House of Crimson Kisses

Kingdom of Immortal Lovers, Book 2

De: Ruby Roe

Narrado por: Allie Rose, Anais Inara Chase

Once upon a time, a vampire fell in love with a hunter…

The trials for the heir of the city have begun, and the stakes have never been higher.

Red, a hunter, is struggling with her growing hunger for blood and the truth of her identity.

Octavia Beaumont, one of the original three vampires, is determined to win the trials and take control of the city.

But as Red and Octavia navigate deadly challenges and political machinations, they must also confront the lies and betrayals that have shaped their past.

Memories have been stolen.

Secrets have been kept.

And the line between love and hate has never been more blurred.

As the trials progress, Red and Octavia's bond grows stronger, but so does the target on their backs. Enemies lurk in every shadow, and even allies can no longer be trusted.

To survive the trials and uncover the truth...

They must decide how much they're willing to sacrifice.

Confront the monsters they've become.

And embrace a destiny that could destroy everything they hold dear.

But in a world where blood is power and love is a weakness, can Red and Octavia emerge victorious? Or will their secrets be their undoing?

This is a dark and steamy lesbian vampire romance with a generous dose of enemies-to-lovers, fated mates, and political intrigue. Featuring a snarky dhampir heroine and a morally grey vampire queen. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

The lies!

I enjoyed everything. Ruby is a great writer and I plan to read all her books.

Ton of Info

There was so much info in this second book. Funny because in Book 1 I loved Red and in Book 2, I am without a doubt Team Octavia.
Ruby Roe, you are incredible.
Now Book 3.

Great narration

Slow at first but kicks up at end. Enjoying the story line. Hope there’s another!

Great Story

Loved more of the story with Red and Octavia. It also blew my mind with the story coming full circle.

Clif hanger of a final!

Omg! I mean the way the story is been told, the way it develops, is just wonderful, and the performances, you get more spyci than the first book with equal amount of plot twist. Just amazing can’t wait for the 3!!!

4/5

Great t story, great performance. I know it’s meant to be spicy, and it is wonderful, but maybe a little too much? Some of it deterred from the story, repetitive to the point I found myself wanting to skip some chapters to get back to the storyline. Overall though? Good book!

Thanks to my sister

I have been going down my smut journey for about a year. During this time I was asking my sister for sapphic authors who were writing stories for the level of smut I enjoy best but was also a great story. I like my stuff to be fun, dark, and full of sex. She had heard of Ruby Roe but hadn’t read her stuff yet. I was smart enough to put this series on my TBR. You want dark, smutty, sapphic, fantasy you have found the right series for you! And the third one just came out on audio!! I know what I’m reading next.

The Twists

I love the Dom/Sub relationship these two have it makes their relationship so much spicier in my opinion but the TWISTS😩 I was not expecting any of what happened.

The love affair that spanned an eternity

I love the ending. I won’t be a spoiler but I’m looking forward to the next book. Please hurry.

Ehhh

Honestly too many sex scenes. At a certain point there is no need to describe that many sex scenes in detail. Some of them could have been fade to black and we could have got the memo. I actually started skipping them just to get back to the plot. At this point it feels like she just wanted it to be erotica with a side of plot.
