I loved this book. This was a quick and easy read with interesting world building and characters. It would have been 5 stars except for a few things. I felt the romance was to fast, and just the plot of the story going to fast and to predictable. But their was also a few things that still left me confused and wasn't explained well enough. But all in all, I did enjoy this book and I'm reading the next one

Why did this stay on my TBR for so long? I am a sucker for a good vampire, enemies to lovers novel. You get found family, touch them and die energy, FMC who will stab you, world building, lifetime between lovers, spice, and betrayals.

I don’t usually post reviews but y’all, I’m upset. I wanted to DNF this so badly, but the hype around this book made me push through. I have been utterly betrayed by bookstagram. Swindled. Hoodwinked. This book was an absolute dumpster fire!! I love me a good slow burn, enemies to lovers, fantasy romance, and with vampires?! Should be a good read for me!! But TELL ME HOW they’re clarting by page 80?!?! Which enemy are you dropping your panties for that quickly?! Nahhh not for this gyal. Also, the love interest was an absolute ass, Isolde should’ve burnt that bloodsucka to a crisp once she found Safira naked in his bed. Just for her to look Isolde right in the face and tell her she’s been there for three nights?! RUH, THREE NIGHTS!! THE AUDACITY! and then she gets pissed at shorty but hate fucks her man?!! nuh nuh nuh this was some medieval Twilight KhloexTristanxJordan shit.
The only thing that kept me from throwing this book across my room was the history of the world they’re living in. The world building was half decent and therefore saved the book for me but the main characters embody everything that can be toxic about love, sex and intimacy. In retrospect, considering how many books I have on my TBR, I really should’ve DNF’d this

This is pretty bad with a lot of ridiculous moments. The writing is over the top and the mythology and world building is lacking and a bit disorganized. Also has the most toxic couple ever.
There were a lot of times where the plot got kinda lost?? So many moments that never got resolved and I was left with more questions than answers. And the plot twist was melodramatic at best—despite the author dropping hints along the way—but then also it was just never explained why that happened.
It is definitely not the most thought provoking book ever, or at all.
I still ate it up for some reason when I should’ve just DND’d it.
