Half vampire Mina has no powers and is therefore useless to her father. It's not great shock that she's sent to be sacrificed to the thirst of a powerful vampire her father would love to control. But Malachi doesn't want to use Mina. As Mina gets pulled into a relationship with Malachi, as well as his own complicated relationships with Wolf and Ryland, she learns she isn't as powerless as she though.

This is three novellas combined into a single volume. There's are a few time when that's very apparent with time jumps or summaries of earlier events, but overall I think this collection works really seamlessly, and I loved getting to read all three books one after the other. It's a very fun and very steamy book that ties into some of Robert's other paranormal novels.

Thanks to Netgalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for an early copy.
