Being the sole survivor of the Van Helsing family was never a burden I wanted to carry.

Yet here I am, an orphan with a score to settle against Dracula for orchestrating the near genocide of my bloodline.

One small kink in that plan: I was turned into the blood sucking creature that I was born to destroy.

Being admitted into the Dark Imaginarium Academy to hone my new skills as a vampire, and to survive the blood lust, is the first step towards achieving my revenge.

No one is prepared for me to infiltrate their ranks, but I know they aren't going to let me get my revenge without a fight.

But what I'm not ready for is the three vampires that make my blood burn for an entirely different reason.

Luckily, I’m okay with coating my nails with the entrails of anyone who stands in my way.

My name is Alina Van Helsing and I’m out for blood.

***

I hadn’t been able to make time in a few years to read. This book happened to come across my IG feed and I’m so glad it did! I was instantly hooked. I loved the take on vampires and Alina being a Van Helsing. I thought the plot was great, the pacing and book was easy to read, and I ate it up in a day.

This was my first RH, why choose book and I loved the guys all chasing after such a kick ass FMC. Lincoln is everything though 🤌🏽. This is the first book in the series and it ended in a huge cliffhanger. When I say I ran to buy the rest of the series!

This series was a great read! It put a completely different spin on the Van Helsing versus Dracula lure and the author does an amazing job of taking you through all the emotions felt by the characters from each of their perspectives. It’s filled with Love, reverse harem, action, death betrayal, spice, the works. It accurately paces the characters, emotional mental, and even traumatic moments throughout the entire novel, and it is unlike a lot of other novels that set an unrealistic even for fiction fantasy novel, standard of dealing with traumatic situations. There were plenty of spicy scenes that fit very well within the story like they weren’t awkwardly placed in a random places throughout the novel they were placed where they were supposed to be. I read this entire series within a matter of days. I would’ve finished the entire series within maybe a day or two if my schedule didn’t mess it up.

Although it was spread out between four books, to me, in my opinion, it really should have been only one book. Maybe you could stretch it out to two books, but this series really didn’t need to be a full book series. This was my only “issue” with the series it’s not enough to drop the rating past five though. it’s literally one novel that was split between multiple books and and I’m not sure if it was just so that the author could make more money or just a production decision either way it didn’t really make sense to me to do that. New book literally just starts or continues from where the period the previous book ended so it was literally just a full continuation of the same book.

I’d recommend this series to anyone who loves a good action, failed, spicy, vampire, romance novel, even if that’s not your typical cuppa tea I would still recommend it. It’s a very good series.
I’m looking forward to Reading more of this author’s books.

The book has a lot of pointless inner monologues and it's poor timing for when most details are shared. Pretty good in terms of slow burn though. Very short and kind of a lot for just 20 something chapters. I wish they spent less time monologuing and more time telling an actual story but still decent enough. Very cringey. The ending plot twist was spectacular though. Will probably read the second book despite everything I disliked since it left me interested in finding out what happens next.

Worth the read. 6.5/10

Alina’s a vampire slayer. Not only A vampire slayer, she’s THE sole heir to the Van Helsing slaying dynasty and will lead the slaying world once she reaches her majority.

Oh, wait. She gets throw out of the sanctuary of slayers in disgrace, though. Why? She got turned on the eve of her 21st birthday. She’s a vampire now. And her only salvation? A spot at Dark Imaginarium Academy.

Let’s make it a little more complicated. She has a vendetta against Dracula, who ordered her entire family slaughtered and her turned into an abomination. There’s her professor Lincoln, whose family was murdered by slayers when he was a child, thereby throwing him into vampire foster care, which means he hates slayers like Alina. There’s Andrei, the top student at the school who’s desperate to earn his way onto Dracula’s council as a way of protecting himself and his mom from his horrible father’s abuse by protecting the top spot that Alina threatens.

Book 1 of a 4 book series and ends on a cliffy. The series is complete, though. There are interconnected books in the Dark Imaginarium Academy world. I’ve read several. Despite them being by different authors, all are well written with good character development, excellent plot, believable action, and steamy scenes.

A good storyline I can get behind!! How can a Van Helsing be a vampire!! That is a terrible struggle for sure. Seems like she can't be both and be happy, such a inner struggle. Alina is strong and more then capable of fighting her own battles. Lincon was a little hard at first, he had his own demons to fight. Absolutely love it! The end was jaw dropping. Can't wait to read the next book. Who needs sleep!?

Reviewed in Canada on July 9, 2022

I absolutely love these authors and this shared world but I just cannot deal with these cliffhangers any longer. Do they enjoy doing this to us? Of course I’m going to devour every single release but still.

One thing I have loved about this shared world is the glimpses of the characters of different series within others. It’s enough to pique your interest in the other series and it’s a bit of a reminder of what’s happening within the world. The series intertwine so flawlessly and I must commend these authors for seamlessly incorporating different characters, clues, storylines and history.

This was one of the quicker reads within this universe but RL Caulder made sure it was full of twists, passion and that humor I have come to love from her characters. I have been thoroughly enjoying each release and cannot wait to see how each series will continue.

5.0 out of 5 stars cliffhanger of the year
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 27, 2024

Now that was a cliffhanger I definitely didn’t see coming. Best thing ever 😁

So if you guys haven’t read any of the series collections from the Dark Imaginarium Academy then I would suggest starting with The creatures we crave by R.L Caulder herself as it’s Alexandra’s story first so you get familiar with the academy and the characters but also the way blood oath introduces Alina and another special guest means you don’t have to if you choose to but if your like me and want it in order and definitely want to read the collection.

Anyway what a brilliant start, I thought if it’s anything like the creatures we crave then knew this be a good. Definitely recommend and this so far seems more full of twists and surprises definitely didn’t see coming.

I really liked the idea of someone who hates vampires, such as an Van Helsing, to be turned into one with no perspective. And the book did not disappoint! I was so immersed and invested that I could not stop reading. The FMC is such a fearless person, a great example of how a bad situation does not have to be hopeless. The cliffhanger is not only great but also very effective.

J'ai apprécié l'histoire au début, c'était rafraîchissant, mais l'histoire manque rapidement de force dans les personnages. C'est, cependant, assez entraînant pour le lire sans trop se forcer, mais bcp moins aguicheur que ce qui était présage.
