He died centuries ago. But for her, he rose from the grave.
"To pay my father's debts, I'm taken by the Crimson Order—an elite secret society, and brought to a club where the wealthy and depraved come to play.
I become a captive in training for one purpose only: to be auctioned to the highest bidder.
Locked in their old English manor, I'm taught the art of seduction, my body sculpted into a weapon for another man's pleasure. My future is a cage.
But the manor holds a secret. A portrait from centuries ago hangs in the shadows, a man of breathtaking darkness with eyes that seem to follow me. Every night, he visits my sleep. His touch is fire. His voice is sin. He commands the shadows that wrap around my body, and I wake gasping for more.
But he is dead. Impossible... And yet, I crave him like air.
As my audition night approaches, the dreams grow hotter, more desperate. He whispers that I belong to him, that no other man will ever touch me. But how can a ghost claim a woman meant for the living?
Then the night arrives. The auction begins. I'm sold to a figure cloaked in darkness, hidden in the corner of the room. He steps forward, his hand extended.
A single candle flickers. His face is bathed in light.
It is him.
The man from the portrait. The ghost of my dreams.
Flesh and bone and hunger.
And when I grab his hand, I seal our fate.
Fangs is a Beauty and the Beast meets Dracula retelling. Featuring a morally gray shadow daddy vampire, forbidden love, filthy spice, and a cliffhanger that will leave you begging for more...
Tropes:
- Forced Proximity
- Morally Gray MMC
- Forbidden Love
- Touch Her and Die
- Academy Setting
- Sentient Shadows

⭐️⭐️⭐️ I received an ARC copy of Fangs by Gigi Rhett in exchange for my honest review.
I really wanted to like this book more because the premise is genuinely interesting. I don’t usually gravitate toward fantasy, but I was immediately pulled into this story and found myself really intrigued by the idea of Blake, the curse, and this 200-year-old shadow man situation.
Unfortunately, the story ended up feeling rushed to me, and I was left with way too many questions.
For one… HOW did Blake survive? We know that he does, but I wanted so much more explanation about how and why.
I also had a hard time with some of the character reactions. I’m assuming the FMC is a virgin and pretty inexperienced sexually, so her first interaction with “Shadow Daddy” Blake felt like it should have been a much bigger deal to her. I expected more fear, confusion, hesitation… something.
And then there’s Cain. What about the fact that she drank his blood? Wouldn’t that affect her ability to mate with Blake? I kept waiting for that to become important, and it left me wondering if I had missed something. It almost felt like an afterthought, especially since it was explained earlier in the story that vampire blood is toxic to other vampires.
That said, the book definitely kept me curious. I spent a lot of it wondering, “How in the world is this going to end? How is she possibly going to end up with a cursed shadow who’s been around for 200 years?”
And then it ends on a cliffhanger. Not even a satisfying “okay, now I need book two” kind of cliffhanger either. It honestly felt like the book just stopped in the middle of a chapter. I actually had a moment where I wondered if something was missing from my copy.
There’s a really fun and unique story hiding in here, and I think with more development, more explanation, and a little more time for the relationships and mythology to breathe, I could have loved it.
Overall, an intriguing premise and an entertaining read, but it ultimately felt too rushed, underexplained, and unfinished for me.
3 stars.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I really wanted to like this book.
The premise, the tropes, even the trigger warnings all had me very excited to read this story. Sadly, it just didn’t live up to my hopes at all. The story felt extremely rushed, the main characters fell in love in seconds it felt like, and it felt like the main plot just wasn’t fleshed out very much.
The premise of this book holds great potential, a very dark vampire romance with high stakes and horror elements. Sadly this book just didn’t really get even close to reaching what it could be.
Honestly the worst part is the ending. The book ends on what feels like the middle of a chapter with no real conclusion, and it was so unsatisfying it almost felt insulting.
I think this book could have been great if it had just been longer and allowed to fester and grow, but sadly it rushed and left even the parts I’d typically adore leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

Ok, I read this book rather quickly. I was left with mixed feelings. There's a whole lot of concepts going on at once, trying to mash up Dorian Gray, Dracula, and perhaps the movie Van Helsing?
The FMC Lucy, (pet peeve, can we please stop using Lucy or Mina in vampire stories) her father is in debt to the order. She agrees to offer herself in his stead so he doesn't go become an indentured slave. She's taken too a castle with other girls to be trained by some masters before they become auctioned off. This training is what you think. Since she's a virgin, they keep them pure to be sold at a higher cost. The time period seems to switch between 1800 or early 1900s to current, as evidenced by their clothing.
MMC Blake is a vampire/ shadow demon trapped in a painting/ mirror by a curse. He is called to Lucy by some innate pull between them. There's some instant live and lust going on. The masters also are vampires. Therefore when menstruating they need to be locked in a tower. This story has promise but all of the concepts and sub plots seem to garble the original story and it fell flat for me. The spice elements were nice and I did enjoy those parts but that could not make up for it in the end.
Tropes and triggers: age gap, blood curse, demons, fated mates, first time, forbidden romance, instalove, instalust, touch her and ☠️, vampires

I absolutely loved it and I can't wait till the second book comes out. The ending had me all over the place, pacing and wanting to scream at Cain half the time and at thomas(he got what he deserved). The book was so good it had you by the throat from the very beginning and didnt let you go until the end cause they knew the cliffhanger would do you in lol. He was waiting centuries for her and she always wanted more then she could ever dream of and found it in a painting and his shadows.

SUCH a good vampire romance, I love these tropes so much. It’s fast paced, spicy, and will leave you wanting more. I was an ARC reader and so lucky to have been. It’s a lot of information in such a short amount of pages, but you truly get all of the information you need and so so much spice. Amazing! I can’t wait for you guys to sink your teeth into it!😉❤️

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 Stars)
Spice Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (5/5 Peppers)
I am absolutely blessed to have received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book, and I could not sink my teeth into it fast enough! It’s pitched as “Love at first bite,” and it completely lived up to every single bit of the hype.
If you are looking for your next dark paranormal obsession, FANGS is a masterpiece. It is a breathtakingly dark, gothic Beauty and the Beast meets Dorian Gray retelling that completely swept me away. The plot kicks off with high stakes as the heroine is sold to an elite secret society to pay off her father's debts. Instead of a typical captor, she finds herself completely bound to a mysterious, intoxicating ghost who haunts her dreams from a century-old portrait. But when the auction night finally arrives and her real buyer steps out of the darkness, absolutely nothing is what it seems.
Gigi Rhett delivers the ultimate morally grey shadow-daddy vampire hero. The dynamic between the main characters is pure fire, and the execution of my absolute favorite tropes is unmatched. The forced proximity creates a claustrophobic, intense environment where the tension is constantly building. The hero is deeply possessive and protective, bringing that perfect dangerous energy to the pages. On top of that, the mind-melting shadow play adds a unique paranormal element since the shadows literally have a mind of their own and love to explore. Every interaction is packed with delicious, high-friction energy that keeps you glued to the page.
The overall tension is completely unhinged, the spice is utterly filthy, and that final cliffhanger has left me begging for the next installment. If you love dark paranormal romance with an elite gothic setting and high stakes, run and add this to your TBR immediately.
Huge thank you to the author for the digital ARC! I am officially feral for this world and cannot wait for book two.

Thank you again for the ARC opportunity Gigi Rhett!
Fangs is a breathtakingly dark, beautifully chaotic novel, diving into a world where power, passion, and danger blur into one intoxicating narrative. From the very first page, the atmospheric world-building wraps around you, setting a stark, high-stakes tone that refuses to let go.
The dynamic between Lucy and Blake is spectacular. Gigi Rhett masterfully weaves a slow-burn, high-tension romance filled with complex power struggles, dark choices, and raw vulnerability. That progresses from captive survival to an all-consuming, fierce connection that feels completely earned and deeply emotional.
This story moves flawlessly from dark, suspenseful trials to pulse-pounding climactic sequences like the auction and the final bond. It is spicy, gripping, and brilliantly paced. If you love possessive alpha characters, intricate world-building, and romance that pushes boundaries, Fangs is an absolute must-read. A well-deserved five stars!

OMG!! This book was absolute perfection! 😭🖤
Vampires? Check!
Gothic romance vibes? Check!
A s*** ton of spice? Double check! 🔥
I genuinely could not put this book down. I literally read it in two hours! Blake is the ultimate vampire MMC, and the fact that he’s a shadow daddy? I am OBSESSED. 🙌🫶
I honestly don’t have the words to explain how much I loved this book, and I don’t want to give anything away because you NEED to experience it for yourself. But that ending?! HOW COULD YOU, GIGI?! 😭
I need book two like yesterday!
Please do check the trigger warnings before reading. ☝️
Five stars, hands down! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

ARC Review Incoming!
I got this book as an ARC and I loved it! It's a fast paced vampire romance that I fully devoured! (much like Blake did Lucy....)
I both loved and hated how fast this story moved. I loved it because it was very engaging and kept my attention. (It was very hard to put down!) I hated because it was over too soon!! I need more!!!! In the later chapters the pace matches Lucy's fraying grip on reality and it fit so well!!!
This book is dark, has some dark themes. So if that is not your cup of tea, keep moving. But if you like hot sexy vampires, 'touch her and die' mentality and some top tier spice, this book is for you!

***Advanced Reader Copy***
I really enjoyed this book. I'm not really big on vampire books because a lot of them are really gross, but this one had the perfect amount of spice without being too much. I thoroughly enjoyed the paranormal aspect of it because that tends to get a little tricky. The writing was amazing and it absolutely gives you old school vampire vibes. However, this book ends on a pretty crazy cliffhanger. It's touch her and die. Shadow play. You're mine. Morally gray. You called, I came. Knowing he shouldn't touch but then he says, "Fuck it". His shadows worship her. Shadow bondage but in all the fun ways! Good girl! He visits her dreams until she calls for him! This was a fun and very interesting read and all the things I never knew I was missing! Highly recommend!

I went into this knowing that this is short, smutty, and has trigger warnings. I really enjoyed the plot overall. I have a tendency to enjoy vampires and shadow daddy types in books. The FMC Lucy is forced into a world she doesn't understand but she is also something more. There is a bit of mystery on what makes her special. Blake the MMC has a past that has him trapped but I sense that the second book will explain more on that. The author was descriptive and ofcourse the shadows were fun to read about as well. The cliffhanger at the end had me simply hurt that I have to wait to see how everything comes together.

Vampires, shadow daddy, morally grey, what more could you ask for?
Very fast paced read... I finished in about a day. Perfect for in-between books or in a book slum.
Loved the story and the spice all the spice 😍 👌 I only wish there was more.

This is my first ARC- honestly after this book Blake is my new Shadow Daddy. I love the story line- gave me A.N Roquelaure vibes. Amazing! It did not disappoint.
Very spicy but still having a good storyline.
Would absolutely recommend.

I love a paranormal romance and I love a novella. It was just a little too quick for the chemistry to grow authentically, a slower burn romance with the same plot would have been amazing. 🖤🔥 Still enjoyable, but a frustrating cliff hanger. Be warned 🧛🏻

Ähh ne, also wirklich. Der Plot war dünner als ne Scheibe Käse, aber unterhaltsam wars trotzdem naja. Teil 2 lese ich wohl eher nicht
September 7, 2026
Many thanks to the author’s team for choosing me as an ARC reader, but I didn’t realize we weren’t reading finalized drafts. There are so many inconsistencies with punctuation and most sentences are just choppy and annoying to read. A lot of dialogue is missing the beginning quotation mark, too. Lucy feels like two separate characters and I don’t know if that’s intentional. Nothing was described in detail—I think the first thing that was actually described was Blake’s lil guy, so we had to wait about 23 chapters for a thicker paragraph.
The concept of this book is great. The ideas are there and I think it could be really interesting. A lot of things are just mentioned or casually thrown in instead of being actually worked into the story to seem important. Blake’s POV didn’t do much for me, and he didn’t get a point of view consistently throughout the story so it felt like an after thought or a really convenient way to continue the story without adding more depth.

I received an ARC of this book from the author.
Whelp I devoured this book in one sitting. It’s a fairly short story so don’t expect all that much story building or character development - our FMC and MMC pretty much meet and are like 😍
But even being fast paced and a bit rushed, it was an enjoyable read and has some great spice 🌶️ I did feel as if the ending was a bit half done and could have been more tidied up, but all in all it was a good romantasy with a light side of dark romance.

ADVANCED COPY REVIEW! I am not paid by the author, only given an advanced copy to read and offer feedback for first time publication.
For the author: I did enjoy this book as a quick read knowing this was a first. I think you’re on a great path here, but I do also believe the story could be extended in the middle to give the plot more… substance. I had a hard time keeping the plot in my mind and knowing what the end goal was… for the FMC & MMC and the villains of the story.
Also, I read that you’d like to know about spelling errors or continuity issues. I’ve “highlighted” what I noticed so it would be easy to find! Don’t stop writing! I think you have great ideas!
Spoilers ahead! ……………………
I thought this book had good potential for a first time author. This is a book with spice, so caution to readers who don’t like that. I’d give the spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Now, for the story, we have a mortal who’s father is down on his luck and borrowed way too much money from the wrong people. Our female heroine has to chose whether to let her father be taken for debts he can’t pay, or sell herself to this group of men.
She obviously decides to sell herself since her father would likely die in the work camps this world has pretty quickly.
We learn this group of men have many women staying in their manor and restrict these women to a cattle-like situation. They may not leave their rooms and must stay put at night.
You guessed it… they’re vampires. As if the title didn’t already tell you this! Anyway… this is no secret. So, the women they’ve collected are “lovingly” called pets because they’re getting ready for something called the “auction”. I guess this is where more vampires come buy these women for whatever they want.
Let’s bring in our MMC. He’s a trapped “original” that wasn’t a made vampire, he just was. Basically referred to as a demon and un-killable. He has a curse on him that restricts him to shadows.
If you do not like the trope where our FMC is a virgin with no experience, but takes everything pretty much like a pro, this book is not for you.
FMC is super into this shadow play that MMC is subjecting her to, so the book becomes her trying to figure out how to release him from this curse so they can be together. There is no explanation currently on why her blood is special or why it can break the curse holding him.
The group of men that have these women in their manor catch wind of her trying to free him, and for obvious reasons, are not okay with this. Apparently he’s the original owner of the property and has been trapped for a long time.
Anyway… she figures it out. True love. That’s what frees him. Okay, that’s fine. I felt this middle section was a bit rushed and can maybe have more trial and error for her if we want to make the book more detailed.
My copy ended on a cliffhanger with one of the villain vampires and the MMC in a bit of a bind. So I look forward to knowing what happens whether this is in a second book or in a longer final draft.
Happy reading readers and great job author!
For the author: I did enjoy this book as a quick read knowing this was a first. I think you’re on a great path here, but I do also believe the story could be extended in the middle to give the plot more… substance. I had a hard time keeping the plot in my mind and knowing what the end goal was… for the FMC & MMC and the villains of the story.
Also, I read that you’d like to know about spelling errors or continuity issues. I’ve “highlighted” what I noticed so it would be easy to find! Don’t stop writing! I think you have great ideas!
Spoilers ahead! ……………………
I thought this book had good potential for a first time author. This is a book with spice, so caution to readers who don’t like that. I’d give the spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Now, for the story, we have a mortal who’s father is down on his luck and borrowed way too much money from the wrong people. Our female heroine has to chose whether to let her father be taken for debts he can’t pay, or sell herself to this group of men.
She obviously decides to sell herself since her father would likely die in the work camps this world has pretty quickly.
We learn this group of men have many women staying in their manor and restrict these women to a cattle-like situation. They may not leave their rooms and must stay put at night.
You guessed it… they’re vampires. As if the title didn’t already tell you this! Anyway… this is no secret. So, the women they’ve collected are “lovingly” called pets because they’re getting ready for something called the “auction”. I guess this is where more vampires come buy these women for whatever they want.
Let’s bring in our MMC. He’s a trapped “original” that wasn’t a made vampire, he just was. Basically referred to as a demon and un-killable. He has a curse on him that restricts him to shadows.

Appreciation: 3.75⭐️
Spice: 3🌶️— Mild spice
🍆MF — Romantasy
📚Book 1 in the Love After Bite series
✏️First person — Dual POV
❤️Main tropes: Forbidden love • Vampires • Touch her and die
”I wake gasping, sheets twisted around my legs, the thin shift damp between my thighs […] And far down the corridor, behind glass and oil and centuries of dust, a painted mouth curves just a fraction deeper. As if it already knows I will dream of him again.” — Lucy (Chapter 1)
I was really happy to receive this book from the author, as I was coincidentally in need of a spicy and dark vampire story. And in that regard, this book definitely delivered. It is Gigi Rhett’s first novel, so it isn’t perfect, but it is a very promising debut.
In this novel, we follow Lucy, who, to save her father, is taken in his place by four lords (whom we suspect are vampires), who are supposed to “train” her to become a perfect “pet” to be auctioned off to the members of the “Order.” But lurking in the shadows of the mansion where she is held captive is the spectre of an ancient cursed vampire who has taken a liking to her.
I was intrigued by Lucy when I started reading, and I instantly fell for Blake as soon as I met him. I wanted him to show up and save Lucy and beat the crap out of the four Masters! His shadows felt as if they had a mind of their own, sometimes defying Blake, and I loved that they were treated like characters in their own right. I even found myself rooting for them more than Blake sometimes!
The book is written in short chapters that make it easy to read and follow the story. Halfway through the book, I was fully invested as the action picked up and Lucy was swallowed up by her new reality.
The spicy scenes were well thought out and interesting. There were some power dynamics and dub-con elements, which readers should be aware of, but I particularly liked the participation of the shadows and their filthy antics.
Now, this book also has a few flaws. We hear about the “Order” from the beginning of the book, but we don’t know exactly who they are, what they do, or why the four lords fear them. I think this book could have benefited from a bit more world-building. There are also a few plot holes that caused me to go back and reread some parts of the story to try to figure out what was going on. Although the book is well written, some scenes felt a bit rushed . A little more build-up and smoother transitions between scenes and events would have made the story feel more fluid.
All in all, this was a great start to the series even though there are a few issues. I am looking forward to the second book, especially since this one ends with a cliffhanger.

Absolute, unadulterated cinema for the feral soul. If your toxic trait is falling headfirst for morally black monsters who would gleefully watch the world burn just to keep one person warm, consider this your formal eviction notice from reality. Gigi Rhett crafted a masterclass in dark, depraved obsession.
Think Beauty and the Beast, but stripped of any fairytale gentleness, drenched in blood, veiled in suffocating shadows, and dragged into the deepest, filthiest corner of dark romance.
What made this hit so hard is how deliberate the setup feels before the chaos truly erupts. It doesn't throw everything at you on page one; it lets the dark, Gothic atmosphere settle just long enough to build real anticipation. But the moment their paths finally cross? The fuse doesn't just light—it detonates. The insta-lust hits like an absolute freight train. It’s raw, predatory, and dizzyingly magnetic, leaving zero room for hesitation. Once that momentum takes off, it never lets up, and you’re turning pages so fast your Kindle might catch fire.
And can we talk about this MMC? Because holy hell. He is the blueprint for everything a morally grey shadow daddy should be. Lethal. Feral. An absolute nightmare to anyone unlucky enough to breathe his air. Yet the second she enters his space, his control completely unravels. The sheer, suffocating weight of his possessiveness is unmatched. His "touch her and die" energy isn't an empty warning—it’s an active promise, delivered with the kind of ruthless, unhinged devotion that makes you kick your feet and question your own moral compass.
Then comes the spice. Filthy doesn't even begin to cover it. The shadow play is hypnotic and deliciously wicked. The blood play is downright sinful, toeing that exact line of monstrous kink while keeping the tension electric and intimate. The human-versus-vampire dynamic crackles with danger, yet the way he worships her in the dark takes the smut to a completely different level. Gigi Rhett held absolutely nothing back.
Fangs is fast, monstrous, and unapologetically addictive. It completely ruined my sleep schedule, annihilated my standards for shadow daddies, and earned an immediate, permanent spot on my five-star shelf.
If you crave apex predators, blood, shadows, and top-tier filth, drop everything on your TBR and read this right now.

3/5 ⭐
3/5 🌶
TW's: explicit sexual content, coercive control, compulsion, loss of bodily autonomy, dub-con/non-con situations, somnophilia (while sleeping or incapacitated), forced voyeurism, nudity, humiliation/degradation, BDSM, breath play, blood play, menstrual sex (RED WINGS!!), anal sex, dp (by shadows), violence, blood, gore, suicidal behavior, severe psychological distress, trafficking, sexual exploitation, forced captivity, 'pet play'. There may be more, but these are the big ones.
Everything I had read about the book, the blurb, tropes, & TW's, beforehand had me excited to read, but I was disappointed. The premise of the book overall was really good & potentially really make the book really good, if it was outlined better & longer.
There were so many plot holes & most of the sex scenes were confusing (hard to follow what is where, position, who's body part is that, etc.). The FMC's reactions to multiple different situations was very flat, lacked appropriate emotional responses, & lacked depth; same with the MMC as well honestly.
I have so many more questions than answers, mainly due to the plot holes. The end of the book felt like it ended mid-sentence. There weren't many typos/grammatical errors, but the ones that were present were pretty big (the author had misspelled a side character's name for a whole chapter).
Overall, not a horrible book; it's a short & spicy dark vampire romance. It is definitely a book you'd pick up if you just want something with senseless smut & not a whole lot of plot.
I am leaving this honest review voluntarily. Thank you to the author for sending me an ARC.

Review of advance copy received from Author
The ingredients were EVERYTHING I usually want… but the execution was chaotic.
Vampires? ✔️
Shadow daddy? ✔️
Dark romance? ✔️
All the listed TWs? Honestly, completely fine with me.
This should have been so up my alley, and there were definitely things I enjoyed. The concept was interesting, the vampire/shadowy elements had potential, and I’m always here for a morally questionable man lurking in the shadows.
But… what was happening?
The biggest issue for me was how chaotic the story felt. I kept asking myself, “Wait… how did we get from THERE to HERE?” The transitions between events and plot points sometimes felt so abrupt that I struggled to understand how everything connected.
And the FMC had me questioning EVERYTHING. Girl… you are literally being stalked by a shadow and you're just not going to question it?! I needed way more reaction, curiosity, suspicion—something! Instead, there were moments where I was sitting there thinking, “Are we just accepting this now?”
I also felt like there were a lot of interesting ideas competing for attention, but they weren't always tied together in a way that made the story feel cohesive.
That said, I didn't dislike it. The premise is absolutely my genre, and there were enough intriguing elements to keep me reading. I just wish the story had been more structured and that some of the character decisions and plot developments had been given more room to breathe.
Overall: The ingredients were right up my alley, but the execution left me a little lost. I wanted to love this one more than I did.

This was definitely an interesting read! This book throws SO many things into the mix—vampires, demons, curses, fated mates, forbidden romance, and a gothic setting—and there were definitely parts of it that I really enjoyed.
Lucy finds herself in a pretty wild situation after agreeing to take her father's place and ends up at a castle where things are definitely not what they seem. From there, the story gets darker and more complicated as she discovers more about the people around her and the supernatural world she's been pulled into.
Blake was probably my favorite part. A vampire/shadow demon trapped by a curse? Yeah, I'm listening. I liked the mystery surrounding him and the connection between him and Lucy. Their chemistry was definitely there, and the spicy scenes were.
I did feel like there were almost TOO many ideas competing for attention at times. There were so many different supernatural elements, storylines, and concepts introduced that I sometimes found myself wishing the book would slow down and develop one thing a little more before jumping into the next. Because of that, some parts didn't hit quite as strongly as I wanted them to.
That said, I really enjoyed the darker, gothic atmosphere and the supernatural elements. There was definitely potential in the story, and there were moments where I was completely invested in figuring out what was actually going on.
If you enjoy vampires, shadow demons, fated mates, forbidden romance, curses, gothic vibes, instant attraction, and a spicy supernatural romance, this one might be worth checking out!

Tropes:
Mates and insta love
Curses (and how to break them)
Auctions/being sold to pay off family debts
Some triggers I saw:
Non-con (including mind control)
bl00d drinking
Descriptive s3x scenes
D3ath
Mentions of suicid3
I was really excited to get this book because "spicy" and "vampire" is all I need to be interested. I think this book had promise and an interesting premise as well but I don't feel that it delivered. There was some insta love which can be digestible if done right, but it went from her being scared but also horny and him being pissed that she summoned him to "oh my gosh we love each other". Also none of the side characters were likeable which for the vampires I know is the point, but the other girls in the mansion at least should have been somewhat likeable.
The comments on her blood being "special" but literally no answers on this??
The spice wasn't bad but I think with more work it would have been great.
I would still give this author's books a read though and I absolutely love the cover!

🩸 FANGS 🩸
If vampire stories are your thing, STOP SCROLLING and ADD THIS TO YOUR CART! 🖤
Lucille (Lucy) is about to be married off "for her own good" so her father can settle his debt with The Order. But when The Order comes to collect, Lucy makes a deal of her own… she'll take on his debt instead.
She's sent to a mysterious manor to be trained and eventually auctioned off. But something isn't right. Strange things are happening, the shadows seem to be watching her, and the deeper she gets into this world, the more questions she has.
Let me tell you… this book may be short, but it packs a serious punch! The spice is SPICY 🌶️🌶️🌶️, the atmosphere is deliciously dark, and the mystery kept me hooked.
BUT THAT CLIFFHANGER?!?!
I screamed. I may still be screaming. And now I have to WAIT?! 😭
Absolutely enjoyed this one and NEED the next book immediately!
Vampires, dark secrets, spice, and a cliffhanger that will leave you unwell. What more could you want? 🖤

I received this book as an advanced reader copy for free from the author and am leaving this review voluntarily.
I had such a good time reading this book. It was fast paced, fast burning, seriously spicy and just such good fun if you like it a bit on the darker side.
Our (maybe) mortal FMC, Lucy, steps in the save her father after he wracks up a whole lot of debt and ends up being shipped off to a group of vampires to be "trained for auction. Here she meets the cursed, 3000 year old shadow wielding vampire Blake. And a whole lot of what my husband would call absolute filth ensues.
Would I say there's a deep plot to this story - no. But honestly, I still really enjoyed what plot was there. I enjoyed the dark themes (generally speaking, the darker the better for me), I enjoyed the spice and I liked the little cliffhanger at the end. And j will absolutely be holding out for book 2 because I need to know what happens to Lucy and particularly Blake next!
