My review:

I’ll start off by saying this is not my typical genre, and I mean all of them ~ fantasy, monsters and paranormal, but I didn’t hate it.

Scarlett is forced to blood sign a contract because her mother is ill and her father needs the money the arranged marriage will bring.
Cain is the king and a dream eater.

Sabre is a prince in his world and in a secret relationship with Cage ~ both are vampires.

Most of the book takes place in a dream realm. That’s where most of the steamage is, too, which did make it somewhat of a slow burn before they meet. It was hard to decipher between dream and reality. I didn’t really mind any of the main characters, but I wanted more from them together in the real world quite honestly.

From what I gather some of these characters were introduced in another book, so I hate that I feel like I missed what’s the what and who’s the who.

Overall, as I said I didn’t hate it, and I’m glad I have it a whirl because you never know unless you try. Also, happy I listened because I probably wouldn’t have been as interested had I read it as it seems way too long for me.

Narration notes:
Whoop whoop for a full cast narration in duet form 🙌 They all did great! Every dual/multi POV audio should be like this!

Series notes:
This is a shared world multi author series and I’m not sure how other books in the series tie in. There were some bonus scenes from this author and other author’s books. This is in the audio version, not sure if in the book, too.

I’d love to hear your thoughts if you’ve read it.

Book blurb:

Three sexy vampires haunt my dreams, and they love to make me scream.
For all the right reasons.

A dark TikTok-viral vampire romance with heart-pumping spice and suspense like you’ve never read before!

The nightmares started on Monsters Night. I figured my overactive libido was just tripping out because of all the monsters on the news. Some portal opened up, and they were terrorizing humans in particular.

But seriously, who hasn’t thought about that monster under the bed in a sensual light? There’s just something about danger, about fangs, about long tongues…

So, I let the dreams happen. I invite them in.

But one night, when I open my eyes and they’re literally feasting on me… I realize it’s no dream.

This is real.
—
“Get off me!” I scream, not because it doesn’t feel good what the one with an unnaturally long tongue is doing, but because this was supposed to be a dream.

“Not a chance, sigil.”

Why do they always call me that?

I move to push the one between my legs away, but I realize I can’t. My muscles don’t comply.

Red eyes glow at my right. Eyes that belong to a face crafted by a master sculptor, but his fangs dripping with my blood suggest he’s anything but a benevolent being. “You’re far too delicious to release now. Plus, you invited us into your mind. You told us to play.”

Yes, but that had been when this was all a fanciful dream full of forbidden desires.

I opened my mouth to say as much, but the creature on my right groaned at the sight. “Yes, open that mouth wide, our sigil. We’re starved for more of your screams.”

Their Blood Queen is a standalone paranormal romance with monstrous vampires that feed on blood and dreams from their chosen mate. There is NO OWD and always HEA.
