SYNOPSIS
Everything that Twilight was missing. A steamy dark enemies-to-lovers in which prejudice, fear, and familial ties are not just tested but repeatedly broken leaving the characters, and the readers, yearning for more.
From Silvia's point of view, vampires are blood-sucking soulless creatures that don't give a damn about any of the humans in this world. She decided that the only way for her to live: Kill vampires and pay off her crippling debt.
Silvia was adamant about not working for bloodsuckers but when they came to her with the promise of erasing all her debt she couldn't say no.
Now the accomplished hunter is forced to babysit the most dangerous vampire heir in the world. Their excuse is that humans are smart and they have finally found a way to fight back. Silvia knew as soon as she set eyes on the breathtaking heir to the vampire throne that there was more than meets the eye. She knew that whatever the human rebels had in store could not possibly be more dangerous than the person in front of her.
Can the heir teach her that not all vampires are soulless monsters? It's hard to say but one thing is for certain, the attraction between them is deadly.
REVIEW
Wow, I am actually very surprised I liked this as much as I did!
I'm not going to lie and say my expectations weren't low going into this book. I've read my fair share of not-so-great vampire books, but this! Sapphic vampires! Ugh, I loved it.
This book is dual perceptive, alternating from Keir (a vampire princess) and Silvia (a vampire hunter). They are thrown together as Keir is preparing for her coronation and in need of a bodyguard.
The plot was a little lackluster, but honestly, I didn't care because I just loved Keir and Silvia's dynamic so much. Their enemies to lovers to enemies to lovers relationship kept me on the edge of my seat.
If your a fan of FROM BLOOD AND ASH by Jennifer L. Armentrout, this is definitely up your alley. (Not to mention it has its fair share of steamy scenes too!)
As much as I liked this, the ending threw me off. I think this book would've benefited from an extra 50 pages or so to wrap everything up. The ending was rather abrupt.
Overall, this was a really fun read and I am so excited to see what Elle Mae has in store next :)
