Taken by Fate by Shannon Mayer

Oh my gods!! The story is SUCH a good one and I'm just so frustrated I have to wait for the next two parts to come out! 
We meet Sienna, a unique girl who's adopted little brother was taken by werewolves and she's bound to get him back. She finds herself a captive of the Vampire nation forced into a Bachelorette-Hunger Games type situation. 
The tense situations, the spicy thoughts she and The General have for each other and the random spots of humor come together in a beautiful mixture that is very much like LotR but with Vampires and Werewolves, Fae and Others. 
10/10 recommend for anyone who wants a darker fantasy romance story. Tbh, I liked it better than ACOTAR as it is faster paced and so well written that it could be cinematic
