After reading The Butcher’s Daughter prequel, I was eager to see how Jack’s twisted affair with three vampires would unfold. As she struggles with her vow for revenge upon the vampire that could have saved her father’s life, Jack finds herself desperately attracted to him even though he invades her thoughts. Navigating her new normal—managing the family butcher shop after her father’s death—Jack enters a relationship with the vampire who has been helping her prepare for vengeance. But her life takes a more complicated turn when another vampire from her past resurfaces, seeking reconciliation. 

This book may not dive deep into world-building, but it shines with its complex, morally gray characters. A fast-paced read driven by lust and desire, it explores the inner turmoil of its main characters, who find a sense of solace in one another—except for Elias, of course. I wish we had more insight into Elias’s perspective or a deeper storyline into his past from his POV. His dramatic reentry into the vampire world felt a bit abrupt, lacking the context and thorough explanation it deserved. Honestly, I think I would have enjoyed exploring that storyline more than the love triangle between Jack and the vampires. That said, don’t get me wrong—I’m all for a spicy vampire romance!

If you enjoy why-choose romances, overprotective MMCs, vampires, or reverse harems, this is a must-read!
