About this book

Hidden within the mist-shrouded Scottish Highlands lies a university where humans and vampires coexist in uneasy proximity. Rebecca Charity, a relentless vampire hunter, infiltrates this sanctuary with a singular, vengeance-fueled mission: to locate the Book of Blood and Roses, an ancient compendium rumored to hold the secrets to eradicating the vampire race. Her quest is deeply personal, driven by the memory of parents lost to the creatures she has sworn to destroy.

Her resolve falters, however, when she discovers her new roommate is Aliz Astra, the magnetic scion of a powerful vampire dynasty. Aliz is everything Rebecca should despise, yet she is also the most captivating woman Rebecca has ever encountered. The friction between them is immediate, balanced precariously between lethal intent and undeniable desire.

The dynamic shifts irrevocably when a moonlight rescue binds them together through a supernatural curse, forcing the hunter and her prey into an unwilling alliance. As they delve into the dark mysteries of the university, the lines between duty and devotion blur. In a world defined by blood, Rebecca must decide if the artifact she seeks is worth the price of her own heart—or if her salvation lies in the very creature she was born to slay.

Pleasantly surprised

"This one really surprised me. I really enjoyed it! I don’t think Ive read another book where a vampire can have a familiar. And that wasn’t the only twist to the story. I liked that the story had a lot of character growth for the main character and tied it into the plot twist at the end. I feel like this wrapped up quite nicely but with enough lingering questions to set us up for book two. This was my first sapphic romance and I will definitely be adding more into my collection. I wasn’t sure it was something I would vibe with but Im happy to say it was. It’s was such an interesting dynamic between our two FMCs. I am excited to see where the next book takes us! ["
