Vampires just doing vampy things, it’s always going to be a hard yes from me!

This is an erotic horror book that follows Will, a centuries-old vampire and a human called Ehvy who has been dreaming about him for many years. The two meet somewhat by chance when Ehvy follows an enticing smell whilst on a tour at Will’s stately home; little does Ehvy know that the enticing smell is in fact the scent of fresh blood after Will has been torturing his latest victim.

For context of just how vicious and bloodthirsty the vampires are in A Thing Divine, one of the content warnings for this book is for destructive fisting… yep, what comes to mind when you first read that, yes, that is very much a scene from this book. This is a book that revels in the scenes of extreme gore and mutilation just as much as the spicy scenes and sometimes the two cross over in a very delicious way.

This is a book that is not going to be everybody’s cup of tea but for those that like to read books where the “villain” is so morally grey, Anish Kapoor wants to secure the exclusive rights to them, this is going to really tickle your brain. I really enjoyed how unapologetically vicious Will was throughout this book and it was enjoyable to see a mini corruption arc for Ehvy throughout the story.

This is a book that has a HFN as things are left quite open whether Ehvy and Will may destroy one another or do horrid things together for the rest of their lives. I think this was the perfect place to end this story as it fit with the rest of the narrative but it also leaves the door cracked open to the possibility of more from them in the future.
