Easily a 5 star book. Hayley Dennings has such a great writing style that immediately grabbed my attention and held it the entire time! Apologies in advance for my messy thoughts because I cannot articulate how great this book was to me.
Black sapphics, feminine rage, masquerade ball, and set in 1926 Harlem…what more could you ask for?
This book perfectly captures childhood best friends-to-enemies-to-lovers-to-???? and does it EXTREMELY WELL!!! The yearning, the angry love confession, and reluctance to work together!!!! Elise and Layla are both written excellently and have their own backgrounds that are fleshed out. The side characters offered so much enjoyment while being important to the story, especially Jaime and his son!! Loved whenever they showed up!
The plot was so interesting and I did not want to put this book down. This take on reapers/vampires might just be my favorite. The hopes of a cure for the reapers hurt so much, especially with Layla’s wanting to be human again. I just wanted to hug her every time. The ending??? I need more and I can’t wait to see what Hayley Dennings does with the next book!
Overall, I fell in love with this book and its beautiful writing. Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for the arc! All thoughts and opinions are my own.
