I think this book had potential and an interesting concept, however, for me it fell flat. I was not engaged. Most of it felt almost superficial. Like the stakes shouldâve been tense, but they werenât. I think because there was too many point of views and we never really dug deeper into them then the superficial. And I think that can work sometimes (ie Agatha Christie), but then the plot needs to hit harder. In addition, i think there were too many unnecessary details. Like I donât need to know that she drove a mazda passed the 7/11 listening to Dixie chicks. Like these kind of details can be fun if used sparingly. Here itâs every other page. Minimum. I think if this was fixed then this couldâve been excellent. I think the characters we did meet were very distinct and realistic in their descriptions. So on the surface I was excited, but then left wanting. The descriptions were also excellent, conjuring images in my mindâs eye.
Thank you to NetGalley and Minotaur for providing an advance reader copy of this book for my honest review.

i feel like everything wrapped up too quickly but i really liked the premise of the story. wouldâve loved to see more of the relationship between grace and sam but maybe thatâs just my vampire romance love talking

Such a fun book! A little uneven, but a strong debut with a unique point of view. Can't wait to read more in this series!
