While not a traditional romance, this story is undeniably intriguing.

James grapples with a harrowing home life and a streak of misfortune. His fortunes take a sudden turn when, on the day of his job loss, he reconnects with a childhood friend who secures him an interview with a prominent film director — a dream opportunity for James. However, fate takes an unexpected twist for James after that: he finds himself thrust into the nocturnal world of vampires, where fantasy creatures roam the city under cover of darkness.

I found it enjoyable. The narrative presented a fresh perspective on the vampire genre, though there are areas where the writing could benefit from refinement.

A feeling I am sure we have all felt when you are just going through the motion of life and look up, finding yourself in an 'oh shit' moment. The world building is detailed and the writing caught my attention. The world of the vampires is brutal and breathtaking all at the same time, keeping you waiting to see what else may happen.

I tried to finish this book. The prose was overwrought considering the main character lived in 2012. He was too obsessed with his younger sister. His life circumstances were so bleak that he was unlikable. Oh. I'm just too weak to stand up to my father. I have no friends. No job. Only being a vampire can save me. He also seemed like he transferred his obsession for his sister to Alexander the minute he transformed. I do not recommend this book.

The book is dark and intense. The world building is engrossing and the writing is gripping. I felt innumerable emotions while reading the book. The characters are powerful, relatable and mysterious. This is such a brutal and heart wrenching novel. Its fast paced and the twists and turns will keep you on the edge of the seat. The description is impeccable. Dive into vampiric grit, blood & gore, love, deception and sacrifice. The author will take you on a roller coaster ride. You will feel a thousand of emotions and the book will entirely grip you longing for more. The author is so talented and his poetry is deep and touching too.

This follows the odyssey of a newly turned vampire Jack. The author takes us deep in the dark and mysterious world of bloodthirsty Vampires. His transformation is unbelievable. Jack’s maker Alexander has changed him completely entangling him in the web of politics, secrets, deception, manipulation , love, dangers and vampiric grid, Will Jack survive?

I loved this book and would highly recommend it.

Thank you Author, Publisher and Netgalley.
