You think it's safe to walk alone at night. It's not.
You think the only threat is other humans. It's not.
Monsters are real. Demons are real. Vampires are real.
And I'm about to become one of them.
My name is Arianna Spero. I was an ordinary girl, living an ordinary life, until my mother lapsed into a coma. Now, I am her only hope. She made a deal with the devil, and on my 18th birthday he came to collect. But there's a way to save her. There's something the princes of hell want more than my mother.
Me.
So I signed my soul away and promised to pick a prince to marry. I would take the blood oath, become one of them, and give them an heir. I would become a princess of hell, and my mother would live.
I expected fire and brimstone. I expected pain and misery. I didn't expect beauty. I didn't expect magic.
Karpov Kinrade is the pen name for the husband and wife entertainment duo Lux and Dmytry Karpov-Kinrade, aka The KK Duo.
Together, they write award-winning, internationally and USAT bestselling books, make music, create art, write screenplays and direct -- all the things.
Look for more from Karpov Kinrade in the Vampire Girl series, Endless Magic Online, The Night Firm, The Last Witch, Dungeon Queen, The Nightfall Chronicles and The Forbidden Trilogy. If you’re looking for their suspense and romance titles, you’ll find those under Alex Lux.
Check out their music by clicking on the Music tab.
They live in wine country California with their three offspring who have crazy creative genius oozing out of them in the form of music, art, performance, and all the things, and too many cats who all think they rule the world (spoiler alert: they do).
This had a really interesting plot line for a YA novel. Secret world, deal with the devil, driving plot points, unfulfilled destinies. I had really high hopes for it and was very disappointed.
I read the combined books, so books 1-3 were together and I couldn’t tell them apart. This may be great for some but personally I could not keep major themes and plots separate.
There was one thing after another, many plot points not being fully resolved and/or under developed.
The world building in general was poor. There is an entire universe hidden away from the real world that houses demons and other creatures. It is divided in to factions that the MC is supposed to spend time in but doesn’t, leaving those aspects of the world forgotten.
There wasn’t a whole lot of character development for most of the characters. Her best friend in the human world were quickly forgotten about, as well as with her mom: the driving force behind her deal. There are certain Princes of He’ll we don’t meet and she has a weird relationship with the ones we do meet.
There seem to be too many tropes trying to be met in the story and instead of fleshing out the main plot, there are a bunch of side stories distracting you from the original plot.
