Hunger Games, meets multiple book tropes with Vampires.
This was a good read, it drew me in from the very first page. I knocked off a star due to its lack of originality. I felt the plot and characters were taken from a few other series, instead of standing on a new idea. With that being said, the author did a great job of captivating the reader with the trials. Having to watch Oraya navigate deadly trials as a human had me on the edge of my seat. Everybody in the trials had an edge over her in many ways, yet she kept fighting. I wish we could have had more of Vincent's story. He seemed to have a lot of secrets that he was keeping from Oraya. I'm hoping the second book will shed more light on that. Overall, a good book and I'm looking forward to Oraya's next move. That ending had me near tears.
