Publisher's summary

They say monsters are made. I was born one.

With an angelic face and a cursed talent, I eat magic and ask for seconds. When I pass through the land, flowers wither, earth scorches, and colors bleed out—all at the command of my father, the God of Ruin.

I escaped his prison, only to stumble upon a dangerous school ruled by five heirs. Girls fight to fall into their laps, even though they’re all hot mess assholes.

My name is Barbie, but the vampire prince calls me “Little Bob,” mistaking me for a boy. I roll with the punches and pose as a servant boy in the House of Vampires to hide from my father. I try my best to fly under the radar, but the Fates keep tossing me into the path of the cruel princes.

That’s how I bump into Killian, the dark, enigmatic, and most powerful heir. I want him, but he’s the forbidden fruit. He’s drawn to me too, like a moth to a flame.

When he doesn’t like the burn, he rips off my bodice to betray my secret in front of everyone and forces me to enter the cutthroat game of the Brides Selection.

Right out of the gate this book started off on a run and stayed that way all the way through. So much action and adventure. I really enjoyed it. I always love the narration job by Victoria.

entertaining with fabulous narration!

So I'm a weirdo that listened to book 2 first and realized I missed out on way too much by not listening to this book first.

Victoria Mei is truly amazing with how she portrays Bob/Barbie and her alter ego, Sy.

I found this book to be highly entertaining and taken is it's meant to be, whimsical and also outrageous.
Am I looking forward to book 3? Hell yes, I'm invested at this point!

Interesting Storyline

I enjoyed this unique paranormal storyline. Barbie disguises herself as a guy named 'Little Bob'. She is hiding from her father's scouts. This book is action-packed and fast paced with great characters and intriguing. This book ends in a cliff hanger. Victoria Mei narrated very well.
