Vampire Trials: The Summoning: A Dark Reverse Harem (The Vampire Trials) by Storm Song - Starting June 8th 2020

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Drax. Colt. Finn.

The three vampire bad boys that have been terrorizing the night life of this city since they were old enough to know what a party was. On top of being insanely rich and handsomely supernatural there's one more thing that makes them untouchable- they're next in line to rule this city.

For the last hundred years humans have been at the bottom of the food chain since the rise of supernaturals, and in our city vampires rule the roost.

Divided into three different triads, each section of the city has a vampire governor who is fit to do as he pleases.

Drax, Colt, and Finn are next in line for those thrones.

To keep their subjects in line every five years they do a purge where every adult man is fair game for any vampire to feed on for twentyfour hours. To determine which traids need to partake in the purge and which one will be exempt, three people from each triad are summoned to participate in a sick and twisted game to survive. The winner gets to guarantee safety for their community.

The losers die.

For years I had kept my head down, followed every triad law, and focused on keeping my mother alive. But an announcement that women will now be included in the summoning turns my world upside down.

The first person to be summoned from triad three is me.

I came into this prepared to fight for my life, but what I didn't expect to fight was the city's supernatural playboys' sick attraction to me.

In the Vampire Trials only one thing matters to me- getting home to my mom. And when I say I'd do anything to get there, I mean it.

(view spoiler)[ Feels like a Hunger Games for vamps. Nice!

Notice how so many books have either silvery pale blondes or dark raven haired girls?

Love the tarragon. That’s a new one for me in vampire lore.

They should have prepared a harem of hot guys for Scarlett! And no dresses either! This sounds like a set up, especially since the vamp gang also recognized her before her name was ever called.

Love the trainer! Ditzy by day, Warrior by night.

I would have eaten the desserts. Screw the salad.

Why are vamp guys so hot. Seriously.
OMG, Colt is not only hot and reads but also has a British accent. Just kill me now.
They’re moving the trials up to today! No fair!

Ah ha! There was a reason Scarlett was chosen for the trials! Cause her dad killed a vamp prince! And now all three hot vamp guys are in the trials too. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Now Scarlett, as the face of the human rights movement, is going to help the three hot vamp guys take down the monarchy.

Wow, the powers really want Scarlett and the hot vamps gone cause now it’s everyone else against them. And now we learn they were always going to put the hot vamps in the trials?

And now the NHRA has found them all. Wow, this is going quickly. Good sex scene though. 😀 (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[True! In my case any dude with a Brit accent is going to slay me. If it had been me I would have just tried to convince Colt to run away with me. Screw humanity. 😀 (hide spoiler)]

Finished
(view spoiler)[Definitely a bit of a cliffhanger but at least her mom gave her blessing in a way. I’m worried that’ll be the last time she ever sees her though 😰 I wasn’t sure they were going to make it out of the Trials in this book so I can’t wait to see where it’ll go from here (hide spoiler)]

[Deana]

❀ Crystal ✿ - wrote: "89% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Same here! But it was smart of him to make it look like that. Now we’ve got a nice group of guys to help remake the world. (hide spoiler)]

[Deana]

Done!

(view spoiler)[In a contest for your life? No worries. There’s always time for a booty call.
Scarlett being a ho with everyone now - even Maximus. Nice.

Now Scarlett is doing a televised Katniss thing. I like Katniss better.
And again, there’s always time for a booty call!
Loved the ending with her mom. 😀

Overall I thought it a bit thin. It started out great but then went sooo quickly. I wanted to see more of the other contestants and see how they went up against each other in the trials.

(view spoiler)[Glad you enjoyed it! It was a bit too quick for me. I would have loved to have seen lots more character development, especially on the vamp guys. I’m not surprised she won though. She has to be around for the next two books! 😀 (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yeah I do agree, things went at super speed especially with the guys. There was no real connection built with anyone but of course now she wants them all lol. Greedy girl 😂 The Trials definitely should have been expanded upon, there was so much wasted opportunity. (hide spoiler)]

I agree with everything you said! She’s greedy, but so am I. 😂

(view spoiler)[ Okay so this is half hunger games half vampire games. She's been chosen but it's all a bit of a coincident. her dad has already died in the games, her mum probably wont see the end of the games as she's sick. Something else is going on, the vamps knew her and all of a sudden her name is the first one out let alone she's sector 3 and they usually start with sector 1 plus it's the first time they have included females.

(view spoiler)[ I feel a little cheated. i think this story could have been bumped out a lot more and we are given a chance to get to know the characters, world and games better. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Exactly my thoughts. Feeling cheated is a good description. There is so much that could have been developed and was left hanging. I’m not reading the rest of the series. (hide spoiler)]

Yeah the storyline def should have been expanded on more. I mean there was soooooo much opportunity and instead everything just flew by with no depth.

I did set up the br for the second one for us if you wanted to continue if not I can just delete it and read it solo. Apparently there is a big cliffhanger ending and the third doesn’t come out until September so 🤷🏼‍♀️

(view spoiler)[ Scarlett is kinda okay but her character lacks depth. She tries to give off a badass playgirl vibe with her late entrance and stuff but it's kinda falling flat on me. (hide spoiler)]

Sorry for butting in so late. :\

(view spoiler)[Crystal: So I haven't read the Hunger games so I don't get the reference...

Deana: I haven't heard of Tarragon before either so that was surprising.

The hair thing is so true! I'm not sure about this but in America, there are a lot of blondes, I think? So maybe that's why every author wants to give their heroines a catchy hair colour. In my country though, literally every single person has black hair lol. It's very rare to see a person with even dark brown hair.

The trainer's cool! I like him a lot.

Mummy's Naughty Corner: That definitely is fishy! (hide spoiler)]

Glad you liked my hair observation! I am naturally blonde, but most of the blondes in America are fake 😂

(view spoiler)[ Okay, what's happening lol? Why is everyone sharing their sob stories with her five minutes after they meet? You would think apparent bad boys or play boys be secretive but just because they think the girl doesn't mean to take advantage of them doesn't mean that you spill everything to them. She could be a lesbian for all you know about her. Are they that attention-starved or something?

Also, the heroine being a special snowflake is really irritating. Everyone's just like "hehehehehe you're so special, you're so different, I can't figure you out" and stuff and I'm just like " Are you guys that stupid?" Really grated on my nerves for some reason. I'm really disappointed. (hide spoiler)]

Fake?! I don't even know the appeal lol. I've only been out of my country twice and I don't real notice the other tourists. Trying to be polite and not stare and stuff. I don't even watch TV much so...
When I found out that blonde people have blonde eyelashes and eyebrows too, I for one, was seriously weirded out lol. I couldn't even imagine.

Sorry, if that offends you. I don't mean to but the first time I heard about blondes, 12-year me was like "How can yellow hair look good on a person?Howwwww?" And then I literally had to google images and was like "Huh, it isn't as weird as I thought it would be. Whatever."

(view spoiler)[ Fine, they are holding a grudge against her for her father's actions but that doesn't mean she's oh-so special suddenly.

You single handedly found a way to fuck up a lifetime of work and even more possibilities for them and me. For what? Why you? What makes you so special?

This was quoted at 46% by some idiot. Can't remember who. Seriously? I'm rolling my eyes so hard now. Ugh (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Oookay. I wasn't expecting that. They've pitted everone in the trials against her. I wasn't expecting that first betrayal lol. And you would think the NHRA would not like vampires but seriously? Just because they're with Scarlett doesn't mean they can just stroll into a building full of humans who are working to free their race from vampires. The book has potential but sadly hasn't reached it. (hide spoiler)]

Exactly! Just what I was thinking. And from the look of things, I feel like they are gonna add Max to her harem too!
