It starts with an odd text, “The first thing we do, let’s kill all lawyers! Starting with you!”, thinking it is nothing but a bad joke lawyer Donovan Trait brushes it off. Soon after Trait finds himself in a hospital bed recovering from a stab wound that should have killed him. Trait has a secret though….he is a vampire and not that easy to kill. Even after being stabbed Trait does not really think there is much of a threat, that is until another attempt is made on his life. Now Trait is faking his demise in order to try to discover what is happening. Soon others in the legal field are murdered as well. Why is this happening? Who wants him dead? Why kill the others? Are those he cares about being targeted as well?
This is the first book I have read by Kay. I enjoyed the characters and can’t wait to see what comes next! I would recommend this book.

When I saw book 3 in the Donovan Trait Series I was so excited to dive on in! I highly recommend reading this series in order to as book 3 continue where book 2 left off at.
Donovan and Shirley are battling to protect their children as the Vampire Coalition wants them all dead. The Trait’s are trying to raise their family with the freedoms that they deserve…but it been a battle and a true uprising for Donovan and his family and to all half bloods to stand up and take charge so no one has to fear any longer of the Vampire Coalition and their hardcore rules. Suspense, game plans, vampires and some romance leads into a great story!!

Donovan Trait and his wife Shirley Magnusen are back as the hottest Lawyer in town and the Judge who snagged him in this third part of their story, so far, they are still running away from the Vampire Coalition after her chemical turning and the birth of their half blood children. The Coalition are not giving up on their plan to arrest them though, thanks to their revelations around the Great Lie and the corruption which lies at the heart of this ancient institution.
This escape from death and refusal to surrender has led the Coalition to widen their net and start punishing half bloods across the world until they turn themselves in. This leads Donovan and Shirley on a mission to not just protect their family, but the lives of the half bloods as well, but it isn’t as easy as they would like it to be. They are not just targeting vampires, but humans and Were’s as well, as if they haven’t experienced enough prejudice and cruelty in their lives already!
As the Coalition’s campaign ramps up, so does the Trait’s as they use their minds rather than force to get their message across and with the help of a few well place Were helpers and some nudging of the human authorities, they get the message out that half bloods should make themselves known in a safe way. When the Traits realise that if they are to save millions, they may have to sacrifice themselves in the process, but do they have the courage to act out their plan, or will the Coalition get to their hidden island before they can? This is another exciting instalment into this series full of vampires, lawyers and other supernatural creatures as time runs out in this fight for survival on a global scale which will keep you engrossed throughout.

This is another fantastic addition to thia series and easily my favourite book so far. I never struggle to get straight back into the story and the characters. This story was just as gripping as the others and I could not put it down. It was exciting, fast paced and so well written. The author has created a brilliant and original story that, so far, is not getting old. Each story progresses on from the last and builds on the characters and their journey. This is a fantastic story that I would strongly recommend to everyone.

This was an incredible story. When I first started reading it I didn’t realise it was the third book in the series so I quickly red the reviews on the first two and felt like I had an idea of what was happening but to be honest it didn’t really matter because the story was so exciting to read I just fell into the storyline and wasn’t let out until the very end. I have read a few books by this author which I was I automatically just grabbed this one and as usual it was everything I’ve come to expect from her – engaging read, great characters, well written and much more. I really liked Donovan and Shirley, what a great couple, they made some pretty huge sacrifices in this story with consequences that may not of made for a happy ending. I really enjoyed this story and I will definitely be making a point to read the first two in the series now!

Vive la Resistance by Seelie Kay is a Vampire/Were paranormal romance and is the third book in the Donovan Trait series. Now there is a huge war brewing. The Vampire Coalition wants to eliminate Half-Blood Vampires and Weres and those who have even the faintest trace of their blood. This includes Donovan Trait’s family and their two infant children. Unbeknownst to the Coalition, there are literally millions of Half-Bloods and they are prepared to fight for their freedom. And the Trait’s certainly won’t give in without putting up a fight.
I highly enjoyed all of the Donovan Trait books, but this one was by far my favorite! If you love books with vampires, weres, war with a dose of romance, you may find yourself really enjoying it as well. I certainly did. I definitely recommend reading the first two books before picking up Vive la Resistance. The previous books have a lot of information, situations and character building that entwine with the third book. Otherwise, pick it up and enjoy getting submersed into this fun world with adorable characters!

First, We Kill All the Lawyers by Seelie Kay is the first book to the Donovan Trait series. The confident, handsome Donovan Trait is a vampire casanova that chose to stop aging at 35 years old, but has been around since the late 1700s. Needless to say, he is very well versed with law… and the judges. But suddenly, someone is killing off lawyers and he has to stop whoever this serial killer is and protect himself and the ones he holds dear. Especially his newfound love, Judge Shirley Magnusen.
This was a very fun read for me and I was pulled in from the very beginning of the story by Donovan’s charm. While I love a good vampire romance, this one struck with me differently. It was unique from any other I had read before. These are not your typical vampires, so don’t expect this to be similar to anything you’ve ever encountered, regardless of how many vampire books you’ve read. Definitely recommend if you love vampires, romance and suspense!

Vive la Resistance is Book 3 in the Donovan Trait Series. The story continues with Donovan Trait, a vampire lawyer, and his chemically turned vampire turned wife Shirley Magnusen Trait, a judge. Donovan and Shirley are in hiding after being targeted by the Vampire Coalition. When Shirley became pregnant with twins the Vampire Coalition wanted the babies surrendered to them. When Donovan and Shirley refused to do so the Vampire Coalition ordered them dead.
As the Traits start to unravel centuries worth of cruelty, discrimination and lies about half-bloods and Weres by the Vampire Nation the Coalition continues their reign of terror. The worst lie of all was the Great Lie and the ensuing coverup that made all female vampires infertile and unable to have children. The Vampire Coalition has chosen all out war against all half bloods and Weres and are going to great lengths to kill anyone that might not be full blood vampire. To the Coalition it no longer matters if a human is killed in the process.
Millions of half bloods emerge from all over the world, ready to take a stand against the Vampire Nation for centuries worth of injustice and cruelty towards them by the Vampire Nation. Battles fought must be done in a way that does not draw attention to them in the human world.
Shirley and Donovan want the best life possible for their children and that involves living in a world where they are free. Rather than stand in the shadows and allow others to fight the war for them, the Traits choose to come out of hiding and make the ultimate sacrifice. They put their own lives on the line in a battle that will be impossible to win.
This book was well written and built up the suspense of the first two books. I admired the bravery of the Trait Family as they stood together as a family in the face of danger. They risked their own lives to save all half bloods and Weres from genocide called on by the Vampire Coalition. It was a risk they were willing to take to give not only their children a better life, but to create freedom and better lives for all vampires, half bloods and Weres. A must read! I highly recommend!

Ye Gods! The Law is an Ass! is the second book to the Donovan Trait series, by Seelie Kay. Wedding bells are ringing for my friends Donovan Trait and newly turned vampire, Shirley Magnusen! But when Seelie comes down with feeling under the weather, they make a new discovery… she is pregnant! While they are both quite excited about the news, the Vampire Coalition does not mirror their happiness. The Trait’s find themselves escaping to an island for vampires, and is ran by vampire nuns.
I just love the twists in this book. And while I giggled at some of the concepts initially, such as ‘vampire nuns’.. it all WORKS. Seelie makes everything flow together well. Her writing is fantastic and it grips you tight and pulls you into the world she weaves upon the pages. I do recommend reading the first installment before picking this book up. It will be so worth it. I cannot wait to dive into book 3!

This was a thrilling 5 star read. I was pulled right in from the beginning. The author does a great job with her writing and feels like you are right there with the characters. We continue with Donovan and Shirley’s story. This time they have to protect their family at all costs from the coalition…will they succeed?
If you’re looking for a great paranormal suspense this is the series for you. We get more on the edge of your seat moments. All of the characters added a great element to the story. I look forward to reading more from this series and author.

I have quickly fallen in love with this series, and it has also become one of my goes To’s. I have let all of my friends and family know about this series. I loved the first two books in the series, and this one was certainly no different. I loved the story development as well as the character development between the first two books and this one. As always, the author crafted together a wonderful engaging story, with everything I love about their writing. I was not able to put this book down until I finished it from beginning to end. The author knows how to capture a reader’s attention and transport them into the story. I love books where I can see and feel everything the characters are, feel like I’m right next to the character, and they did just that. It’s a rare skill to do and not many authors have the ability. I will definitely be reading more of their books in the future.

This is the second book in the Donovan Trait series by Seelie Kay and is just as intriguing as the first book. Seelie Kay sprinkled a little more intensity over this book but made sure to throw in some light-hearted humor to break up the tension. This book is a fun paranormal romantic suspense, with vampires, lawyers, vampire politics and law, agendas, uncovering the truth, and more. And as with the first book, Ye Gods! has an original take on vampire lore. If you loved the first book, then you really will want to grab a copy and dive in. If you have yet to read ‘First, We Kill All the Lawyers’, then I highly recommend that you do before starting on this story. There is important backstory, character details, and key information contained in Book One, which will definitely enhance your reading experience of this book. I’m excited to continue on reading this series in the near future.

This is the first book that i have read from the author and I loved every minute of it. I was not able tp put the book down, i had to finish it all in one sitting. First, We Kill All the Lawyers is the first book in the Donovan Trait series by Seelie Kay and it really was an amazing read. 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. 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 I was hooked. The ending leaves an opening for more. I can’t wait to see what the author has instore for this series.

Vive La Resistance is the third book in the Donovan Trait series by Seelie Kay. It is an engrossing paranormal romantic suspense- with vampires, vampire politics and law, danger, drama, conflict, high stakes, humour, race wars, tension, and plenty of originality. Ray Donovan and his wife Shirley have been through so much, but the stakes have gotten even higher now with not just their own safety at risk, but also that of their children, as well as the entire half-blood population. War is upon them and there is much riding on the outcome of their battles. So, strap yourself in as things are about to get interesting! If you have yet to read the first two books in this fantastic series, then I highly recommend that you do before starting on this one. There is a continuation of storyline as well as having important backstory, character details, and other key information to discover in the other two instalments which will certainly enhance your reading experience of this book. Happy Reading!

So many things going on in the lives of Donovan Trait and his family! A war with the Vampire Coalition, trying to keep their family alive, and at the same time keeping the humans from finding out. What a great book! The story grips you even if you haven’t read the other books in the series, which I plan to read in the very near future. I really felt that I connected with and understood what they were going through. I have read other books by this author and enjoyed them a lot. Love how she adds some humor to the stories. Can’t wait to read more of her books!

I loved the first two books in the series, and this one was certainly no different. I loved the story development as well as the character development between the first two books and this one! As always the author crafted together a wonderful engaging story, with everything I love about their writing!
Donovan and Shirley are facing the dilemma at hand, and at the same time raising their kids and giving them the best life possible. What would that consist of in a perfect world? Perhaps living free, and not fearing of a law broken for well, living your life! A decision for war was made, and Donovan and his wife knew what was on the line, meaning they may not make it. I found this character development very commendable. Despite what they could lose, they cared more on what they could gain! This book brought on a lot of feelings, a lot of action, hardship, and of course suspense. I was not sure what would turn out as I turned the pages. The author is very gifted at all that they do! I was engaged and wanting to know more, the author doesn’t give away what could happen, they keep you in suspense and to keep reading. I seriously love this series and the writing of this very amazing and gifted author!
I loved the first two books and I highly recommend reading those two then reading this one for a good story development . I loved this one truly as I do this author. I highly recommend this series, this book, and this author! All are must reads. For sure, not ones to be passed up! Truly a remarkable read!

This is the third book of the Donovan Trait series and it is just as good as the first two. Still in hiding Donovan and Shirley are raising their twins while trying to protect them and themselves for the coalition that wants to take away their children. Born behind the coalition’s back, the council did not take too lightly to it. The birth of the twins showed the other vampires that someone has been lying for years now they are covering their tracks.
Donovan and his family have declared war on the coalition. If they are going down, everyone is going down with them. The coalition retorted with genocide of any vampire who is not of pure blood. Everything seems to be working against the Trait family.
This book was by far the most action filled of the three. I was rooting for the Trait family from the very beginning. I love Donovan and Shirleys relationship. They are a power couple so in love. The twins are loved by all and have complete opposite personalities. They are an adorable family.

This is book 3 in the Donovan Trait series. I have been gripped by these stories from the first book and this one is no exception. I would highly recommend reading them from the beginning so you have a full picture of the characters and the story. If you love a paranormal story with vampires, Were shifters and humans and a fight between them all then this is definately a series for you.
We are back with the Trait family forced to go into hiding by the Vampire Coalition Donovan and his wife Shirley are going to war in a fight that could mean losing their lives.
The Trait family are forced to fight after the Coalition put warrants out for the capture of Donovan, Shirley and his kids. The Coalition is on a rampage trying to destroy everyone who isn’t pure vampire or half- breeds as they are called. The Coalition have ruled the vampire race through fear and lies and because Donovan and his family threated to reveal those lies the Coalition want them gone. So now Donovan and his wife are set out on a mission to recruit as many half- breeds and pure bloods to their side as possible if they are to stand a chance of winning this war. People should be free no matter who or what they are and that is what Donovan and his family are fighting for. Can they win this war and protect their innocent children and at the same time save everyone who doesn’t follow the Coalitions rules or will the Coalition be too strong and people to afraid to stand against them which will result in Donovan and Shirley losing their lives.

I loved reading this book. This is the third book in this series which I highly suggest you read the previous two books as they are just as great as this one. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. One of the things I love about this author is her writing skills. They are such that she makes her story pop and come to life. This book is no different. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the start. The characters are not only connectable but also made me feel as if I was part of their story. This is a well written story where the characters battle for their lives as well as their family lives. This is a story that is full of action and is fast paced. A story of vampires and a hard to put down story. I enjoyed watching the growth of the plot as well as the characters. This is a must read story that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and this author.

This is book three of the series. This has been a most exciting series. Donovan and Shirley have fought a very good fight for half-bloods and their right to life. In this installment, the war has been declared. They are still on the island and are battling by cyberwar and technological attacks. It’s kind of scary how much the plot could apply to real life. Well-written, the battle is for everyone, all half-bloods. They have been lied to for so long. The line is the sand has been drawn. I enjoyed the fact that even during all of this, they are still dealing with parenting struggles. The character interactions are all melding together so well. It’s a great finish to a terrific series. I enjoyed the series. I think other paranormal romance readers will also.

I really liked the 3rd installment of this series. The thing that was kind of disappointing was I felt the issue with the Matron from the first book was left unresolved, I kept waiting for something to happen. I did enjoy the final confrontation with the coalition. The old Vampires on the council were sick, and the way they treated half bloods, and the vampire women was just terrible. The ending was awesome, I liked the battle and the look into the future right after the battle, and how all their lives turned out. I do look forward to more books from this author.

Epic! What a great second book to the Donovan Trait series. I am in love with this unknown island with nuns that have the power to shield everyone from their location and information. Sounds like a good solid place to be. I am so happy that Shirley was safe and the babies were safe upon delivery, it is sad to think the vampire coalition lied to all vampires for centuries. Donovan’s family is amazing, rallying around him and Shirley to sand up against the coalition and let them know they are in the wrong. The ending left me dying for more! I can not wait until book three. I also hope to see if anything comes of the matron from the first book that tried to kill Shirley and Donovan. I am so obsessed with this series right now!

The Law is an Ass! (Donovan Trait Book 2) by Seelie Kay – Review by Carrie Reed
I love this book! Not only is there steamy romance there is murder and mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Donovan and Shirley try to figure out who is out to kill them. I liked the twist on vampire history, it is not your standard, vampires drink blood, there is science involved that has helped vampires evolve and I found that intriguing. The ending was left open, and I can’t wait to get to the next book to see what becomes of the high society matron and to see how Donovan and Shirley’s lives progress. I am also hopeful that Donovan’s sister Marilyn has a better go in the next book.

Donovan the three year old vampire lawyer is back! This time there is war raging between the Half Bloods who are fighting for survival and a place within the Vampire Nation who treat half bloods cruelly.
While this war is raging, they also have to be careful not to let it be known to the humans.
Donovan and his family are fighting the Vampire Coalition that wants them dead.
I haven’t read the second novel but this was also a run read but it was just as suspenseful as the first novel. There felt like there was so much at stake and I was on the edge of my seat as I read.
I will need to go back to read the second novel and find out how Donovan and their characters found themselves fighting the Vampire Coalition but I also hope we see Donovan again.

I love this series! I also love this author! Vive La Resistance! I say that with authority as if I’m involved. Because that’s exactly how this author makes you feel. That you are the half-breed fighting to survive! Donovan Trait is back! He’s one of my favorite Vampire character’s ever written, but I digress. We are at war, the Coalition vs Trait’s. Well it started out that way. But as you read through book three in the Donovan Trait series, you begin to realize it’s bigger than revenge and silencing the Trait’s. Now don’t take me saying war lightly because yes there may be some fire power, this is more cyber and technological warfare. Headed by the Lynx, he and his team find a way to get the messages out to half breeds. First starting with subliminal messages, then creating an app for protection, as well as creating units of humans to unknowingly keep the half breeds safe. Do they succeed? What other obstacles present themselves? Who will come out the victor of this war? Just a few questions and as you read I’m sure you will have others. Also another big theme throughout is vampire infertility, and why all the sudden one day it ceased to exist. The author does a fabulous job tying the two themes together in an unexpected way. She has a knack for that type of writing. It keeps you interested and guessing. You will not want to put this book down. But you must start at book one if you haven’t, it will be so worth it! I guarantee you will fall in love with Donovan Trait just like I have!

Seeing a new book from Seelie I could not wait to grab it and get reacquainted with old friends.
Donovan Trait is back in this original twisted paranormal Vampire romantic suspense tale. It is the third book in the series and a it only gets better. This is one series that you want to read the books in order to ensure you get the whole story. Not everything is doom and gloom. Seelie ensures to inject her humour throughout as only Seelie can.
Just to recap;
In book 1 – Donovan Trait is a lawyer who loves the lime light and a vampire. He loves a human and now they have a killer on their hands.
In book 2 – Donovan Trait and his bride are pregnant on the run when ancient Vampire law let them down.
Vampires, Donovan Trait and his wife are still on the run from the Vampire Coalition and the despots who don’t want half-blood babies to taint their true blood world. What they don’t count on is the other half bloods are coming out of the woodwork to claim their place in the Vampire Nation.
What ensues is a bloody, bloody war, or does it? You will have to grab this series/book and find out. You will not be disappointed.
Seelie said “Things are gonna get messy…” and they certainly do.

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! by Seelie Kay Five Stars
Ye Gods! The Law is an Ass! is the second book in the Donovan Trait series by Seelie Kay. Seelie Kay is one of my go to authors. I absolutely love the humor she adds to the serious situations her characters are in. Make sure you have read First, We Kill All the Lawyers before starting this book to get the full effect of what’s going on in this story. Donovan and Shirley are about to tie the knot and things go sideways. That’s all you get from me. Read the story. You definitely won’t be disappointed. It is a great fall read!

What a great read by Seelie Kay! I really enjoy the way she writes! Her books are always easy to follow and keep you wanting more. Donovan is a super likable character! He’s handsome, successful and a gentleman! So why would someone want him dead? Even though it may better to keep his secret if he could die. After 2 attempts something has to be done. Trying to find the person responsible is like looking for a needle in a haystack! I have already started book 2!
