This is just pure SMUT. 
The beginning was so promising. 
Dark, mysterious, vampires and victims.. 
It had all the promises of a good book. 
And then : rape, sex, rape, sex, chapter after chapter. Up to a point I asked myself if this was porn ? 
I love the way they brought the LGBTQ+ community in to the story. 
But the story itself wasn’t worth it
I was ready to give 3 stars with a good ending, but even that was worse !
Sorry : not my kind of read
