's story is not an easy one. It is not just boy meets girl and fall in love and HEA after a few bumps in the road. It is heartfelt sorrow, happiness, love and fear all the things that make a great story. Shade Medici is a King, warrior, fearless, brave and driven to keep his people safe and his love for Kate is completely real with all the troubles and fears and everything that goes with it. There is betrayal, wars, loss and above all Love. There are tender moments, fighting, misunderstandings and still Love. Step into a world that gives you all the feels and make you never want to step out of it again. I WOULD HAVE GIVEN THIS SERIES A 10+ IF I COULD. DON'T KEEP YOUR VAMPIRE KING WAITING!!!

This was a really great book. If I had to say one thing I hate about it, Kate calling Slade Lover even before they were.
It sounds ridiculous it really does and I have to pretend it's not there as I read it. So yeah, get this book it really is good.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a wild ride!
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2020

Perhaps I'm a sucker for a vampire story, no pun intended, but I was engrossed after the first few chapters. I won't recap the whole book, you can read the blurb for that. What I will say is it is well-written and I thought the story-line was phenomenal! At first, I was a bit taken aback at the amount of pages but it read as quick for me as a book with many fewer pages. Once I realized the book recapped scenes from different characters POV, it explained the quantity of pages, and it wasn't something I had encountered before but I also felt it enhanced the readers perception of everything each and every character was feeling throughout each event. This only happens selectively, when it's important to know what each character is thinking, seeing or feeling, not every single scene.
If you have an intense aversion to colorful language and explicit sex scenes (including a tiny, tiny bit of M/M) then maybe this book is not for you, but if you want a gripping love story, full of bloody action, steamy erotic sex, filled with sexy lovable characters as well as villains you will loathe, and all the highs and lows that come along with that, then hold on tight because you are going to love this book! I have already started book 2, and it's off to a wild start as expected. Don't let the page count intimidate you. You won't even notice once you start reading!

3.0 out of 5 stars Review for books 1-4
Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2023

I’m not sure exactly how I feel about this series. On one hand I was engaged enough to read and continue reading (stopped with book 4). But on the other hand too many things just didn’t add up and for me it was more than enough to take away from the story.

I believe my biggest problem with this series is that it had SO MUCH potential but failed at every turn.

For example: there were way too many characters and each with their own storyline. Was unnecessary to the plot and took away from the story.

Also, I am not sure if it is just me, but I did not like that you would hear multiple peoples POV within the same paragraph. I found it confusing as to who was actually the one “talking” and it made it hard to follow.

would I read this again. - no
Do i recommend - No

It’s a love story full of lust and love. Intense. Some wording feels patronizing but given his age maybe it fits. I couldn’t quit reading this story. It pulls you along and that’s a very good thing. It’s a vampire and a mortal woman drawn to each other. If you like that idea, you need to read this book!

I haven't read a paranormal romance for quite sometime and I'm glad I did, this was a slow burner at first but I kept with it and then it had me gripped poor Kate honestly my heart goes out to her. I hope the vampire lass who Kate went to college with gets what's coming to her in book 2.

This book had flashes of great writing but it just went on and one. Flipping between characters without warning. The most annoying thing was the habit of the woman to call Shade Lover. Over and over again in every paragraph. The drag of the boom is really due to the level of detail on every little thing.

Have read all six books and they were spell binding. Absolutely brilliant storyline with characters you can't help but love or hate and twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. I am in absolute awe at the authors talent in weaving a series storyline that took me on a journey I never wanted to end. Thank you
