The Dangerous Ones is a romantasy set in the historical setting of America's Civil War. There's vampires and saints who have the power to kill them. But are all vampires bad?
Jerusalem and her whole family were enslaved by the vampires. They are brutal, and it's her mission to take revenge. She fights for the North States. To do this, though, she has to train with a vampire, Alexei. Alexei has a history, too, and Jerusalem hates vampires. How does their story progress?
I appreciated the cw and tw that the author included on the first page. The plot and the premise are what attracted me to this book. However, unfortunately, this book fell flat for me. Personally, I think for me, the main character's dialogues didn't work. It was choppy, and keeping track of all the happenings was not easy at all. But again, every book is not for every reader, so these are all my opinions.
Thank you, Wednesday Books and St. Martin's Press for this book.

Loved the main characters - no bullshit and full of sass! Great chemistry.
The story was full of heartache, brutality, love, and humour. A great mixture of everything.
It took me about 1/3 through the book to really get sucked into the plot, then I loved it.

Not a bad listen, but I just did not get into the love interest that centers around the story. If you like historical fantasy (which tbh I don’t gravitate to), then you may like this!
I stopped reading this book at 48% because I found the FMC to be insufferable. I feel it’s a shame I wasted the $12 I spent on this book.

I binge-read this one. It was ubputdownable for me. I loved the story telling, the characters voices shown through so beautifully. I really liked the fantasy twist on the civil war and making slave owners the true monsters they were by portraying them as vampires. I thought the main characters balanced each other beautifully and challenged each other to be better. This is a story I will be thinking about for a long time.
"Keep asking...keep fighting. Your stubbornness to accept your fate is why you're still alive."
I can't really find the right words to describe this book, other than powerful.
"Evil don't have to be outright to still be evil."
It it's an emotional historical fantasy story, set during the Civil War. The story explores the horrors of slavery, with some of the characters being demigods and others being vampires.
Heartbreaking, inspiring, romantic are three words I'd use to describe this novel and I definitely recommend it!
I listened to this book on Audible and loved the narrators for both Alexei and Jerusalem!
