Reviews - This Ravenous Fate

I was really excited for this book, but I think the world building struggled a lot. I just didn't feel like the 1920s of "our world" part and then the lore of the "vampire world" part meshed very well together. It seemed like the author only described one of these worlds at a time and they just felt very separate to me. Also, I found the main character pretty out of touch, which several characters called out but then would still kind of bend to her will and give her a pass which I found frustrating.

i liked elise and layla as characters and their relationship but the plot itself didn’t really make sense at times i had fun tho

i think the author has a lot of potential and this book is decent for a debut novel cant wait to see what she does next

I realized I don't want to waste my time forcing myself to read a book when I could be excitedly tearing through a new book that I like.

This captivating, heart-wrenching, Black lesbian vampire story, set in a fictional 1920s Harlem, is perfect for fans of a paranormal friends-to-enemies-to-lovers trope featuring forbidden romance. Highly recommend!

kinda really wish this was a standalone i feel like it would’ve been an easy 4-5 stars for me but

having elsie character assassinate herself at the end by killing valeriya was so ooc it felt like drama to make another book

. loved most of the book but the ending really took me out of it

It was quick to read, and I could’ve finished it, but it wouldn’t have been more than 3.25✨’s max, and I have so many other books I could be reading and enjoying more.
