Synopsis
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.

Review
The Replacement is sort of like a paranormal bachelor. And let me tell you, I am here for it!
I found this whole world to be very interesting. This idea is that the royal vampires pick their wives from humans and treat it like a reality dating show. There is also the whole feud between the vampires and the witches. I like that and the mythology behind that. The world-building in this was excellent, and I know there is still much more to learn, but I am satisfied with what was done in this book.
I enjoyed the characters. August, of course, is very smooth and pretty typical of what you would think of as a vampire bachelor. Emery, for the position she was put in, had a good head on her shoulders, and the chemistry between them was palpable. I also really enjoyed Malcolm, and honestly, if I was choosing a brother, it would be him, but he’s not the crown prince, so…
The one thing I didn’t love about this book was the ending. I have to say this book has one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to these types of books. I am sure that it is crucial to the story, so I’m going to give the benefit of the doubt here, but It doesn’t me I have to like it.
Overall this was a great paranormal romance, and I am very excited to read the next book in the series!
