If you missed my stories this past week here’s an overview.
-
Oraya is a badass FMC. She’s human adopted by the Nightborn King Vampire. The character development for her was exquisite. She joins the Kejari a tournament between all three vampire houses best warriors. The winner receives one wish. It can be anything.
-
“Human or vampire, the rules of survival are the same: never trust, never yield, and always – always – guard your heart.”
-
Raihn the dark and dangerous MMC. A ruthless vampire with incredibly talented skills & strengths. He is the enemy. Fighting for the crown and the biggest competition.
War breaks out in the House of Night, drawing everyone’s attention including those involved in the Kejari.
What happens when everything you thought you knew is now a lie?
-
“Death isn’t frightening when weighed against an insignificant existence.”
-
THE LAST PART OF THE BOOK had me in a chokehold!! I literally couldn’t put it down. My husband kept hearing me yelling things at the book 🤣 this is definitely one of the best world building and battles I’ve seen in a fantasy setting in a long time.
I am SO ready to start the sequel.
