Summary
“I began this morning an heir. Now, I am nothing but a slave.”
Generations ago, our country was saved by the Royals. These god-like beings feed on the blood of the commoners to survive; In exchange for our blood, the Royals provide safety and stability for our people.
As the daughter of a Minister, Violet should have been the last person to end up enslaved to the insatiable thirst of the Royals. She must surrender her blood day and night to the elite until her nineteenth birthday, or die at the hands of the monsters who roam the streets after dark.
When Violet is chosen to serve as Crown Prince’s personal Bloodletter, she soon finds herself in the arms of his brother. As their love grows, so does the risk. Will Violet remain in her gilded prison forever, or will the Prince free her from the bounds of mortality? Can she too become a Royal?
Fans of Everless by Sara Holland and Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard will love this new twist on the dystopian vampire tale. The Bloodletters is an upper YA dark romantic fantasy that contains violence and suggestive themes. First book of a Planned Trilogy.

Looking forward to the next instalment
The story follows Violet, the privileged daughter of a minister, who is sold by her father just days after her mother’s death.
The Royals are the elite ruling class, they are blessed with long life and strength, but they feed on the blood of the commoners. Violet is taken to a blood house, where she must remain until her 19th birthday providing blood for her clients. The first two thirds of the book tells Violet’s story and how she navigates and survives her new life.
Everything changes again for Violet when she is chosen to become the personal bloodletter for the crown prince, once again taken away from her home and friends. While the crown prince couldn’t be less interested in her, she begins a forbidden relationship with his younger brother. The book continues with Violet navigating this new relationship with its obvious imbalance of power and which is a genuine risk to her life should the pair be discovered.
I enjoyed this audiobook, although I was surprised how late into the book the pair meet, there is a lot of story before that point. The main character goes on quite a journey from the entitled heiress to a life of servitude and doesn’t always make the best choices along the way. She is flawed and not always likeable but you find yourself rooting for her and her relationship.
I am looking forward to the next instalment as I am keen to see what the future holds for Violet.
