Synopsis

Today is the day that will set my life on the path I was born to take… Only my true destiny is nothing that I could have ever imagined in my wildest dreams.I’m Delia Adams, daughter of one of the greatest slayers to have ever come out of Mallory Falls. I’ve been beaten down, broken, and told I wasn’t good enough while training to follow in his footsteps, but here I stand, ready to embark on my first mission.The problem? I’ve been tasked with killing the vampire king of Velum Mortis. Yeah, it kind of feels like I’m being set up to fail, but still, I push on. My only saving grace is that the king was cursed years ago and has been sleeping ever since. An easy target, so I’m told.I listened as they told me where to find him, but I already knew. He’d been calling to me for years, only I didn’t know he was the reason I’d gone to that cemetery hidden deep in the woods time after time.Now, standing in front of the slumbering king, desperate to prove myself, I prepare to shove my sword right through his heart, ending him, and claiming my first victory. But I can’t help but look at him, taking in the beauty and strength in his features and wonder why I’ve been so drawn to him.I’m a slayer. He’s a vampire. It’s my duty to kill him.So then why is the urge to abandon my mission and kiss him so damn strong?

a quick rush to the ending I typically enjoy this author’s books. Several are on my reread list. But this one was just OK. The story had potential but the author seemed to want to keep it light and fluffy instead. Too much time spent in dialogue between some characters that was too long and caused th......more

Um...it's as though there were plot/storyline milestones that were simply presented to be checked off. And the repetitive dialogues...(view spoiler)[You're the vessel! I can't be! You're to fulfill the prophesy! I can't! You must defeat Sableth! I don't know how! If you don't, we all die! (hide spoiler)] ...rinse and repeat. I didn......more

Goodreads review by Emily on April 22, 2024

Just ok I really like several of this author’s previous books but you can tell they haven’t written much paranormal/urban fantasy. The pacing felt really rushed and anticlimactic. I thought for sure until around 80% that the book was the beginning of a series and would end on a cliffhanger. A ton of......more
