This second book had more plot outside of the main couple going on than the first one, and I liked how it allowed for more character introductions and exploration of the supernatural community of New Orleans. You can definitely tell the author is drawing from her own love of the city, so it's a little "spend a day in New Orleans like a local!" but not in a really overt way. More focus on the vampire community this time around and a mystery to investigate.
Isadora is a little guarded at first in an understandable way, and while Devraj is a bit pushy about making her like him, it is sweet when they eventually get together and he becomes very doting.

this series is everything!!!! i’m loving the family vibes from these sisters, the love interests are SOOOO HOT, and the paranormal world is just so fun.
isadora is just such a relatable fmc. i felt so seen with her and loved being inside her head. devraj is SO FCKING HOT, like bro… 🥵🤭😮💨 love love love him. and he was also just really sweet, kinda cocky, and just all around an amazing mmc.
this was just a fun time - i love how it’s a romance plot but we also get a slightly suspenseful subplot going on in each book. it just makes even more enjoyable!! (also there is super hot sex too.. in case you were wondering 😏🤭)

The shy, introverted Savoie witch, Isadora, gets her chance at love in a surprising run in with the sexy Bollywood star and vampire, Devraj.

Isadora and Devraj, what an opposite pair they are. But, hey, opposites attract, right? It took me longer than I expected to warm up to both of these characters. Don't get me wrong, I loved them dearly, but I wasn't as invested in their romance as quickly as I was for Evie and Mateo in Wolf Gone Wild, ya know? I think some of that is that I just had a hard time relating to both Isadora and Devraj as characters? I don't shy away from all attention like Isadora, I love being social (on my terms at least); and Devraj's lifestyle--the Bollywood, the world-traveling, the money--is so foreign to me too. I'd love to be able to afford some of that lifestyle, but I wouldn't want to have to live it full time.
But the plot itself, the blood trafficking ring popping up right under Ruben's nose, yikes!! We all know Reuben was pissed about that, and I can't wait for everything between him and Jules to come to a head (that books is going to be such a satisfying resolution to an epic slow burn romance). I wish the resolution of all that hadn't been just the last 10% of the book though. I would've liked to see a bit more breathing room at the very end for more relationship building, but I also recognize it was probably the same in the first book as well, but I was so engrossed in the story that I barely paid attention to those numbers? I think I had a few more interruptions in my reading time that put more awareness into that timing than usual.
I loved how much Isadora and Devraj kept telling themselves "oh, they couldn't possibly feel the same way about me" through the whole book. Opposites attract is a beloved trope for a reason, and these two were a perfect pair once they stopped getting in their own ways! I loved getting snippets of Devraj's past and nods to his Indian/ Hindu upbringing and the fun Bollywood references. Seeing Isadora slowly climb out of the shell she built for herself and grow in her own confidence was empowering to read. We've all gone through some level of that at some point and seeing the supportive community she has for herself help her realize that was so satisfying to read.
Already downloaded the next book, and can't wait to see how the always lovely, fantastically witchy Savoie sisters keep meeting their adorable matches in their supernatural New Orleans community!
