Eye of Death by Alexander Charalambides
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a fast-paced, action story that brings the characters to life. I especially loved the character Rowena who made the book worthwhile. Her perspective emphasised the suspense, drama and danger and kept me on the edge of my seat as I questioned everything.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the 3rd book in the Vampire State series and it is just as enjoyable as the the first two books. The story keeps you gripped as you want to find out what happens. Rowena is a great character and the story about her indecision and confusion is really well written. I would definately recommend reading the first 2 books in this series as it will help you completely grasp the story.
The war is raging over freedom for humans in a vampire state. Rowena is not a reporter on the street right in the eye of the storm. In the middle of the war raging all around her. Her jobs is made all the more harder when she doesn’t know which side she wants to be on.
Add to this her blossoming romance with a human Prince and everything is uncertain in her world.
This story is full of action and adventure with danger and romance thrown into the mix as well.

Rowena is back and she is making a go of being an independent journalist with the help of Quintus, but on this day when she wakes up thinking she is late for work, she realises that she is on her own time and couldn’t be late but still getting up early is not easy for her, as she stumbles into the kitchen to find a note from Vincenzo, he is trying with these notes and today’s is no different with a joke and breakfast in the fridge. As she heads out to do an interview with Prince Antet with her sandwich in tow, she is thinking about the statement she released the day before and what the reactions to it have been, but she hasn’t got time to check them. As she pulls into a parking space near where the hotel is and checks in with Quintus, it is busy in the lobby and there are other news anchors making their own preparations, so she walks to the hotel and goes in via the back entrance and passed the Prince’s security, she pretty much walks into Quintus at the top of the stairs.
They head up to the Prince’s suite and she waves to an ex-colleague on the way, enjoying the look of surprise when he sees her, when she and Quintus arrive there, the Prince welcomes them with open arms, he is not quite ready to start the interview, but they talk and joke a little before talking about the format of the interview and how it is going to work without any camera’s present. They decide to record the audio only and then over coffee, they start the interview. They cover topics about both Rowena and the Prince and Rowena realises that she is getting from the Prince what she wanted from Vincenzo, it is a surprise and sets the tone for the rest of the interview, after it is all checked and completed and everyone is happy with the content and the agreement to allow more interviews in the future, Rowena and Quintus get ready to leave the hotel, this is when the Prince pulls Rowena to the side and asks her out on a date, Rowena says she will think about it and leaves.
As Vincenzo and Rowena prepare to leave for an event, they detour to see a friend on the way, but nothing new can be gleaned about the ULA political party through this source, so they head on to the event and meet Quintus there. The conversations on the boat aren’t wholly desirable to the humans on board and the news that one of the higher profile politicians has defected to the ULA, meaning that their hard work is about to become even harder is when Vincenzo confronts the party members at the same event, but it doesn’t end well and there is an argument between himself and Rowena, he leaves her standing in the cold and to fend for herself to get home again, alone. It is a few weeks later on that Rowena prepares for another interview with the Prince and this time, she is taking a camera with her as it is about the trade deal between Sanguinia and Kemet she will be reporting on, but when she gets to the Senatorio, things do not go quite to plan and it is only later on back at the hotel she finds out why and as things become heated, she takes the camera and shows the reality of the current situation and who is responsible for it/
This is the third installment of the Vampire State series and what a continuation it is, but can Rowena, Vincenzo and Quintus pull together or will this latest battle rip them all apart? Whose side is anyone on and will they stay that way, or will the lines blur? The only way to find out what the future holds is to read the book and find out.

Eye of Death is the third book in the Vampire State series. In order to truly appreciate this book, you need to read the two previous ones.
This book is a great continuation of the series. Rowena is deciding on her loyalties. Eye of Death contains some suspense, danger, drama, and social commentary that lead to some surprising twists. There isn’t much more I can say without ruining the impact of the story with spoilers.
I love the uniqueness of this series and look forward to reading the next book.

Eye of Death: A Paranormal Romance by Alexander Charalambides
Four Stars
Eye of Death is the third book in the Vampire State series by Alexander Charalambides. This series should be read in order, if you haven’t read the first two books, I highly recommend you go back and read them first. All of the books are excellent, but you need the backstory from the first two to really understand all of the nuances of this book. Rowena is back and trying to figure out which path she needs to take. This book hooked me from the first page and I just couldn’t put it down until I finished the last.Alexander Charalambides has a very interesting take on vampires that makes the story not like other vampire romance. If you love Paranormal Vampire Books, I highly recommend this one.

Charalambides continues to do a brilliant job with his story and character development within the pages of this series and its latest installment. I love how the story has come together and how the characters continue to just jump off the page. I feel that the story is so well written it will be enjoyed if you haven’t read the other parts of the series. However given the brilliance of the work I don’t think you will want to miss a single word. Can’t wait to see what we get from the author next!

I give Eye of Death: A paranormal romance (Vampire State Book 3) by Alexander Charalambides, 4 stars.
Rowena is back and just trying to figure things out in this her new life. She has ideals, things she strongly believes in, and will do anything to uphold these. You really see her grow and learn to make her own decisions. She is a very strong character, yet she has her issues like anyone. She is what makes this series so good. The story itself is gripping and interesting, dystopia at it’s best.
This is the third book in the series and you really have to read the first two before you read this one. The one thing, I wish there was a short lead-in or reminders of what happened in previous books. It has been a long time since I read the last book, with many other books in between. It took me a bit to not feel lost. Of course, I do have a horrible memory. However, once I got into it, I could not put the book down.
If you are a fan of supernatural dystopia, I recommend this book and series.

I’m really liking these vampire state novels. A unique little twist on vampire tales. In Eye of Death (Vampire State Book 3) by Alexander Charalambides Rowena is still working towards rights for humans. It seems she gets a big break through Prince Antet, royalty from a neighboring kingdom. I have to say in book two, City Without a Sun, I had a sneaking suspicion about the prince. I can’t make up my mind if I am pleased or disappointed in the way that turned out. (Can’t tell you that, gives away too much of the story). If you are a lover of vampire stories and like to see a unique twist on them, I think this book will fit the bill. I’m looking forward to the next one.

Eye of Death (Vampire State Book 3) by Alexander Charalambides
4 Stars
Once again Rowena is stuck in the middle of things. Sanguinia is tossed into chaos. Rowena tries her best to report the truth in the middle of a war zone. Understanding both sides, she finds it hard to pick a side. Yet when put in a situation with dire consequences, Rowena is finally for ex to make a decision, for better or for worse.
The book is filled with action, danger and betrayal. There are many things to keep you interested. Although Rowena has three love interests, I’m still waiting to see any romance happening. I’m not sure I understand her choices. She’s not with Luka; although he’s proven he would die for her. She stays with Vincenzo although they act more like roommates. I was disappointed with many aspects of this story. Regardless, it was well written and that’s why I gave it four stars. Here’s to hoping Rowena makes better choices in the next book.

Vampire State
Book 3
By Alexander Charalambides
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Romance and Vampires is what this story holds. This is a full length novel which holds so much more.
Rowena is at it again. This time it’s the Crown Prince of Kemit that has taken this story to new grounds. Now with all that is happening Rowena must decide which side she wants to be on. That is all I can say without giving out spoilers. So No Spoilers Here.
Alexander Charalambides has taken Vampires Romance to new heights. The story holds so much more. You can bet that as soon as you open this book you will not be able to put it down. But before you open this one, I encourage you to read Book 1 and Book 2 first. As this one starts up at the end of 2. I love the characters in this story. I also love watching them work through all that they face. Put your feels out there and enjoy this story as much as I have. Well done Alexander Charalambides! Well Done!

Eye of Death by Alexander Charalambides is the third book in the Vampire State series. Let me warn you to read these in order because the story does carry from one to the other and honestly, you don’t want to miss out on a great series. This book is even better than the last and I tore through it. As conditions have changed in Sanguinia life has changed for Rowena. In this book, there is a new romantic interest for her, but nothing is ever as simple as that. I really have enjoyed seeing the plot grow and change in this series and they always leave me wanting more. This is a great series of books if you enjoy paranormal, mystery, romance, and lots of twists and turns to keep you on your toes. I look forward to reading more from Charalambides in the future.

Rowena has some decisions to make.I highly recommend this book to see what Rowena decides and if she makes the right choice.

Eye Of Death: A paranormal romance by Alexander Charalambides is the third book in the Vampire State series. This book is an amazing addition to the series and I think has to be my favourite one so far. The author has done an incredible job of keeping the excitement of this series alive. This book feels just as original and interesting as book 1 and it would be my recommendation that you do read this from the beginning!!
I was hooked on this story right from the start and it really pulled me in. I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen, so much so I ended up reading the whole book in one sitting!! I was so caught up in the story and the development that before I knew it I was turning the last page.
The author has really created a unique and intriguing series with these books. He has taken the usual vampire type stories and completely turned them on their heads. I am thoroughly enjoying it all so much and cannot wait to see what else is to come.

This author continues to impress me once again I found myself completely lost in the pages of another fantastic addition to a great series. The characters are complex and well developed, the attention to even the smallest details always get me with this series you can tell the author takes great pride in what’s being written. The storyline is a faster paced storyline but in no way is that a bad thing it just keeps you on your toes. It’s a well written story that keeps me engaged from start to finish and I love every minute of it. I’m excited to see where this author takes readers next. Four big stars and highly recommended.

This series just keeps getting better and better, a feat I though Charalambides had made difficult to do with the last book in this series. Eye of Death is the third book in the Vampire State series from Charalambides. I would recommend that you start with book one if you haven’t before diving into this one. This is not your typical vampire or vampire romance series and really reimagines the rules we have come to expect in this particular trope. I love the action and adventure as well as the world building Charalambides weaves into his novels. I feel as if I could be right there alongside my favorite characters as they experience these adventures. I can’t say much more about the story line that isn’t already mentioned in the synopsis without ruining too much so I won’t. I can promise you this is one you do not want to miss out on reading though and you will be hooked on Charalambides unique writing styles that I have also come to love. Can’t wait for the next thing from him!

Eye of Death is the third instalment in the Vampire State series by Alexander Charalambides. As I have mentioned before, this series really does take vampire lore and shake it up- providing a very original and intriguing vampire story.
There is so much going on, and this is so much more than I had expected- but I don’t want to give away too much and spoil it for you. I was engrossed right from the beginning- with vampires, discord, crisis, action, adventure, danger, drama, surprising developments, politics, war, a bit of a social commentary, the paranormal, and romance. There is definitely a bit of a dark dystopian feel to the story/series, which I love- and it definitely elevated my whole reading experience.
I am eagerly awaiting the next book to see where we go from here.
Thank you, Alexander Charalambides!

I loved reading the book Eye of Death (Vampire State Book 3) by Alexander Charalambides. It is a story that pulled me in from the very beginning and I was hooked. It is the next exciting book in a series that I have loved since the first story. The book has an intriguing plot and storyline as well as wonderful characters. This story finds Rowena getting a new romantic interest as well as a new situation that happens in Sanguinia that puts the city in chaos. What does the future hold for Rowena and those she calls friends and allies? Read this book to find out. This story has action and danger. It had me turning pages wondering what is going to happen next. There are twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. I would suggest reading these books for you to fully understand the situations that occur in each story. Don’t miss out on an entertaining story that you won’t want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

I have once again ventured into this vampire state and I was not disappointed. I really like the flow
and continuity of this series. I find that the author has a very original story. I really felt as though
the characters just jumped right off of the page. I was totally glued to the book from start to finish.
I once again found that Rowena really drew my attention. I felt the emotions as she went through them. The intrigue and the drama is really balanced with the romance. I found that the story really flowed and I felt as though I was right there in it. I really like the way that Rowena mixes with not only Vincenzo but also Antet and somewhat with Luka and there is a bit of mixed emotions and betrayals. The whole situation is so complex and I like how the author is able to draw everything out. I will definitely be reading more from this author and this series.
