Description
Remy Pendergast is many things: the only son of the Duke of Valenbonne (though his father might wish otherwise), an elite bounty hunter of rogue vampires, and an outcast among his fellow Reapers. His mother was the subject of gossip even before she eloped with a vampire, giving rise to the rumors that Remy is half-vampire himself. Though the kingdom of Aluria barely tolerates him, Remy’s father has been shaping him into a weapon to fight for the kingdom at any cost.
When a terrifying new breed of vampire is sighted outside of the city, Remy prepares to investigate alone. But then he encounters the shockingly warmhearted vampire heiress Xiaodan Song and her infuriatingly arrogant fiancé, vampire lord Zidan Malekh, who may hold the key to defeating the creatures—though he knows associating with them won’t do his reputation any favors. When he’s offered a spot alongside them to find the truth about the mutating virus Rot that’s plaguing the kingdom, Remy faces a choice.
It’s one he’s certain he’ll regret.
But as the three face dangerous hardships during their journey, Remy develops fond and complicated feelings for the couple. He begins to question what he holds true about vampires, as well as the story behind his own family legacy. As the Rot continues to spread across the kingdom, Remy must decide where his loyalties lie: with his father and the kingdom he’s been trained all his life to defend or the vampires who might just be the death of him.

I had a rough start with this one. It took me almost two hundred pages to get into it. Until then it was confusing and full of info-dumping and name-dropping, felt like starting with the second book in a series. In fact, I checked if I accidentally did. It had just too many characters, places and concepts that weren't properly introduced. I couldn't really connect with the characters and for a long time Zidan Malekh was the only one that kept my interest (him, I did like a lot!). Then, something happened that took me by surprise: I started to feel the tension between the three main characters. When I selected this book, knowing that a poly relationship would be part of it, I was unsure if it would work for me. I have never read that before and thought It wouldn't be for me - I don't like anything "why-choose" -, but I wanted to give it a try anyway and in here, for me, it worked, so I will give other poly stories on my tbr a chance as well. Unfortunately I did not like Remy. For me, he was really annoying and I could only feel the love between Zidan and Xiaodan. I didn't understand why they cared about Remy or he about them, other than physical attraction. And honestly, he did add nothing to that relationship. The plot sparked my interest round about page 300, which is way too late. I thought, I'd read till the end but I haven't picked up the book in months so I'm calling it a dnf for now. If you have read the ending or even book two, let me know if it's wort holding on to them.
