A Bargain So Bloody by Vasilisa Drake

5.0

adventurous dark emotional sad tense

---

I’m not usually a vampire girlie but I found this story to be engaging, funny, and easy to read. I loved how trust grew between Samara and Raphael, ultimately leading to a deeper connection beyond what the rest of the vampire kingdom perceived. I thought the magic system was super interesting and unique and really added to the world-building components the author laid out in this first installment of this series. I’m a sucker for a morally grey & possessive MMC so I was a big fan of Raphael’s “touch her and die” attitude toward anyone who came near Sam as their relationship grew. Not a fan of when the spice gets interrupted 😂 but I understand why things were laid out the way they were in this first book. I saw one of the twists coming but was VERY surprised by some of the other surprise elements, including that cliffhanger ending! I absolutely cannot wait for book 2 🤩


Infinitely grateful to Vasilisa Drake for entrusting me with an advanced copy of this wonderful story in exchange for an honest review 🖤
