3.5 StarsIf you're looking for quick vampire reads that tug at your heart, consider reading Laura Kaye's Vampire Warrior Kings series.  One of the things why I continue to enjoy this series is because each installment takes part in a different part of the world.  In Taken by the Vampire King, the reader is transported to beautiful Norway.Vampire Warrior King, Henrik Magnusson is ill.  He's dying and has pretty much accepted his fate.  As the fight against the Soul Eaters continue, Henrik rescues a woman who he seems to be undeniably drawn to. Will she be able to save him?I think for me the first book, In the Service of the King, has been my favorite of the series thus far. It was my first introduction to this particular vampire world.  With that being said, Ms. Kaye does a great job explaining this vampire world in each book making them wonderful, novella-length, standalone reads.I just loved the setting and the insights to the Northern Lights in Taken by the Vampire King.  As someone who has never seen these natural light displays in real life, I found the mythology behind the Aurora Borealis to be quite fascinating!  Henrik and Kaira find they have a lot of things in common. Their romance is a heart-warming one!* A complimentary copy was provided for an honest review. *
