I wish Goodreads had half stars because while this book doesn't deserve 4 stars, it definitely doesn't deserve 3! A definite 3.5

There was a lot about this book that I liked, but I just couldn't love it no matter how much I wanted too, although I have nothing but good things to say about it.

First thing, I really enjoyed both main characters. Raze was particularly lovely to read about.

Secondly, the story line was refreshing. I loved how even though it was set in an incredibly short time frame, it didn't feel forced or cheesy and that it didn't have some dramatic *all is happy* ending which wouldn't of fitted such a short novella.

Thirdly, I love a short book which is probably the reason I liked this as much as I did. Any longer I think I'd of gotten a little annoyed at Adrian, which leads me to worry about the first book in the actual trilogy that focuses on Adrian, with a storyline I normally avoid. Although I will definitely read it as I enjoyed Sylvia Days' writing style and I like the plot which included nearly ever PNR character you can think of!

Fun and witty. I love the way Sylvia Day writes. I went into this book with the intent on a fast cute read. And now I'm off to look up all the books in this series cuz I need to know what Raze is up to next. And can anyone tell me where I can find my own Raze?

Just another short story I downloaded for free on my Kindle from Amazon. I don't want to be mean, but - it's not a wonder it's free. It's not that good. Storytelling is very confusing, I know that author is very excited about a new world that she invented and that this should be a prequel, but a lot of characters are thrown in and connections are not very clear. It did not raise enough interest in me, to read first part of the series.

I put something on an angel shelf and something on a vampire shelf at the same time because I'm a bad person.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
