About this book
Deep within the mist-shrouded Scottish Highlands lies a university where the line between predator and prey blurs. Rebecca Charity, a relentless vampire hunter, goes undercover at this elite academy with a singular, vengeful mission: to recover the Book of Blood and Roses. She needs this lost compendium to avenge her parents, but her hunt takes a volatile turn when she discovers her new roommate is none other than Aliz Astra, a breathtakingly dangerous scion of a powerful vampire dynasty.
This seductive sapphic paranormal fantasy masterfully weaves forced-proximity tension with the high-stakes danger of an academy setting. As Rebecca struggles to keep her identity hidden, she finds herself trapped in a slow-burn romance that challenges everything she believes about the creatures she was raised to destroy. When a moonlit rescue forces them into a supernatural bond as Familiar and master, their mutual hatred sparks into an undeniable, lethal attraction.
If you are craving a paranormal romance that breathes new life into classic vampire tropes, this addictive debut is your next obsession. With a perfect blend of mystery, dark magic, and heart-pounding chemistry, this story will keep you guessing until the final page. Will Rebecca kill the woman she is beginning to love, or will she succumb to the blood-soaked allure of her enemy?

First book I've picked up in a while. Ended up finishing it in one day because I couldn't put it down )

This one really surprised me. I really enjoyed it! I don’t think Ive read another book where a vampire can have a familiar. And that wasn’t the only twist to the story. I liked that the story had a lot of character growth for the main character and tied it into the plot twist at the end. I feel like this wrapped up quite nicely but with enough lingering questions to set us up for book two. This was my first sapphic romance and I will definitely be adding more into my collection. I wasn’t sure...

Tropey college romantasy. Sapphic enemies-to-lovers vampire hunter/vampire romance. The vampire love interest is only 24 though so no creepy age difference there. And it's not REALLY enemies-to-lovers. The vampire Aliz doesn't have any animosity towards the MC Rebecca, and Rebecca is hot for her very quickly. But honestly no judgment... I'd be down bad for my white haired masc roommate with nice suits. She could bite my neck too, who cares It's binge-able, it's smutty, the worldbuilding is...
