About this listen

Plucked out of the Collector’s Pens, auctioned off to a vampire contingent, and sent across the ocean to the Alpha Territories was not exactly how I planned to spend my week.

Actually, scratch that. I had planned the first bit. But I was supposed to be sold to the werewolves so I could save my friend from a fate worse than death. Instead, the bloodsuckers have me and so far? It's not going great. I've been shoved into a corset and made to look like an extra on the cast of Bridgerton, all to take part in the Harvest Games—think The Bachelor set in the 1800s, but the men are all vampires, and then add a decidedly terrifying Squid Games element to the mix.

No problem.

My goal—besides keeping the number of holes in my body to the current norm—is more than surviving. It is escaping the inescapable, finding my way to the werewolf territory, and getting Jordan back.

Cue the political strife.

Armed with nothing more than a super sharp hairpin, my questionable charm, and an irrational amount of optimism, plans to get both me and my bestie out alive are in full swing.

Until the General of the Vampire Army and his molten eyes light me on fire and leave me wondering if escape is what I want after all.

Maybe one extra set of holes wouldn’t be the worst thing ever....

Bought the second book in less than 5 minutes after finishing this one

Heroine who keeps her wits about her, magic, sexy vampires and intriguing politics. The spice adds to the plot and only made the story more intriguing. I absolutely love that the heroine isn’t dumb in love and doesn’t lose sight of her plans.

Great New Series!!!

This is a new series by Shannon Mayer.

This book sucks you in from page one….

I didn’t know what to expect from this book, we didn’t have a lot of plot information before reading.

However, I should not have worried… Everything Shannon Mayer writes is EXCELLENT!!!

This book is new, exciting, hot, and has the potential to be one of my new favorite series.

More Than Just A Girl

It was a good story but it seemed a little too smutty. The actors were good and Edward was a devious character you loved to hate. Dominic was a nice suave on the cast of characters because he knew how to work around Edward. Except for the end.

Great start, wonderful world

I really liked the way this new world is built. The tension between Sienna and Dominic is on fire from the beginning. I do expect lots of twists and turns to follow after this great introduction. I hope I can get my hands on part two soon.

Amazing first in series

Wow. Just wow. A new series from a favorite author. I couldn’t stop listening. It starts with the main character letting herself get caught in a trap, but things go sideways from there. This book has it all, great characters, sexual tension, vampires, werewolves, and more. This series hooked me from the first chapter and I can’t wait for more.

spicy and interesting

This is honestly the kind of fantasy and naughty book I've been looking for! it recreates the feelings I had reading Twilight in my youth but much better written and more for the adult mind. great job! I can't wait for the others.

The vampire Dark Romance We don’t deserve

I’m so glad this is like the film The Invitation if she chose to go to the Vampire. I love it!

Another strange world reality

Sienna who is full of secrets is trying to rescue a friend Jordan who was sent to work with the werewolves. No reason is determined why she is so hellbent on getting captured but because they the werewolves skipped their chance to get women (some deal the humans were left with after a supernatural war) she is been sold to the vampires bought by the general. The general, Dominic is illegitimate and that means although he has status he is under Edmund’s or Will’s leadership. Dominic and Sienna lust after each other but resist their attraction. This first in the series drops you into this world without a lot of explanation
