In the shadows of the night, there exists a band of warriors--a group of vampires, known as the Alpha Council. Their formidable leader, Stephan von Haas, has vowed to protect not only his kind but the humans existing alongside them. His duty comes before all else--until a sassy blonde saunters into his life.
When a sensual, dark-haired stranger walks into Katrina Spencer's life, he stirs her deepest desires and sweeps her into a world beyond her wildest dreams. But when Katrina is targeted by Stephan's enemies, reality shifts into something violent and deadly, as she is thrust into a realm where vampires stalk the shadows and vengeance is coming for her.
Together they will confront an extraordinary destiny of peril, passion, and dark pleasures. But when one horrid mistake brings retribution, their love may pay the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait to see where this series goes!
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2013

Brenda Sparks has created a new vampire world for lovers of the paranormal to get lost in! Her characters come to life and you are rooting for the "good guys" while loving to hate the "bad guys" and bad girls. ;-) It is exciting that this book is the first in the Alpha Council Chronicles, so we will get to (hopefully) learn more about some of the characters introduced in this book. As an opening to a series, it has it all--romance, adventure, tragedy, laughs and chills. Ms. Sparks is a talented writer. Her other works on Amazon are worth checking out as well, if you haven't already done so. You won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Promising Beginning to a Good Vampire Romance Series
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2014
Verified Purchase
I didn't give a full 5 stars because of two reasons. First, the book didn't pull me in enough to have to read it in one day like I usually do when it's an incredible read, but it was good. The second reason was because some of the language threw me off and made me stop to think that a modern vegas girl character wouldn't use terms like "retrieve" when she could just say "get back." The older vampires could talk like that but Kat should be using more normal and comfortable terminology. That said, the book definitely deserved a full 4 stars because it was a nice length with a well developed plot and a good array of characters. The ackground stories for the group of alpha vampires made me immediately look for the next book after I finished this one, so I hope it will come out soon. I'm very interested to find out if the others will find their "heartmates." This series reminds me a little of Tessa Dawns's Blood Destiny series. Both have good and bad powerful vampires with different twists of soul mates and hot sex scenes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent mix of vampiric romance and action
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2013
Verified Purchase
There is so much to enjoy about Alpha Mine, it's hard to know where to begin.

First and foremost, this is a solid vampire novel with plenty of action as two groups of vampires are at loggerheads over how humans should be viewed and treated.

Interspersed with this is a love story that not only steams up the pages but will make you go, "Awwwwww!" as you read about the head vampire, Stephan, wooing his heartmate.

Last but not least is the cast of characters and Brenda Sparks shines as she creates unique personalities for each. Most notable are the three main characters - Marcus is a flippant jokester though loyal to the end; Stephan is the no-nonsense, level-headed, battle-ready Alpha vampire but peel away the gruff exterior and there is a layer of tenderness and love just waiting to be found; and Kat, the object of Stephan's desire, a strong woman able to keep the Alpha in check.

In all, it was a great book and has me wanting more from the Alpha Council Chronicles!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dangerously sexy read!
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2014

Alpha Mine was a delicious mix of danger...suspense...and sexy vampires. The story delivered on a few fresh ideas that kept it interesting from the beginning. I loved how Marcus and Kat became friends after Marcus saved her from a viscous attack. Then as they were having a fun night Stephan drops in. From the first encounter he was drawn to Kat. Stephan is a warrior and part of an elite group that polices the vampire community. With evil brewing in Vegas Stephan and Marcus are on a mission to stop a hunt party. Kat gets caught up in the middle of it all. Through all of it Stephan finds Kat to be his heartbeats. Their story was beautifully written and the characters are so engaging. Very enjoyable story. Highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars likable interesting characters
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2014
Verified Purchase
For the most part I enjoyed reading this story. I found the hero, Stephan and the heroine Kat likable as well as Marcus the roommate and friend of Kat's and Nicholas. Only a few parts of the story dragged for me, which I would skim over, mainly involving the villains. The romance was solid. If Stephan was a little more jealous and possessive I could have recommended this book to one of the Amazon threads I belong to, the over the top jealous possessive hero thread. However, he was not jealous enough of the fact that Kat sleep with Marcus periodically and lived with him. He would have had a more of a reaction to the friends with benefits arrangement that occurred in the recent past, especially when Kat was still very close to Marcus; he was her best friend. Marcus still had a sexual reaction to her and vice versa but it did not bother Stephan overly much. For awhile because of what was happening, I thought it was going to turn into a menage with Kat, Stephan and Marcus. I was glad that it didn't. I am interested in reading the next book in the series if it is about Nicholas as I thought he was the most interesting and charismatic character.

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2014

Don't get me wrong there are some good parts in this book, but mostly it was tedious and too drawn out. the fight scenes are particularly intense, but I found the romance stilted and redundant. I think also some aspects should have been changed....like Kat having an affair with Marcus before she meets Stephan...for me that took away some of her integrity, because in essence she is sleeping with friends. I also had a problem with what happened to Andrea. granted she was evil, but that still didn't make what happened to her any easier to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dynamic!
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2013
Verified Purchase
I call this story dynamic for three main reasons: the suspense, the love story, and the characters which the author masterfully pulled together. I thought the drama in this book was original and well-constructed. Pitting very competent vampires against each other created a strong and believable conflict that kept me on the edge of my seat.

The love story was hot, romantic, impossible, heartbreaking, sweet, everything it should be. I definitely rooted for this couple to end up together.

My big thing - I can't say enough about the characters in this book. They LIT UP the pages in a fresh, fun way. And it wasn't only the three main characters, but the two main villains were just as enjoyable to read about. A wonderful story by a great author. Suspense abound, romance reigns on this fun and delightful journey. I recommend it to any vampire lover!

The story started off really good, but then I lost interest in it as I felt it needed more depth I felt it was rushed in chapters and I lost track of the story, it would have been brilliant if the author gave more detail to the story about human hunts etc. it was ok but not brilliant....
