A fast read if you like a low key dark romance. Between the acts, information is recapped frequently which did get bothersome, but was easy to skim past since each act is basically its own novel. The spicy scenes are good, just wish the plot was a little less rushed at the end!

POV: Single - Mina

Unfortunately I did not enjoy this one 😔. Essentially this whole book was just page after page of vampire smut. Essentially this was 80% smut 20% plot at best. But if Katee Robert knows one thing it is definitely writing some good smut.

A paranormal reverse harem romance combining all three novellas in the Bloodline Vampire series. This in turn lead to quite a bit of repetition when we moved through the three acts.

Mina is a dhampir, meaning she is half human, half vampire with no magic of her own. She is a complete disgrace to her Father and as such she is sent away by her to live with Malachi Zion, a bloodline vampire, and produce an heir to his slowly dwindling bloodline.

Shortly after Wolf and Rylan, two more bloodline vampires enter the mix and Mina becomes their everything. Their new mission is to take down Mina’s power hungry Father, impregnate her and crown her the Queen.

This novel is steamy don’t get me wrong. Robert knows how to write some awesome smutty scenes but that is all it really was for me. The little plot that was woven through this felt wayyy too farfetched for me and I just couldn’t get passed that. I found myself skimming paragraphs and that isn’t something I normally do.
