Listen, I know the haters compare this book to a Wattpad story… But that’s the thing about reading, it’s supposed to be fun and we’re supposed to enjoy going off into another world! Not everything we read needs to be scholarly or high fantasy world-building; it just needs to be enjoyable! Of course, it is not the big epic fantasy that some people may want, but it did its job well in my opinion. I read this book in a day, so that’s how you know it hit the spot for me. If you’re looking for a short, laidback romantasy with a healthy amount of spice, this book is for you!!

Okie dokie. This book was odd. I didn’t dislike it but at the same time I don’t think it resonated with me. The story was fun and… interesting 😳, but the romance wasn’t romancing for me the way I think it was supposed to. 

I KNOW this is a vampire book BUT I’m weird about needles and IVs and stuff and since blood drinking was a big part of the romantic plot I was unfortunately literally heavily and embarrassingly gagging through a lot of their romantic scenes…. I wish this was a joke. 

The story itself was quite fun though! I really enjoy Ali Hazelwood’s humour and her incredibly intelligent writing style! It was a good palette cleanser book and a good wee mystery! 

FUN OVERALL BUT I GUESS IM NOT AS TEAM EDWARD AS I THOUGHT I WAS! DAMMIT ALL TO HELL!

Good story, always love a strong heroine. The sexy time scene wasn’t super awkward, but I never really comfortable with all that anyhow.
