The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean

The Book Eaters by Sunyi DeanOut on the Yorkshire Moors lives a secret line of people for whom books are food, and who retain all of a book's content after eating it. To them, spy novels are a peppery snack; romance novels are sweet and delicious. Eating a map can help them remember destinations, and children, when they misbehave, are forced to eat dry, musty pages from dictionaries. Devon is part of The Family, an old and reclusive clan of book eaters. Her brothers grow up

she knows she must take humanity’s revenge into her own hands

or for the complicated fire that burns the moment she looks their way

And the one man I swore by all Olympus I would destroy

especially one who was once a slave

In the East

a little rough around the edges

he's drawn into the world of magic and intrigue he's worked so hard to avoid - and is pulled deeply into the ravenous and bloodthirsty court of the vampire king

juggling two jobs

He never gets naughty with a girl

it feels like everything is falling into place

No one knows the extent of the freshly crowned Shadow King’s power

I have a simple plan
