Synopsis (from Goodreads):

Three Powerfully Alluring Vampire Men
And One Queen to Rule Them All

All Mina ever wanted was to escape her father’s control. Half human, half vampire, she lived eternally torn between two worlds, never fully experiencing the pleasures of either—until her father chose her as the pawn in his latest political move, gifting her to the darkly powerful and dangerously seductive Malachi Zion.

Malachi is not a vampire to be trifled with. He rules with an iron fist and has a reputation for the darkest of sins. But the longer Mina spends with him, the more she realizes he’s not the monster she first thought—and as fear bleeds into lust, then trust, then something more, Malachi opens Mina up to a world she never knew could be hers for the taking: including the love of Malachi’s two closest friends and companions.

Now surrounded by all three men, the center of their shockingly seductive world, Mina may finally have the power to face down her father and take back the life—and crown—that by all rights should be hers.

LONG LIVE THE QUEEN.

My Review:

Thank you Sourcebooks Casablanca for the copy of this book.
–
Read if you like: dark romance
–
Mina is sent to the home of a vampire for one purpose: to feed and breed for this vampire. But what she doesn’t expect is to learn more about herself and her past.
–
This was an intriguing book. I loved the way Mina slowly became more aware of herself and her powers, and overcame a lot of the trauma she experienced as a child at the hands of her cruel father. My only thing is that the number of spicy scenes felt like a lot of plot filler, and while I love a spicy romance book and don’t shy away from reading anything, I wanted a bit more plot. It made the book feel a bit too long but overall I really enjoyed reading the story!
