Twilight but make it gen z. That’s it, that’s the review. 


Just kidding. 
As someone who was a teenager when twilight hit the shelves, no YA vampire love story is going to touch it. But I can fully appreciate the audience this was written for and know that it’s successful in its execution. The issues for me lie specifically with just how painfully, cringing-ly (this is a word now) Gen Z it is. I don’t enjoy dialogue that includes “AF” unironically (and all the time). The characters are dumb, lovable but dumb, and i think that’s a disservice to all of them. The fact that Twilight, as a book, exists in this universe and it is GIVEN to the protagonist as a very obvious gift/clue and she still can’t figure what’s going on? The reader is never going to believe that. But someone could easily have similar gripes about Twilight, and I refuse to reconsider the 5 star the rating my teen heart gave those books. So, I get it. This is definitely that for some swooning teens out there 

I devoured this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely continue the series!

The fighting scene was pretty dope, but this was way to much romance for me. Too intense, too young.

I will be reading the next book tho 👀

Ok so first of all, it is not a twilight rip off, and i can say that as twilight was the last book ive read. But you know it really has elemntw of twilight and legacies and all of those Vampire stereotypes, but they actually address Thema, which makes this book totally aware of all of its faults, kinda ironic. But you know, if you love the vampire who hates everyone but you and wants to stay away from you but can't type then you're at the right place. I also should say, this book does not include a love triangle.

I loved it! I can definitely see how it was influenced by twilight, but I liked how this series includes other supernatural creatures. And Jaxon is swoon-worthy hot damn. My high school self would have been completely in love with him and he would have ruined me for all other men.
