I'm a massive fan of the vampire genre--frankly, I love the angst and the torture the characters go through. Most tales are told from the male aspect, so it was great for me to get my hands on Katrina--The Beginning. Elizabeth Loraine has done something that grabbed me from page 1--the entire tale being told from the eyes of 17-yer old Katrina. Katrina, beautiful princess that she is, lives in a vampiric world of luxury. As with all tales of the undead, there are humans that seek out vampires for elimination.
I love a strong heroine and Katrina is just that, strong and wise beyond her years. Despite living in the lap of luxury, she is strong willed and doesn't have the suspected whiney angst that most royalty would demonstrate when their world is compromised. The action is thrilling, the storyline is haunting, and the minor characters of her fellow princesses are often humorous, delightful, and highly believable (despite their vampire disposition). This is There's a fairy tale quality to Katrina's story, and I can't wait to read the continuation of the thrilling Royal Blood Chronicles.

This is a page turning adventure told by a gorgeous seventeen-year-old vampire on the verge of womanhood. Katrina and her companions are girls who love fancy clothes and romatic gossip; but when their race is threatened, they become Women Warriors. Using their paranoral talents, lightning speed and razor-sharp blades to wreak deadly justice. It's funny, tense, romantic and sometimes sad. A great read for fans of bloodlust with strong female leads and a beautiful descriptive writing style.

Royal Blood of Vampires
Sep 23 2012
By Anne Nelson

I'd like to thank Author Elizabeth Loraine for the wonderful "GIFT" of her novel Katrina, The Beginning (Royal Blood Chronicles)!! I've been lucky enough lately to be able to finally get hold of some of the books that have been on my TBR or wish list through some amazing authors. KATRINA being one of them, now to follow is my fair and unbiased opinion after reading Katrina.
Katrina is being told from the POV of a young seventeen year old royal vampire, of course her name is "Katrina" as the title of the book represents.
Taking place in the 1800's, an era by the way that I absolutely loved in history.. The elegant fashions, old school manners, (so lacking now a days) and the many huge grand social balls or events that always seem to take place in the upper circle. And with her family being of royal blood, comes one of the luxuries of having you own staff/servants who tend to their every wish or need. (although their staff was treated like family)
Katrina and her family also have "Watchers" who keep them safe and trained them expertly in the arts of battle.
The Vox Brothers, seven in all were very loyal and trust worthy... Avery, Cedrik, Gregor, Gunter, Simon, Thomas and Quinn. (Unfortunately Cedrik and Gregor were killed in battle)
Katrina face sadness, love, (first time) adventure and enemies all within this great book. She knows that she has a purpose in life, and therefore she knows she must do everything possible to strengthen herself physically as well as her gifts. (Gunter helps her achieve this as her trainer) Gunter also help train Katrina's friends/companions Letta, Rosa and El.
The daily routine of her life, from bathing , feedings all the way to her training was such a new take in some ways. Oh what I would give to have a helper, and yes a trainer.. That would be fantastic!
I really enjoyed the storyline of Katrina where her you have a young teenager by all appearances and class is the sweet innocence that a teenager should be, but by no means is she.. Katrina is a WELL trained warrior with her vampire speed and a mastery of her weapons.. *takes a wide birth around Katrina* A strong warrior that I for one wouldn't want as my enemy!!
If you are looking for a wonderful book that is full of a mixture of romance, love and a dark side twist.. Then I recommend Katrina, The Beginning to be a awesome introduction to the Royal Blood Chronicles.
Well done Elizabeth Lorraine for this great first book in the Royal Blood Chronicles!!!

Great New Series - Mother, Daughter Sharing Books
Jan 31 2011
By PJ Zeller
- Published on Amazon.com
This is not the the run of the mill Vampire Series. I was suprised and gratified to find no female victims cowering in the corner, awaiting rescue. The main characters are four teenage girls called by destiny to join with Katrin (another teenager) the main character of the Royal Blook Chronicle series. These 5 girls fulfill the "prophesy" to stand against the evil in the world and to protect all races from harm. Loraine has crafted her characters to be interesting, not just beautiful. They are stong, educated, and trained in self defens (no victiums here) Ms. Loraine creates a Vampire World unlike any other and brings the characters forward from the Old World of the 1860s to the America's in a historical, adventure filled tale full of love and life. This is your introduction into the World of "Royal Blood Chronicles". Buy this one and the next together (The Protectors - Book 2) because you will want to continue reading without a break. Loved this book.
