    The Vampire’s Club 5 – X. Aratare

    Lucas Daniels senses secrets all around him.

    Lucas left home for good and believes he is safe at Club Dyavol. His whole world is now Konstantin’s world. But though he trusts Konstantin completely, the more time he spends in the club, the more questions he has about those that call it home.

    Count Konstantin “the Wolf” Volk believes that now that Lucas is under his full protection at the club that Lucas is safe. Except he could not be more wrong. By being completely within Konstantin’s world, Lucas becomes the focus of every friend and foe Konstantin has.


    Secrets reveal themselves!!! That Konstantin is a vampire was the least of it. That’s all I’m saying because overflow of emotions shown below:

    * 。✰ ✧♡✧。♡〜٩(⋈◍>◡<◍)۶〜♡。✧♡✧ ✰ 。*

    This is a serial where each installment covers a day and/or night. So if you think about it, it’s very, very insta because Lucas and Konstantin has only interacted with each other for 5 days. But the way each book was written, it felt like an extended timeframe.

    The pace is fast but so many things happened. There was even a millennia long feud thrown in the mix. Vampire lovin’ aside, the history and the rich world-building in addition to all well-written characters made the books so addicting. Sure, we’re all here for Lucas and his Wolf, but the author also did a good job engaging me with the rest of the characters, whether friend or foe.

    Like I said before, I am seriously having a hard time writing The Vampire’s Club reviews because I only end up gushing (and repeating myself). This is a very very gushable series. Once again, I recommend waiting for all the books to be released before delving into this because the cliffhangers will drive you nuts.

    P.S.

    The serial should be read in order. TVC books here

    I’ve spent a lifetime crossing this culture
    Your sea of hate
    Others who found God, gray existing cold
    Let’s all rejoice in the end times
    Of sorrow and grief and an ocean of love

    I can stare into a soul
    I can stare into the sun
    Yeah, I want my life to begin
    All I have to do is let the right one in

    I’m only human sometimes
    I am the king of disorder
    I’m only human sometimes
    The sins of the father, the sins of the flesh tonight

    I’m only human sometimes
    I am the king of disorder
    I’m only human sometimes
    The sins of the father, the sins of the flesh tonight

    I’m not as ugly as I once was
    I’m not as shameful as I used to be
    Open your eyes, boy, open up the dream
    Yeah, I want my life to begin
    All I have to do is let the right one in

    I’m only human sometimes
    I am the king of disorder
    I’m only human sometimes
    The sins of the father, the sins of the flesh tonight

    I’m only human sometimes
    I am the king of disorder
    I’m only human sometimes
    The sins of the father, the sins of the flesh tonight

    I am usually distracted by the noise within my head
    I have tried for so long to remove the pieces of clutter
    But have found no solution, but to merely exist with these strangers
    The mountains I move with one stroke of a pen are heavy

    Soon I won’t have the strength in my bones to kill a fly
    I need to leave this place, I need to leave this place
    Surrounded by fear, engulfed by flames
    Endorsed by the most putrid, disgusting
    Despicable hatred that does exist, we can find our way

    I’m only human, I’m just a lie
    I’m only human sometimes
    I’m only human, I’m just a lie
    I’m only human sometimes
