This month we're reading "A duel with the vampire lord" by Elise Kova in my book club and I couldn't help but doing this bc of this dialogue:
“Your people thrive off it.”
“Do we look like we��re thriving?” he says coolly, leaning closer. I can feel angry power vibrating the air around him. “Tell me, from what you have seen, is this the mighty vampire horde you were expecting?”
I know, I know, it's not the accurate reaction but I thought of that Lisa meme. Also yes, I used Alucard's clothes for inspo (it's really similar to the cover art for the book)

DUEL WITH THE VAMPIRE LORD REVIEW
Merhaba dostlar! Bugün Elisé Kova'dan Vampir Lordu İle Düello kitabıyla karşınızdayım! 2025'te okuduğum ilk kitaptı. Öncelikle ben önceden Elf Kralı ile Anlaşma'yı okumuştum fakat okuduğum dönem biraz yoğun olduğu için bölük pörçük bir okuma olmuştu. Kurulan evreni anlamış olsam da içine girememiştim. Karakterlerle istediğim o bağı kuramamıştım. Çok eksik kalmıştı seri ve geçen aylarda "Vampir Lordu İle Düello"'yu ve "Peri Kralı İle Dans" kitabını görmüştüm. Biraz araştırdığımda birbirinden bağımsız okunabileceğini gördüm. Çünkü hikâyeler evrenin farklı bölgelerinde ve farklı karakterleri anlatıyordu. Ve fırsat bu fırsat diyerek kitabı okudum…✨ Beni henüz çok tanımıyorsunuz fakat ben kurt adamlı, vampirli, cadılı kitaplara, dizilere, filmlere bayılırım..🥱 Kısacası Yılan Ve Gecenin Kanatları'ndan sonra vampir aşkım kabardı diyebiliriz..🧛🏻♀️🤌🏻👀 Üçüncü kitabın konusu ikincisinden daha çok ilgimi çekti ve ilk kitabı beğenmememin biraz da benden kaynaklı olduğunu düşünüyordum. Haklı da çıktım..😏
Konusundan bahsedecek olursam: Kitabımızda Avcı Mezrası denilen bir yer var ve burada yaşayan avcılar kendilerini kana susamış vampirlerden korumak zorundalar. Ana karakterimiz Floriane bu avcıların silahlarını, avcı kıyafetlerinin yapımında büyük önem taşıyan Demirci Bakire'miz. Evlenmesi yasak ve evleneceği adamı bile seçme hakkı verilmeyen, kendini annesiyle birlikte avcılara yapması gereken orak ve hançerlere adamış bir kız. Fakat her şey Kanlı ay gecesinde sarpasarıyor. Floriane'nin erkek kardeşi Avcı Mezrasındaki en iyi avcılardan bir tanesi. Ve kanlı ay gecesinden önce ona planından bahsediyor. 'Vanpir Lordu'nu öldürmek'. O gece vampirler ve Vampir Lordu Karaltı'ndan geçeceği için herkes buna son derece katı şekilde hazırlanıyor. Floriane, birlikte bu mezradan kurtulma hayalleri ile yaşayan tek ikizini kaybetmeyi göze alamıyor ve kanlı ay gecesi savaşa giden kardeşinin peşinden gidiyor, yani Demirci Bakire'nin yasaklarından birisini eze eze çiğniyor. Herkesin kendine düşen rollerini üstlenmesi gereken Avcı Mezrası'ndaki Demirci Bakire'nin de görevleri var ve görev yerini terk edemez. Savaşmaya gidemez. Floriane ortaya gittiğinde kardeşinin bir vampir tarafından öldürüldüğünü görüyor. Ve o vampir 'Vanpir' Lordu Ruvan'ın ta kendisi. Ruvan ve Floriane karşı karşıya geliyorlar. Floriane onun kendisini öldüreceğini düşünse de öyle olmuyor… Vampir Lordu Floriane'i sarayına götürüyor. Ve Floriane o kana susamış, acımasız yaratıklar hakkında kendisine yıllardır eğitilmiş bilgilerden bambaşka bilgiler öğreniyor. Böylece soluksuz hikayemize adım atmış oluyoruz.
🌼 Vampir Lordu İle Düello'da evreni hatırladım ve bu sefer istediğim bağı karakterlerle kurdum. Floriane okuduğum güçlü karakterlerden birisiydi. Mantığı ve zekâsıyla konuşan bir kadındı. Ruvan'la aralarında yavaş yavaş oluşan o kimyasal enerjiyi de gözünüz kapalı hissedebiliyorsunuz. İkisinin arasındaki ilişkinin tadını çıkardım. Birbirlerine karşı yavaş yavaş filizlenen güvenleri iyi işlenmişti ve birbirlerine olan anlayışları çok güzeldi. Karakterlerin aralarındaki ilişki dinamiği kitapta en sevdiğim şeylerden biri oldu. Düşmandan aşka temasını bu kitapta Elisé Kova beklediğimden daha iyi işlemiş kesinlikle..🔥 Ve bu sayede ön yargım parçalandı. Kurgunun detaylı oluşu, hem kafamızda soru işaretleri evire çevire düşünmemizi sağlıyor hem de sizi biraz yoruyor. Ama bana kalırsa bu yorulmaya değecek bir kitaptı. Olay örgüsü doyurucuydu. Sanki bir film izliyormuşum gibi hissettim. Kitabın uzun oluşu gözünüzü korkutmasın. Düşündüğümden akıcıydı ve birinci kitaptan dolayı olan önyargımı da parçaladı. İyi ki Elisé Kova'ya bir şans daha vermişim, dedim..✨ Puanım: 7.5/10🧛🏻 Umarım yorumum size yardımcı olmuştur…💛 O zaman kendinize bakın, hoşçakalın!
<3
Hello friends! Today, I want to talk about Duel With the Vampire Lord by Elise Kova! This was the first book I read in 2025.
First, I had already read A Deal with the Elf King, but I was very busy at that time, so I read it in small parts. I understood the world, but I could not fully feel inside the story. I also could not connect with the characters as much as I wanted. The series felt incomplete to me.
A few months ago, I saw Duel With the Vampire Lord and Dance With the Fae Prince. After some research, I learned that these books can be read separately. The stories take place in different parts of the same world with different characters. So, I thought, this is a great chance! and started reading…✨
You don’t know me very well yet, but I love books, series, and movies about werewolves, vampires, and witches. 🥱 After reading The Serpent and the Night’s Wings from Carissa Broadbent, I was hoping that reading a book with vampires in it. So we can say that I missed vampire theme. 🧛🏻♀️🤌🏻👀 The third book’s story was more interesting to me than the second one. I also thought that maybe I did not like the first book because of my own situation at that time. And I was right…😏
The Story:
The book takes place in a village called Hunter’s Hamlet. The people here are hunters, and they must protect themselves from vampires.
Our main character, Floriane, is called the Iron Maiden. She makes weapons and hunting clothes for the hunters. She is not allowed to marry, and she cannot even choose her own husband. She and her mother must focus only on making weapons for the hunters. This kept like this for centuries so, she had to follow the rules.
But everything changes on Blood Moon Night. Floriane’s twin brother is one of the best hunters in the village. Before the Blood Moon, he tells her his plan: to kill the Vampire Lord.
That night, the Vampire Lord and his army will pass through the Shadows, so everyone prepares for war.
Floriane does not want to lose her only twin, so she breaks the rules and follows her brother to the battlefield. In Hunter’s Hamlet, everyone has a duty, and the Iron Maiden must stay in her place. She cannot go to war.
But when Floriane arrives, she sees her brother dying—killed by the Vampire Lord, Ruvan.
Floriane and Ruvan face each other. She thinks he will kill her too. But this does not happen. Instead, the Vampire Lord takes her to his castle.
There, Floriane learns new things about vampires—things that are completely different from what she believed. And so, our exciting story begins!
🌼
In Duel With the Vampire Lord, I finally connected with the story and characters.
Floriane is one of the strongest characters I have ever read. She is smart and logical.
The chemistry between her and Ruvan builds slowly, and you can feel it. I really enjoyed their relationship. Their trust for each other grows step by step. The way they understand each other is very beautiful.
The character relationships were one of my favorite parts of this book. Elise Kova wrote the enemies-to-lovers theme better than I expected.🔥
This book changed my opinion about her writing. The story has many details, so sometimes you have to think a lot, and it can be tiring. But in my opinion, it is worth it. The plot is very rich, and I felt like I was watching a movie.
The book is long, but don’t worry! It is more engaging than I expected, and it helped me forget my negative thoughts about the first book. I am happy that I gave Elise Kova another chance! ✨
My rating: 7.5/10 🧛🏻
I hope my review was helpful…💛 Take care and goodbye!
With love, Daisy<3

✩🩸🗡Review:
Elise Kova’s latest book in the Married to Magic series is fang-tastic!
“A Duel with the Vampire Lord” centers around Floriane, a forge maiden who is kidnapped by her worst enemy—the vampire lord Ruvan. In order to survive, she becomes his blood sworn. But the longer Floriane stays at Castle Tempost, the more she realizes that the vampires are not the monsters she thought they were.
Floriane is a strong female protagonist and compelling character. She finds great joy working beside her mother as a blacksmith. As someone who is not familiar with this line of work, I loved learning about how metal is forged into weapons and how much strain the body goes through during this process. To accurately portray smithing, Kova worked with an iron artist to make her own dagger, which makes this book extra special!
Due to the long hours Floriane spends in the smithy, she has an “untraditional” figure—one that is curvy and stout. The way she is described made me love her all the more because Floriane provides representation of women of different body types to readers.
Though she is self-conscious about her appearance at the beginning of the novel, comparing herself to other women in the town, those feelings go away the moment she realizes that Ruvan burns for her. Of the three books in the series, “A Duel with the Vampire Lord” has the best relationship development. Ruvan and Floriane naturally start off as enemies, but they are forced to put their differences aside in order to break the curse plaguing Ruvan’s people. Their attraction for each other heightens the more time they spend with each other until it reaches a fever pitch (arguably Kova’s spiciest scene to date). I absolutely love Ruvan and Floriane’s chemistry and the sacrifices that they made each other towards the end of the novel truly made me feel things.
Another aspect of the novel I appreciated is how Kova was able to create something new about vampires. In her world, blood is used to enhance magic rather than quench thirst. Their blood based magic system is both complex and unique, informing the reader of the vampire’s customs and abilities.
In past books, a majority of the time is spent in Midscape (Kova’s magical land). Kova switches it up in this novel, dividing the protagonist’s time between Midscape and Hunter’s Hamlet, Floriane’s home in the Natural World. I enjoyed getting the opportunity to learn about the social structure of Hunter’s Hamlet (complete with a Master Hunter, Hunters, a Forge Maiden, and farmers) while still being able to venture into the Vampir mountains.
I cannot wait to continue on in the Married to Magic series with “A Duet with the Siren Duke” next year! Fingers crossed that Ruvan and Floriane make a cameo!
➤ 4.25 stars

★ How was your reading this month? Did you discover any new favorites? I didn’t read as much as I typically do this month, and didn’t get to all of the books I wanted to, but that’s okay! Tomorrow I start my first day of grad school (MFA candidate, woot woot) and my first day teaching college English, so my month has been pretty devoted to that! I’m nervous, ready to get started, and looking forward to what the future brings. The one book at the top of my September reading list is @elise.kova’s A Duel with the Vampire Lord, the third book in Elise’s Married to Magic series! It just released a couple of weeks ago, and has been one of my most anticipated releases of the year. I love this series and am excited to continue in the world! Description: As the forge maiden of Hunter's Hamlet, Floriane wasn't supposed to be out on the night of the Blood Moon. But when her brother's in danger, she'll take up a silver sickle against the Vampire Lord himself. In Floriane, Ruvan sees a potential end to the centuries-long curse that's plagued his people. But first, she has to survive the monsters that lurk in his world of night. Bound in blood, the enemies become unlikely allies. Loyalties are tested and the lines between truth and lie, hate and passion, are blurred. Thank you Elise and @bookofmatchesmedia for the opportunity to read this one! ★ HASHTAGS // #EliseKova #ADealWithTheElfKing #ADanceWithTheFaePrince #ADuelWithTheVampireLord #MarriedToMagic #BOMMtours

Rating: 5/5
Book Blurb: On the night of the blood moon, the Vampire Lord must die. Floriane's position as the forge maiden of Hunter's Hamlet is one of reverence, for it is her skill that arms and protects the vampire hunters. She knows her place and is a faithful servant to the Master Hunter and her community... until the night of the blood moon. Until her brother is dying at the hands of the Vampire Lord Ruvan. Wanting to defend her home at all costs, Floriane fights the vampire lord, ready to give her life if it means taking his. But Ruvan doesn't want to take her life... he wants her. Kidnapped and brought to the vampire castle, Floriane is now blood sworn to the vampire lord. She is bound in mind and body to her worst enemy. But Ruvan isn't the fiend she thought he was. She learns the truth of the vampires: They are not mindless monsters, but a proud people, twisted and tortured by an ancient curse. Ruvan believes that Floriane might be the key to ending his people's suffering. All Floriane wants is to defend her home. Loyalties are tested and the lines between truth and lie, hate and passion, are blurred. When her dagger is at his chest, will she be able to take the heart of the man who has claimed hers? A darkly-reimagined Snow White meets inspiration from Beauty and the Beast in an epic fantasy world of hunters, vampires, and curses that run deeper than blood. This stand alone is complete with a "happily ever after" ending. It's perfect for fantasy romance fans looking for just the right amount of steam and their next slow-burn and swoon worthy, enemies to lovers story. While it is set in the Married to Magic universe, readers can start with this book
Review:
“I might be the forge maiden, but I am no delicate flower. I am as cold as silver. As strong as iron. I will bend for destiny, but not for any man.”
Hunters, vampires, an ancient curse, a blood oath, and a forbidden romance come together in this gorgeous darkly re-imagined Snow White meets Beauty and the Beast. Floraine is a forge maiden for the Hunter’s Hamlet, she was raised to make weapons for the hunters to hunt vampires, and her entire life has been spent listening to the wills of others and having no choice of her own, not even in who she can marry. Her only solace is her family, her mother who was a forge maiden before her and her brother who is a Hunter. But on the night of a blood moon she sees her brother dying at the hands of the Vampire Lord Ruvan and decides to do whatever it takes to protect her home... even taking a forbidden elixir and going head on with the vampire lord. However, Ruvan doesn’t want to kill her in fact he wants her. He kidnaps her and brings her back to the vampire castle and he explains his true motives: he needs a human’s help in breaking the curse placed on him and his people...a cursed they believe to have been placed on them by the hunters. Ruvan and Floraine make a bloodsworn oath: she will help break the curse and not harm him or those loyal to him and he will not harm her or even come back to the Hamlet in exchange. The more time she spends with Ruvan and his covenant the more she is realizing that everything she was taught to believe about them is not true, that they aren’t mindless creatures after blood... and that there is something much darker going on here. The more time she spends with Ruvan the more she begins to question the line between hatred and love and what is the truth and what is a lie. This was the perfect blend of enemies to lovers with slow burn romance and high stakes quest. Ruvan and Floraine have to honestly question their entire histories and beliefs of what they know, and face new emotions and feelings, they have to find the bond that is deeper than blood and truly see one another for who they are. Ruvan was honestly so swoon worthy, he’s kind, supportive, patient, and my all time favorite thing: CONSENT. He is constantly checking in on Floraine and asking her if she is okay with things and that is just perfection to me. So yes, this is definitely one of my favorites from the series ( though it can be read as a standalone but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL THE BOOKS) and I can’t wait to see what book Elise Kova writes next in this series!
*Thank you to Elise Kova for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

Reading Update and minor writing update
Greetings all!
Rest assured I am alive. Just came here to give some updates.
Not sure if anyone's noticed but I am a huge Elise Kova fan, I have read her entire back list. Last August she released book 3 of her Married to Magic Series, A Deal with the Vampire Lord.
This might just be my favorite book in the series. I found that I liked the plot and characters more than the first two books. I liked Floriane but in the earlier part of the book, when Ruvan first brings her to Midscape, it felt like it took her forever to accept that vampir had their own issues the entire time her own people had the vampir problem. As for Ruvan, he’s probably my favorite among the male leads in this series. He felt more complex compared to the Eldas and Davien, especially regarding his motivations in breaking the curse. In terms of romance, I consider it to be on par with book 2. I like it when they’re together and I think this is more on the Upper YA side. The blood sharing is hot, more than the steamy scenes in my opinion.
I really enjoyed this book and I’m very excited to see what happens in the next book.
I am currently reading,or rather re-reading, Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent, I've gotten a few discord friends on board and watching the emotional damage has been entertaining.
As for writer's side of things, I'm still in the midst of writing my new WIP, I'm on chapter 3 right now and once I have a decent amount of chapters I will begin posting. I'm also trying to get back into writing those monthly shorts I do except I'll try to make it less of a monthly thing and instead make it shorter but more frequent, I'm still figuring it out.
That's it for now. See you all soon!

Loyalties are tested and the lines between truth and lie, hate and passion, are blurred. *** #EliseKova #ADealWithTheElfKing #ADanceWithTheFaePrince #ADuelWithTheVampireLord #MarriedToMagic #BOMMtours #BOMMIndieAuthors #BookOfMatchesMedia #greekbookstagram #instavivlio #vivlio #diavazo #eucitesc #mybookfeatures #booknotes_athina #ipreview (at Bucharest, Romania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfHhcTVjhgp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

★ Elves, fae, vampires or merpeople? Eeek! It's VAMPIRE LORD day! Today I'm pleased to help reveal the cover of @elise.kova’s third Married to Magic book, A DUEL WITH THE VAMPIRE LORD. I love how fierce this cover is. Someone is definitely getting a knife to the throat and someone is definitely getting bitten. I've really enjoyed this world of standalone fantasy romances Elise has created, and you can read this one on August 18th! Short Description: (see comments for full description!) As the forge maiden of Hunter's Hamlet, Floriane wasn't supposed to be out on the night of the Blood Moon. But when her brother's in danger, she'll take up a silver sickle against the Vampire Lord himself. In Floriane, Ruvan sees a potential end to the centuries-long curse that's plagued his people. But first, she has to survive the monsters that lurk in his world of night. Bound in blood, the enemies become unlikely allies. Loyalties are tested and the lines between truth and lie, hate and passion, are blurred. ★★ GRAND PRIZE // Paperback ARC of A Duel With the Vampire Lord ★ TO ENTER // - Must be following me, @elise.kova and @bookofmatchesmedia - Like, comment, and save this post ★ EXTRA ENTRIES // - Share giveaway in story for 24hrs tagging @elise.kova and @bookofmatchesmedia - Tag 3 friends in a comment (up to ten times per post) - Search #ADuelWithTheVampireLordBOMMCoverReveaand enter the giveaway on the other posts every day through June 28th, for more chances to enter ★ RULES // - Giveaway ends June 28th, 2022 at midnight PST - Open US + Internationally - Not affiliated with Instagram - Must be 16+ or have parental permission to enter - Must be a public account to verify entries - Do not follow to unfollow later ★ HASHTAGS // #bookstagram #bookphotography #instareads #bookobsessed #booksbooksbooks #beautifulbooks #prettybooks #goodreads #bookhoarder #bookstack #bookhoarder #bibliophile #fantasybooks #booksofig #romantasy #fantasyromance #tbrcart #EliseKova #ADealWithTheElfKing #ADanceWithTheFaePrince #ADuelWithTheVampireLord #MarriedToMagic #BOMMtours #BOMMIndieAuthors #BookOfMatchesMedia https://www.instagram.com/p/CfHr_z5vHBw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
