Kill him?I could have done that.Couple with him?Like hell.I am a slayer, one of Silver Hollow’s greatest warriors. I carry my fellow vampires with honor and carve out werewolves’ unsuspecting hearts.Or I did.I tend to ask forgiveness instead of permission, and my body count didn’t save me this time.Our queen stripped me of my rank, my purpose. She commanded I become a vessel meant to bear vampire … She commanded I become a vessel meant to bear vampire young.
And the male I’ve been assigned is trouble.
We have undeniable chemistry, but Adano Vice would sooner kill me than follow our queen’s orders. The feeling is mutual.
Unfortunately, Adano is no ally. He’s another enemy. If I don’t play his game and free him from Silver Hollow, he’ll make sure this ends in my death. Unless I win and reclaim my slayer rank.
I have everything to lose.
He has everything to gain.

Note: Vampire Captives is the first book in an adult dark fantasy series, From Blood to Ashes. While it’s a love story, it isn’t for every reader. It contains violent and sexual situations some might find triggering. But never fear. Our heroine and hero will overcome.

This is book 1 of From Blood to Ashes series. This was a great start for the series. The storyline is very well written with a great plot and flow.

Lisette was a vampire warrior and her people were fighting a war against werewolves trying to recover land that was theirs before the wolves invaded. She happens to see another white team member and a close friend hers Tuel. She was lying face down when she turned her over her heart was about to break because this woman was closest as she could come to family other than her team leader. She did something unthinkable and her team leader Fyefa could not phantom what was going on but she was very upset with her number 1. Then because of her actions the previous day she didn’t have the stamina to take on her team leader and she had to learn a very painful lesson and as punishment for being headstrong she was put into the reproduction project and she was told as soon as she produced she would be allowed to go back to her status as a warrior when she met Adano who was to be her partner things didn’t go as planned. The interesting storyline and the characters are intriguing. I was given a copy from Bookfunnel without obligations. I am providing an honest review.
I look forward to reading more
Lisette, an elite vampire slayer, is demoted and assigned to serve as a vessel to Adano, a vampyre breeder, but has a plan of her own. As the story progresses a rocky start leads to a fragile alliance, secrets are revealed, and trust may not be enough to let them survive the coming dangers. Kestra Pingree has created a wonderful world filled with complex societies and enough enemies to choke on. I look forward to reading more in the From Blood and Ashes series as well as the Prime World.

This was amazing. you don’t find many books that just suck you in and won’t let you go until the last page. This is one of those books. When i picked it up and started reading it i wasn’t sure what i was expecting to read…other then i hoped it was a good story. This story far surpassed what i was hoping to find inside it. It had amazing characters and an amazing world held between the covers of this story. I could feel, hear and see everything the author described in this story. it was utterly amazing. a first for me with a story. i can get sucked into many books when i am reading them but i have never felt like i could reach out and touch or smell the flowers, grass or trees in a book like i did with this one. I read this book in one day i couldn’t put it down after i started reading it. I have never read this authors books before but i am so glad i found it and i can’t wait to read more of them now that i have found them.
This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW. Vampire Captives by Kestra Pingree is the opening for her new series From Blood to Ashes. This is an interesting take on the vampire culture. For me, I thought the book started well and then it sort of dragged a bit. I was a little tempted to put the book down in favor of another series read that I was eyeing, but I never just stop reading a book because it hits a snag. And Am I Glad I Didn’t! The story takes off on greased rails. The action and drama kick up, the characters begin to grow and there are a couple of interesting plot twists. There is no resolution in this book as it sets us up for the next book in the series. There is a bit of heat to the story making this a Mature Readers Only Read.
