Disclaimer: I received an arc of this book from the author.
Tropes included: Enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, Fae x Vampires, curses and political intrigue
The cover and the promise of Vampires is what initially drew me in to request an arc. The cover is just so gorgeous. Rion & Calia are forced to marry due to a curse put on their families generations ago. Neither are happy about the situation but Calia intends to do her best to make a happy situation out of her lot in life but Rion isn't interested.
This book gives you spice, angst, organ ripping (this is literally one of my favorite things when it comes to protective mmc and his fmc

There is a lot missing in this book. Imthe development of the relationship, worldbuilding, etc. It felt short.

Vampire books are an instant win for me and The Night Runs Red was a lot of fun as a result of that. I had seen the author promoting the book on her Instagram and immediately wanted to read it. I requested to be on her ARC team and I got one! It was a really good day.
When I first started the book, however, I was a little iffy. The writing style was very juvenile and it made it hard to really get into the book without turning my nose up at it. I almost dnf'ed because it seemed so ridiculous to me. But I pushed through and I am glad. While the writing doesn't necessarily get better, the plot becomes so addictive that you almost don't notice the writing.
While it's not a standout, it was a very fun read for me and I love the pace and angst of the whole thing. Any fantasy romance that has some good angst, I'll be head over heels for it. The Night Runs Red definitely has some good angst.
What I would have loved would have been for this book to expand upon its content a bit. There could have been 75+ more pages and it would have fleshed out what the author had set out to do a little better. It felt like a lot of things were dropped on us and then not fully fleshed out or really explained. The ending especially could have been used a little more because I was honestly a bit confused about what happened.
Overall, a fun read and I can't wait for book two.
