It was super slow. And Matthew is a red flag dressed in a sexy vampire suit in many ways.

The pacing keeps this from being a five star for me - it’s a lot of slowing down for science when I’m about seeing the supernaturals interacting - but I still enjoy the story so I’ll be continuing. And things did seem to speed up the further I got into the book. 
 (that said,  it’s entirely possible this might be the rare case where I prefer the tv adaptation over the books in the end) 

The relationship between Diana and Matthew feels like it moves impossibly fast and slow at the same time, which is a strange sort of magic of its own, I guess 

The book’s timeline being less than two months, and they’re already ‘married’ and talking about a future with potential children. So that’s quick. 
But slow in that they’ve not done things that typical married people wanting kids might do to accomplish that goal…if you catch my drift? Seems odd?
