About this book
Ophelia Hart is an orphan who has spent her life dreaming of a future as a social worker, far away from the loneliness of her past. When an unexpected scholarship to the prestigious Montridge University arrives, she believes her luck has finally turned. However, she quickly discovers that the ivy-covered halls hide a terrifying truth: the campus is a hunting ground for the powerful and ruthless Ruby Dragon Society.
This dark paranormal romance pulls you into a world of ancient secrets and blood-soaked legacies. Ophelia is thrust into a dangerous game when she captures the obsession of the society’s three arrogant commanders and their enigmatic, lethal sire, Professor Alexandros Drakos. As she is unwillingly initiated into their world, Ophelia must grapple with a terrifying transformation that threatens to shatter everything she thought she knew about reality.
Featuring the addictive tropes of dark academia, bully romance, and a high-stakes reverse harem, this story is as fast-paced as it is seductive. It is a gripping tale of a newborn vampire struggling to survive in a landscape where power is the only currency. If you crave intense chemistry, morally grey anti-heroes, and a supernatural mystery that keeps you turning pages deep into the night, this series is your next obsession.

Multiple 1st person pov, Montridge University, somewhere in the US, I think. Sort of a HEA, though leaving plenty of questions for the next book, but not a true cliffhanger. 3-4 peppers spice, tiny bit of kink, and a few triggers.

Ophelia, orphaned literally before birth, discovers she has a trust fund set up to go to Montridge University specifically, not...

📖 I just devoured Forged in Blood! I picked it up and literally couldn’t put it down—I flew through it in record time. That alone shows how addictive and fast-paced the plot is!

But I keep reminding myself that it’s fiction, not real 😅 🎧 Also, the audiobook was fantastic and made the whole experience even...

In this intriguing novel, I found myself drawn into the fascinating storyline and captivating plot, which kept me turning the pages eagerly. The author expertly weaves romance and smut in a way that's engaging and satisfying, offering a balance that many readers will undoubtedly appreciate. However, my journey through the story wasn't without its challenges. While I understand the author's intent to create suspense and maintain an air of mystery, I felt that too much crucial information was...
