I was really looking forward to this book because I LOVED Addie LaRue. This book is also about immortality, but very different. A woman, Maria, wants to escape her marriage, so she visits a witch, Sabine, and asks for freedom. In doing so, she becomes a vampire, hungry for blood. This leads to an intricate tale of multiple women becoming immortal after being bitten. There is also Charlotte and Alice in this tale, and how their lives intertwine over the centuries.
But when it becomes too much, are they able to truly break free?
I felt it went on a bit too long, and the love was twisted, not real.

I think I found the characters really hard to like which made this book all the more interesting.
The ending was interesting… can’t say anything more than that without spoiling.
Do know the real ending of the book in its published form is different to the ARC so keen to watch a video of a reader comparing the two to see how it differed.
But gotta say this was a really good book I enjoyed it a lot.
The fact that I returned all my KU books (of dark mafia romances) and refused to read them cause they were boring and dry FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! Says a whole lot about this book.

I could not get into the characters nor the story. It seemed to disjointed in the beginning and nothing grabbed my attention enough to want to continue reading

I don’t even know where to start with this book because I just loved it so damn much, no words will do it justice. It’s dark and queer and just everything I’ve ever wanted from a book and everything I didn’t know I wanted from a book. It’s word feel etched on my bones, I’m always going to carry this one with me and I sincerely hope everyone finds a book that makes them feel like this at least once in their life. It’s such an indescribable feeling.

No regrets reading this book, but it was not for me… I kept waiting to become invested or feel satisfied with any of the characters and it just never happened. Which is unfortunate bc there’s not much plot outside of the characters existing. I also wanted a passionate love story, but again the romantic relationship was just a vessel for exploring the characters. Unexpected but lackluster ending as well.
