I enjoyed the beginning of the book. As soon as the plot was introduced to the story, the pace got sluggish and boring. I also think the progression of enemies to lovers wasn't long enough and feverish for me. There was a small minor changes to books about vampires like this one. I would have appreciated emphasize on differences of cures, that might have made this book more original. Despite minor shortcomings as mentioned, the story was engaging hence my being able to finish the book in few days.

This had been a highly anticipated read for me and unfortunately it was a very frustrating and draining experience. The characters, plot, honestly everything was just absolutely disappointing. The author had a great idea for a story but sadly the execution failed big time. This single handedly put me in a slump and I'm so irritatedđ

Started out with such an intriguing premise. Unfortunately, It failed to hit the mark for me. I basically had to force myself to finish. And the ending????
This was such a fun read!
I've put off reading this for a bit because I'm not the biggest vampire person in the world. I can enjoy it in very small doses, but I get bored with the concept very easily. However! This was such a breath of fresh air in that regard, I felt like they were handled in a way that humanized them without removing their monstrous tendencies which is a hard line to walk.
The rest of the book itself was really enjoyable and well-plotted. A bit predictable but it's YA so I'm not holding that against it. The first half of the book was my favorite, as it almost reminded me of a dark, aged-up Disney movie. The push and pull of the two characters was fun to read about.
I also appreciated the fact this book didn't shy away from heavier topics. They were spoken about with the gravity they deserved, while still keeping the book YA - another impressive feat.
Overall, I liked this and I look forward to reading the sequel.

I went into this book sooooo excited because âlesbian, vampire x vampire hunter, childhood best friends to enemies to lovers, during the Harlem Renaissanceâ sounds so good, right???? But the Harlem Renaissance barely plays into the story at all, the main characters felt very 2D (side characters were great though ngl) the two âlove interestsâ donât kiss until LITERALLY 94% INTO THE BOOK which like slow burn is great and all yes, but then at like, 98% they like, break up??? and the story beats kind of make no sense. The writing is great, but A LOT of editing needed to happen to the storyline for this book to be successful. I hope that the next book will be better thought out BUT ALSO end the YA duopoly industrial complex NOW like, most of these stories would do just fine as one concise book yk?

1926 Harlem. Vampires. Love and sacrifice.
Elise Saint and Layla Quinn. The tension that lingers in between them is crazyyyyy hot. However could that be all wrong ? Could everything Elise thought about Layla be wrong. This Ravenous Fate, will be the judge of that.
I really do hate the Saints (except Elise) from the time her parents came on page absolutely hated em. Sterling. I really wanted him to die or be turned. Not even part of the family but he is a SPITTING image of Tobias Saint. F*king losers
Layla ouuuuuu Layla thatâs my b!tch⌠I felt for her every step of them way. And the endingggggâŚ. I canât wait for the next one.

I don't know why it took me so long to sink my teeth into this (all pun intended) but one it had it's claws in me, I couldn't stop. Layla and Elise, top tier enemies to lovers. There is so much distrust between the two of them that I was on the edge the whole time to see how things would fall. Elise, I wanted to scream about your dad every page but I know why you held onto those rose-colored glasses for so long, I'm glad they're finally off. Layla, my love, you're not a monster, but I cannot wait to see you take on this leadership role more.
A fabulous debut that draws you in and devours you whole. This Ravenous Fate had me on the edge the whole book with gorgeous and vivid details coupled with astounding character development and plot twists that I never saw coming.
