A Bargain So Bloody by Vasilisa Drake
Get ready to dive into a dark fantasy world, offering a slow-burn romance, experience court intrigue, and desperate bids for freedom.
The novel introduces us to Samara, a witch imprisoned in a seemingly inescapable fortress. Her only hope of leaving lies in an unlikely and dangerous alliance with Raphael, a powerful vampire, he’s unspeakably powerful, his supernatural strength tamed only by the enchanted cuffs forced on him. Their initial interactions are fraught with tension and distrust.
One of this book's greatest strengths is the characters. Samara's resilience and growing self agency, as she navigates, escape her unlikely alliance with a vampire and then the complex vampire court politics. Raphael, in turn, is a captivating presence, embodying morally grey in just the right way.
I enjoyed the journey of these characters
but found the pertinent and immersive information started action pacted then lulled for a bit in the middled but picked back but for an unforgettable conclusion.
The way the epilog leaves you with your jaw wide open, I am extremely excited to read book 2 when available.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
