Yes, yes, yes. Oh, this is what I love about paranormal romance. This was such an incredible read. I will be reading it again. Kenya Wright has quite the read here. I am so glad I jumped on this the moment I saw the cover. I love arms, what can I say? I know you are not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but with a cover like that, I have some very sexy expectations. And boy, Wright delivered. Thank you so much.This is my first read by Wright even though she has been on my wishlist for a while. I am glad I started this. I love Wright's writing style. This story was amazing. I love the world she created. Escape was super original. Her take on vampires was amazing. Wright has created a world where vampires are known and coexist with humans. Of course vampires must live on blood, but the delicacy comes from the dominas. Dominas are human women who have the right kind of blood to create children with vampires. They are ruled by a king, The Quiet King. He rules all and wants the dominas all to himself. If they create boys with a special mark that means they are a prince, the babies are executed long before they can rule. The Quiet King wants to rule all and he makes sure that villages in trouble trade their special daughters for his assistance. And this is what happened to Brie.Our main character Brie was in the fight for her life. She hates being a slave to the King and she wants to go home to her family. She did it save her family and village, but can not take being slave and watching babies being slaughtered. She escapes from the castle where she is held. She was a great lead because she really fought for her life and didn't want anyone to lose their lives for her. She is getting some help from a pathfinder named Samuel. He doesn't want to help a domina considering all the people that will die if the King finds out, but he can't help that he is attracted to her either. Samuel has a secret of his own that no one can find out, but he is slowly beginning to trust her with it.This book was hard to put down. I loved everything about this book. Wright is one hell of a writer. I love how much creativity was put into this novella. This book was so sexy and exciting. You will love these characters and where this story goes. If you are like me and you love paranormal romance books, you better add this to your cart. It will make you very happy, in more ways than one.
