Savage Thirst

Nymphs and Vampires

by Dayna Styles

I tried to kill this vampire a year ago… and now I’m his captive.

Did I want to become a nymph? No.

But life doesn’t ask what you want. It throws you into supernatural chaos and watches what you do next.

I’ve been running ever since. Until the night I’m captured by the vampire I once seduced, betrayed, and left for dead.

Kayden Darrow is volatile. Gorgeous. Deadly. And he’s not the only problem.

His older brother Asher, an ex-military vampire with clear morals and cold eyes, is even less amused when I try to stake his brother. Again.

They should kill me. They don’t. I'm not used to kindness.

But I can’t tell them the truth. Not about what I am or what I know.

And especially not about the ancient, billionaire satyr hunting me across the country. Because my history with him is far messier than I can admit...

Oh wow, this was a surprise hit for me! I didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did.

The vibes were such a throwback to the paranormal romances I used to be obsessed with in the 2008-2010 era and reading this felt nostalgic. Also the man (/vampire) that Asher is, whew! All the green flags! 🥹🥵

Although I read this via KU, this book is currently free (01/27/26) on Amazon so I ended up “purchasing” it as well. Cannot wait for the 2nd book to come out next month!

In this spicy, action packed romance you follow Sage, a nymph on the run. She is a former vampire hunter, now hiding from the group she once thought was the only place she could belong. When she is rescued by a vampire she once almost killed and his brother, her image of vampires start to change. Sage suddenly realizes she’s been told some lies, and that truth cuts through everything she’s ever known.

Savage Thirst was quick from the start, wasting no time throwing readers into the action. And the spice! Two vampires, both similar yet so different. Asher, who displays control and restraint. Kayden, who is a loose cannon and all predator. Both orbiting around Sage, it creates an interesting balance. It reminded me a bit of Vampire Diaries, if Elena picked Damon AND Stefan! I enjoyed the dynamic between them, even if I’m more Asher biased. I just wish we got to glimpse a bit more into Kayden’s softer side, he doesn’t drop his mask often.

There’s a bit of a cliffhanger, and I’m really looking forward to seeing where the story goes next. As this is a slow-build harem, I’m expecting more connections to form as Sage navigates the mess she’s in! I’m also excited to discover more about the world and uncover the paranormal lore in their society. As a reader, you’re learning along with Sage and that creates a bond with her character.

This is a great read for anyone looking for a fast paced, spicy, why choose romance with a paranormal twist. You could read this in one sitting, and you’ll certainly be drawn in by the Darrow brothers. Much like Sage was!

I was so excited about this book and when it was finally available devoured it in few hours, only to be left with crazy cliffhanger and now I can‘t wait for the next one! 😀 Loved it soooo much, it‘s real page turner and all characters are so amazing and their actions change during the book, from kinda evil to adorable, and I‘m all here for it! Just when I thought that there couldn‘t be more epic LI than Kayden, in the end Darius shows up and daaaamn.... I must admit I am absolutely excited to hear more about him in the next book 😩😍

The beginning of the book alone is already captivating. Let me tell you, Dayna Styles did it again! I loved the story, couldn't put it down and suddenly it ended! Mean, mean Dayna! 🤣 Such a bad cliff hanger!
I'm so curious how those big problems will be resolved, Darius the satyr is unbelievably strong...
Did I make you curious? Start reading and you'll know what I mean!
