When her sister June disappears, Kidan is convinced their family’s vampire—cruel, captivating Susenyos Sagad—took her. To get June back, Kidan infiltrates Uxlay University, a secretive magic school where elite human heirs study a philosophy that governs vampire–human power, and she’s forced to live in House Adane alongside the monster she plans to kill. As murders rock the campus and a centuries-old threat surfaces, Kidan must decide whether to destroy Uxlay and Susenyos…or embrace the darkness, bloody magic, and violently romantic bond growing between them.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1374\" data-end=\"1695\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrope\/Mood:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1389\" data-end=\"1392\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack vampires; dark academia; magic university; enemies to lovers (very extreme); forced proximity \/ housemates; morally gray, vicious heroine + equally vicious love interest; missing sister \/ revenge mystery; heavy violence, blood, and obsession; dark, sinister, slow burn and high-angst romantasy.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-center\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-hidden=\"true\" data-edge=\"true\" class=\"pointer-events-none h-px w-px\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41902157561959,"sku":"9780316570398","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/9859\/5175\/files\/41d533fb66bdd51550ba7f9de76a6f8974110ed904dde674698ed8948e25fef7.jpg?v=1763560766"},{"product_id":"that-time-i-got-drunk-and-saved-a-demon","title":"That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"68\" data-end=\"122\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"70\" data-end=\"122\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"125\" data-end=\"155\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: Kimberly Lemming\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"218\" data-end=\"292\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: Romantasy \/ Fantasy Romance – Monster Romance, Quest Rom-com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"295\" data-end=\"329\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Rating: ⭐8\/10\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"402\" data-end=\"435\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpicy Rating🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️5\/5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"440\" data-end=\"566\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"569\" data-end=\"1022\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"585\" data-end=\"588\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCinnamon “Cin” just wants a quiet life running her family spice farm—until she stumbles home wine-drunk, accidentally frees the chained demon Fallon, and gets dragged into his quest to kill the evil witch enslaving his people.

One that bleeds darkness and feeds on the damned. When he’s tasked to become the priest in Festivalé, Vermont—a town both beautiful in architecture and riddled with despair—his sickness sings, demanding he rid the place of evil. Amaya Paquette is Festivalé’s beautiful mystery. She spends her days caring for her younger brother and her nights transforming into Esmeralda, dancing for greedy eyes and shameless lips. Although she longs for love, she shies away from companionship, afraid of being abandoned again. When Father Cade lays eyes on Amaya, he finds himself ensnared, convinced she’s using witchcraft to lure him to her. He can’t eat. Can’t breathe. Can’t think unless it’s of her.
