Monster of Fate
They say Rune le Rege is a monster among monsters. He is detached and cruel, but he kissed me once like I was the only thing to make his cold, dead heart beat.
I would let Rune do anything he wanted to me. I would scream for him. I would bleed for him. He wouldn’t even need to ask. He could command it and I wouldn’t hesitate. Not that he would, because never in the frozen Hell on Earth I’d found myself would he want me.
He might star in my dirtiest dreams, but he’s also my new stepbrother.
Strix is not. Strix is gorgeous and sinful, and he wants me. So badly it could only be good.
But he’s not the only one keeping secrets. My new step-family. The new town my mum dragged me to. The staff and students of Knightsbridge Academy. Everyone has secrets and they might be the literal death of me. To say nothing of the two men I find myself between.
It’s not bad boy vs good guy. It’s bad boy vs bad boy in the race for my heart. One simply needs to claim it. The other won’t rest until he’s holding it in his hands.
This is a dark, angsty, contemporary paranormal, enemies-to-lovers, step-sibling romance with some bully elements and enough steam to melt your screen. Do not engage in public consumption unless your poker face is impenetrable.
Do not read if you don’t like vampires, fated mates, alpha step-brothers claiming what’s theirs, a feisty heroine discovering the hidden secrets of her new step-family, complicated love triangles full of passion, dirty words, and a little bit of death.
This story features the heroine in romantic/sexual situations with two love interests. While not considered cheating by the characters, you may have different feelings. Proceed with caution.
Contains possible triggers

I'm hooked!
I almost put this down - I actually did but something compelled me to return
I'm so glad I did
Just wait till about 60% in NO peeking!!
everything clicks into place
Our anti-hero morphs
Our strong-willed heroine gets even stronger ( not how you think)
Grandma reveals possibilities
And our Raven? Don't underestimate him
This is the first in the series - it does not conclude in book one - It isn't A cliffy ending more a beginning
So many secrets that are just beyond
Little twists, misdirection and sleight of hand
And the chemistry between our leads
Holy Hades

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
New paranormal romance from Scarlett Knox (Elizabeth Stevens). This book is the series starter to the Vampires of Knightsbridge series. An entertaining tale featuring Lena, a mortal, thrown into the supernatural world of vampires/shifters. Follow along with her as she navigates survival in a world where even a papercut could be a life-or-death situation! An angsty enemies-to-lovers story peppered with danger, finding friends, making enemies, and the occasional brush with death/murder. If you like a strong main character with quirky friends, a brooding bad-boy who fights his feelings, and characters with depths that unfold as the story progresses, you won't regret reading this one! Looking forward to book two!

Exciting, intense, slow burn to scalding hot. Meet Lena, the daughter, whose mother is moving them to an unknown destination, to marry a man Lena knows little about. When she gets there she encounters Rune, not realizing he's her new stepbrother the lust is immediate. But just as she learns this is a land of vampires she realizes Rune is on a quest to destroy her. The first part of this mesmerizing young adult series, I look forward to seeing what fate has next for Lena and Rune.
I received this book as an arc and am voluntarily submitting my review.
