About this item

From Elle Mae comes a spicy sapphic vampire romance set in the world of Contract Bound with all new characters and a romance between a cruel vampire princess and a cold hunter who come face to face after a prophecy foretells the princess's death by the hunter's hands.

Vesper

My entire life had been decided by a prophecy.

Born into a family proficient in killing every type of supernatural being on the planet, there was only one path for me. But when it finally came to fulfill the prophecy, I found myself face to face with the most cruel yet breathtaking creature I had ever come to know.

The same one I was supposed to kill. Yet how is it when every time I try, she's always one step ahead of me?

Aurelia

My father had turned me into a monster.

A cruel, unbreaking force that laughed in the face of all those who stood to face me.

And then he went and sold me to a bastard Prince who wanted to see nothing more than my own downfall. All while trying everything my later mother worked so hard to build.

And then she came.

She would have been a beautiful break in the constant downpour that had been my life... if she hadn't gone and ruined it all by putting her nose where it didn't belong. But I would pay it back in full, and maybe even have some fun while I was at it.

Note: all TW will be on the author's website.

This is NOT a continuation of Contract Bound but is set in the same world far in the future after the downfall of The Order and the regaining of power of vampire royalty.

I really enjoyed this book. The story was well executed, and the writing was phenomenal. The main characters were likable even though they were on the gray side morally. And the spice was top-notch. Two thumbs up ????

Damn. Why did I read a book that does not have the series complete? Bloody cliffhanger and waiting til 2025 is giving me an eye twitch.

Well, the MCs are a mess- a mess you'll learn to love by the end. Great plot, but wish I knew what comes of these two right now! There's a part where they say "get the car" and it threw my brain for a loop. Prophecy princess, arranged marriage etc- thought I was somewhere in the 15th century and that car comment made me laugh because it jarred me back to the present. Overall, fun little vampy/hunter fiction to sink your teeth into.

3/5⭐
2/5 ????
i thoroughly enjoyed this one, but it definitely isn't a favorite of mine. i thought the plot line was really cool and interesting, and i was super excited to read my first FF romance, but this one just kinda fell flat for me. i found myself super confused at times, and wish some things were explained more than they were. the world building didn't build enough, if that makes sense, which kinda made the entire book confusing.

i wish i could have enjoyed this more, but it just wasn't for me, and that's okay! i did really enjoy some parts of this! the morally grey characters, the romance, the tension. everything was there to be an amazing book had the plot been less confusing.

read if you like:
-enemies to lovers
-vampire x vampire hunter
-FF
-dual pov
-prophecy to fulfill
-secrets and betrayals

Omg I can’t believe I have to wait until 2025 for book 2. I am going to be haunted for a whole year about Aurelia’s fate. I am so damn sad over the ending of book 1. I seriously want to cry I wasn’t expecting it ???????? but to all the readers who haven’t read this, it is so worth it , it’s such a good story, excellent writing add it to your library and hold off until the second book is published or read it now, if I would of known I would of waited for book 2

4.0 out of 5 stars Great setup, magnetic read, lots of potential! Come on book two!!

4⭐️ - a “consultant” (a.k.a. Hunter) in turmoil over hating but desiring a vampire princess. Great setup, interesting plot (so far), and untapped potential when coupled with the introduction of witches and prophecies. All of those elements I loved and of course the writing well done, so if you like a good vampire book, you should read it.

Fair warning though that there are a LOT of plot gaps, loose ends that never get tied together and a cliffhanger“ending” that will make you groan!! I’m hooding out hope that book 2 will pull it all together!

Absolutely love Elle Mae and her writing. I’m literally so excited for the sequel because that ending is honestly crazy and I NEED to know what happens now.
