Once upon a time, a vampire corrupted a hunter.
Octavia Beaumont, one of the original three vampires, is determined to run the city. Red, an expert hunter, is hell-bent on getting revenge on the vampire that turned her sister.
When deadly trials for the heir of the city begin, Red and Octavia are forced to work together. Octavia wants a crown. Red wants blood. But there’s only one first place.
To win, they’re going to have to trust each other. But teamwork is not easy when their past is filled with betrayal… A betrayal Red can’t remember.
Someone is lying. Someone has a secret. Everyone has a hidden agenda.
The last thing Red and Octavia want to do is fall in love… But hearts remember, even when the mind doesn’t.
To win the trials and get revenge… they must reveal a truth that will shatter their souls, remember a past that will break their hearts, and fight a war that will change the face of the city forever.
Three tasks. Three choices. Three sacrifices.
All of them have a cruel price. The question is, are they willing to pay it?
This is a very steamy lesbian vampire romance with a sprinkling of enemies to lovers and second chance romance, royals, multiple POV and timelines, bratty bedroom vampires, exhibitionism, and more. For mature listeners.

This is the first book I have read by Ruby Roe. Great characters, a fantasy world but real characters with malevolence and passion making this story a heady mix. Lovely interplay between the lead characters. A must read

Read this book right after the “Girl Game series” where one of the MC’s already was introduced. The story left me heartbroken in the best way.

I couldn’t put it down because I was completely in love with it. The tension and chemistry between our characters was absolutely stunning and hot. And the sex scenes were just ð¥. I’ve annotated so much and had the time of my life reading this book even though the end shattered my heart into a million pieces.

I WAS HOOKED
I highly recommend this book is amazing and I loved every second of it. I rarely bing read a book usually I take my time but this one I loved every second of it and I could not put it down. Omg ð poor Octavia and Red are going through it. I love them to pieces. I cannot wait for the next book which I’m preordering tonight. Ruby Roe is a genius. It kept me on the edge of my seat. This is an enemies to lovers and I love their push and pull between Red and Octavia and their banter the entire time how slowly they go from being enemies to loving each other unconditionally but circumstances happen and welll…… My heart is broken let’s leave it at that. Please read this book is a must.

for many people it would be a 5/5
I really like how this author writes. She writes intriguing plots with good characters. I can see how many people would give this book a 5/5 rating, but there were a few things that threw me off. First, I didnât like the Cordelia parts of the book because I couldnât see their relevance and sometimes their chapters about her threw off the flow of the plot for Octavia and Red. Second, the spicy scenes, though ok, also messed with the flow of the plot for me, and third, I hated how this book ended and I am sad to say that I have no desire to buy book 2 and having to read so many chapters before Red regains her memory of Octavia. I am sure that author has her reasons, but the ending turned me off too much to want to find out.

compelling
The amount of times that the hunter is compelled is outrages! I hated the ending. This Hunter is supposed to be strong but is treated like a weak human. Her growth as a cheater is stunted because of this. She because becomes someone to be used and it lessons the sex scenes- reduced the hunter to be someone used just for sex. The flashbacks are the only thing that humanizes the hunter to me. The vampire seems so emotional and human which is good in one sense, but bad in another, because sheâs lived so long but because of her loneliness she doesnât think!I gave this story 4 stars because of the potential of the plot. Itâs such a great story just need better character development of the hunter.I typically dislike flashbacks in books but I found myself wanting to skip pages for the flashback- I can see a prequel to this book, just focusing on the motherâs story. The motherâs story may developed so much more in the coming books. Her character was more flushed out than the hunterâs character in my opinion.A good read and I would still recommend.

JUST WOW!
This was such an amazing story. I did not know what to expect. The plot, the characters, the secrets, the steamy-ness, the twists and realizationsâ¦OMG! If you havenât read this yet, you must!!! Definitely a page turner, I had moments of having to put the book down because of what was unfolding or I just needed a moment from all the steam ð but I picked it back up right away because I wanted to know what was going to happen next.Rubyâs stories are definitely one of my favorites and I am looking forward to Book 2 of this beautifully written story!

Lesbian Vampire Fantasy jackpot
Compared to some queer books Iâve read, I appreciated the writing and imagination and creativity of this one. The spice level is super high and itâs a great vampire fantasy book. I already ordered the second one and pre-ordered the third.My favorite lesbian romance book is The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith so my bar is quite high, however I really enjoyed this one and couldnât put it down. The mystery and storyline are great and the attraction and chemistry between the main characters is amazing.Looking forward to starting book 2!

Must Read – Dark, Tormented, Hot
If steamy lesbian sex bothers you, don’t read this. If you like a HEALTHY side of it intertwined with a entertaining story, excellent character development, and Rockstar writing, this is a MUST read.REVIEW:This is Shakespeare for lesbian fantasy lovers with a light touch of D/s (Dominance and Submission) by our leading characters.Lucky us, our lovely author takes it many steps beyond Shakespeare’s wildest dreams with dark twists and characters that are far more relatable — in fact, there is more than one Roma & Juliette plot occurring with consequences that can spell salvation and destruction of an entire city (the world if our Vampiristic world extends beyond Sangui City).The characters are lovable and despicable in their choices, but very likeable (well, all but a couple–they would scare anyone in a dark alley).Are we who the world says we are or can we become more?Can we fight destiny and, if we do, who do we hurt other than ourselves?Those questions are explored in Book 1, and I hope answered in Books 2 & 3.
