I don’t generally like vampire stories and this was borderline too dark/ bloody for me, but it is so well written it was worth stepping out of my comfort zone.

I really enjoyed this. I loved that the characters were so multi-faceted, no one ever just a protagonist or antagonist. I took off .5 star from my review because it felt a bit long-winded, I think it could have been trimmed down a bit.
I really wanted to love this, but there's something about vampire stories that I just can not enjoy. I thought maybe this one would change my mind, but no, vampires are not for me.
The writing was exquisite, though. Despite the vampires, the story was powerful and timely. I thought the storylines came together well, and the ending was good (not rushed). It did have an Addie LaRue feel. I will have to pick up some more stories by this author.

Well, this was dark and good with a little bit of an ode to the vampire books of the past (looking at you “Twilight” and “Interview with a Vampire”) centering around three female vampires spread over 400 years and ones need to keep another all to herself.

Stopped about a third of the way in. It just isn't holding my attention, pacing is a little too slow and I don't feel invested in what happens to the characters. I might pick it up later and try again. I was listening to the audio which did make it easier to distinguish between the different characters.

This was a great story and the narration was excellent by multiple people. I’m not sure what part could’ve been cut out, but by the end it seemed like it was just getting a bit long.
It had a satisfying ending that I wasn’t expecting. I liked that not all the conventional vampire tropes were followed.
