I’ve never been a huge fan of James Patterson novels, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that a book under his imprint didn’t blow me away.

It might be a reading slump, but I didn’t really connect with any of the characters. It was all right, but not enough for me to want to pick up book 2. Which is kind of a – bad – feat in itself, since I’m pretty much always down for anything that includes vampire lore.

Absolutely obsessed with this series! I’m not one to read mistery but this book has the perfect mix of everything, including a brown-haired sarcastic intelligent love interest. I saw the ending coming, but at the same time I didn’t which is always a plus. Also, I loved both Audrey Rose and Thomas; they reminded me so much of Connor and Rose Cobalt from the Addicted series. Audrey Rose is such a feminist icon tbh. 
Excited to see how it’ll continue!

Overall Thoughts:
⁕ The amount of gore in the book was astronomical, and I enjoyed how sickeningly fascinated Audrey is by it. For a YA book, such characterization really stood out to me.

⁕ I did not like Thomas at all. I didn’t understand the motivation for his actions, he’s annoyingly arrogant, and the author uses his “power of deduction” to act as a plot device when, in reality, his ability to pluck the right answers out of thin air is a bit ridiculous.

⁕ I’m unsure about calling this a feminist text. I like the message that girls can care about looks and also be smart/strong. Still, Maniscalco portrays the other female characters as less than Audrey because of their traditionally “feminine” interests.
