This book was like a big, embarrassing, fanfiction of every piece of vampire media that's ever been popular in mainstream culture. It was a spicy novel Frankenstein-ed to death with plot devices from other vampire books and movies. I can't say that I did not enjoy it in, it was certainly spicy and that is definitely one thing that I can say that this author writes well. The rest of it... the characters and plot specifically? Lazy. Everything that happened aside form the spice was conveniently wedged in to justify every fantastical thought the author dreamed up. I understand that it's a fantasy and there is a measure of suspended disbelief required but if an author is going to set a book like this in the real world, they should attempt to make it at least a little bit realistic. The main character was nothing special, typical erotica protagonist archetype. Questionable parentage, daughters of a prominent figure, unidentified powers, ends up being more important than everyone thought, etc. Also everything that went wrong she blamed on herself and that felt gross to me. Overall, it was.... fun and the writing was baseline fine. Nothing special and not life changing.

I wouldn’t say this book was life-changing, by any means…but the characters were fun and the smut was good. Solid read if you’re looking for a blush-worthy vampire romance!

This book is a collection to combine the three books in the series. 

Over the three books, we get to meet our main character Mina who is believed to be a half vampire and half human. Her father who is a head vampire in the vampire world pushes her off to a vampire for being his source of blood and to have a kid with him. Mina ends up falling for him, Malachi, and they find a way to break the pact that keeps him trapped in the house he lives in. Mina, Malachi, and his 2 friends Wolf and Rylan. 

Spoiler

After they escape the house, they find out their are bonded to each other because Mina is actually half Angel. They are running from Mina’s dad, as he wants to trap the 4 of them. The 4 of start to have a relationship. 

The three boys get captured by Mina’s dad and Mina must find a way to rescue them with the help of a monster hunter and a demon. When Mina and the boys are reunited they take over the compound Mina grew up on, under her fathers rule. Mina becomes the new head and they live happily together with their kids.
