But when she discovers that her promised release is a cruel lie, she knows she has only one chance to escape: make a bargain with Raphael, a powerful vampire imprisoned alongside her. Raphael is everything Samara has been taught to fear—the same kind of creature responsible for her mother's death—but he may be the only person capable of helping her survive.

Many particularly enjoy Raphael's protective, morally grey personality and the slow development of trust between the two characters. The book's biggest strength for some readers is that the romance takes its time, allowing the emotional connection to develop rather than rushing into physical intimacy. However, some readers found the pacing slow and felt frustrated by Samara's decisions and the lack of romantic progression. The book also ends with plenty of unanswered questions, making it clear that this is the beginning of a larger story.
