Knights of Past: Dark Paranormal Romance Fantasy (Transfusion Book 13)

Product Information

Stephanie Hudson had dreamed of being a writer ever since her obsession with reading books at an early age. What first became a quest to overcome the boundaries set against her in the form of dyslexia, has turned into a life's dream. I first started writing in the form of poetry and soon found a taste for horror and romance. Afterlife is the first book in the series of 12 books, with the story of Keira and Draven becoming ever more complicated in a world that sets them miles apart. I'm both super glad and tormented that we are waiting for another book to continue in my opinion the best set of books I've read (including Afterlife in them because how can we not). I really really really tried to like this book. The plot is 1000% what I was looking for and love... BUT THE DISASTROUS WRITING As usual Stephanie paints an excellent picture with her storytelling, the battles were explosive and the characters shine just as always. Though to be honest I found the warriors three to be slightly annoying with their accents. That was the point though, for them to sound authentic, I get that. They did grow on me more, towards the end. Also it was never explained how Trice knew Amelia...I am really hoping that's touched upon in the next one because I'm highly curious. Gobbled this up in a day... I love this author... i read afterlife up to book 7 as i felt the story was getting way to dragged out so i stopped there. I started this with some prior knowledge of the world and its characters, which is a must when starting this book.

Also the relationship between him and Lucifer was rather interesting. The comment he makes at the end of chapter three, when he says "you will bring me my queen"...it makes me wonder if her other novel 'devil in me' is set in the same universe as this, if that's so then is he referring to lily? Because lucius was never in that book...eh maybe I'm just reading too much into it. Another thing I'm curious about is whether or not lucius is actually the king of death, because I feel like in one of either the later afterlife books, which of course would've taken place way earlier than this series, they mentioned the king of death and how he'd already found his electus(I could be wrong though, of course). We get to see Amelia and Luc having personal time but also a lot more time with family and I'm really glad about that because we get a lot of laughter with it. I have also written The Devil in Me along with my husband Blake. A dark erotic standalone story that we are both really proud of. This book had me loving to hate the handsome Vampire King Luc! Some of the ways he let his demon behave was walking the fine line for me. I know he has a temper and he sure shows it here a long with letting us see his vulnerable side. Facing the truth once more, Theo must deal with the reality of being a Draven, as he copes with the responsibilities placed upon him. This takes him on a journey, and one that ends with a stone staircase deep underneath London’s surface, whereby he’ll really put his powers to the test. Entering the Afterlife Academy with his friends, he must face the reality of his nightmares, as he witnesses the Devil’s Ring, which is a fight club for the supernatural. Will he be able to deal with all, can he cope with the new reality he finds himself within, and what will become of the Reaper’s Book?

I loved this book because I loved seeing Amelia growing, becoming independent and doing things without Luc, but I won’t say it’s my favorite even tho I feel it because there are more books coming so I don’t know if the next one will be my ultimate favorite. She’s actually a strong character but put the Hero in front of her and all of sudden she is a mumbling stutering mess—I almost felt sorry for her. At first at least. Seeing him again after so many years surely gave her a whiplash but then slowly she started to give the Hero the time of day then I just got annoyed. Honey, he humiliated you!! I don’t care if he had a good reason for it. And then you found out that he has feelings for your own mother! And you’re giving him the time of day as if it was nothing? While the fearsome sex scenes are extremely intense and erotic between these two, and who doesn't love growly Lucius, I sometimes felt lost in the story because it seemed they just kept being thrown in every other scene. I would have preferred more on the communication side. For instance, when Lucius finally got around to discussing his daughter, it was a glossed over paragraph in which the reader never was able to experience his emotions in the telling to his Chosen. There were some heartfelt moments, and it was nice seeing some normalcy. Christmas at home with the gang was fun - great to reconnect with the Afterlife side. I just which there was a bit more balance.

Growing up with a strong fascination in the written word, Stephanie Hudson would start writing from an early age. This would continually develop throughout the years, allowing her to become an influential writer in her own right in time. Reading numerous fantasy novels, this would be something that she’d come to make her own unique name in. This series and the Afterlife series could have been great. The plot was excellent, the world-building was fine, and the development of the characters was excellent as well. The difficulty is the many numerous mistakes made with the English language. A few mistakes can be overlooked especially with self-published books. This writer's mistakes however, occur in every paragraph. The misuse of the word ' as' is one example. Another common mistake is the improper use of tenses. Past and future tense are incorrectly used with regularity. An example is ' I didn't mind sat in the room waiting for him '. The proper use of verbs is learned in elementary school. The wrong use of the word ' as' is so numerous it would take a chapter on its own to describe. Let's just say it is far too many mistakes for a writer of this many books not to have learned proper writing skills at some point. Soo firstly I really appreciate learning Lucius’ past finally. It only took 6 books to get that. And I must say Lucius is as sweet as I thought. Still super dangerous obviously but super sweet to Amelia. Even as a baby. And he is a irrational as her too. Fitting considering. Like to feel such guilt for something he didn’t do on purpose was ridiculous. And he felt and still feels the guilt. It’s craziness for sure.

Publication Order of Kings of Afterlife Books

This book (No 13) continues straight from where we left off, so we get to see our sexy vamp King go and lay his daughter to rest finally ( I cried soooo much) because it was such a lovely heart warming and sad part of his journey. Afterlife Saga is 12 books in total, which includes the books that are in two parts plus the many spin-off books that follow, as some stories are just too big for one book. At the moment I am finishing Lucius's story in the Transfusion Saga and all 12 books will be released very soon. After that will be the conclusion of Vincent's story, Imp and the Beast, Books 1 & 2 and the other Afterlife King Spin-off series. There is also the Afterlife Academy aimed at a younger audience but still an important part of the whole Afterlife World.
