About this book

She swore to destroy vampires. Fate bound her to them instead.

Mel Plata has become the city's most feared vampire hunter — a lethal, lightning-wielding witch who makes bloodsuckers pay for her mother's murder.

She works alone. She trusts no one. Then a mission she cannot refuse changes everything.

Forced into an unholy alliance with three dangerously seductive vampires, Mel must fight alongside the very monsters she swore to kill.

The team leader is Hudson — her first love, the man who chose to shatter her heart a decade ago to keep his secret.

His twin brother Jackson is somehow worse: warm, charming, and easy to trust… which makes him the most dangerous vampire of all.

Then there's Nico, all sculpted silence and barely leashed hunger, whose dark gaze tracks her every move like she's already his prey.

But as they fight side by side, their magic entwines with a harmony that contradicts everything Mel was taught about vampires.

When corrupt allies turn traitor and her bloodthirsty enemies become something far more tempting, Mel faces the most dangerous choice of her life:

Will she bind her soul to the very vampires she once swore to destroy?

A Match Made in Hell is the first book of the complete trilogy, Bound to the Vampires. This dark romantasy series bleeds paranormal into fantasy romance, where demonic realms tear open into the modern world, blood rituals forge unbreakable bonds, vampire bites ignite forbidden desire, and four broken misfits come together into one found family. The men will fight to earn her love, and she will choose them all.

Perfect for romantasy fans who thirst for:

A fierce heroine who never needs saving Enemies to lovers with real emotional stakes Slow burn that ignites into scorching heat Second chance romance with devastating history Blood bonds, dark magic, and forbidden attraction Witches, vampires, and demons in an epic world at war

I very much enjoyed this book. I will be reading the next one. It had good imagery, character development, and a good plot. Plenty of mystery kept me interested, and i love the world building. I would have given it a 5 star. My only criticism is for the repeativness that happened - taking out some repeat information would make this book a couple of pages shorter. ) 2 people found this helpful

Good story

My favorite tv series when I was growing up was Buffy the vampire slayer, so when I came across this book I was excited that not only do I get a vampire slayer but also a why choose book.

When she meets someone from her past she starts to question everything she knows and we get an enemies to lovers...

4🍁 | 🌶️ I didn’t think i would enjoy it as much as i did. And i’m only stopping to write this review before i jump to book 2 just so i don’t forget the main points. It was a fun read and the twist of the vampires (how they are turned) and their relationship with witches was definitely something new and interesting to read. Either the magic system is explained more in author’s other books or it’s just not detailed. I did get a general understanding but it seemed like the magic system was not...
