This was an action-backed continuation to Elena and Raphael’s love story in which interest in Elena’s new existence puts her in danger from all corners. I didn’t love this as much as I did the first book perhaps because it was more action-packed than character-based. I think there was still a good amount of romance but it was very much action around a specific event- everything felt very much like it was leading up to Lijuan’s gathering and so it for that reason at times felt a bit slow and slightly less compelling than book 1, even though it was still super interesting and did keep my attention. This series is fire. I don’t know what’s coming next with the Lijuan angle if anything- that resolution came so fast that I can’t believe it is over. Super excited to read the next book and glad that I’m only just starting the series so I can have a good binge catching up.

As much as I love this series I find that I find this book a little less fun to read. Seeing Elena get used to her new immortality and her relationship with Raphael grow stronger is good. But the side plot of Anushka didn't draw me in so much as it made me feel it was a distraction from the main plot.

An important part of the series still though.
