Run don't walk to get this book! This book follows a human (Oraya) that gets swept into the vampire kingdom when she is young. After all of her family dies, the king of night (Vincent) finds her and takes her in. During this time they started to train for her to enter the Kejari. The Kejari is a legendary tournament held by the goddess of death. Whoever wins the Kejari is granted one wish from the Goddess. Will Oraya be able to become like the people in the world that she has become accustomed to, or will she stay a weak human and die while fighting? 

This book was AMAZING! I love any book where the characters are competing, and this book is no acception. This story is written very well, and I could not stop reading it. I might have a love hate relationship with 80% of the characters, but I think that is what makes this book so good. You never know what a character is going to do, and this book has so many plot twists that your head will be spinning. I still have sooo many unanswered questions, and I will be starting the next book right away.

If you don't have this book, go buy it asap! If you do have it, do not let it just sit on your shelf!
