To ensure peaceful co-existence and inherit their legacy, human children of these families must study at an elite university before choosing a vampire companion.

Lost Heiress, Kidan Adane grew up far from Uxlay University. She is obsessively protective, mildly nihilistic, and willing to do anything to save her loved ones. When her sister, June, disappears, Kidan is convinced a vampire stole her - the alluring yet dangerous Susenyos Sagad, the same vampire bound to her own House.

To stay in Uxlay, Kidan must study an arcane philosophy, work with four enigmatic students, and survive living with Susenyos - even as he does everything to drive her away. It doesn't matter that Susenyos' violence speaks to her own and tempts Kidan to surrender to a life of darkness. She must find her sister and kill him at all costs.

When a murder mirroring June's disappearance shakes Uxlay, Kidan sinks further into the ruthless underworld of vampires, risking her very soul. Here, she discovers a centuries-old threat. And June could be at the very centre of it.

The Cruel Prince meets Ninth House in this dangerously romantic dark academia debut, where a lost heiress must infiltrate a secret society and live with the vampire she suspects kidnapped her sister.

This is a well-done twist on vampires that I haven't seen done yet. The vampires can only feed from a chosen bloodline, those bloodlines form houses, and they are constantly trying to destroy each other. The houses are also magical and have rules that can not be ignored or broken without serious consequences. Kidan, the MC, is the last heiress to one of the houses and reluctantly claims her title in an attempt to unravel the disappearance of her sister. But when she gets to Uxlay, the very vampire that she was told was responsible for the disappearance of her sister is not only there, but also vying for ownership of the house.

This is a true enemies to lovers plot. It is YA so it does not get that risque but the tension is very well done. I'm very much looking forward to the next book to be …
