My name is Theoden, this is the story of my life.
Apparently, there has been a huge demand for me to tell it. Normally, I do what I want, unless the command comes from my Sire, Ara. But, revealing the tale about how I became the powerful vampire Prince of the City is something I think I will enjoy telling.
You’ll see my first mission for the church, my first kill, the life-changing moment when I lost my virginity, and how I chose my first son, all of the things that mean something to me, that made me the vampire I am.
So, sit back, and give me all of your attention, as I want your eyes on me. Now, let’s begin.
Prepare to be entertained to new heights as Theoden delivers you a unique tale of his life from childhood to the vampire Master you know him to be.
Warning: This is a prequel to the highly erotic, extremely dark and twisted New Haven Series and the spin-off, Odin Chronicles. I can’t stress enough how strong the sexual, violent, and adult content is in this book. It will steam up your glasses, and melt your contact lenses. The temperature in the room will rise to unbearable degrees. Pearls will be clutched and you may utter the words: “Oh my God” several times while reading. You have been warned. For mature readers only.
My Review Of Theoden: A New Haven Series Prequel by Nicholas Bella
Oh, dear.
This book just didn’t do it for me.
It started out really well. I love historical books and this one seemed interesting.
The characters were believable and my heart went out to poor little Theoden when he was describing how lonely he was as a child.
However, at around page 40 when things were just starting to get sexy (I love a m/m sex scene) it started to get a little…crazy.
There were a lot of “arg” and “Ooh”s. It started to sound like some kind of pirate gang bang in my head,
“Arg, me hearty. That’s not where yer peg leg goes!”.
And it just kept repeating. I don’t think I’ve ever said “Oooh, aaargh, ahhh” during sex.
As you know, I love the sex scenes but in this book? It was all sex scenes without any oomph to them. It was just constant fucking.
Fucking to punish, fucking to reward, fucking to change him into a vampire, fucking to change him into a dragon, fucking to teach him, fucking because he was the youngest in the “family”…you get me?
There was no build-up, no anticipation, no depth to it.
Also, they kept calling his arse a cunt. Everyone was going to fuck his cunt…is this something that is well-known to everyone else other than me?
Sorry, guys I just couldn’t get past page 100.
