My mind is absolutely blown. I went into this with very low expectations - as I do with all hyped books. I didn't want to get my hopes up in a book that had been advertised as a steamy fantasy romance. Which lately when you see those labels on books, it means very little to the plot and world building and more focus on the s*x and romance. 

However, was VERY surprised. While the romance and tension was there this was a slow burn with world building and plot at the forefront. I really enjoyed the characters, the trials, and my god that ending blew me out of the water.

Book 2 here I come!

Ooh what a fantastic book.
First of all, the female character isn't underage!!! She is a human competing in a vampire tournament, but at least she's old enough to drink. 
This book has revenge, plots, twists, sword fights, love, family, and sorrow. 
I enjoyed how each of the characters is different and each has hidden bits that slowly get revealed.
Nothing is ever straight up told, but presented in a lovely way.
I throughly enjoyed the writing style!
And I have already checked our book two, I enjoyed it that much.
