Publisher's summary

The vampire prince has never claimed a human. Until now.

My whole life I’ve been nothing but a means to an end; livestock kept caged for the production of blood. I’ve stared through fences at the promise of freedom countless times, but the only way anyone escapes this hell is in the hands of a bloodsucker.

The annual testing is about to begin, and those who pass are never seen again. So f--k that. My twin and I decided to risk it all. To run before the royals could claim us.

Turns out, that dream expired fast. Because when an original vampire decides to own you, there’s nowhere in this ruined world left to escape to.

I’m at his mercy now, trapped in his castle, destined to become his creature, and forced into a dangerous game of rivalry between the seductive vampire princes.

His beauty is a weapon I wasn’t prepared for, his cruelty a bane that strikes fear in the hearts of all, and his company a sin I’m going to spend my life repenting.

I need to get back to my sister, but she’s caught in a trap of her own, tangled up with the last slayer to walk this earth and following his path towards vengeance. She’s at his mercy too, the man with violence tattooed across his skin, death trailing his footsteps as he stalks his prey - who just so happen to be the royal vampires who hold me captive.

The gods are toying with us all, placing my twin and I on opposite sides of an ancient war. And in the end, I fear there won’t be any victors left standing.

So I’m going to play a game of my own, let my captor use me as his puppet until I find my moment to strike.

Let this hell-born ritual of lust, lies and blood begin.

This is a dark, fantasy romance series by the authors of Zodiac Academy with all the enemies to lovers vibes – don’t go expecting a sweet vampire with sparkling skin and a tendency to watch you sleeping. These vampires are savage and bloodthirsty, and the slayer who hunts them will stab first and ask questions later.

This war-torn fantasy world is a brutal bi*ch and only those 18+ have a chance at surviving the darkness lurking in the audio. There’s no well-meaning vampires snacking on Bambies instead of babies, and if they get their teeth into you, you’ll be damn lucky to escape with your life and panties intact. So grab hold of your slayer blade (wooden stakes have too many splinters) and get ready to defy the gods, because this is going to be one helluva ride.

Love this story!!!

This book was well written and great. t he only reason I decreased a star for performance is I felt they were speaking slow so I upped the speed. It is a great book with an original story. The relationship between the sisters is so sweet and makes me envious of their closeness. I cannot wait for the sequel

Family torn apart

Family torn apart, one sister to become a vampire slayer. Is the other sister going to become a vampire or does she fall in love and remain human? On to the next book. This book has more of a serious tone to it and different from others written by this fantastic duo. The performance has me more interested in reading the book for myself and forming my own character voices in my head, not the best I've heard. Her voice is nice to listen too.

Binge worthy

I like the development of their characters and there's a slow burn where it's not to a point where you're ashamed to listen to it.

such a fun start to a series!

I love a good vampire book! I knew this book had vampire slayers but the fact that they are Viking descendants was such a fun twist!! I can't wait to see what happens to the twins as this series goes on. They are definitely on two different paths one with a vampire, one with a slayer it can only lead to a bumpy reunion, because as much as Montana does want to she's going to fall for the vampire!

I need all of them!!

Obsessed with this new world! I need the rest out already! Devoured the whole production in a day.

A story that pulls you in

It was a really great story that sucks you in very quickly to this new world. I gave the performance of four-star, because the narrator reads very slowly, and she pauses after every sentence pretty dramatically. I did speed it up and that made it mostly better.

Such a good series so far!

I’ll be honest. It took me a bit to get into the story but oh my god I’m so glad I stuck with it! Very different from the usual vampire storylines you see and I absolutely loved it. I’m normally an audiobook girl but I was so hooked after the first one that I immediately bought the next two on my kindle and read them both the same day I finished the first one! I can’t wait for them to release more

phenomenal

please continue the series asap please 🙏 It was extremely easy to listen to and enjoy

The dynamite duo

I can’t get enough of these sisters. This book actually surprised me. It’s a different vibe compared to some of their other books but still is one that you can’t stop reading. With this book you feel what the characters are feeling. It’s a must read!

The story

I am loving this story and really felt like the narration was on point too. I have so many questions and feels 😂 and can’t wait to see what happens with them. Amazing job!
