Publisher's summary

Drax. Colt. Finn.

The three vampire bad boys that have been terrorizing the night life of this city since they were old enough to know what a party was. On top of being insanely rich and handsomely supernatural there's one more thing that makes them untouchable - they're next in line to rule this city.

For the last hundred years humans have been at the bottom of the food chain since the rise of supernaturals, and in our city vampires rule the roost.

Divided into three different triads, each section of the city has a vampire governor who is fit to do as he pleases.

Drax, Colt, and Finn are next in line for those thrones.

To keep their subjects in line every five years they do a purge where every adult man is fair game for any vampire to feed on for 24 hours. To determine which triads need to participate in the purge and which one will be exempt, three people from each triad are summoned to partake in a sick and twisted game to survive. The winner gets to guarantee safety for their community.

The losers die.

For years I had kept my head down, followed every triad law, and focused on keeping my mother alive. But an announcement that women will now be included in the summoning turns my world upside down.

The first person to be summoned from triad three is me.

I came into this prepared to fight for my life, but what I didn't expect was the city's supernatural playboys' attraction to me.

In the Vampire Trials only one thing matters to me - getting home to my mom. And when I say I'd do anything to get there, I mean it.

But piece by piece the trials chip away at who I thought I was and what I thought I knew about supernaturals.

The worst part? I love it.

Fast paced and keeps you wanting more!

I found the author of this book on TickTok and just had to try it out. Absolutely amazing! Fast paced story with love interests like no other. I found myself rooting for the characters and really getting into the book.

Loved it

Very well written character and that cliffhanger!!! It’s not your typical harem and the people have personality and that makes them alluring.

not enough emotional connection

While I liked the story line, I felt the emotional connections with the characters were lacking. I would have liked to have a bit more build up between the main character and her lovers.

Loved the story

Loved the story, enjoyed the heroine, and her backstory. I would like some variation in voices from the narrator.

Ruined a really good story line

The author rushed the story along giving it no substance. Literally she meets these guys and the next morning they basically declare their devotion to her, then after not even 48 hours the MFC keeps describing the male characters traits as if she has know them for years. Honestly I loved the concept but someone else should have wrote it.

Also, the narrator sounded like she was 12 years old, and half way through sounded like she was in a tunnel. However, I do think her male english accent was well done.

I don't like to write negative reviews but I am so disappointed that such a good story concept could be done so badly. Not worth the credit.

Rate 2.5

Rushed

The relationships feel a bit rushed. There wasn't enough time to build an emotional attachment to the characters before she was on to the next. There was so much build up to the main event, but the "trials" seemed very lack luster in comparison to the focus on the relationships.

enjoyable

A thoroughly enjoyable book. The narrator was a pleasure to listen and brought the story to life. The main character was likable and the supporting characters were likable as well. I love the reverse harem idea. The ending definitely left me wanting more. I can't wait for the next book.
