5.0

this book was a wild ride. it took me on a rollercoaster of emotions! the characters were so easy to love and it was easy to imagine what each of them looked like. the background was very interesting and at no point did i really know how the end was going to turn out. it was predictable for a few aspects, but overall i absolutely adored the writing style. the author definitely kept her readers hooked the entire time. poppy was definitely one of my all-time favorite main characters and i’m excited to see her continuing adventures in the next book!

A decent vampire romance with a complex plot. Gender nonconforming readers should be aware that Armentrout inexplicably uses the terms “fe/male” as signifiers of gender. Also, there is a dubious consent kissing scene early in the novel, which I will not mark as a spoiler because I would have liked to know it was there myself.

I regret everything I've ever said about this book. It's starts off pretty slow, but after the Rite, things start to pick up. I've never really been a fan of the "Enemies to lovers" trope but this was pretty good. I wouldn't recommend for anyone with low patience though. Stick it though the end, you'll enjoy it ❤❤❤❤
