Good old fashioned vampire Hugh fantasy with a side of unhinged FMC that really worked for me.

If you enjoy fantasy plot lines about female characters growing up thinking they have to be the perfect weapon to be taken seriously, you will enjoy this book. Definite Jude vibes (FotA series).

It just fell flat at the end.

The forced marriage plot

was deeply frustrating, and the fact that all these two has to do was COMMUNICATE THE BAREST AMOUNT to avoid

another deadly war

was kind of infuriating at the end. The writer's grammar leaves much to be desired and I swear to God if she does the triplicate thing over (and over and over) in the next book I *will* DNF it. Loopholes and editing problems abound: you're telling me a 20 year old living in vampire territory isn't worried about her period? Also certain sentences/descriptions are repeated in the book in difficult situations, ie: he pissed himself, bleeding is bad, etc. 

Enjoyable read though, but it was very much a "kinda want to see what happens" vibe that drew me to ordering the next book, not a "I need to know what happens NOW".

This book was fast paced, violent, action packed with a bit of romance. The ending was a bit predictable but I had fun reading it.

one thing about me is i am an absolute SLUT for fantasy romances... this was no exception
it picked up so much in the second half of the book i am obsessed with oraya and raihn's dynamic... the forced proximity was so good and i just know the next book is going to slay too
