This is Ms. Murphy’s first book to be published in actual paper. You might think that in that case I’d go easy on her in this review.

Be Ours Forever is a story about love, power, trust, outdated conservative political entities, telepathic group sex, sadistic monsters, nontraditional family units, and lots and lots of vampires.
