There are only two ways a human can cross the gates of Bloodstone Institute: as a familiar to one of the Blueblood vampires who attend the elite school or as a snack.
I’m neither, but I have to get in at all costs. My brother made a big mistake, and now I have to fix it by stealing from the most powerful and cruel vampire to ever come to Bloodstone, Lucca Della Morte. If that wasn’t almost … almost suicidal, I need to get it done before the spell concealing my human nature wears off.
But I forget that I’m only pretending to be a vampire. I’m still human and susceptible to Lucca’s dangerous allure. His darkness calls to my soul. His savagery makes my blood sing. I’m falling for the dark prince, craving him in a visceral way that’s frightening and exciting at the same time.
If he discovers my secret, he’ll destroy me. And yet, I can’t help wanting to get closer. I never thought I had a death wish until I met him.

Vampires, witches, and dragons, oh my!! All of these supernatural creatures living in Salam mixed with the bully troupe is a great concept! If you love paranormal the world, Michelle Hercules created a story that you want to visit.
Lucca Della Morte has been asleep for 95 years (each sleep lasting longer and longer), cursed by Nightingales centuries ago. A death like coma that he must endure to regain his strength, but will eventually keep him in statis the next time it occurs. The only way to break the curse is to drink from a Nightingale once again, the only problem is that they have vanished or just ceased to exist long ago. His immortal future doesn’t exactly look great.
Vivienne isn’t a fan of supernatural beings, having almost been raped by a vampire when she was younger. However, when her brother needs her help, once again, she takes on the task of of getting closer to a monster that terrifies her in exchange for her brother’s life.
Vivi is sent to Bloodstone with a spell to mask her human nature with the task to steal a necklace from around Lucca’s neck. No small task to just walk up to a vampire and remove a precious heirloom. The hard parts; don’t become a vampire snack, don’t die, and don’t fall for Lucca.
Lucca is called the Dark Prince for a few reasons, it’s not just a title. When he catches on to Vivi’s duplicity he plans to make her pay, slowly, but he never planned to fall into the game neither knew they were a part of.
What begins as a bully romance turns into something more, it’s awesome how Michelle brings so many paranormal worlds together. This is a great start to a new series, especially if you love all things paranormal!
I steal a glance in her direction. Her stubborn chin is raised high, but her mouth is tense, and her brows are furrowed. Her hand is sweating in mine, which would be a major turnoff in any other circumstance. She’s terrified of what might happen in the feeding room. I wonder if she’ll actually try to drink from another human.
This is going to be very entertaining.
Once upon a time a daughter of the House of Gael fell in love with the vampire prince. And once upon a time she was hereby banished from Ellnesari. Forever.
A human girl has to steal a bloodstone necklace from a Dark Prince – Lucca Della Morte in order to save her brother. And in the events that follow, she attends Bloodstone Institute. And so does he.

This story is written in such a reach undertone of something forbidden, dark and unimaginable. It is so intoxicating that it holds your attention like an addiction. I was lulled in from the first page on and the worl of Bluebloods and Nightingales blew me away. The angst, the lust, incredible characters, wicked story and clever writing!
I trully can not wait for the next book in this series. There’s a sneak peak at the end of the book about Aurora and Saxon, and boy am I excited! Absolutely amazing!
