I received an ALC/ARC of this book and following is my honest review. 

A Bargain So Bloody is a well executed Dark Fantasy Romance. Please note, this is not a Romantasy. It is appropriately labeled as a Dark Fantasy Romance, with the romance potential kindling in book 1 and only a subplot. We have vampires, witches, humans, and other monsters. The FMC is human and the MMC is Vampire. We have enemies to an alliance (this is a slow burn). We have political intrigue and unique magic. From beginning to end, we have a well paced story leaving no room for dull/slow moments. The writing is mature. The twists were done well and not easily predictable. THE EPILOGUE! I especially appreciated the balance of the world building and character building. I didnt feel like I was missing anything given the length of the book. 

If any of these things intrigue you, I highly suggest you read this book. I eagerly look forward to book 2.
