HE REQUIRES A WIFE. SHE NEEDS TO KILL HIM. ALL'S FAIR IN PURSUIT OF LOVE & REVENGE

What's a vampire to do when the fae who made her an orphan is searching for a wife?

Make him choose her and end his life on their wedding night, of course.

Brynleigh has been carefully planning this for years. Her plan is simple: date Ryker Waterborn, the Fae Representative's son, make him fall in love with her, and kill him after they say, "I do."

Unfortunately, it won't be that easy. She won't be the only one going after Ryker's hand. Far from it. Two dozen men and women are competing in the Choosing, each searching for their perfect partner. The catch? It's a blind selection process, and contestants won't see each other until they have made their choice.

Nothing will stand between Brynleigh and her revenge, not even a competition for love.

        Elayna R. Gallea has masterfully crafted a captivating fantasy twist on the popular Netflix series "Love is Blind." This enchanting world, filled with magical fae, vampires, werewolves, mermaids, witches, and humans, explores the complexities of their coexistence. It’s a must-read for fans of the genre.

        The story follows Brynleigh, a young woman transformed into a vampire, who conspires with her "Maker" to exact revenge on the alleged murderer of her small human town. For six long years, Brynleigh has been trained as a weapon, poised to eliminate criminals. Her ultimate target is Ryker Waterborn, the son of the Fae Representative responsible for a massacre of innocent lives—a horrific event that was conveniently swept under the rug.

        With her Maker’s influence, Brynleigh secures a spot in the 200th Choosing event, where twelve men and twelve women are brought together for blind dates in the hopes of finding true love. Among the participants is Ryker Waterborn, and Brynleigh’s mission is clear: capture his attention, make him fall in love, and ultimately assassinate him on their wedding night.

        However, Brynleigh faces more than just the challenge of winning Ryker’s heart. As rebel forces launch attacks, her plans become increasingly complicated, and she finds herself grappling with her own feelings as she struggles not to fall in love. The unexpected twists and turns heighten the anticipation for Brynleigh’s wedding night and the critical decision she must ultimately make.

        All I can say is that I am eager to dive into the rest of the series, as this first installment has me completely hooked!
