The Cruel Prince meets Ninth House in this dangerously romantic dark academia fantasy, where a lost heiress must infiltrate an arcane society and live with the vampire she suspects killed her family and kidnapped her sister.
It began long before my time, but something has always hunted our family.
Orphaned heiress Kidan Adane grew up far from the elusive society of vampires she was born into, where human bloodlines gain power through vampire companionship. She is obsessively protective, mildly nihilistic, and willing to do anything to save her loved ones. When her sister, June, disappears, Kidan is convinced a vampire stole her—the same vampire bound to her family bloodline, the cruel yet captivating Susenyos Sagad.
To find June, Kidan must infiltrate the elite Uxlay University—where students study to inherit their family fortune and select vampire companions. Kidan must study an arcane philosophy, work with four enigmatic students, and survive living with Susenyos—even as he does everything to drive her away. It doesn’t matter that Susenyos’s wickedness speaks to Kidan's own violent nature and tempts her to surrender to a life of darkness. She must find her sister and kill Susenyos at all costs. When a murder mirroring June’s disappearance shakes Uxlay, Kidan sinks further into the ruthless underworld of vampires, risking her very soul. There she discovers a centuries-old threat. And June could be at the center of it. To save her sister, Kidan must bring Uxlay to its knees and either break free from the horrors of her own actions or embrace the dark entanglements of love—and the blood it requires.

"Amazing. I have been in a slump and this book got me out of it. I could not put this down. The prologue was confusing. Honestly just skip the prologue. From chapter 1 onwards this is simply delicious. I ate this up lol. Finished it in 2 days."

Lots of potential, fell a bit flat
"I was very conflicted about this one. There were things that I thought were done quite well and others that fell flat. I loved the tension between our main character, Kidan, and her love interest/would-be tormentor, Susenyos (?), at least at first. The build-up was pretty good. Because I knew this book was the first in a series going in, I had hoped the ailments of insta-love wouldn't plague this pairing but alas, it did. I also found the lore of vampires in this one to be a bit convoluted which wouldn't necessarily be an issue if the world was fleshed out a bit more but alas, it wasn't. Aside from our main character and her love interest, everyone else felt kind of one-dimensional. This book had a lot of potential but in the end just wasn't the one for me."

Disappointed
"This was disappointing and boring. Pumpkin Spice Cafe was so good but all the others are getting worse"

Dark and Intriguing.
"Bought this book on a whim and ended up really liking it! The different take on vampires was unique and refreshing! However I do wish there was a little more depth to some of the characters. Parts of the novel felt slow from lack of connection to them."
— Ares (4/5)
