About this book
A vampire hunter goes undercover at a mysterious university—and finds herself falling in love with her roommate, an alluring vampire, in book one of a seductive sapphic paranormal fantasy.
“A thrilling and addictive adventure, this debut tackles all my favorite vampire tropes and makes them new again.”—Kamilah Cole, Lodestar Award finalist and bestselling author of the Divine Traitors duology
“Then her red eyes are on mine, gentle, deadly. . . . She takes her time, kissing my neck. . . . I pull her closer, and I say, Bite me.”
In the mists of the Scottish Highlands is a university where vampires study alongside humans.
Rebecca Charity is a vampire hunter undercover at the university, searching for the mysterious Book of Blood and Roses, a lost compendium of ways to kill vampires. If she finds it, she’ll be one step closer to avenging her parents, who were slain by those creatures of the night.
But when Rebecca arrives, she finds something unexpected: a coffin. Her new roommate is Aliz Astra, scion of one of the most powerful vampire families . . . and the most beautiful woman Rebecca has ever met.
The maddeningly gorgeous Aliz is everything that Rebecca has always hated but also everything she’s ever wanted, and now Rebecca doesn’t know if she wants to kiss or kill her.
When one moonlit night Aliz rescues her from a vampire attack, she accidentally makes Rebecca her Familiar. Now they must work together to break the curse—but as they get closer to solving the mystery, Rebecca and Aliz get closer, too.
Can a vampire hunter ever fall in love with a vampire?
★ “[A] sexy and exhilarating debut . . . Summerlee’s worldbuilding is skillful and immersive, taking the classic setup of a supernatural boarding school in exciting new directions, and the tension-filled relationship between the leads keeps the pages flying.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

First book I've picked up in a while. Ended up finishing it in one day because I couldn't put it down )

This one really surprised me. I really enjoyed it! I don’t think Ive read another book where a vampire can have a familiar. And that wasn’t the only twist to the story. I liked that the story had a lot of character growth for the main character and tied it into the plot twist at the end. I feel like this wrapped up quite nicely but with enough lingering questions to set us up for book two. This was my first sapphic romance and I will definitely be adding more into my collection. I wasn’t sure...

Tropey college romantasy. Sapphic enemies-to-lovers vampire hunter/vampire romance. The vampire love interest is only 24 though so no creepy age difference there. And it's not REALLY enemies-to-lovers. The vampire Aliz doesn't have any animosity towards the MC Rebecca, and Rebecca is hot for her very quickly. But honestly no judgment... I'd be down bad for my white haired masc roommate with nice suits. She could bite my neck too, who cares It's binge-able, it's smutty, the worldbuilding is...
