“Death isn’t frightening when weighed against an insignificant existence”

This really filled the hole that I didn’t know the tournament/death games books from my teenager years left. And while this book had some issues, particularly in the telling and not showing department, it immediately caught my attention and gripped it tight. 

This book is engaging, with the right balance of romance and action. The world-building strong, and the take on vampires refreshing. So many of my personal favourite tropes and themes can be found within its pages and it was a real struggle to put it down. And most importantly, I absolutely adored Raihn. What a guy. 

So if you love vampires, tournaments, feminine rage, and charming yet absolutely whipped MMCs as much as I do - I heavily recommend.
