Summary

In a world of perpetual night, vampires rule and humans have no chance of escape.

On the surface, my life must appear one of lavish design. As a courtesan for the vampire royals, extravagant gowns are tailor-made to hug my curves, ensuring I look my best as an ornament decorating a luxurious palace. 

What is the cost of all this splendor? My blood, my body . . . and my soul. 

After being arrested for war crimes, I volunteered to become a consort to the three kings to allow my family time to escape. But when the malicious leader of the human rebellion demands I betray my new lovers, even I'm surprised to discover my loyalties have shifted. 

My body now craves the touch of my vampiric kings, awakening a burning passion within me to protect them from an uprising that could bring them to their knees. Can I find a way to protect all those I love, or will I pay with my life for daring to care for both sides? 

Contains mature themes.

Male narrator in need of respiratory help!

Decent story line, average performance (if that), not the usual Alexa B James standard. Wanted to love it but couldn't. The MFC is jarring and presents more like an extra than central, in terms of characterisation. It ends on a cliffhanger and is predictable, too.
The male narrator ruined (pun not intended) it for me, the deep sighing breaths before EVERY sentence and the irritating accents that all sounded the same nearly had me giving up. Sir, you can breathe through your nose!
