I loved this books portrayal of vampires!! I find that stories where vampires are still able to be members of society are my favorite. I also liked how we got to hear about all the girls turning time during the hollowing, made be care about all of them a lot more. And this is how you do friends to lovers people, slow and steady but still pretty damn obvious on both ends. Not only that but there was an actually competent person (Zoey) who understood that sacrifices had to be made to help those around her. It was very very refreshing to see a character that thought critically though the whole book. And the description of the feral vampire sounds cool as hell and was a great way to make the vampire more dangerous.

I enjoyed it a lot more than My Dearest Darkest (which isn’t saying much since I DNF’d the book at 20% lol), but the author still tacks on the characters races as if she’s trying to let the readers know how “in” she is with diversity. This book would’ve benefited greatly from a few sensitivity readers, as it’s pretty obvious she doesn’t know how to write characters of colour in a way that feels natural and realistic.
