All my life, I've wanted nothing more than to escape my father's compound. Half human, half vampire, I have none of the perks and all of the weaknesses. Well, my father's finally found a use for me. He's sent me to Malachi Zion, the last vampire in his family. My role is to play resident blood bank and, should Malachi knock me up, my father gets access to a whole new bloodline to control. No one asks me what I want. But the longer I spend with Malachi, the more I realize that he's not the monster I first thought, which makes it harder to resist the heat that flares between us. And then his two friends show up and complicate things exponentially. As long as we're stuck in this house together, I'm a trap just waiting to be sprung. But if we break free, there's nothing holding these vampires to me... In gaining the one thing I want more than anything--my freedom--I might just lose everything.

I had a humiliating moment while reading, when I realized just how desperate I've became for Vampire romance to of ended up reading this.
It's... Awful.
I've read a couple things by Katee Robert at this point and irregardless to how fascinating a book premise of theirs is in the future, I won't dare to pick up another.
I write notes when I'm reading books and one of them I had was: “writing is janky. like the author was typing out scenes one handed and ‘flicking her nub' with the other.” and maybe that's too sarcastic even coming from me lol, but I can't seem to find another way to describe the structure for this. It doesn't flow. Not to mention that when I wrote that in my notes was because just a mere couple pages into the book, our character is orgasming on the floor and humping the vampire upon first meeting.
Majority of the scenes make little sense, particularly between the physical movement of the characters and actions. Example: (not pulled from the book directly but so you get a sense of what I'm talking about) if you're reading a character whose in a bedroom at night but a couple sentences later it's afternoon the next day and they're in the kitchen. You're left with a character finishing a sentence or a thought and next thing you know, you're transported elsewhere into a new situation. Sometimes that's okay but the writing has to be there to make those scenes come together and whole. This is not that.
The only thing I enjoyed in this was the fact that multiple vampires had sex with her, and lots of threesome scenes. i do enjoy reverse harem
We don't learn much about these vampires. We don't learn much of anything of the other vampires. The whole reason for why she's there doesn't feel like much of a reason. Any thoughts/emotions/motivations is surface level. It's presented as fact, leaving me disconnected from enjoyment. For me to read a smut book and come away only valuing the smut and not the characters is disappointing.
And that ending made my eyes roll so hard I could of been having a stroke. Spoilers here the vampires learn that Mina has magical abilities, that she may also be 'other'. Malachai is under a magical lockdown at his castle imposed on him by Mina's father. Why? idk. And in order to destroy this magical binding she needs to take 3 vampire dicks to unleash her abilities and break the barrier. I mean... Wow lol. After the threesome they talk about what should be done at this point. Somewhere along the way they decided Mina needs to become pregnant. It ends with "I need to get pregnant but first, we have to kill my father" Ugh. The cringe.
Not that it hasn't already been said but I won't be continuing.
