Come one, come all, to the Vampire Nights club at Aris, the most infamous hotel in La Vega!

The performers are exquisite and blood spills are most certainly guaranteed. But remember, what happens in La Vega, stays in La Vega. Get ready for the time of your eternity!

Viva La Vega. Yeah, right.

Maybe if you’re one of the elite vampires and not the headlining blood donor of the rowdiest show in the city like me.

How else will my master—I mean, protector—maintain power? If only that power didn’t turn him into the ultimate monster.

Now I face going to auction and landing under the fangs of a coven far worse than I ever imagined. It’s one thing to pretend like I can provide enough blood for the masses. It’s another to satiate the blood hunger of La Vega’s most notorious vampires, who all want me. I’m afraid they’ll tear me apart.

But the show must go on.

At least, until the final curtain falls.

This is a dark and dangerous vampire romance with situations some may find triggering, gore, and violence. If you like your men psycho yet sweet, your villains irredeemable, and your female leads raw, broken, and determined to find their strength, discover the La Vega Vampire Showstoppers today!

Repetitive

The description for this book intrigued me. Who doesn’t want to read a crazy, Las Vegas style, vampire RH book? And it was an engaging read until it started repeating everything.

I really dislike when the same plot devices get used multiple times in a book. When there are three plot devices being rotated every few chapters it sucks the life out of a really good premise. The main character gets kidnapped so many times it’s exhausting. You have to read about so many penises being cut off that the ‘shock’ value wears off immediately.

The most eye roll aspect is how many times the, supposedly, bada** male leads get completely bamboozled. The way they are spoken about by other characters or themselves makes us believe that they can back up their threats but in action the exact opposite is true. They’re not very impressive. They are taken by surprise at every turn. It could be that the author was intentionally making for an unreliable narration but that seems a little strange for the genre and tone of the book. In the end it left me rolling my eyes and skipping pages.

Ruby/Hailey is an interesting lead. She is very practical about her life. She knows what she has to do to stay alive and is willing to do it. I liked that aspect of her personality. Most of the time when I read books like this, the female leads are defiant rebels who will withstand any abuse to stick it to their captor. That was not Hailey. It was a change up to have a heroine fall into line. I would have loved to see how a character like that stands up for themselves but I won’t be reading the second book.

Vampire Nights completely threw me but in a totally brilliant way. When i read the title of the book i didnt know what to expect but it certainly wasnt this. Ruby (FMC Hayley) is a Gem. Part of a performing group all with precious gems names who put on shows for Master Aris and the Rich, Elite Vampires. Al that sparkle and glitter covers up abuse and violence. Only because Ruby has grown up in that enviroment its almost like shes conditioned to know no different. Which she doesnt. That is until the day the Bella crew - Knox, Monroe and Sawyer crash into her life. Completely opening her eyes. Action - packed, fast paced and steamy with a brilliant cliffhanger ending. It was a bloody great read and i cant wait for the next book

Wow what a read! This is a dark and dangerous vampire romance that does not hold back. The characters are intriguing, the bad guys are really bad, there’s bloody violence, tons of action, some hot and steamy scenes, heartbreak and so much more. An exciting but very dark RH read with abuse and other triggers, there’s twists and turns that will make your jaw drop and an ending that will leave you desperately wanting more!

This is one dark and twisted boom and I loved every minute of it. Hayley grew up as a blood donor and know no other life. She performs for vampires who want her blood and her body. After one show she ends up meeting three men who would change the course of her life. Lots of twists in this book. I can't wait for the next book to see how things go for Haylet and her men.

This book is freaking amazing. Our girl Hayley has grown up living in the casino and only knows what it's like living inside it's walls. She dreams of a different life. But she also knows that will never happen. Things are different now in this world.
This book lists the triggers and if you decide to read it, be prepared for twists and turns that will leave you yelling wth just happened. Because something is definitely special about our girl Hayley, and it's a lot more than just her dancing skills.

Wow. I was not expecting that. That made my heart hurt and my brain race. This story has triggers out the wazoo, but if the triggers listed don't bother you, this is an excellent read. It's post apocalyptic meets vampire. The main character has been subjugated her entire life. The Bella crew of vampires become fascinated with her and try to take her from the vampire coven she belongs to. This story begins the fight over her future.

2.5 stars. This book is not for the feint of heart/stomach. The world Ruby lives in is unquestionably brutal, a cruel world where there may not be sunshine and roses or unblemished heroes. The world building was a little hard for me to wrap my head around, and I can’t tell if that was an intentional confusion due to how limited the MC’s knowledge of her own world is with how she’s been “sheltered” in her captivity. I could have used more emotional development between her and her harem to be, more reason for the connection and draw between all of them then just “oh you’re hot and oh you taste good too,” especially to justify them putting their greater plans at risk. There were just enough hints of each of the guy’s characters that I think I like them, but the characters were being dragged through so many bloodbaths and horrors there wasn’t really a chance to get to know them, or let them develop even a friendship after the initial attraction. I may want to continue the series to see just how they get out of the colossal mess they’re in at the end of this book, but haven’t decided yet.

Vampire Nights is the first book in Ginna Moran's La Vega Vampire Showstoppers series and this book is a fantastic read, but if you are sensitive to certain things that are outlined in the warning for this book...you're going to want to pass on this one. But if you don't mind the dark and the twisted then you're going to enjoy this book quite a bit.
Vampire Nights is the first book that I have read by Ginna Moran and it won't be the last! I enjoyed the dark and twisted elements of this story and so I absolutely devoured this book. The author introduces readers to a young woman by the name of Ruby Vixen, well...that's her STAGE name anyway. Her real name is Hayley and she's controlled by Alexander Aris, her master...a vampire. Ruby is one of an assortment of gemstone named performers, but she is the headliner. She's special, but has no idea just how special she is. During a certain performance she catches the attention of a certain member of the Bella Crew, and that's when her whole life changes. Her life is thrown into chaos and she quite often finds herself in danger due to the actions of those around her.
This book truly is a thrill ride of a novel in its own way. The characters are engaging and the storyline kept me coming back for more. There were moments where I thought...where is this going? Are things about to be wrapped up into a "HEA"? The answer...no, because there is more to come. I like the dark and twisted elements, but I wanted more. I wanted more of her performances. I wanted more twists as well. There are some situations that I didn't necessarily like all that much though. One in particular that irks me is the one with Knox where she has sex for the first time. For the author to portray that he's not even going to notice anything afterward is just hard to believe, especially since 1) he's a vampire and 2)...it's an obvious thing to notice unless you're blind. I also don't like how the guys are so scattered. They are portrayed as being kick butt guys who have their stuff together, but apparently they aren't and it's a reason why they are so disorganized. It's disappointing. They want to whisk her away, but don't really have any plans solidly in place. It undermines them and any believability they might have.
This book has a lot going for it and I'm looking forward to the next book in this series. The author leaves things hanging with an interesting twist, but I'm hopeful that the guys will get some sense. I'm looking forward to the development of Hayley as a character as she continues to find herself in dangerous situations. I can't wait for more twisted fun to come, but hopeful that we'll get more of the performances and character development. I'm choosing to rate this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. The characters are good, just less repetition of certain elements.

I liked the premise of this book. I also liked that the author plans to have the FMC grow as the series goes on - not that I'll get to see because I'm not planning to continue this series. The writing was pretty good, the idea of the book was also pretty darn good, and the author seems to not be horrendous at her job.

What I didn't like about this book, however, how it was organized and executed. I did not finish this book and ended it at around 48% but that was more than enough time for me to see that I just wouldn't like to continue. I don't mind that the heroine gets kidnapped.... a lot... but I do mind that the heroes always show up just in time. The book would have had more depth if the build up of these kidnappings resulted into something that would have made me invested in the FMC. However, she just keeps getting saved like a damsel just in time before anything really damaging can happen. The FMC has/was abused by her owning while growing up but we don't see all of that, we come in at the middle, and that just wasn't enough for me. The guys also aren't really anything that stand out - with Monroe being the only one relatively decipherable. Sawyer and Knox were interchangeable.

The world building was okay, we have just enough background to kinda piece together what has happened and I'm sure more will be added as the series goes. There was a lot of talk/action regarding dicks being cut off? To the point that it got kinda boring and gross. I liked the first time when the FMC was saved, again, from being raped just in time by her guys, again. But after that? ZzZzZz - boring, not even a shock value anymore.

I would definitely be willing to give this author a second chance, but this book just didn't do it for me. I really need an author to commit to some of their plots to add depth.

Multiple POV medium burn dark Vampire PNR RH with a submissive female, possessive vampires and gang wars.
Reader Beware TW include but not limited to enslavement, multiple attempted rapes, kidnapping, human trafficking, bodily mutilation and extreme violence and gore. This is set in a world where humans are no more than Blood donors, they are abused daily and suffer horrific treatment. If you are in any way squeamish then proceed with caution.

Hayley is a blood donor at Vampire Nights in La Vega, known as her stage name, Ruby bloody Vixen is the most popular showgirl, forced to put on a show for the highest bidder.
Knox, Sawyer and Monroe are part of the Bella Crew, their mission is to destroy Alexander Aris, the power hungry owner of Vampire Nights. After meeting Hayley, their attraction to her throws everything in to chaos. Can they protect their girl from the upcoming war?

This book is action packed from start to finish and ends on a cliffhanger.
FMC is meek and submissive forged in trauma and unlike most characters of a similar type, Hayley doesn’t immediately turn in to a badass but we do get to see her strength emerge a teeny tiny bit.
World building is slow and comes in glimpses, we are learning more about the world along with Hayley who has grown up in the hotel and it’s all she’s ever known.
There are some great supporting characters, Tate especially.
Overall this is a great start to a series, my interest was held throughout and I can’t wait to see what happens to Hayley after that shocking cliffy.

I gave up after reading 33%, wish I hadn't spent the money

The vampire character development is poor. The character assertions aren't supported by the dialogue or the plot.

It reads like a poorly written "mafia" story which was later adapted to have vampires.

The world building was colourless.

There were so many inaccuracies I couldn't continue.

The FMC has one of too many mental monologues and shares that she has never been outside the hotel, following up that if she did she'd only get burnt. Humans need exposure to sunlight for vitamin D to remain healthy. Given the apparently "limited" human donor stock, logically Vampires would want to ensure their stock remains healthy producing quality product. Never being in the sun would make the FMC sickly and she certainly wouldn't be able to develop the musculature for performance.

Also guns.....really...these vampires are written to have the same vulnerabilities as humans. They breath, have heartbeats and don't seem to have any healing abilities....but mysteriously their blood heals humans. The only thing they seem to be able to do is, run fast and have fangs.

I recommend spending your money more wisely.

This book has a sort of post apocalyptic way about it. Vampires now rule and humans are food... donors or blood slaves. This war happened over 100 years ago. That was when cities were basically walled off like Las Vegas, now called la vega. Theres a sorta ruling 3 we don't see till near the end but theres roughly half dozen casino leaders who basically run the town. Ya theres small crews because they are not allowed to form covens... power hungry leaders need there control my bet.
Well this book is mainly about one blood slave born in service and her live as a performer and 3 sexy joint crew leaders that fall for her head over heals. Well her master won't let her go and is cruel and abusive to her. While her caretaker tries to protect all her performers. Read and find out why she's special, why her bloods is so prized, why her master is such an evil prick, and what the guys will do ti have here for themselves. But be warned besides the twist and omg moments theres one hell of a cliffhanger ending.
I was part if the arc for this book.

What a rollercoaster! This book is about a human girl who is trapped in enslavement to a powerful vampire I’m La Vega. This book is not for the faint of heart. If you are looking for a strong willed female lead, this isn’t the book for you. Haley has been traumatized and manipulated since she was born and so she doesn’t have much of a strong will. However, after meeting some intriguing vampires that show her actual kindness, she starts growing stronger and trying to fight back. This is a character who needs time to grow into a kick butt female lead. She has the potential, she just needs some time to get there. This book was so incredible! But it’s not for the faint of heart. It could be triggering to those who experienced physical, mental, and s**ual abuse. If that’s you, be very careful reading this story, it could be very triggering. It’s incredible, I highly recommend it if you can handle the content.

Bloody Amazing
Are your looking for a sexy AF, dark AF paranormal reverse harem thrill ride? Step right up and enjoy the show. The FMC, Hayley, is living a tortured life as an entertainer when three sexy vampires inexplicably fall head over heels for her and try to figure out how to save her and stick to their plan to take over the city. All hell breaks loose and it’s just one crazy turn after another. And the twists and cliffs will leave you breatheless.
Not a ton of spice but the sexual tension and spice it did have was so hot. Please be warned, there are wall to wall psychos and violence in this book and you’ll want to read the trigger warnings, but omg it was so freaking good. I can’t wait for the second book!!

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Wow. What a crazy and addicting read that was brutal and bloody and completely unpredictable!
In a world where vampires rule and humans are all just living blood donors, Hayley is just trying to survive as best she can. As the headlining act at one of the top hotels in La Vega, Hayley must perform night after night as Ruby Bloody Vixen, entertaining the guests and bringing in top dollar. If she fails to please her master, punishments are in order and consequences are severe. When three vampires from the Bella Coven set their sights on her, they’ll do anything to free her from the Aris Hotel and keep her for themselves.
This book grabbed my attention from the very beginning and I could not put it down! There were so many twists and turns I didn’t see coming, and it left off on a cliffhanger that has me craving more and needing answers! I absolutely cannot wait for the next book!

Ok so this book has triggers and has been described as dark and twisted so a i wanted but didn’t want to read it as i don’t do well with triggers - But let me say don’t let the triggers put you off as long as you can handle violence.
This is set in a Dystopian type world where Humans are just waling Blood Bags to be treasured, or brutalized depending on the nature of the Vampire in question.
Hayley is a performer and has never even stepped out of the Hotel she works in where she does an aerial routine, Her Master Vampire looks after her and her work colleagues
So when her master tires of her and three men cant get her out of their minds things get interesting
Fast paced, medium burn storey which is so original. Amazing world building and character development, Definitely worth a read!

Wow this book completely threw me off track, but I can't say it was in a bad way. The world has changed, especially in Las Vegas. The vampires are now in charge, and that's not exactly a good thing for the donors, I mean humans. The FMC is Hayley aka Ruby, one of the Gems at Aris hotel. She performs each night for the vampire crowd and gives them her blood. She's never known anything outside of the four walls of the hotel but that's soon going to change for her.

There is definitely the potential of a lot of triggers in this book, but the author gives full disclosure on these at the beginning of the book so the reader is beyond prepared for what is to come. It's action-packed from start to finish and there are so many twists and turns along the way. Fantastic read, and I can't wait for the next book.

This book is set in a dystopian kind of world. Vampires rose up and took over, walled cities in and any surviving humans become blood donors or slaves. It is set in La Vega, formally Las Vegas.

Haley was born into her life as a blood donor. She performs nightly at Vampire Nights and is one the headline acts as "Ruby". In a world ruled by vampires, Haley is a very submissive FMC, as 1 wrong move could cause her to give her final donation.

Haley meets 3 vampires; Knox, Sawyer and Monroe. They all have an undeniable pull to each other, and they will do anything to try and keep their girl safe. Even if that means starting a war.

There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you hooked. After that cliffhanger I cannot wait for the next book!

Action, gore and vampires!
This book is action packed, filled with violence, gore and smexy scenes. It is not for the squeamish as there are also many triggers, so read the warning first. I loved that it has multiple POV so we can also know what the guys are thinking and feeling. Hayley is a performer and blood donor at Vampire Nights in La Vega. It is a world where vampires are in power and humans are nothing more than food and playthings. Three vampires become instantly enraptured by her and obsessed. I found myself wanting them to save her and get her out of Alexander’s hands right away. There were many twists and turns and I couldn’t put it down. I’m excited for the next book and to see Hayley grow more into her strength.

Dark, twisted, and full of potential triggers, this paranormal RH story is filled to the brim with violence, raw passion, danger, and a strange charm. Despite everything that Hayley/ Ruby Vixen has to endure during the Vampire Nights, a spectacular show with performances that bring out every secret desire of the vampires attending, the story is strangely alluring with all the savagery, blood running freely, and deadly power games of the leaders. The characters all have their dark sides and twisted desires that surface under tensed circumstances, or in any heated moment, yet considering the whole setup and world building the attitude fits. And after the ending, with the story taking an even darker turn, I am curious how Hayley will get out of the whole mess intact.

This book is full of action and suspense, and leaves you on the edge of your seat through the whole thing. Through the book, Hayley is not some rough and rough rebellious doner, who gives the vampires hell whenever she can. She’s meek. Docile. Obeying and pleasing others to survive. She’s learned how to survive as best as she thinks possible, and she’s determined to stick to that to save herself, and the people she’s grown to care for. She meets a group of men that suddenly turn her world upside down, and now she’s questioning her treatment. She’s questioning everything. Even someone she holds dear. The end of the book is followed through with a huge reveal, and a monumental cliffhanger, and I eagerly want the next book.

Warning!!! This book is NOT for the faint of heart, there is gore, graphic scenes, and heartbreak. This book is very dark and often times leaves you with no sense of hope, which is how Hayley feels most of the time. Hayley is a very strong character who is just fighting to survive her reality as a human in a vampire world. She is a glorified animal living in a zoo with almost no control over her life and her actions, she is paraded around in pretty costumes for vampire to look at and covet. I seriously cannot wait to see what comes from that huge cliffhanger. I totally recommend picking up this book if you are looking for something different.

Wow this was a very dark read so this is definitely not for the faint of heart, there graphic scenes, and heartbreak so if you have triggers I highly recommend that you don't read this book. But if your looking for a dark RH thrill ride I suggest you buckle up And enjoy the ride. Plenty of twists and turns to keep you hooked from beginning to end. All I can say is that end though!!! It's does end on a cliffhanger but I'm super excited to see what going to happen next in this series. As always my reviews are totally voluntarily and no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are my own.

Hayley is 'Ruby Vixen' headline act at the best hotel on La Vega.   La Vega is a city dominated by Vampire covens and humans are donors.  Hayley has known no other life than that of the Hotel Aris, where Alexander rules his donors with fear and violence, however also offers a level of protection to Hayley that she wouldn't find elsewhere.  Life in this city is made up of alliances, bought with blood, violence, flesh and fear.  Until the Bella coven led by Sawyer, Knox and Monroe come barrelling into Hayley's life and offer a possible alternative.  If only it were that easy.  Vampire covens are know for their possessiveness and Hayley is the ultimate prize!

I really wanted to like this book and was very intrigued until about 30% when the repetition started. Hayley would perform a show, be threatened on the stage, her master would punish her severely and then her guys would temporarily save her. They never actually bring her to safety, instead they choose to constantly drop her in the lions den and then act shocked when shes hurt. The only reason it’s getting three stars is because her guys were genuinely awesome characters and the plot was semi good. I got so aggravated at Hayley for being weak and giving up, I decided I’m not going to continue the series, but that shouldn’t stop others from trying it out, it may be your thing!

This is the start of a new series, and I can’t say enough about this book. I love the person Hayley is trying to be. The person you get glimpses of during this book as she tries to overcome years of abuse and manipulation. Monroe, Sawyer, and Knox are some of my favorite morally grey characters to date. Each one with their own issues and brands of crazy.
I’m intrigued by what you learn at the end and am hopeful the the next book expands on it. Till then I see a couple reread of this book in my future.
**please read the trigger warning at the start of the book as some content can be difficult for people**

Please make sure to read the trigger warnings!!

Not really sure what I was expecting, but woooow!! It was a little slow at first but definitely picks up as the story goes. There's incredible world building and I swear, once Sawyer, Monroe, and Knox made an appearance, I literally was swooning. I actually really liked our h. As of now, she's trying to survive in a vampire ruled world. But, would definitely love a character growth from her. I haven't even mentioned the melt your kindle scenes...legit 🔥. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Vampire Nights is the first book in La Vega Vampire Showstoppers and being a huge fan of vampire romance this book definitely didn’t disappoint. In this world the vampires are in charge and humans are blood donors. Haley (Ruby) is a performer, and blood donor at Vampire Nights, surviving the best she can. When Haley meets Knox, Sawyer and Monroe, from the Bella Coven, they turn her life upside down. This is a dark PNR RH read, filled with graphic scenes, kidnapping, violence, and twists I didn’t see coming. This book ends on a cliffhanger and left me wanting more. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series,

Action packed and full of darkness. Hot enough to melt your kindle but heart wrenching and full of feels. Be aware of the trigger warnings because they’re not joking. There’s so much going on in this dystopian world that it seems to fly by. The heroine is easy to side with even though she seems broken but she has strength just to survive in that world. I can’t wait to see where this goes next. The ending was a surprising revelation and I’m very curious about how it will play out. Definitely recommend with caution for triggers.
