The Night Runs Red by Amber Palmer
4.0
I don’t even know where to start with this book! I absolutely loved the urban fantasy setting with fae and vampyres.
This book follows Calia Darrow, a descendent of the fae royal line. Due to a deal made by her ancestor, she is to marry a vampyre, or both will have to forfeit their lives. The vampyre she is set to marry is Rion D’arcy, who is gorgeous and a notorious playboy. When Calia meets Rion, she can’t help the attraction and is instantly drawn to him, while Rion insists that their marriage will be in name only. But after an attempt to kidnap Calia, things being to change between them. Calia finds herself falling for Rion, but it seems the closer she gets the more secretive and invasive he becomes, particularly about the history of the deal that affects both their families. When answers begin to arise, will they be able to salvage their relationship or will blood be shed?
“Whether he voiced it or not, I knew Rion was falling just as hard as I was. I only hoped we didn’t crash and burn.”
The Night Runs Red was so captivating and I could not put it down. Calia was such a relatable FMC and it was so refreshing to see a character that a lot of women can relate to. My heart broke for her given the situation she found herself in. Alone with no friends or family, and a grumpy husband who wants nothing to do with her. But she held her head up high and refused to cower, and I was damn proud! And Rion… he was so rude and there were times where I wanted to give him a piece of my mind! But once he starts to warm up to Calia, I fell in love. He was protective, caring, and truly making an attempt in their marriage. The spice was perfect and the chemistry between these two was incredible. The ending left me speechless and I need the next book ASAP. I will be stalking Amber’s socials for any crumbs she may give about when we can expect it! Highly recommend checking this book out!
