Eat the Rich: A Dark Vampire Romance Novella

by Elle Diaz

Bash

Ten years ago, I woke up with a killer hangover and a craving for blood. I've had nothing but my instincts to guide me, and I've made choosing my prey about more than just survival.

But the woman at the bookstore is no one's prey, not with her hunting knife and her ruthless plans. She's a predator like me. I will claim her, body and soul, and in exchange I will be her weapon.

Mira

The men who run this world see everyone else as a parasite.

I tried to play by their rules, to make something of myself in hopes of doing better than just getting by. Not anymore. Not when the man from my nightmares, the one with the killer smile and addictive touch, can help me cross them off like the line items they see us all as.

They think we're parasites. I'll show them a real bloodsucker.

EAT THE RICH is an urban fantasy dark romance about getting back at the billionaires while getting your back blown out by a sexy vampire.

well that was a delightful, cathartic, and sexy good time.

vampire bash doesn't know his maker, but has figured out the whole vampire thing. mira is a bartender and witchy shop salesperson, trying to make ends meet and help her beloved grandmother make her health insurance payments and premiums. mira also has a huge, massive, rage against billionaires and other rich assholes who profit off of those who have so much less.

a recipe for a rolicking good time, if bloody and a bit torturey sksksks.

This novella is exactly what it says it is! A great time and a lovely eff you to capitalism and billionaires hoarding wealth.

[Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read the trigger warnings because this is explicitly violent. Still, it's an interesting take on vampires who only eat the bad guys.

[Jessie]

Not for me.
