The vampire grabbed at the links and snapped them with a deft twist. With nothing else to keep it moored, the knife flew on, disappearing swiftly into the darkness.

She was too fast, though, and he was still mortal. The problem with carrying something that was essentially five weapons in one was that it weighed the sum of its parts. F rom Olivie Blake, the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six comes Masters of Death, a story about vampires, ghosts, and death itself! Ocean's Echo is a stand-alone space adventure about a bond that will change the fate of worlds, set in the same universe as Everina Maxwell's hit debut, Winter's Orbit . Something that particularly hit different for me while reading Silver Under Nightfall is Remy’s dedication to keeping the people of Aluria safe. Just like Remy’s own relationship with his father, this is a connection that is fraught with tension and complication. Despite the fact that Remy deeply cares for his country and countrymen, they are wary of and vilify him for the rumors of being half-vampire.

Even though Malekh and Song are clearly in love and engaged to marry each other. Remy can’t understand why either of them wants him when no one else has ever wanted to do anything except use him for their own purposes. As the three face dangerous hardships during their journey, Remy begins to develop 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 vampire-mutation continues to spread across the kingdom, Remy must decide where his loyalties lie: with his father and the kingdom he’s spent his life defending, or the vampires who might just be the death of him. As they navigate the dangerous terrain and face new threats, Remy develops complicated feelings for the couple. With each passing day, he begins to question everything he thought he knew about vampires, including the story behind his own family legacy. He let go, and in the blink of an eye vanished, reappearing on the other side of the forest and calmly straightening his collar. Only then did Remy notice the curved sword at his hip, at the sheer arrogantce of the man not having used it at all.

He was expecting the newcomer to be yet another dramatic brat. He was only partially correct. The stranger had dramatic stapled to him, but it was the kind of dramatic that attached itself, unwanted, like a very glamorous leech, and demanded attention on behalf of its owner whether it was warranted or not.Sure, most of us aren’t half-vampires who have trained long and hard in the art of vampire slaying and carry a massive sword straight out of Hellsing or Final Fantasy. But most of us are, in one way or another, trying to prove our worth to something or someone. For some of us, it could be to ourselves. For others, it could be to external forces like parents, bosses, friends, or even society in general. And that’s just the tip of the really massive and ugly iceberg of why Remy is persona non grata in his own country – unless they need something killed and everyone else is too scared or too prissy to get their hands dirty. DEBUT Welcome to Aluria, a world where the sun seldom shines and the lands are split between vampires and humans with each hating, fearing, and hunting the other. When a deadly plague of rotting zombies threatens both peoples, Remy Pendergast is caught in the middle as the disgraced son of a famous vampire hunter—turned—liaison to two vampire courts. But the threat is larger than anyone imagined, and Remy and the two vampires Malekh and Song must learn to trust each other absolutely if any of them are to survive the coming onslaught. Remy, Malekh, and Song have a darkly delicious queer relationship that will make gothic readers swoon, while the political skullduggery twists perceptions of heroes and villains into complex knots of speculation and betrayal. VERDICT Readers who love sinking their teeth into an absorbing story of vampire politics along with the perils of romancing the undead will find much to savor in this adult debut from YA novelist Chupeco ( An Unreliable Magic). The epic saga will hold appeal for both horror and fantasy readers. —Marlene Harris Library Journal WANTED - Bloodmaid of exceptional taste. Must have a keen proclivity for life's finer pleasures.
