Part 2 (or part 3 if one counts the supplement) of the All King's Men Series about Vampires and their mates is the story of Severin and Arion.After a first "encounter" in previous book Severin suffers from the distance set between him and Arion. Arion on the other hand, even though he is thinking about Sev all the time can't admit being gay, not to his parents, not to his best friend and not to himself. But living without Sev is no option either.This story was for me a real improvement in comparison to the other two and worth the read of the others.First of all I am not into books with gay sexual relationships. Not that they disturb m but they simply don't excite me. It was the same in this book and there are a lot of sexual scenes here.BUT I enjoyed the development of all the characters, the way they started acting towards each other, enjoyed the number of events taking place, the rhythm... this book is definitely better than the previous two. I enjoyed meeting Micah and Sam and Trace again, liked discovering more about the others.Sometimes the language between the main characters is a bit strong but it fits, so why not.I only regretted that the way the book ended made it somehow too obvious what the next once are going to be about.For me it was a correct read that I enjoyed.This time I have to admit that I am curious about the next one.Rise of the Fallen (All the King's Men)Micah's Calling - Novella Supplement to Rise of the Fallen (All the King's Men)Heart of the Warrior (All the King's Men)The next one should be 'Rebel Obsesession' the story of IO.Enjoy the read MBTM
