Blurb: A world of intrigue. A life of lies. A future of sacrifice.
Vincent Hudson is a vampire hunter, and his life is about to be ruined.
When a hunting trip ends in tragedy, he is forced to do the unthinkable—seek refuge in Sanctuary Hope, where each family must nominate a member to the city council. But there is a catch.
In exchange for refuge, the nominees are turned into bloodslaves for an elite chain of vampires, and unaware of the gut-wrenching reality, Vincent nominates himself. He only wanted to save his group.
Now, a life of captivity and war await him. . .

Reviewer: Shorty
Review: In a world where humans are trying to survive after catastrophic disasters there are sanctuaries where you can go to be protected. But beware these cities are not what they seem.
Maddox is in charge of Sanctuary Hope. I found this name ironic because from what I read there is no hope only servitude and despair for those Maddox deems not fit.
Vincent goes into servitude believing his group will be taken care of. but unbeknown to him Maddox is only using him to stop Vincent’s uncle. The act that turned me against Maddox’s character to begin with was him imprisoning Vincent’s nephew and using him before he ever talks to Vincent. This young man had not done anything wrong so I was pissed at Maddox. I felt he lied to Vincent from the beginning.
We will see if Maddox can redeem himself in my eyes but I doubt it as I cannot stand the things he’s done so far. I feel sorry for Vincent and the life he in is store for with someone he will not be able to trust.
This is a dark tale full of deceit and manipulation. I am hoping for a better understanding of why Maddox feels the need to treat people as he does when they come to him for help and pledge a person into servitude so the rest of their family are safe and why it seems that it did not apply to Vincent or his group.
Interesting read.
