Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

Katee Robert delivers a compact, scorching vampire reverse harem that wastes no pages getting to the point. The power dynamics between Mina and her three vampires crackle with tension, and the worldbuilding hints at a much darker universe beneath the surface.
