An illegal union, a banned birth, a Great Lie, and now, genocide. Vampire lawyer Donovan Trait and his wife, chemically-turned Judge Shirley Magnusen, are battling for their lives and the lives of their children. The Vampire Coalition wants them dead, but now the despots have also decided to expand their net, targeting any vampire whose blood is mixed with human or Were. Half-bloods are already treated like dirt by the Vampire Nation. They have been subjected to centuries of discrimination and cruelty at their hands. As the Coalition embarks on a campaign of terror, destruction, and slaughter, millions of half-bloods emerge from the shadows, ready and willing to reclaim their place in the Vampire Nation. The problem is, war cannot be unleashed out in the open in the human world. Battles must be fought in other ways. Even with an island of highly-skilled vampire nuns and a few Weres and humans at their side, it appears the Traits may be fighting an unwinnable war. Their only option may be to sacrifice their own lives in the hopes of setting all other half-bloods free.

Ye Gods! The Law is an Ass! Is book 2 in the Donovan Trait Series. In Book 1, we were introduced to Donovan Trait, a vampire and lawyer. Donovan is sexy, mysterious, smart and everything women want in a man. No woman has ever been enough for Donovan until he meets the vivacious, smart, and sexy Judge Shirley Magnusen. Donovan and Shirley fall head over heels in love and know that they are destined to spend eternity together. To do so, Shirley undergoes treatment by vampire scientists to turn into a vampire. Donovan and Shirley must agree to terms placed on them by the Vampire Coalition as part of their union of pure-blood vampire and turned human. They agree to allow vampire scientists to monitor the conception and birth of any children, not expecting to learn on her wedding day that she has become accidentally pregnant.
This startling discovery unleashes the fury of the Vampire Coalition who now believe that Donovan and Shirley have breeched the terms of their agreement. Their wedding, something which should be a joyous occasion, has taken a dark and sinister turn. Donovan and Shirley are suddenly forced to flee to save their lives and the life of their unborn child.
This book did not disappoint and was action packed throughout. I found myself rooting for Donovan and Shirley; hoping that the Vampire Coalition would realize the error of their old school ways and that Shirley and Donovan would finally get their happy ending. This book kept me on the edge of my seat as I waited with bated breath to see what would become of this power couple. I could not put down this book and had to continue reading to see how it would end. Would Donovan and Shirley survive the wrath of the Vampire Coalition? Will they get their happily ever after? I highly recommend both this book, and book 1 in the Donovan Trait series.

The Law Is An Ass! by Seelie Kay – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes
This book was an interesting and fun read. I really enjoyed the twist it did with the issues that come up trying to find out who was killing lawyers and finding out that one of these lawyers was a vampire. Not only is he protruded as a good lawyer, top bachelor and all-around good-looking guy. This guy was very thorough on finding out who did this to him. He’s love and the romance with and for his girlfriend was so well written and passionate that I actually enjoyed reading about the steamy parts when they were together. This is a short fun read that is a must.

First, We Kill All the Lawyers (Donovan Trait Book 1) By Seelie Kay
This book was an unexpected gem. I found it to be original, full of suspense, twists and turns, vampires, and so much more. This wasn’t just another vampire story, there were so many other elements going on all while there is a serial killer trying to kill lawyers and Donovan can’t figure out the connection between the lawyers that are being murdered. Donovan is a smooth talker and a bit of a ladies man until he starts seeing Judge Shirley Magnusen. I had a hard time putting this book down because I needed to know what was going to happen next. Who would be the next victim? Would they figure out who the killer is? To find these things out you need to read this book. This isn’t the first book I have read by this author and it won’t be my last. I suggest reading this story, you won’t regret it.

So Donovan Trait is a tall dark and handsome vampire bachelor. Someone is out to kill him and a bunch of other lawyers/judges but is not doing such a great job. The killer does not know the secret way of killing vampires. Donovan falls in love with Shirley a judge that almost dies by the hands of the killer and they go in hiding for a little bit to wait it out. They end up having a long discussion of turning her so they can get married. They have to bring it to the counsel to have the final say. Who could the killer be a crazy ex lover or someone coming back with a grudge from a past trial? What do all the victims have in common? Kay knows just how to write to keep you on edge and wanting more.

There is only one way to start a vampire story. Make it Spicy! And author Seelie Kay did not disappoint in this wonderful book First, We Kill All The Lawyers (Donovan Trait Series). There is no denying Donovan Trait, one of the best lawyers in town, knows what he is doing in the courtroom and in the bedroom! He is a vampire after all, they have been around the block a time or two. 300 years to be exact. Donovan might have seen a thing or two, but never found a true love. Until now. And she is Human. If all that wasn’t enough to keep him on his toes. Why not add a killer on the loose that wants to kill all the lawyers? Donovan has his hands full after he is one of the first lawyers to be attacked. He has to keep his “life style” hidden since he can’t die from normal human things like being stabbed and shot. It’s a whirlwind of emotions and crazy ups and downs. But this book is at the top of my list. I can’t wait to read more from this author!

First of all, I LOVED this book. The main character, Donovan, is written beautifully. He is gorgeous, polite, a little cocky and sometime talks like he is from the olden days.. which being a few hundred year old vampire, makes sense.
This book has everything! Vampires, were-bears, were-lynx, romance, law, mystery, murder, etc. Everything I love all in one!
Someone is going around killing a bunch of lawyers and no one knows why. Donovan, being a gorgeous play boy and a kick ass lawyer can bring many enemies so finding out who is doing this, takes a lot of investigation including some by magical beings. Donovan also becomes smitten with a human which makes things even more difficult for him.
One thing I loved about this book is that, the author also touched base with the other side of the book. We get a glimpse into the murderers life and motive.
Assuming the book’s title has Donovan Trait 1 on it, there might be a sequel! I will definitely be looking into more books written by Seelie Kay!

This book puts a new spin on the classic vampire tale. These are vampires of the 21st century and technology has brought them a LONG way. A captivating story line with plenty of twists and turns in the quest to find “whodunnit”. Intrigue, action, suspense, romance, and mystery are packed into every page. I didn’t want to put it down! The laundry can wait….get to reading!

This was a fun book to read and quite surprising. I just love Vampire Lawyer Donovan Trait and his “air” about him how he comes across in the courtroom. Then there is this suspense on whom is starting to kill lawyers including Donovan (or they are trying). The book has some twists on the mindset on whom is responsible and I love every word of this book. I also loved the sweet romance between Donovan and Shirley (whom is a judge). I am really hoping for another book in this series by the author. This book is a great read.

First, let me say that I really enjoyed the actual story of this book, however there was not enough setup of the actual characters. A number of characters were introduced in a very short amount of time, making it a bit confusing at first, but once you settle in the book is really good! I loved that you have a vampire that has chosen to become a lawyer in a rather large city in the United States. I do believe that a little more time spent on each of the characters would be awesome, and I’m hoping that in future novels the author will spend time developing the characters as much as they developed the story. I went around in circles trying to figure out the who-dun-it of this book, and in the end, well, you’ll see! All in all, an excellent book!

First We Kill All The Lawyers is Book One in The Donovan Trait Series by author Seelie Kay. Donovan Trait is a charismatic and drop-dead gorgeous lawyer that ladies fawn over and that everyone wants to be like. His charm and good looks, combined with his knowledge of the law has kept him winning cases in the court room for over three hundred years. A little seduction of judges and juries along the way has not hurt his court cases either and his appetite is insatiable both in and out of the courtroom.
Donovan Trait is unstoppable and untouchable, or so he thinks, until someone sets their sights on him and marks him for murder. Luckily for him, Vampires do not die. The problem is, after several hundred years he has finally met the love of his life who is a human. Shirley is a Judge that Donovan met during one of his cases who turns out to be a match for Donovan both in and out of the courtroom. She is beautiful, vivacious, and smart. However, she is merely mortal and marked for death. They now must battle for their lives as they are hunted like prey by an unknown killer whose motives are unbeknown to them. Donovan and his lady love must combine their skills and their knowledge to save their lives and catch the killer that has set their sights on them and marked them both for death.
First We Kill All The Lawyers had me on edge throughout as I became immersed in Donovan’s life. I felt his pain as he clung to life after several attempts on his life. I waited with bated breath to see if his lady love would survive the attempt on her life. I anxiously turned the pages to see if this man would find his happily ever after or if fate would intervene. I recommend this book and cannot wait to read more books in this series.

I enjoyed this read. Donovan Trait, known as a lawyer who wins, is charming, and a womanizer; not know for being a vampire. When someone tries to kill him not once… but then a second time he goes into hiding. It seems though that he was not the only target. Can he help find out what is behind these killings? The only thing that seems to link them is a single text to all of them before their demise. Can he get to the bottom of this so he can go back to living a normal life? I loved the personality of Donovan and the people he surrounds himself with.

First, We Kill All the Lawyers by Seelie Kay a fantastic five-star read. This is the first novel in the Donovan Trait series, and I am so excited for the rest, I have enjoyed reading this author previously, but this one just had the extra magic, it made me chuckle, but most of all it kept me hooked. This has an original quality to the story, and the characters are just sublime, the snark, the quirks, and the smoothness, all create this great story.

Donovan Trait is a defense attorney in Chicago and also a three-hundred-year-old vampire. He has been searching for his soulmate for a long time. He starts a relationship with Judge Shirley Magnusen. She’s everything he has been looking for, but he has his doubts about a future with her.
One morning while walking to the courthouse, Donovan is stabbed after receiving the text “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers! Starting with you!” He thinks nothing of it, to begin with, but when he is shot in the bathroom of the courthouse several days later, he knows he is being hunted by a killer.
Molly, Donovan’s secretary and also a werebear, elicits help from The Lynx, a private eye and hacker when another attorney is killed. Can they use connections between the lawyers to discover who the killer is before another attorney is killed?
After reading the synopsis of the book, I thought, “Oh, it’s just another vampire book.” Was I ever wrong? This book goes beyond any other vampire book and looks at the scientific discoveries that have helped vampires evolve and into the hierarchy of the vampire world. This story of love and mystery will astound you.

This was an enjoyable read. It’s definitely a different spin on the vampire stories (and other creatures). I like how the format is not focused as much on the vampire, but more shows it as a complication in certain situations. I also enjoy how you get the perspective of the killer and it’s clear when her scenes come up. I enjoy the interaction and personality that comes through on various characters and how they can still act in a way that is “human.” Looking forward to reading the next one!

Someone is killing lawyers, but a particular vampire lawyer won’t stay dead.
Donovan Trait is a marked man. Flamboyant, stunningly handsome, and notoriously insatiable, his attitude and style belie his skills in the courtroom. No one survives a cross-examination at Donovan’s hands. His knowledge of the law and trial practice has accumulated over the years… and years, of experience. More than three hundred years. You see, when Donovan isn’t seducing judges and juries, he’s a creature of the night. And now that someone has decided that it’s time to kill all lawyers, his lust for attention has set him in the murderer’s sights. The problem is, vampires don’t die. Not easily, anyway. That’s good news for Donovan, not so much for his very human lady love, also a target of the serial killer. Will several unsuccessful attempts on his life expose Donovan’s true nature? Will the killer learn the secret that will guarantee a permanent death? Or will Donovan finally manage to put an end to the killer’s murderous spree and live happily ever after, with his lady love?

First, We Kill All the Lawyers by Seelie Kay was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning.
Donovan is a highly respected lawyer in Chicago with a secret, he’s a vampire. When things take a serious twist after a case and someone attempts to take his life Donovan needs to find out who is after him and why? When other lawyers start to die it becomes very obvious that someone is focusing on lawyers.
Overall I really enjoyed this thrilling read. I really liked Donovan, he was handsome, smart and so much more. The additional characters also added a great element to the story. We also get the killers POV which allows us to see the person’s thoughts and craziness. I was on the edge of my seat trying to guess who the killer was and their motive. If you’re looking for a thrilling read that pulls you right in, 1-click and get started today on this one. I look forward to reading more from this author.

I always know I am in for one heck of a read when I pick up anything by Seelie Kay. She has a way of weaving stories that keep me engaged and well on the edge of my seat as I read. I was excited to see this new series, Donovan Trait, and the first book this one, was something with a bit of a twist to her other works. This has a heavy paranormal side to it with vampires and all the lore that goes with them. I loved how this wove a typical plot line but kept things interesting with interweaving the vampire storyline as well. I was constantly wondering if I had things figured out only to find out I was wrong lol, those are the best books to me personally. I loved every moment of this one and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in the series and to see where this new storyline will go.

The case in question this time is the illegal seizure of goods and harassment by law enforcement of his clients, he wins again of course, but as he is heading away from the courtroom, a brief tryst with a judge afterwards and through the lunchtime rush in the streets surrounding it, he receives a text message which is out of the ordinary, but believes that it is just a friend playing one of their usual pranks, that is until he ends up in hospital after receiving a stab wound to the side and collapses in the street. He wakes up in the hospital and on an IV blood transfusion and to the dulcet tones of his secretary pretending to be his fiancee in order to access his hospital room to get his sorted and out, at least once he has spoken to the police first, luckily for him, the first one on the scene is one he knows and won’t ask too many questions about how he is already healing after receiving a wound which would kill a human.
Next we meet the mystery killer and find out that they are very disturbed by the fact that Donovan Tate isn’t dead and that there is no mention of this in the newspapers at all, she then decides to give it another try because her plan would not succeed unless he was the first one to die. After that, it would seem random as they would all be killed in different ways and by seemingly different people, she had written her list out and was determined to follow through with it and kill all the lawyers who had wronged her and her family in the past.
A couple of days later and Donovan is back in the courtroom and cross examining another witness, he again succeeds in this and after a visit to his sister, who discusses his behaviour both inside and outside the courtroom to try to glean some information about his latest conquest and why this one might be the one he settles down with, this as well as who may have it in for him within the professional boundaries. After he leaves another night of passion with his very human lady love, he gets in a taxi to go to court, but he is unnerved by the behaviour of his driver and so calls his friend in law enforcement to subtly check it out while he is being driven to work, it is just before his appearance that he decides to go to the bathroom to straighten out his suit when he is shot by a mystery woman and is again awoken by the dulcet tones of his secretary.
It is after this that he decides to stay out of the spotlight and lay low as this is being investigated and the killer is made to believe that he is at death’s door and in a private facility, this encourages her to move onto the next names on her list and as the bodies pile up and there are no more leads that things get more serious for everyone involved.
Will the dead lawyers stay dead or will the true nature of the victims come to light? Will the killer be found and caught, or will they do as they say and “Kill all the lawyers!”? This is a thriller with a dash of romance which will leave you guessing until the end and wanting to see who is committing all these dastardly deeds in Chicago, but the only way to find out who it is is to read on and find out.

First We Kill All The Lawyers by Seelie Kay is the first book on the Donovan Trait series. This is quite a suspenseful story and it one that will absolutely grab your attention from page one! The author has really managed to keep this book interesting the whole way through. She throws in so many twists and turns that you are racing to get through it to find out how it will all end. I loved the main character as well. I thought he was such a well developed character it was so easy to connect with him. I wanted to read more about him even after thy r book had finished. This is a strong start to a new series and I am already excited to see what will be next!

This was a great story that kept me gripped from the beginning. It is a faced paced paranormal story. I loved the characters. They are very easy to connect to and well written.
Donovan is a well known lawyer. Not only is he well know but he is the best in the business. No one stands a chance against him in a court room, but Donovan has a secret. He’s a 300 year old vampire.
There is someone out to kill all the lawyers to write a wrong. The first one on their hit list is Donovan but after several attempts Donovan won’t die.
Why won’t he die? Will the killer figure out his secret and reveal just who he is? Or will Donovan figure out who is trying to kill him and end this persons plans?

First, We Kill All the Lawyers (Donovan Trait Series) By Seelie Kay 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book First, We Kill All the Lawyers (Donovan Trait Series) by Seelie Kay. It’s a story that pulled me in from the very beginning and I was hooked. I loved the character of Donovan Trait. He is charming, handsome, confident, and the target of a murderer. He is also a vampire. Donovan is a wonderful character that is well-developed and one that I loved to read about. What does the future hold for Donovan? Will the murder that has set his sights on not only Donovan but other lawyers as well be caught? This story does have romance and it also had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. I also enjoyed reading about the other additional characters that are introduced. Some of them had me wondering what their motives are and others that have an agenda. This is an amazing story that will have you not wanting to put it down until the final page. It is an entertaining and exciting read. I highly recommend reading it.

I always enjoy books from this author and enjoyed the different turn Kay took with these pages. It is most definitely not a stereotypical paranormal vampire trope but I loved it. The paranormal meets romantic suspense combined with Kay’s flair with her pen – dynamite! I couldn’t put this one down – highly enjoyable and very much recommended!

First, We Kill All the Lawyersis the first book in the Donovan Trait series by Seelie Kay and it really was such a fun read. This is a little different than the other books of hers that I have read- but just as intriguing, clever, and well-woven. This is a paranormal romantic suspense- a great murder mystery with vampires, lawyers, crime and investigation, a serial killer, hidden agendas, revenge, shifters, politics, and all woven with a very original take on vampire lore. Donovan Trait is a highly respected lawyer- a superstar in courtroom circles, but there is more to him than meets the eye. For one, he’s a vampire who’s over 300 years-old. Things take a dangerous and suspenseful turn when someone attempts to murder him. Luckily vampires are hard to kill, or this story would have ended rather quickly. Who has got him in their crosshairs and why? Then other lawyers begin to meet their ‘sticky ends’- and everything points to a serial killer obsessed with lawyers. But apart from all the victims being lawyers, nothing about the case connects or makes sense to Donovan and his ‘team’. The bodies are piling up, with no idea who could be targeted next. Donovan will need to do something to draw out the killer, especially if he is to protect those he cares about. What ensues makes for a gripping and suspenseful read. Add in the intriguing vampire lore details, the other paranormal elements, and a sweet romance- and I was hooked, reading it all in one sitting so I wouldn’t miss a moment. The ending leaves an opening for more- with some tantalizing threads that I hope we get to explore more in future instalments. I hope the next book isn’t too far away, because I can’t wait to continue this series.
