Once upon a time, a vampire fell in love with a hunter… The trials for the heir of the city have begun, and the stakes have never been higher. Red, a hunter, is struggling with her growing hunger for blood and the truth of her identity. Octavia Beaumont, one of the original three vampires, is determined to win the trials and take control of the city. But as Red and Octavia navigate deadly challenges and political machinations, they must also confront the lies and betrayals that have shaped their past. Memories have been stolen. Secrets have been kept. And the line between love and hate has never been more blurred. As the trials progress, Red and Octavia's bond grows stronger, but so does the target on their backs. Enemies lurk in every shadow, and even allies can no longer be trusted. To survive the trials and uncover the truth... They must decide how much they're willing to sacrifice. Confront the monsters they've become. And embrace a destiny that could destroy everything they hold dear. But in a world where blood is power and love is a weakness, can Red and Octavia emerge victorious? Or will their secrets be their undoing? This is a dark and steamy lesbian vampire romance with a generous dose of enemies to lovers, fated mates, and political intrigue. Featuring a snarky dhampir heroine, a morally grey vampire queen, explicit BDSM, blood play, and shocking twists, this book is not for the faint of heart.

Where on earth do I start?!
Book 1 ended on a whopper of a cliffhanger. Octavia - the vampire love interest - had just erased a whole whack of Red's memories - the human hunter who just also happens to be her lover.
Of course, no good ever came from hiding things, even when it's been done because the person begged you to.
While the spice content in this book is off the charts, and nothing is left for you to guess (believe me, by the end of book 3 I expect to be fully blown lesbian), it truly is the story and the desperate emotional pain at the heart of the two main characters, that drives everything.
Octavia wants to be seen, to be accepted and to be loved, not to be seen as a monster.
Red wants honesty, safety for everyone she cares about, and to be secure, not to be turned into a monster.
Both of them hold secrets that will only tear them apart, that will only confirm their deepest fears.
And of course, there's the even darker secret at the heart of the kingdom that threatens to destroy their entire world.
But how can they hope to overcome that if they can't overcome their own sins?
If you want saucy, if you want spicy, if you want dark, treacherous and dangerous with incredibly painful emotional stakes, then this is the book you need!
I received an Advance Reader Copy - this is my honest review.
