About this listen
For humans and vampires, the rules of survival are the same: never trust, never yield, and always–always–guard your heart.
The adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king, Oraya carved her place in a world designed to kill her. Her only chance to become something more than prey is entering the Kejari: a legendary tournament held by the goddess of death herself.
But winning won’t be easy amongst the most vicious warriors from all three vampire houses. To survive, Oraya is forced to make an alliance with a mysterious rival.
Everything about Raihn is dangerous. He is a ruthless vampire, an efficient killer, an enemy to her father’s crown…and her greatest competition. Yet, what terrifies Oraya most of all is that she finds herself oddly drawn to him.
But there’s no room for compassion in the Kejari. War for the House of Night brews, shattering everything that Oraya thought she knew about her home.
In a kingdom where nothing is more deadly than love, Raihn may understand her more than anyone, but their blossoming attraction could be her downfall.
The Serpent and the Wings of Night is the first book in the Crowns of Nyaxia series, a heart-wrenching romance full of dark magic and bloodthirsty intrigue.

Story
Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers. The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

To show how powerful he is. He gave me protection, and I gave him my heart. And even though I don't leave the confines of the palace, I'm safe. Until war comes to the kingdom and a deal is struck.

Story
Eighteen-year-old Trinity may be going blind, but she can see and communicate with ghosts and spirits. Her gift is the reason she’s been in hiding for years in a compound guarded by Wardens—shape-shifters who protect humankind from demons. If the demons discover the truth about Trinity, they’ll devour her to enhance their powers. When Wardens from another clan arrive with reports that something is killing both demons and Wardens, Trinity’s world implodes. Not the least because one of the outsiders is the most annoying and fascinating person she’s ever met.

When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.

vampire book with hunger games indeed
Most of the book was predictable because they sell it saying it's like hunger games. I can't help BUT compare the both and find so many similarities that if I explained plot of both, it'll be basically be the same. 70% of the plot was not for me, 20% was thrilling. Only respite was that descriptions of actually fights however small they may be were good. The only chapters that kept me actually engaged were 47-52 Rest, not so much. Overall, one might like it, it wasn't for me, and hard to finish.

Good book, annoying narrator
I really liked this story and look forward to the next book however I hope it is narrated by someone else. Amanda’s cadence and expressions didn’t suit the story and I found it hard to get into the feel of the characters because her way of reading them didn’t match the feeling of the book.

Amazing narration, decent book
The narration on this book is fantastic, probably one of my favourites on audible!
The book itself is like most fantasy romance books. I think there’s like 2.5 spicy scenes and they’re written pretty well. Also I did cry a couple times so be warned.
I loved the FL’s dad, Vincent, and his relationship with the main character. He flip flops between the loving father and the cruel and strict king, it’s not a trope I see often and if I do it’s never written that nicely. He’s such a dynamic character which I really.
I also appreciate that the main character isn’t a damsel, she’s pretty bad ass for being a human in a vampire dominated world.
Something I didn’t love was that most of the trials are pretty similar since she and the male lead respond to the trials in similar ways which makes it hard to see much, if any, character development in the trials. Most of the character development happens between the trials. Other than offering some action, the trials don’t really offer much else so they feel redundant. It would have been cool to see her get stronger after spending weeks training or something.

Soft, dark romantasy
As most have described, this is Hunger Games in a vampire world. It is a soft romantasy compared with the dark romance novels I have been reading & listening to lately. No trigger warnings with this book, thankfully. The spice level is minimal in this book and focuses more on the story than the romance. It is a slow burn enemies-to-lovers story. I really enjoyed reading this book and I enjoyed it more the second time around. I picked up on more subtle hints on the second read. Now that the last book has been released, I look forward to reading more. The voice actors are great with this book as well and made it easy to fall into this vampire universe. This is one of the series I am enjoying the most to read.

Romance overshadows adventure
Despite high expectations stemming from personal recommendations, this book failed to captivate. Promising an adventure-filled narrative, the story instead pivoted towards a predictable romance between its characters. Disappointingly, the plot took a backseat to this romantic subplot, leaving me longing for the anticipated thrill of adventure. While the performance was commendable, the overall experience left much to be desired, ultimately falling flat.
