These are decent enough quality for a Kindle Unlimited series but I also do not care about the characters very much. Raihn does not read as a vampire of his age and most of the time he and Oraya seemed like they were the same age.

Thank you Bramble Books / Macmillan Publishing for the ARC. 

I greatly enjoyed book two of the Nightborn Duet. I appreciate a strong FMC who is not afraid to grow and challenge themself. I also greatly appreciate the depiction of a relationship where boundaries are respected. I enjoy Carissa Broadbent’s world building and all of her characters. I recommend this series over ACOTAR and Iron Flame. 

“Oraya didn’t need to be saved. She just needed a soul beside her in the dark walk to her own potential. Someone to protect her until she was strong enough to save herself.”
