The smut was A1 and it was all thanks to not using slit unless it was referring to eyes. The plot twists go crazy and the worldbuilding is so good. It feels satisfying to have the word vampry used at the end of the book because like… you know! … but the confirmation is nice and like. Rounds out out really well. I love.

I didn’t like the pacing at the beginning of this book, but I did like when I got to about the halfway point. I find the story to be really interesting and the twist to be super cool but, I wish I had more of the action in the earlier parts of the book but I suppose it’s a set up for the rest of the series. I like the characters and I find them to all the really interesting. I am excited to continue the series!


Edit: I should not have rated this so high. I DNF’d the series 🤪

This took me a while (for me) to read because it just wasn't doing it for me. I wasn't drawn to the characters, the plot, or even the romance. The world building was confusing, but it did start to make some sense by the end. I could see the big reveal of the male MC a mile away. The writing was repetitive (we get it, he has dimples) and it was too descriptive at times, making the book longer than needed. 

I haven't heard good things about the rest of the series, so I don't think I'll continue. I'll probably spoil the rest of it. I never felt myself get invested, and I feel that's important to continue a series, especially with lengthy books such as this one.
