I am a major fan of Felicity Heaton's books and have read pretty much all her different series. I also enjoyed the  first couple of books in her  Vampire Realm and am now absolutely hooked. I will be spending the next few weeks filling in the rest of this series.  This is book 8 in the Vampire Realm and I had no trouble following and enjoying this exciting romantic thrill ride. It was a great read as a stand alone but don't deprive yourself of the rest of this series.The heroine, Eve, is the first vampire I have read about that has shunned human blood. Eve is a Hunter who finds her life turned upside down when she is betrayed by her ex, and turned into the very beings  she hunts.After being turned Eve endured several long years of torture during which she was further weakened by her refusal to drink human blood (perpetual hunger). She is mortified by what she has become and vows revenge.Once Eve escapes to find sanctuary with her father Oneiric. He realizes she is under great danger and must flee to safety in Oslo. Her crazy ex, Adam, is following through on devious evil plan that puts many in peril. Despite wanting revenge, Adam is deadly and needs to be stopped.Eve is a pure blood, considered high royalty in the Vehemens bloodline. Her sister is Lilith (from Seventh Circle) and awaits her in Oslo.  Not a weakling turned heroine, from the beginning Eve is a determined force to be reckoned with with a temper to match. She has a good, pure heart that finds room for one who is not considered worthy and of lower status within the bloodline.Eve is summoned to Oslo so she can reunite with  her sister as well as find protection in the Vehemens family mansion. There she will take her place among the royal family. They send Tor, a hardened Hunter, sworn to protect and escort her to Oslo. Within her bloodline, men in Tor's position are considered lower than the servants and others that he must protect. It is quite disheartening to see such terrible treatment of those that should be honored .Tor is all hot alpha male, very swoon worthy.  After years if being regarded  as unworthy by his own bloodline, Tor has turned off his emotions and does not even dare to dream he could be worthy of love.  Here is where Ms. Heaton's characters are so awesome as we watch the melting of Tor's icy exterior and the blossoming of Eve's character.Their  instant chemistry draws us in,  their love growing at an even and rewarding pace.  I loved Eve's devotion to Tor and how she stands up to those that snub him. Tor is the perfect hero who is not just there to protect her but it is within his strength she is able to come into her own.Together they encounter a roller coaster of danger, adventure, yummy hot smexy romance and we get to go along for the thrilling ride. Definitely a page turner.The world or the Vampire Realm is mesmerizing and enticing.  As with all her astounding world building, Felicity Heaton vividly hypnotizes her readers imaginations and keeps you wanting to revisit. You will be so glad there are a good number of books in this series and hopefully many more.
