Her name is Eve, and she was aptly named. The first female accepted into the Asset program, she was the first to rise to the top. She would also be the first woman to travel back in time, assigned with one target in mind: Enoch - one of the first vampires to walk the earth. Her mission was simple: Land, shove her stake through Enoch's black heart, run to safety, and jump off something really high so she could warp back home and carve out the life she's always wanted. The only problem was that time travel was more complicated than anyone realized. She was supposed to travel back seven days, but instead, landed in the middle of England in the year 1348, during the time of the Black Plague. Enoch never kept his true nature a secret. As a wealthy landowner, he protected and provided for the people under his care, and in exchange, they were more than willing to provide the scant amounts of blood he needed to survive. When a strange young woman showed up at his gate in the midst of the plague and then fell ill, he nursed her back to health. He'd never met anyone like Eve. She was intelligent and witty, and the most beautiful creature he'd ever laid eyes upon. And, he learned, the most dangerous. Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, kick-ass heroines, hot vampires, dystopian novels, paranormal romance, science fiction fantasy and time travel stories."Hang onto your bookmark, readers- you're in for one heck of an epic literary ride! Enter Eve, one seriously trained kick-ass heroine, with a hefty task at hand. The future of the world rests on her shoulders as she struggles to change the fate of mankind. The post-apocalyptic/dystopian world Casey Bond has created is beyond special. In the future vampires rule and humans are gruel, literally! Add a sprinkle of time travel, futuristic technology, smoldering chemistry and the mechanics of evil masterminds and we've got a series that is EVERYTHING! A stake is firmly planted in this reader's book loving heart and I'm thirsty for more!" - Cheer Papworth of Band of Dystopian

It could have been so much more

Reviewed in Australia on 7 June 2020

This is an Ok story. However, I find it incredibly disappointing when a time-travel novel has almost no historical information or interesting facts, and I am not even a history enthusiast.
Also, I understand that it must be difficult for an author to decide how quickly to hand over facts, or draw out a readers curiousity, I got bored. I did get the sequel, but only made it about 2/3 of the way through before ditching it. Each to their own....

Brilliant book!!!!

I’m first going to say....GRAB THIS BOOK NOW!!! I’m serious, NOW! What are you waiting for..GO!!
Now for my no spoilers review. I think this is my favorite book by this author. And I’ve read quite a few by her. I want everyone to know, this book is edited beautifully. I appreciate that as I never went huh....like with other authors books. Which is huge for me. All you have to do is get lost in the story. And you will get lost. And fall in love with beautifully written characters.
It is a vampire story but nothing I’ve ever read before. Has a dystopian feel too. ( which is one of my favorite genre )
Enoch, the way the author wrote him... WOW,YUMMY, why can’t he be real? Eve is a kick ass female. Strong, independent, smart. Great role model. There are characters you’ll hate. All good stories have them.
So, here’s my review. As I wait for next book, I’ll reread it. Yes, it’s that good.
Now, go, buy it, READ. GO!! What are you waiting for.

AMAZING

Wow, what an amazing adventure!! Bond has once again brought to life another fantastic story!!

The characters were incredible. I absolutely loved reading about Enoch and Eve. Both are very strong willed characters which made the story so addicting.

The story-line was unforgettable. At first I was a bit skeptical about reading a time travel story because usually full length novels such as this one tends to bore me and I loose interest in the story, but not this one. Bond kept me in suspense throughout the entire story as I continued to turn each page. And of course, this author has a knack for cliffhangers and here I am sitting on my metaphorical cliff waiting to find out what happens next. I WANT MORE!! I highly recommend this read!!

Wow what a book high! I’ve been in a serious book funk lately and High Stakes is just what I needed. I’ll be honest I was really scared to read it because I love this authors writing and this was a different genre. But OMG Casey Bond did not disappoint. I absolutely loved the world she built within High Stakes and the characters were just phenomenal. There was so much drama and suspense. Each turn of the page had you wanting more and Casey Bond brought it from beginning to end. Book one had me wondering what’s more to come and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us in book two, High Seas.

Recommend for anyone who likes vampire reads

Reviewed in the United States on 15 March 2019

High Stakes starts out really good! It goes right into the heart of things and doesn't lull in action. Eve is on a mission. She has to kill Enoch. Enoch is the leader and creator of the vampire race. Well, one of 3. Enoch and his siblings have filled the world with monsters and the human race is at war to stay alive. But the mission Eve is on and determined to carry out to the very end might be doomed before it even starts. Everything from the first sentence to the last sentence keeps you hanging on and interested. I absolutely loved this book. This book is definitely one I recommend.

LOVE!

Vampires and time travel?? Yes, please! This is an edge of your seat, need to know what happens next kind of read. And I love it! Eve is trained to kill vampires and becomes an Asset, an elite Hunter of sorts. She and 2 others go back in time to eliminate the threat so their current timeline is saved. What they find is unexpected and they start to discover who's the real monster(s) that threaten humanity. I enjoyed the characters and their development grows as the plot thickens. I can't wait to read the next book!
