LAST ONE TO THE GRAVE, WINS.Being a killer wasn't what eighteen year old Selena Grey ever expected she'd become. But with her stepfather's blood fresh on her hands, she finds herself walking into an eight by six prison cell where she'll live out the next twenty five years of her life. Or so she thought...When a man as beautiful as he is terrifying walks into the prison, Selena is the only one seemingly unaffected by his charms. But Varick's impossibly dark eyes are trained on her and her alone, frightening Selena of what his presence forewarns. It's not long before she finds out as she wakes on a ship in the dead of night, a captive of the forbidding Varick who seems more beast than man. But when she arrives at a barren and isolated island in the stormy north sea, she soon realises that the obnoxious Varick may be her only hope of survival. Because, in a place where polar night reigns for the next six months, a powerful and cruel family are about to start this year's season of the V Games. And Selena is marked to participate in the blood sport, hunted by ravenous vampires and surviving the harsh terrain of the bleak island. And, not only that, but Selena just became the highest bid on contestant in a century...

Oh good gravy this book was AMAZEBALLS. It was like the Hunger Games with vampires. I was so sucked into this story I skipped my lunch and lord knows I love my food. Thanks heaven's I have book two lined up and ready to go or I might have been stalking the author Misery style (lol).
The writing was fantastic. The pace was perfect. The plot was engaging and kept me turning the pages. The world building was good but because of that, I felt the “romance” took a backseat. I wasn't overly bothered by this as this is a trilogy and the author had to set the stage. As this was a YA novel there isn't much in the physical relations department (just a kiss). I am kind of hoping that maybe we will get some sexy times between Selena and Varick in upcoming books but I guess that depends if the author will stay with the YA theme or not. This one also had a great cast of secondary characters. All flawed in their own ways. Some you will love more than others and I hope that maybe something didn't happen like we were lead to believe as I sort of thought the author implied that a certain wolf may have a connection with a certain other person. I guess we will see. Both main characters were great. I felt like Varick was the slightly more developed of the two as we get a touch more background for his character. But Selena was equally engaging and I can't wait to see her getting her revenge. Last, we are left with a nice little cliffhanger. And like I said above I am SO glad I have book two lined up and ready to go. All in all, I enjoyed this one immensely, and it gets two HUGE thumbs up from yours truly.
