About this book
The vampire prince has never claimed a human. Until now.
My whole life I’ve been nothing but a means to an end; livestock kept caged for the production of blood. I’ve stared through fences at the promise of freedom countless times, but the only way anyone escapes this hell is in the hands of a bloodsucker.
The annual testing is about to begin, and those who pass are never seen again. So f--k that. My twin and I decided to risk it all. To run before the royals could claim us.
Turns out, that dream expired fast. Because when an original vampire decides to own you, there’s nowhere in this ruined world left to escape to.
I’m at his mercy now, trapped in his castle, destined to become his creature, and forced into a dangerous game of rivalry between the seductive vampire princes.
His beauty is a weapon I wasn’t prepared for, his cruelty a bane that strikes fear in the hearts of all, and his company a sin I’m going to spend my life repenting.
I need to get back to my sister, but she’s caught in a trap of her own, tangled up with the last slayer to walk this earth and following his path towards vengeance. She’s at his mercy too, the man with violence tattooed across his skin, death trailing his footsteps as he stalks his prey - who just so happen to be the royal vampires who hold me captive.
The gods are toying with us all, placing my twin and I on opposite sides of an ancient war. And in the end, I fear there won’t be any victors left standing.
So I’m going to play a game of my own, let my captor use me as his puppet until I find my moment to strike.
Let this hell-born ritual of lust, lies and blood begin.
This is a dark, fantasy romance series by the authors of Zodiac Academy with all the enemies to lovers vibes – don’t go expecting a sweet vampire with sparkling skin and a tendency to watch you sleeping. These vampires are savage and bloodthirsty, and the slayer who hunts them will stab first and ask questions later.
This war-torn fantasy world is a brutal bich and only those 18+ have a chance at surviving the darkness lurking in the audio. There’s no well-meaning vampires snacking on Bambies instead of babies, and if they get their teeth into you, you’ll be damn lucky to escape with your life and panties intact. So grab hold of your slayer blade (wooden stakes have too many splinters) and get ready to defy the gods, because this is going to be one helluva ride.

Excellent storyline. The world controlled by vampires after a World War 3 almost wiped out most humans. Humans were imprisoned in realms (apocalyptic prison camps). The two FMC characters are twins, separated after failed escape attempt. The rest of the book is their struggles to find each other & their father. The two MMC are assisting or hindering their attempts. The characters are believable and starting to be fleshed out. The MFCs are spunky, smart, and strong willed. Well written...

Eternal Reign by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti is a thrilling and captivating start to the Age of Vampires series. From the very first page, the authors plunge the reader into a dark and dangerous world where humans are nothing more than livestock for vampires. The story follows Callie, a courageous protagonist who, along with her twin sister, Montana, decides to defy the annual testing that only leads to disappearance. Their attempt to escape takes an unexpected turn when Montana is...

Just finished Eternal Reign!! Wow, what a ride!! This could be on the bigscreen!! The gandour of it all, the depth of detail, and the oh so naughty girls I love, Callie and Monty!! I can't get enough of any of it. Let me say, though that I can clearly see that males are not the intended audience of these books as they are from a pair of female leads who share quite detailed observations of their male counterparts. For me though, it was neutral enough to still be a turn on for me. Feeling how...

There's quite a bit missing from this book. Sites, sounds, smell, emotion. It's almost as though it's there, but it's also not. I'm not sure how to explain it. Some things are detailed, but most you don't really feel in this book. The conflict is alright. The characters... could be more real, more emotionally written through the pages. The constant back and forth between Callie and Magmar or whatever the guys name is isn't written very well at all. There's no reasoning between it. One second,...

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the world, the introduction to the characters and what might they become. I love that we see the twins be strong but vulnerable too sometimes and I can't wait to see what's it's store for them. )
