Emily Bex is the International Bestselling Author of the epic six book Medici Warrior Series. As she says, “Why start small?” She worked for over twenty years in marketing, developing ad campaigns, catalogs, product launches and promotional literature. She figured if she could write creatively about products, then surely she could write something about these characters that were rattling around inside her brain. The Medici Warrior Series is paranormal romance, or as she calls it, pure escapism. She currently lives in Virginia, but has used her extensive love of travel, both foreign and domestic, to create the backdrop for her characters to play out their story.

    Lorenzo’s Rising KU & $4.99, 726 pgs ***** 6/13/24 The Medici Family

    This book starts when Lorenzo turns 10 years old. The age that Medici children go to live in Florence, Italy for warrior training at Castello. Natalia had been born between book 4 and this one and is 4 years old. Sophia is now 6 years old. So, there were now 3 Medici children of Shade and Kate’s, 4 counting Cory.
    I love reading about them as children and then adults making their own lives or at least trying to with Shade trying to control them the way he wants their lives to be lived.

    Lorenzo, what can I say, broke my heart to see him left by his family at Castello at 10 years old. I just can’t imagine. I loved every minute of his training but again could not imagine a 10-year-old being put through all of the things he had to go through. He was a strong boy, kind, intelligent, much, much older in his actions and thinking. He was so dedicated to learning to become as his father is and in becoming a warrior and Prince that had earned his place as a future brother, King, and protector.

    Donatella…the wench, plays havoc with both Lorenzo and Alfie, pushing them to do things they should have never been pushed into at their young ages. She was always popping in and giving gifts, of course with her own selfish hidden agenda and motives. She was able to manipulate the adult warriors, even Shade, into thinking she was only taking care of Lorenzo while he was alone without family. I think Kate, somewhere in the back of her mind, knew something wasn’t right with any of that but Shade always talked her down and said she was just being nice and neighborly. I have a feeling she is going to be major trouble!

    Sophia is desperately still in love with Alfie, since she was 4 years old. Natalia learns her fate for her life. Shade seems to be becoming his own father in trying to control the girls adult lives, which does not go well at all with Sophia. Kate tries to intervene and stabilize emotions but doesn’t have much luck. Shade reveals, he has kept a secret all his life that no one knows about, but the Council because everything about every vampire is written there. Shade is determined to keep this secret forever.

    The last half of the book is so action packed, I couldn’t take my eyes off a single word. So much happens and now that I have finished this book, I don’t want to read the last one because that will be the end of the series that has become one of my favorite series of all time. I am in awe, in love, and in total fantasy land with the writing of this series by Emily Bex. Damn that girl can write!

    I had the book's release in my calendar; ensuring I wouldn't miss a moment to fill my need to experience the continuation of the Medici world. I beg that there not be another excruciating, long-lasting drought before book 6. It is rare for an author to have such precise consistency as they move through a series that contains so many tangential storylines. There isn't one stale character, and each step, or misstep, a character takes adds depth, while avoiding the often made error many authors make of becoming trite. When Emily drops a whiff of a portent it is never forgotten, and, in my opinion, she is exemplary in their use. I found myself giggling at the irony of Sophia, who demands center stage at all times, has seemingly been relegated to a secondary/supporting role. I'm eager to follow Ivory as she helps her society join modernity, and expect her being born from the powerful Medici line was no mistake as their might and prowess will be integral to insuring the Third Council's edicts and direction are carried out. Master in name only Canton is sure to take much issue with Shade's new territory acquisition, and I foresee his already bruised ego will get the best (or worst) of him. I am so excited for book 7!! Please don't make us wait too long. I am mortal, so my years are limited. ;)

    Amazing story with characters that really come to life. A must read for anyone that loves paranormal romance books and is destined to become a classic. The author is a master storyteller putting so many twists and turns in the story that the reader feels a full array of emotions while reading and needing to turn the next page because you can’t predict where the story is going and what will happen next. She makes the characters come to life. I absolutely loved Princess Sophia and her pet chicken Poppy. Many laugh out load moments when the two are together. I can’t wait for book 6; I’m ready to preorder today.
    The whole series is definitely worth the investment of time to take the journey into the world of the Medici. Thick book with tons of details. You won’t be disappointed.

    I’m still blowing my nose from crying so much reading through the ending. I did not see that coming. Each book is almost like a small series itself. There were so many surprises in this book that I never ever would have imagined, in fact I’m still stunned by the ending. I can’t wait to begin the last book. I read about 300 books a year according to kindle, and have for years. This series is in my top three of every series I’ve read, and that is a vast number. I definitely recommend this book and series to absolutely everyone!!!

    Emily's writing pulls the reader in to her amazing world with every word. The characters have such personalities, good and bad, that pull you ever closer with each page. I have to admit Princess Sophia, oh my word, had me laughing out loud, gasping and knowing if I EVER had a child, this would be my fate in life. (And now know to NEVER have chickens around said child!) Queen Kate, you are the strongest woman/vampire there is!!! As with all the books in the Medici Warrior Series, Emily brings you through centuries of history, painting such vivid images for the reader. The twists and turns keep you on the edge. You'll cry, shout, gasp and of course fall deeper in love with each and every character. If you haven't started the series, ITS A MUST!!! Counting the days till the sixth but sadly the final book of the Medici Warriors.
