In a nutshell: The dice are rolled at midnight. As the twenty-one-year-old heiress to the Le Spyre fortune, my life should consist of strawberry mojitos and golf carts. Right? But I’m determined to forge my own path. Desperate to escape the meaningless games of the rich, I flee my family’s estate.
Secret alias - check.
Place to sleep - uh, kind of?
Job - crap!
I’ve bitten off more than I can chew, but that’s the least of my worries. My city is a giant board game. The players are supernatural - freakin’ vampires - including an overbearing crown prince whose unwanted attention could spell my demise. Now, I must play their deadly game, or my grandmother and best friend will pay the ultimate price.
What I thought: Yes Kelly! A new take on the UF genre! Kelly St. Clare delivers a unique take on a Vampire romance with Blood Trial and I am loving it.
Basi is an heiress (but don’t let that deter you from relating to her, she is the bomb) who discovers the city she calls home is not only also home to thousands of vampires but one of whom takes an interest in her. I love Kelly’s books, they are clever, written beautifully, so damn funny and she writes relatable characters - yes even inconceivably rich heiresses!
The romance is smoking hot - alpha male, strong as heck main female who wants nothing to do with him but also finds him irresistibly attractive? Yes, I’m here for this.
This book ends on a cliffhanger but is part of a trilogy that are all out to be read now. So go do it! Catch ya on Level 66.
My fated mate rejected me - and now I've been captured by someone even worse.
As the half-human outcast of the Cancer pack, I've been beaten and bullied my whole life. Gaining my wolf form and my fated mate is my only chance to change packs and hope for a better life.
Except when my fated mate is revealed, he's the future alpha of the Leo pack - our worst enemies. He rejects me in front of everyone, just before the Leos slaughter my entire pack and murder my family.
I manage to escape, but then I'm kidnapped by a far greater threat: the alpha of the mysterious lost pack. The 13th sign was banished from the Zodiac Wolves years ago, and I thought they were just a myth.
They're real. They're holding me captive. And the dark, dangerous alpha is offering me something I can't refuse - revenge.
