Before I begin my tour stop for this fantastic novel, I want to thank the author, Josie, for sending a copy for me to review. I love her Sovereign series and I am so looking forward to reading other books written by her. She is not only a fantastic author but wonderful person to know as well. Be sure to follow the tour and check out all of these other fantastic stops too!
My review for the second book, The Silver Queen can be found here. If you have still not realised how great this series is and have yet to read the first book, you can find my review here. Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s get on with it!!

Disclaimer: I received an e-copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion and review.
The sovereigns of the Silver have awakened, but the Queen is a fractured shell of the woman Cam remembers. He hopes to put her back together by finding her son, the missing prince. At least, that’s what he tells his friends when he leaves for the Red.
Back in the Blue, Julia’s old tormentor Rufus is hounding her at every turn. She’s sick of feeling powerless, but she has a plan that will bring the Nobles to their knees.
All she needs is blood.
The Blood Prince is the final book in Josie Jaffrey’s Sovereign trilogy, set in a dystopian Europe where vampiric Nobles control the last remnants of the human race.
That opening line alone has my attention! That is what we call a hook and boy oh boy did she hook me! This is one series you do not want to miss out on, you better be on Amazon buying your copies right now! Go…just do it.
Review
This is the third book in Josie’s Sovereign series and it can not be read as a stand-alone novel. I once again will say, if you are looking for a more adult vampire novel but not one that turns into a smutty romance…this is the one for you, the entire series is actually!
It’s hard for me to review this novel when I enjoyed it so much. I sat for a while with a blank screen in front of me, unsure of what to write other than “This book is really good, go read it.” That being said, I apologize if my review is incoherent.
The third book in this series is packed with action. I couldn’t put the book down, well I could I just hated to do it. Especially because there was so much going on that I never knew what was going to happen next. I never felt bored, each time the story began to slow something else was thrown in that made you perk right back up.
As with the other two books, the story is told from dual POVs (point of view). We see Julia and Cam but eventually, their stories entwine and it is a great thing to see. This third installment really is a wonderful conclusion to the series and it ties all of the loose ends up nicely.
I absolutely love these characters! Complex and relatable…perfect! Well…not perfect but I love them the same. I’m sad to see this series come to an end.
Julia: She is the perfect example of a strong female character! She knows what must be done and nothing will get in her way. Even when things seem to fall apart around her, she finds a way to push on and make her plan work. I really love seeing her interactions between other characters and how she changes throughout the story. I did question her motives at times, wondering why she would…with…nevermind. I’d give too much away. You’ll have to read the book! Just keep your faith in her.
Cam: Silver, but not typical. Cam is unique in his own way. He has one goal in mind, to help his friend, Emmy/the Queen, find her long lost child. He might have just found something that he wasn’t looking for but welcomes just the same. Cam is strong but not in the sense that he is a jerk. He is compassionate, caring about everyone around him. Wanting to do things for the greater good. I really enjoyed his character.
Rufus: Ugh, I still dislike him. He is rude and assumes he knows what people want. He asserts his dominance whenever possible and just…I’m not sure. He just isn’t my favorite.
Lucas: Oh my, I love me some Lucas. If someone who has more talent than myself can get working on some fan art, that would be fantastic! He is sweet and handsome. I love that we learn so much more about him in this book, though he and Julia were not as close to the first part of this novel. He really is just…ok, I’m fangirling now. He is dreamy, we will leave it at that. Yes, I am ok that he is silver…I’d be his as Julia is.
Felix: He is someone who was introduced during the last book. I am so happy we were able to see more of him here. I enjoyed his character but at times I was not sure if I could trust him. I suppose that was intentional because Cam went through the same emotions I did. Overall, I really like Felix.
The King and Queen: I really don’t have much to say about them. We see small sections where they are present but they just don’t stay with me as much as the other characters do.
Once again, I love this world! That is why I am so excited to read the Solis Invicti series as well, it takes place in the same world. The imagery is stunning and I really feel the emotions, picture the surroundings, live the story alongside the characters. Josie really has built an amazing world with an entirely new race of beings, more than one to be exact. We still see silver Nobles, Weepers, etc.
The world is incredibly well thought out and detailed. It feels real…like nothing is missing, except me of course because how cool would it be to live there?!! Despite the Weepers and Nobles, I’d still give it a shot.
I really loved this series and I am sad to see it end but happy to have been a part of it. This is a fantastic series with such in-depth, well thought out characters that live in a beautifully dangerous world. With addictive writing and compelling plot twists, The Blood Prince is a perfect conclusion to the Sovereign series.
