My first dystopian paranormal romance and I loved it!

I must stress to you, please read the triggers. This was my first dystopian novel and I loved it. It was strange and a little weird, but I became fascinated with it. A world where the supernatural are the dominant species and humans are reduced to food sources and a means of entertainment.

Darius is a vampire who attends an action for a human blood slave (a routine event for the upper-class vampire society). There, he purchases Juliet, a human who is kept a virgin and trained from birth to be the perfect blood slave. She is educated and trained to be the perfect "pet" for a vampire of the highest bidder. After being purchased by Darius, she expects to be used and passed around at his request and leisure. What she doesn't know if that Darius has a plan to deprogram Juliet and "free" her in his crusade to rid the world of the barbaric practice of human slavery.

I loved watching Juliet "unlearn" everything she was taught. At times, I wanted to cry for Juliet and hug her. There were also times when Darius made me so angry, I wanted to reach into my Kindle and kick him, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the method behind his madness, and I enjoyed watching them both develop strong feelings for each other. My only complaint is that this story wasn't longer!

This book was excellent. I highly recommend!

Happy Reading!
