The Replacement

A Culling of Blood and Magic, Book 1

By: K.M. Rives

Narrated by: Simon Dornet, Lauren Ezzo

She was never meant to be a member of the Culling. He was never supposed to find his mate. Fate stepped in to ensure both.

There was only one reason the bond would choose Emery Montgomery. Her twin was dead. As soon as the silver band of the Culling appeared on her wrist, binding her to the vampire prince himself, her world turned upside down.

Forced to compete for the heart of her enemy in an archaic version of The Bachelor, Emery had only three things on her mind: Keep her witch heritage a secret, find her sister's murderer, and above all, don't fall for the sinfully handsome prince.

August Nicholson wanted nothing to do with the pompously groomed women in his Culling, that was, until Emery showed up. She was unlike any other, calmed the dark twisted side of him few knew existed.

Instantly drawn to her, August must struggle against her intoxicating presence, because while he may want her for himself, he needs her to play her part to protect his family more.

Together, Emery and August must fight their feelings and find the culprit behind her twin's murder, because if the Montgomery women were being hunted, Emery was next.

Contains mature themes.

It was ok

I have mixed feelings, about everything lol, the narrators were ok, although you could hear a lot of breathing and gulping. Anyway, the story was a bit slow which is understandable for a series but I don’t know lol, it was ok.

One of my favorites

This is only the second time I have fallen so in love with a book, I bought the second to actually read because it's not on Audible yet. it's absolutely amazing.

Surpringly good!

Loved the twist on the Vampire and Witch lore. I'm excited to start book 2 and see where we go from here.

Not a fan of the narration style. there are few male narrators that can accomplish a good female voice and this is true in this version as well. Wish it had been a duet.

Excellent Storyline!

I was actually impressed with this book! The whole story is on another level. I'll definitely be waiting for the 2nd book! Great job, narrators!

WHY have I never heard of this series? IT'S SO GOOD!

No one in my book girly group have ever heard of this series, yet it's better than any of my recent reads.. I'm telling everyone to read it, the hard part is waiting for SOMEONE to get to it so I have someone to talk about it with..
