Until the Sun Falls from the Sky
by Kristen Ashley
Until The Sun Falls From The Sky is the first book of the first PNR series that this author has written and I have to say....this author needs to write more into this genre. She has done plenty of contemporary, dark, erotic and fantasy but I found such joy in this story and most especially in the world building that this author creates and I was all for it. I just loved the grit and edges to it that was simply stunning in every way. I really only had reservations surrounding the heroine (which can happen in some of her books--her heroines don't always work out for me) But I found that I absolutely got a kick out of this story and the theme of the trilogy.
Until The Sun Fall From The Sky is a story where there are vampires and they make contracts with human families to feed from, and one of the most powerful of the vampires, makes a contract with Leah who is a member of a very prestigious family who have served as blood concubines for vampires. And now its Leah's turn but Leah doesn't embrace the role like her family has, she is more resistant about it. But Lucien has wanted Leah for over twenty years and is willing to wait for her, and he does see so much more in her than she does even in herself. Leah doesn't really understand this world (and it doesn't help that she lacked in her studies) so there is plenty of confusion and there is more depths occurring in her relationship with Lucien than she realizes.
I really loved this vampire world that this author creates, it was so interesting and different especially in that vampire/human mating is forbidden and the punishment is horrifying. And I loved seeing these two interact with each other, especially once the heroine got over being petty (and that is not an understatement) and even though the hero is uber alpha male, I found sympathy for what the heroine does put him through and I wasn't fully won over by the heroine to be honest. At forty years old, she is passing notes in class, she just has a very immature personality that I couldn't really like even when she realizes how horrible she has treated Lucien, she still does stupid things that doesn't make me fall for her and she didn't grow on me until toward the end which is the primary reason why this rating of this book isn't higher. If the heroine had been more likable, it definitely would have been higher.
Overall I found this story to be a stunning beginning and I can't wait to delve into this powerful world that this author has created.
