Erica Stevens: Captured

So, imagine that about one hundred years ago the vampires won the war with humans and now you are either their slave (living in relative comfort, having a job, food to eat but also blood to let) or you are a part of rebellion (so you live like a savage in the woods with empty belly, trying to figure out how to put the vampire kingdom down, hoping the raids will not catch you because that would make you a blood slave).

The story follows a 17-year-old girl (mental eyeroll) who gets captured and by a miracle isn't passed on to be a slave to some lowly cruel vampire but to a very old (over 900 years) old vampire prince. He represents everything she hates, she represents lowly creature designed only for his cruel play. But somehow they become caring for one another (mental eyeroll). Honestly, I'm sick of these virgins who are basically still children to play main roles. I find it disturbing that such an old vampire would like a child. And have more that fatherly feelings for a child. Can't someone just write something more logical? Why can't we shrug off the virgins and unicorns cliché? It's been put into so many books that a change is definitely needed. This would have been such a good read otherwise!

And then the cliffhanger. Pardon me if I'm not into never-ending series but I'm just not gonna sit here and wait for a trilogy which will later be prolonged into pentalogy and more. Just no. 

If the world it's set in was more elaborated on, it would have been a great piece. It's scary and dark and I love it but need more info about it. But as you can see, I've used way to many IFs so it's not going to get better rating than three vampire kisses.

GENRE: cruel romance

FANGS OUT: it reads so well but lacks further descriptions to be awesome
FANGS RETRACTING: cliffhanger, way too cliché-ish
