"It's a dangerous game you play, vieille amie," he murmured.
They didn't understand what a burden it could be. Immortality means living forever, with every bad memory and ugly mistake, every betrayal and emotional wound. But people had to experience it to understand it.
'Renie, I believe someone may have been trying to kill you."
There is no greater loneliness than immortality.

I recieven this book from Netgalley in return for my honest opinion.
I kinda liked the book, but it also felt too much like it was written by a Wattpad author. Yes, I am aware that this book is by Wattpad, but it really felt like some sort of fanfic is some way. The story was fun, the idea of some sort of house full of vampires and it gave me some sort of Love Island kinda idea. You know, a house full of celebs and everybody wants to watch/ join. Renie wasn't my favorite but she had her bits and pieces that I enjoyed. I did understand why she joined the house.
Over all the book was okay. It was just a bit too much Wattpad still for me. I don't really like those stories anymore.

Reinie arrive à Belle Morte. C'est une maison où vivent des vampires. Les vampires, depuis une dizaine d'années, sont devenus les nouvelles stars. Et dans ces maisons où ils se regroupent, ils accueillent des donneurs, prêts à tout pour côtoyer leurs idoles, même donner leur sang.
Mais Reinie n'est pas là pour ça. Elle veut juste retrouver sa sœur, qui a mystérieusement disparu. Et malgré elle, dans sa quête, elle se retrouve attirée sans se l'expliquer par un vampire. Et progressivement, au fil de son enquête, sa vision des vampires change, elle ne les considère plus comme des monstres.
De bonnes choses dans ce roman, qui m'ont attirée. Une enquête au milieu des vampires, une femme de caractère, un enemies to lovers. Mais pour moi il y a quelque chose qui coince dans l'intrigue, et je ne parviens pas à savoir quoi. Peut-être la temporalité : tout va trop vite. Elle déteste les vampires, mais est attirée par l'un d'eux dès la première rencontre. Elle n'a pas d'amis dans le monde extérieur, et elle devient meilleure amie avec deux autres donneurs. Elle parvient rapidement à retrouver sa soeur, mais mets un temps infini à pouvoir faire quelque chose pour l'aider. Ca grippe dans les rouages, et c'est ce qui explique ma note moyenne.

Thank you to NetGalley and wattpad books for allowing me to obtain an arc in exchange for an honest review! All thoughts and opinions are mine and mine alone.
I liked this one! A little cheesy- but I believe this is targeted towards a YA/NA leading audience so the cheese amount worked. While vampires being out in the open isn’t something new in the paranormal realm, it is for this sub genre I think. I can see this one being on the paranormal/ya romance tiktok-booktok trends. The ending was (predictable) but led to a great cliffhanger for the next book(s) in the series and makes me look forward to it.

This is my kind of book really, it's got vampires, a missing person, an angsty teen and some romance. A very easy read, whizzed through in about two days. I enjoyed the premise, the protagonist's sister has gone missing at a vampire house and she's gone to find out whats happened by becoming a donor herself. I'm not going to say this book is groundbreaking in any way, but it's a fun easy read for those who love a bit of fantasy romance. I will say I found it quite easy to predict what was going to happen, I would have enjoyed it if the 'twists' had been a little less obvious.
Thanks to Netgalley for a free copy!

** 3.5 stars rounded up
I wanted to love this book so much more than I did. It wasn’t bad but wasn’t amazing. Luckily the very ending wound up being interesting so I will more than likely continue this series. Plus it’s vampires and even when i don’t love it, i still love it.

This book was a fun, easy read and just what I was looking for when I picked it up. The world that Higgin has created reminds me of Chloe Neill’s Chicagoland Vampires series (not a bad thing). I really enjoy vampire books where vampires are part of society in some way, rather than living on the outskirts. It’s definitely YA, but there’s enough spice to keep things interesting
