A STANDALONE DARK ROMANCE
From New York Times bestselling author Karina Halle comes a dark and delicious Dracula retelling filled with secrets and lies, dangerous liaisons and a forbidden, student-teacher, second chance love story with a twist.

"My heart will always find yours."

Dahlia Abernathy has only known revenge. When her parents were killed at an early age by vampires, Dahlia spent the rest of her life under the thumb of the Witch's Guild being trained to kill them. Her latest mission sends her undercover to a prestigious music academy in Venice, Italy. Her goal? To kill Professor Valtu Aminoff, her teacher and the notorious vampire who inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula.

But getting close to a dangerous vampire like Professor Aminoff is one thing. Falling for him is another. With Dahlia's appearance disguised under a glamor spell, Valtu has no idea that the woman who has become his new dark obsession is actually the reincarnation of the woman he loved and lost twice before.

And Dahlia doesn't remember that the very man she has been sent to kill is the love of her life.

Will their love come through and transcend time once again? Or are the fated lovers destined to let history repeat itself?

Blood Orange is a modern-day Dracula retelling about the "real-life" Dracula that inspired Bram Stoker. This is a dark vampire romance with plenty of content warnings (please check interior of book for extensive list as it is +++++spicy). It is a complete standalone (AKA you do not need to read any other books prior).

Wieder mal komplett überzeugt. Vampir und Hexe, das kann nicht gut gehen oder doch? Im Buch konnte man sich die ganze Zeit über denken, was ungefähr zum Schluss des ersten Teils passiert und doch kam es am Ende noch mal ganz anders. Ich war echt überrascht und hab keine Sekunde damit gerechnet. Umso gespannt bin ich nun auf Band 2. Fand das Buch auch wieder sehr spannend auch wenn sie die Spannung nicht dauerhaft durch das Buch gezogen hat? Hat es der Geschichte kein Abbruch getan.

Typisches „I need to kill you, but.. „ Buch. Hat mich ganz gut unterhalten, obwohl die Charaktere schon eher blass sind. Enthält ordentlich Spice und mit dem Ende macht es auf jeden Fall Lust auf mehr.

Eine Story mit Biss

Ein sehr schönes Dracula-Retelling! Es spielt im herbstlichen Venedig und ist mal wieder, à la Karina Halle, mysteriös, düster, spicy und aufregend. Es liest sich wieder wie von selbst . Das Ende kam doch sehr unerwartet und mit vielen Emotionen, fange sofort mit Band 2 an.

Definitely not a book for me. I actually thought I would like it but I didn’t. The characters were pretty bland. The ending is awful (to me) and i won’t read the second book.

Hat mich sehr gut unterhalten und hatte neben ganz viel Spice auch eine Handlung, was ich sehr schätze. Den Twist am Ende habe ich nicht kommen sehen und freue mich auf den zweiten Teil.

Fand die Story an sich ganz gut auch spannend hatte für meinen Geschmack aber etwas zu viel spice. Hätte lieber etwas mehr von der eigentlichen Story gelesen als all diese s*xszenen😅

Just… A ton of smut, with two characters with zero chemistry. This book was so WILD, because it wanted to do and tell so much, that it managed to be a complete mess by the end of it. Skimmed through the last third.

I am sorry, but it just wasn't well written at all. I get why some people might have enjoyed it, sometimes all you need is a spicy romance staring your toxic childhood fantasy crush that helps you to shut off your brain.. but even then I feel like you would want it to be a little better written than some Wattpad fan fic. Sex scenes don't make a book a good one. There is not that much of a story. The characters are pretty shallow and have pretty much zero development throughout the book. The spicy scenes were really spicy, I will give her that, but sadly just kinda felt like the script to a porn movie. I do enjoy hot scenes! There are some really good ones in literature, but these were just not it. Way too over the top, too many, too much, too everything. All in all it seemed a little like the author just wrote down some of her (unrealistic)sex fantasies and tried to connect them through a little bit of plot. Would not recommend. If you want good spice, there a definitely wayyy better options.
