Servant of the Blood (Everly Abbott Book 1) Kindle Edition

by K.N. Banet (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 2,261 ratings
I grew up with them, the creatures of the night, the blood suckers, the monsters.
The vampires.
I knew vampires before I could walk, not that I knew what they really were. I knew they weren’t really like me. They looked like me and they could act like me, but we were fundamentally different. I was human, just like my parents, and when I turned eighteen, I decided to work for the vampires after college, too. We had worked for their nest for over five generations and I wanted to continued that tradition.

But then, the master of the nest died. He’d practically raised me, my mother, my father, and everyone before us. He had looked at humans working for the nest as part of the nest. We were members of the family, even though we weren’t immortal or drank blood. He kept tight control and accidents were so rare I had never seen one happen.

The new master of the nest is not so kind or good at the job.

We need help. I need help. The new master is letting the vampires get out of control. Bodies are starting to pile up and even the other staff is at risk.

I’m Everly Abbott and I need a solution to this before more people get killed.
But the solution might be more dangerous than the problem.

The Everly Abbott series is a slow burn Urban Fantasy Romance series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Survival story with a distinctly realistic twist.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Banet delivers grit like few other authors out there. For a story that is distinctively urban fantasy, she incorporates some very real and heavy hitting themes. Everly’s relationship with her master feels as if it’s eerily based on a textbook case of classic domestic abuse, with him twisting her to silence and into aiding the depravity in an attempt to keep her loved ones alive. Reading her story is like listening to battered women describe why they couldn’t leave, because they were trying to keep their pets, children, younger siblings and vulnerable friends alive. The pathology of the abuser and the deep desperation to escape are all captured, albeit skinned in a vampire story. Through it, we see Everly get forged through the fire of horrific experiences into a raw blade of a woman. I really hope this series continues, because I want to see how she grows and finds her strength in the days to come.

    I’d also like to say just how wonderful it was to have a rare female character who builds computers. Banet skips the gamer girl sex kitten tropes and dives right into a believable character, fully fleshed with idiosyncrasies, flaws, weaknesses, and yet a deep and true sense of loyalty. Everly’s anxiety disorder is an essential part of each decision she makes, which both highlights why she doesn’t see some things and just how incredibly powerful she really is to make the choices she does despite her flaws. She doesn’t understand people, and so she makes mistakes with handling people that are true to character, despite her loyalty and inherently good nature. The character building in this book is really thoughtfully done.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good
    Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    Everly has worked for the vampires since she graduated college. She’s been a part of the nest her whole life, but since the old leader died everything has changed.
    Suddenly, Everly is faced with a danger she had never thought of, and it will take as much ingenuity as possibly to survive it all.

    This is the first book in the series, so while it doesn’t exactly end on a cliffhanger, it does have a great big unfinished plot line.
    Everly is a computer geek, whose traumatic introduction to the horror that vampires can commit, leaves her struggling in fear.
    She works hard to try and keep her co-workers safe, but it leaves her alone, with very little recourse.

    We do meet an intriguing vampire, Alexius, about whom we know very little even by the end of the book, and about whom several very interesting questions arise, but I don’t want to say too much because it’s far more fun to read it!

    This is an interesting paranormal/urban fantasy book, with absorbing characters and an engaging plot-line. While the first part of the book is quite dark, leaving the reader to feel the hopelessness of the situation that Everly experiences, the second half takes off and brings it all to a satisfying, if incomplete conclusion.
    That’s not a bad thing, it just means that the reader will be dying to know what’s going to happen next!
    There is very little romance in this book, which makes sense when taken in context, so be ready for that too.

    If you enjoy urban fantasy, or paranormal fantasy (ongoing plot line, slow burn or no romance) then you will like this book!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another interesting new series from Banet
    Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    This is, to my knowledge, the third series in the Tribunal series. My favorite series still is Jacky Leon but this book might end up being my favorite or at least a close second. This book centers around Everly who, with other humans including her mother is employed by vampires to protect their secrets and their nest. However, a change in master of the nest has created unrest and while the humans once felt safe they no longer feel so. Trauma, murder, deceit and vengeance are some key themes of the book.

    What I enjoyed about the book is that Everyly is a different kind of fighter. She doesn't start out as a supernatural with abilities that come with that which is a nice change of pace. We get characters that we just hate because of what they do and horrors they subject others too. Everly for a good part of it has to figure things out alone and covering for how her mother actually died. This is what didn't really make sense to me because with all that was going on, with the vampires killing on the regular and new psycho master and his lover, surely you would know that foul play was involved even without her admitting it?

    Before actions can be taken against this now chaotic nest, proof is needed of their wrongdoings. The person able to act on that and carry out "justice" is Alexius. He is a very old vampire known to the vampires as someone to be feared. He was also the father to the former master of the nest. Everly works with him to provide proof of what's been going on so he can take care of the nest while also finding out what really happened to his son.

    Alexius and Everly work well together and it will be interesting to see how their relationship develops. The author has planned for 9 books in the series so it seems we will have plenty of time to get to know them.

    Even if you are new to Banet or have read other series of her Tribunal books this book will be a good read of the genre.

    I remember taking a while to get into the first Jacky and Kaliya books. So I kept reading this one when I normally would have just stopped. I don’t know why but I really never got into it. Everly is okay. It just felt really dragged out, especially the first half of the book. I’ll read the second and hope it sucks me in.

    Loved it ❤ Hooked and drawn in from page 1. This dark supernatural drama is focused on the Vampires nest and it's human household. A new Master is now in control of the nest bringing death and destruction. Everly then tasks herself with saving those human staff who are left. Everly as the lead is a strong character I can get behind. Can't wait for book 2 in this wonderful series.
