Dance of the Phoenix

Cloak of the Vampire, Book 3

By: Sapir A. Englard

Narrated by: Lidia Dornet, Oliver Clarke

In a tantalizing follow-up to Blood of the Gods, author Sapir A. Englard returns underground to the dangerous world of vampires, where war looms on the horizon and jealousy courses through cold veins.

Aileen Henderson is still finding her bearings among the vampires. After a nightmarish introduction to their world through death, then the Auction, she’s finally found favor—and more carnal pleasures—with Lord Ragnor Rayne. But not even the head of the Rayne League can stave off the dark brutality of this place.

Fearful of sharing her Sacred status, Aileen passes for a Common, deep beneath the city where she took her last breath. After the Hecatomb is announced, it’s harder to hide her secret. The deadly tournament pits two warring Leagues against each other. And its rules are binding.

As the combatants prepare for battle, Aileen finds her allegiance torn. Powerless against Ragnor’s fiery appeal, she’s caught between the present and the past when a former lover appears. And as jealousies rage and loyalties shift, there’s no telling which side will win…or what might be lost.

Absolutely love this series!!!!

I love the characters and how they are built up through the books. I actually found myself crying (more than once) and smiling/laughing at other times because a character(s) was happy, sad, hurting, etc. I REALLY hope there is another book in the works! I’m not ready to part with this group of characters!

Not happy

I liked the books until all the good characters were killed off. Didn’t want to finish the book or the series.

Great book and series!

I really enjoyed listening to and reading this series! I liked that the characters were intriguing and very well developed throughout the series. The storyline continuously became more interesting, which was really great. The voice actors for the audible version did an excellent job bringing the characters to life. Overall, I really enjoyed the series. I wonder if there will be more books from this world/series because it would be awesome to see what happens with some of the characters. Overall, excellent book!

should have ended here

I hate when an author just keeps going and going so now we wait fir the next book. I really thought it would end her. the story is good but once it get to long I'm done.

So good!

OMG I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through. There is so much going on in this book and it’s really hard to put down once you start. Aileen irked me a little in the beginning with her constant need to argue over everything, but as the book continued, she learned to hold her tongue. I thought this was the last book in the series, but now I’m not sure. It kinda ends on a cliffhanger. I know this writer wrote Millennium Wolves which goes on and on and on, so maybe they’ll be another book. The narrators were amazing and I definitely recommend this series
