I love the way the vampire abilities are described in this book. The glowing eyes, the mind reading, all the little details make the vampires feel genuinely unsettling and addictive in the best way. And the angst between these two? Absolutely delicious. The way they both hide their feelings behind all that tension and jealousy makes every interaction feel so intense. The chemistry is just so good. I originally went into this thinking it would be a fairly typical stepbrother romance with a vampire twist, but I could not have been more wrong. This book feels like it exists in its own completely different universe. The vampire aspect is amazing, but it’s not even the main reason the story feels so unique. Literally nothing plays out the way you expect it to, and every chapter somehow pulls you in deeper. This book has me in an absolute death grip and I never want it to let go.
The characters, the atmosphere, the settings, the tiny details everything is written in a way that keeps you completely hooked. I’m obsessed with the characters, their personalities, and especially their backstories. They all feel layered and interesting in a way that makes it impossible to stop reading. I already cannot wait for book two because I need to see their relationship grow even more, and I desperately need answers about some of the things that happened because I am STILL thinking about them.

ARC Review!
I want to premise: go into this book knowing that it is the first book in a trilogy. Don't expect them their story to be done after this read!
This is a MMM Paranormal Vampire Romance. The characters are morally black so expect lots of pain 🙂↕️ blood 🙂↕️ and violence 🙂↕️.
This book follows stepbrothers Damien and Killian, newly turned vampires without a maker. They're barely surviving and always up to trouble. Damien is a mischievous and deviant brat 😈 and Damien's always following him cleaning up his messes. The tension between these two is suffocating in a way you just want to shake them and scream JUST TELL HIM YOU LOVE HIM!!! But in the best way possible 😂
Killian's in denial and Damien will do just about anything to make him jealous. It's the messiest book I've read in a while and I LOVE messy!
Enter, Jacob, older vampire who takes them under his wing, just to get under Damien 😜 (and Damien over him). The spice between these two 😮💨 They take fighting-as-foreplay to a level I've never experienced before and why did I like it 🫠
Buckle up buttercup, you're in for a wild, bloody ride! 😘
Tropes/Kinks: bloodplay, knifeplay, breathplay, fighting-as-foreplay, yearning/pining, sex w/ non-main characters, bratting, vers MMC's, pierced mmc, love triangle, stepbros, possessive/obsessive, killer MMC's, did I mention blood? 😅

Thank you to the author for the ARC. All thoughts are my own.
This was highly addictive and had me on the edge of my seat while I waited for our MMCs to sort through their feelings and actually communicate. I loved all of the characters though, especially Jacob. I think he's wholesome and I cannot wait to see how their relationship will continue to develop in the next book. If you want a spicy mmm vampire romance, this is the one for you!

So so so good! I am glad I took a chance on this author’s debut novel because now I am excited for more! I am a sucker for forbidden and this was right up my alley! Seriously I love the way it played out between all of the main characters. I am really excited to get some answers in the next book!
