I finished this one two days ago, I could not put it down and stayed up WAY later than I should have on a work night just because I couldn’t put this one down. All the things I love are contained in this one- MMC is smokin’ hot; FMC is intelligent, cares for others, has a deep sense of loyalty and doesn’t expect someone to save her because she is capable of saving herself. There is a lot of focus on the main character’s relationship but also has a good bit of political intrigue, and the conflict comes from all sides.
Drawbacks (I know I gave it five stars, I couldn’t put it down…)
Secondary characters are interesting and done well, but with a few more pages committed, this could have been epic. Without giving spoilers, there are several simultaneous conflicts occurring at the same time, which is great…but again, with more pages committed to fully fleshing this out, could have been epic as well.
Bottom line, still a five star read for me….I would read it again, I am going to keep it and not sell it back for more books, and I had a hard time going to bed on a work night because I could not put it down…the definition of a five star read for me. Two days after finishing it, I am still thinking about it and I think this one could have easily been two books with both about 400 pages.

It was my first dark fantasy romance and I ATE THAT SHIT UP!!
I can not properly explain how much I loved this book. Apart from the fact I already love vampires and dark fantasy in other media. Reading through this story was like a breath of fresh air. Having medieval style vampires instead of twilight vampires (EW!)
The direction of the story surprised me completely and honestly, 5 months later I still can not believe that ending. At 2am in the morning I wanted to scream at the betrayal. That bastard.
I have read book 2, book 3 really is testing my patience, the release date needs to hurry up and get here!
