It’s basically a crime that it took me this long to read this book but I’m so happy I did (plus now I can finally watch the movie). I listened to this on audio and I feel like that was such a good way to read this. One of the things I loved most about this one was just how atmospheric it was. The way New Orleans and Paris were described was so beautiful and the overall vibe of the book was just so moody and gothic, which instantly made me love it. I will say, there were parts of this story where it dragged. The first third of the book was easily a 5⭐️ book to be but some sections in the last two thirds I found a little bit dull so that’s why I ended on a 4.25⭐️   I really liked all of the characters, they all felt so unique in a subgenre where all the vampires can feel like the same person in some other books. I loved that we got to see such struggle with Louis and his internal war about being a vampire, but I can see how some people could be put off by him. I can’t wait to continue the series and watch the movie!
