Contract With The Vampire offers a captivating and refreshingly different spin on the vampire genre. William and Ryann’s journey is far from easy—filled with unexpected twists, supernatural encounters, and emotional highs and lows.
Ryann inherits a mysterious house from a relative she never knew, complete with a lavish lifestyle and an unusual tenant—William, who requires something very specific to survive. As Ryann discovers her blood is rare and incredibly special, she’s thrown into a hidden world of supernatural beings, danger, and dark intentions.
One of the most intense parts of the story is when Ryann is taken and held hostage in a truly cruel and sadistic way by those seeking to exploit her uniqueness. The tension is real, the stakes are high, and through it all, her connection with William deepens.
Despite the darkness they face, the story ultimately delivers a strong message of resilience and love. Their bond is tested in every possible way, but love, as always, finds a way to prevail.
This novel stands out in the crowded vampire genre with its original premise and emotional depth. A solid 4 stars—I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it to fans of paranormal romance looking for something new!

3.5 rounded up to 4
Ryann is in a tough spot and when she’s gets a mysterious inheritance she hopes her luck is changing. William is getting desperate to meet his new house guest and sign the contract to keep himself fed. When Ryann and William realize the extent of their different circumstances they both panic a little bit.
But with no where else to go Ryann is determined to figure it out. And William has no other options so he moves forward with the contract.
Their relationship was very insta love. It’s a fun vampire romance. And was enjoyable to read. There was a lot going on towards the middle to end. And that was exciting. However, some plot points were just kind of glossed over. Or things that were made to seem like a big deal became fixed with a simple idea. And no real urgency.
I enjoyed reading the story. And the ending wrapped up the couple’s story neatly for the most part.

Contract With The Vampire delivers a fresh and engaging twist on the vampire genre. Ryann inherits a mysterious house—and an even more mysterious tenant, William—only to discover her rare blood ties her to a hidden supernatural world. The story mixes danger, emotional tension, and unexpected twists, especially when Ryann is kidnapped by those who want to exploit her uniqueness. Through every dark turn, her bond with William only grows stronger. With its original premise and emotional depth, I really enjoyed this read.

I enjoyed this. I liked the characters and I liked the plot. The only thing that bothered me was in some areas it felt like it there was more written then there needed to be. I felt kinda bored in the beginning but glad I stuck it out because the rest was good. Overall good read.
