I did like how this was a similar ish base concept to the book From Blood and Ash, where there is a main leading lady and a mysterious leading man comes into her life, where they forge a bond that stands against all other odds. I did find this book more engaging because they were in a hunger games esque competition, and thus it was far more interesting than FBAA imo.
I found the lore of the different vampire types to be confusing (probably because I was listening to the audio book and usually eyeball to read). My friend recommended this to me and told me that understanding the different types of vampires is not as important for this book, and that the next book will go into it further.
I plan on reading the next book and hope that it does not take a similarly boring turn as the FBAA universe does, because I could not get myself to finish it after the 3rd book.
