Human or vampire, the rules of survival are the same: never trust, never yield, and always – always – guard your heart.

The adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king, Oraya carved her place in a world designed to kill her. Her only chance to become something more than prey is entering the Kejari: a legendary tournament held by the goddess of death herself.

But winning won’t be easy amongst the most vicious warriors from all three vampire houses. To survive, Oraya is forced to make an alliance with a mysterious rival.

Everything about Raihn is dangerous. He is a ruthless vampire, an efficient killer, an enemy to her father’s crown… and her greatest competition. Yet, what terrifies Oraya most of all is that she finds herself oddly drawn to him.

But there’s no room for compassion in the Kejari. War for the House of Night brews, shattering everything that Oraya thought she knew about her home. And Raihn may understand her more than anyone – but their blossoming attraction could be her downfall, in a kingdom where nothing is more deadly than love.

 

Calling all fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses ! When I tell you that you need to pick up The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent…I am not kidding. This book is perfect for people who just wanted a bit more world-building and plot that maybe ACOTAR did not give you. Have no fear, the romance is still there!

I am fairly picky when it comes to a good vampire fantasy romance, and this book did not leave me disappointed at all. The Serpent and the Wings of Night is a great choice for all of you fantasy lovers and gives us all the tropes and themes that we are looking for. We’ve got vampires, curses, enemies to lovers, strong female main character lead, cliff-hangers, and of course…plot twists! Overall, this book was a solid 4.6/5 for me, and I am looking forward to reading the sequel, The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King.

If you have already read The Serpent and the Wings of Night a few other great series would be Crave by Tracy Wolff, Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead, and A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas.
