DID NOT FINISH: 60%

Dnf at 60% - I just did not care. Celie was such a weak and honestly at times dumb character... i couldn't take it anymore. Also I just did not care what happened. And I felt like not a lot happened in almost 400 pages so I could do without the last part.

This was not it.
It felt empty.

This story just didn't pull me in, and it was so hard to try and push through.

While I regret not reading Serpent & Dove after finding out this was a sequel series, this book was AMAZING. I loved it a lot, possibly because of Dimitri at the start but Lou and Coco are also such lovely people. Célie was a real protagonist, she didn't have a strength that outshone the rest and her trauma was so powerful that it didn't matter that she was over-emotional at times. Michal was an okay character but their romance could have come a slight bit faster. We also never got much information about him, which is slightly disappointing since he's the love interest.

I went into this book knowing I would love it bc it’s Shelby’s book and it has vampires in it…and ofc I was right. I devoured this book as best I could with my work schedule and loved every moment of it. I'm genuinely sad I can't read it again for a first time
