Such a good story! You are captivated by the storytelling that you don't even realize that you're finding the book so fast!! Definitely sat and stared at a wall when I finished to take it all in.

one thing about me is i am an absolute SLUT for fantasy romances... this was no exception
it picked up so much in the second half of the book i am obsessed with oraya and raihn's dynamic... the forced proximity was so good and i just know the next book is going to slay too

Rating: 4.5/5 stars

Oraya, the adopted daughter of the Nightborn Vampire King, enters a bloody competition in a quest to earn the power to survive in a deadly society.

I’ll be honest, I totally failed the buddy read this time around—mostly because I got too caught up in a different series. I also had a bit of a struggle getting into this one for some reason…it wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t clicking for me.

Fortunately, by the time I got about halfway through, this absolutely clicked. I was super entertained for the entire second half, and ultimately stayed up until absurd hours to finish reading because I just needed to know what happened. Some of the final reveals felt a bit predictable, but I still really enjoyed them, loved the relationship between Raihn and Oraya, and can’t wait to see where this goes in book 2!

CW: Violence (including sexual violence), blood/injury; torture; death (including death of children and death of parent)

The ending?!?? Oh. My. God. Not sure if the ending was brilliant or ruined everything?!?? 
This book was awesome. Like TRULY awesome. I recommend it to EVERYONE who loves romantasy (just as much as me). 
This is one of these few books you read, that seem like they change the way you see the world.
