Beautiful writing
This book is so well written, especially the relationships between characters. Poppy is such a strong female character, fierce and independent, yet also naive and innocent. She wants so badly to live in a world where she hasn't been allowed that it makes it easy for Hawke to come and so her things she thought she'd never had. The world and culture is fascinating, a new take on a classic vampire/werewolf tale. The need, desire, loss, and betrayel just broke my heart over and over; yet I still couldn't put the book down. I can't wait to pick up the second and third book and see how this story unfolds.

Bipolar fighting maiden falls in love with a guy she’s not supposed to. They murder several people/creatures to defend their beliefs.

Some of the best spice i've ever read.
But sooo much repetition throughout the book. It could have been half the length

After reading this book, I’m not sure why I originally put off reading it for so long. I have had this series in my TBR for a while and just never started the books but I am glad I did. I’m intrigued and excited to see what happens next.
