It was entertaining but at the same time a little too slow for my taste. Elena isn’t a very interesting character yet and I feel no emotional connections to any characters. Nothing really happened. I thought there would be more fantastical fun

the relationship moved exceptionally quickly, made it feel a bit hollow

. Overall, entertaining, exciting, mysterious and enticing. I enjoy vampire novels.
