3.0

I can’t quite pinpoint what it was about these two characters I didn’t like but I wasn’t a huge fan of either. It felt like some of the dialogue and the early connection made between them was forced and didn’t make a lot of sense. So, it was hard to connect with the story early on and I don’t think I was as invested as I needed to be because of that. 

A story with vampires has to be well done for me to enjoy it and even though this wasn’t without some plot holes, the overarching storyline wasn’t bad. I think at the end of the day this particular book body wasn’t for me.
