Review: Heir Undisputed by Hannah James

5 / 5 Stars!

Book 2 is just as good as book 1!

Definitely read Heir Undeniable first, as this book picks up immediately after book 1.

We follow along with Jonathan and Christina as their relationship evolves. They’re so caught up in each other and in love, but still live their lives both separate and together.

They face some major normal life challenges, a long with supernatural ones. We get to delve deeper in to the past, the vampire world, and how things ended up where they are.

I’ll be honest, I got frustrated at first, because there were a lot of chapters sprinkled in that shared Jonathan’s past. While I loved learning about it, I also was eager to move along in the story. However, those glimpses really show how he’s grown as a person (vampire, whatever). I’m guessing it’s also a bit of foreshadowing at how things might develop, but we’ll see.

Also, I just want to applaud the author for characters’ consistent consent, working through of toxic behaviors and owning up to what they do wrong.

I am lost in this world and I cannot wait for the next book!

Book blurb from Amazon:

Relationships can be tricky. Even more so when the person you’re with is unlike anyone else you have ever dated before.

Jonathan is everything I’m not. He speaks more languages than I can count, he has an apartment in every major city, he has more money than I know what to do with.
And he’s over 800 years older than me. And he’s the vampire crown prince.
Needless to say I find myself in unknown waters.
To top it all off, there are things on the horizon that will push both Jonathan and me to our absolute limits. Neither of us are used to relying on others, but sometimes you have no choice, and it might as well be the person you trust with your deepest secrets.
The question is, am I strong enough to deal with the darkness that is creeping up on us? Is our relationship?

***

In all the time I’ve been alive, I have never been happier than I am now. After centuries of trading fleeting connections for loneliness, I finally found the one whom my soul was meant to love.
To be on the receiving end of Christina’s unconditional love was a gift I never dreamt would someday be mine, and I was determined to do everything in my power to keep it. Even though I still thought myself undeserving.

Yet, it gave us no reprieve from a companion that I knew all too well: Death.
Will I be able to hold onto this new-found happiness? Or will encroaching danger rip it from my arms?

I fully enjoyed this book! It’s like Twilight and Fifty Shades had a baby (with better writing), mentioned so many of my favorite pop culture references, and kept me reading for more!

Christina Miller is your average grad student who works at a horror escape room, lives with her mother who she’s super close too, and keeps busy scraping to get by. She is feisty and smart, though not super confident.

Jonathan Langdon is a rich, worldly, and a several hundred-year-old vampire. He has such old-world charm and manners, all the while thinking like an adult with dirty thoughts.

This book is such a compelling mix! There’s so much innocence at the beginning with the burgeoning romance. Yet, there’s action, violence, and hunting. Plus, there’s spice! Jonathan is all about taking things slow with Christina, but his thoughts are explicit, and the spice is wonderful!

I fully love every single character in this book too. Jonathan is super close to his family, while Christina and her mom have a Gilmore Girls-ish relationship. The banter everywhere is witty and kept me laughing. All the while, the world building continues as we learn about the darker side to the vampire world.

I cannot wait to read the next book, which just came out. In fact, I’m going to do that right now!

Blurb from Goodreads:

You know how people always say everyone is special in their own way? Right. Everyone but me.
I’ve always been completely ordinary and perfectly plain. Even my name is boring: Christina Miller. Nothing sets me apart, and all I have is my mom, a mountain of debt, and a job at an escape room. On my first day as manager, the whole thing seems to be coming down around me.
Until a mysterious stranger offers his help. But underneath his calm, polite exterior lies a heart familiar with darkness and death, and I’m faced with a decision that only I can make: Do I accept that side of him, or lose all of him?

I’ve never wanted nor needed anyone.
Until I met her. Until the fire in her soul sparked something in mine that I thought I lost a long time ago.
Yet, I can never tell her who I am. What I am.
I am Jonathan Langdon, and I am the great-grandson and the only known living male descendant of the First Ever Vampire, Ambrogio, cursed to a life eternal by the sun-god Apollo. And I’ve always felt that way, cursed, until she looked in my eyes and saw my soul.
But what would she do if she ever learned the truth? Will she run, or will she stand up and embrace the Night?
When my enemy gets a little too close, we may just find out… Whether I want to or not.
