I almost never DNF a book, but after 170 pages of the cringiest stuff I’ve read in a long time, I couldn’t do it anymore. This is coming from someone who loved teenage vampire books when I was actually a teenager. I’ll probably read a synopsis to find out what happens because on top of being incredibly boring and me hating all of the characters, I’m 1/3 through the book and don’t even know this is a supernatural book.
I love brooding and angst, but the main characters were so bland and the writing was so cringe-inducing that I hated all of it. I just can’t.

¿Saben lo cómico?
Que esta sea mi primera lectura del año, y que la disfruté. Además que la disfruté de una forma que fue muy peculiar: Lo sentí como una parodia cómica a las novelas de fantasía.
Es raro, pero a ver, desde hace rato comencé a indagar y buscar información de esta saga que CLARAMENTE quiero leer, por que siempre me intrigó. Y una vez empecé a leerlo, pasé por muchos momentos de que "éste cliché me lo conozco" y me daba risa como se ejecutaba.
En serio, las 4 estrellas son por todos los chistes y cringe que me causó el libro. La trama es de lo más cliché y no es nada nuevo de lo que nos hayamos perdido hoy en día en historias de fantasía.
Además que me daba mucha risa la "inocencia" y desorientación de la protagonista. Siempre como que le faltaban 2 dedos de frente para darse cuenta que A SU ALREDEDOR EN UN CASTILLO EN LA MITAD DE LA NADA, TODOS ANDAN SIN CAMISA y se cuestione "¿Será. normal esa gente?". AMIGA NO SE DIME TÚ, PREGUNTALE AL MINO QUE SE LLEVÓ DOS MALETAS CON TODA TU VIDA ADENTRO Y CONTIGO CARGADA EN UN HOMBRO. Jamás en la vida voy a superar eso asjfhajksfhajksf.
Pero aún así me gustó mucho el plot y toda la trama que conlleva la saga. Me leí la sinopsis del segundo y utiliza el cliché que más he odiado en mi vida. Así que tendré que morderme la lengua o quien sabe, capaz sea más cómico y divertido reírme de como se ejecutan los clichés.
Me encantan los personajes por que todos son como "esta niña no sabe nada de nosotros, que risas jajaja veámoslo una maratón de Legacies a ver si se da cuenta" SPOILER: Nunca se da cuenta hasta que se lo dicen como 7 veces en la cara jajajajaja.
4 estrellas por muchas risas y comedias. No le doy cinco por que las últimas 100 páginas me aburrieron un poco.

1.5⭐️
Well that was... how do I say this nicely... interesting? Yeah, interesting is the best word I can think of. I did not enjoy this book at all. Yes, I did finish it, and happy I did, and I'm happy it's over. Get ready, it's about to become a ruthless review.
Was it utterly horrible? No. Then why the bad rating, I hear you ask? Well, if I could describe this book in one word, it would be cringe. Every word that came out of Grace's mouth was an attempt at being witty or sensitive but it sounded just... cringey? At least it made me laugh, hence the half star. Second hand embarrassment is never a good thing to have but at least it's funny. I lost it at 'the hottest guys in school are obsessed with you'... people actually say that?? Also she was there for 3 days and she swore she was in love with a guy who treats her like crap, classic love story right? I rolled my eyes so hard and so many times I now know what my brain looks like (thank you Grace).
As for the plot in itself, it was just so slow. It took Grace 300 pages to figure out what was obvious from the beginning, and the way she handled it... miss girl, no one would react the way you did, at least make it believable. And even after that, the story still didn't go anywhere. It only really got there in the last 100 pages or so, and can I remind you, this book is over 500 pages? EXCRUCIATINGLY SLOW.
I did like Tracy's writing style. It reads easy, it reads fast. I think this is her debut novel (don't come at me if it's not), so that is actually really impressive.
So yeah, overall this was really a miss for me. I don't know if the sequels are any better, I don't know if I'll ever pick them up. I might need some convincing for that.

I didn't have high hopes for this. I thought it's going to be a light and fun vampire romance and a not-so-subtle rip-off of Twilight. And maybe it is a fun read later on (it's definitely a Twilight rip-off), but I just couldn't get past the ridiculousness of the writing in this. It reads like a Wattpad fanfic, and not a good one. I listened to the first five chapters on audio and the main heroine sound like the most annoying teenager. She starts every second sentence with "I mean..." or "Like.." and every guy is "Hot AF" and she's not like other girls because she's traumatized. She sounds so stupid and then she quotes Shakespear because, of course, she does. It's just not for me. A 13-year-old version of me might have liked this but my adult ass just cringed and laughed.
