The Alpha Promise

Wonderfully sublime and altogether sexy, The Alpha Promise by Hayat Ali reinvigorates the tired genre of vampire tales. While the enticing action and bloodletting remains, this debut novel takes a smart look at the undead'”their legions and their way of life. It is not at all as simple and unplanned as one might imagine. Vampires have a method, and even in a modern day London, the undead still have a high prince who ubiquitously rules over all the creatures of the night just as he has for centuries. Jin is the most recent prince due to be crowned; he has been groomed for an entire lifetime. Poised to take his rightful place, a dissenting tribe tries to assassinate him and if it wasn't for the unwitting energies of a compassionate stranger'”an American woman named Adina Carr'”the tribe would have succeeded. What follows is an erotic and mesmerizing adventure, a fight for survival and, ultimately, a love story.
