The writing is horrible. The story line didn’t pick up until the last 30 pages. Lots of grammar and spelling mistakes. Felt like the spicer scenes repeated themselves and the main character is supposedly a top vampire hunter but all she does throughout the book is pull her sword out and hold it to someone neck….every other page…just very bad book. Love the concept, wish it went differently.

Likes:

• The enemies-to-lovers is giving.
• Top tier spicy scenes! 
• Keir is so hot 🥵 
• Love the vampire-hunter dynamic

Dislikes:

• Silvia is almost too bitchy at times and then she flips pretty quickly into liking Keir. Their whole relationship kinda felt like it was a bit rushed on attraction alone. I would’ve liked to see them bond over a bit more
• Sometimes the plot felt a little all over the place - the double crossing and guessing who’s the bad guy kind of made me just not like everyone

Kind of a mess. Poorly edited. World building is wonky. Some of it was hot?

Vampire lesbiche, un'ottima premessa vero? Letto in meno di 24 ore, mi sarà piaciuto molto, no? 

No, o meglio, dopo due o tre capitoli iniziale in cui la scrittura lascia molto a desiderare, l'opera ha cominciato ad appassionarmi così come la storia. Purtroppo il finale, intendendolo più o meno dall'ultimo 16%, non mi è piaciuto per niente. L'ho trovato parecchio affrettato e non adatto ad un libro che viene in parte venduto come paranormal romance, visto la facilità con cui la protagonista

supera il fatto che Keir abbia avuto una parte, più o meno direttamente, nella sua tortura

, o meglio: l'autrice che questo grosso conflitto risolto, ma il processo che porta alla sua risoluzione. Ciò però non mi permette di essere soddisfatta della conclusione della loro storia.

Inoltre, credo che entrambe le protagoniste avrebbero beneficiato di maggiore comunicazione reciproca, ma è il minore dei problemi.

In conclusione, sono passata da una lettura tutto sommato piacevole e coinvolgente, a una che mi ha lasciato parecchio delusa.
