I received an eARC of this book by NetGalley
After both her parents were killed by vampires, Rebecca became a vampire hunter to seek revenge. And her biggest mission yet is to infiltrate a vampire university that accepts humans into their program for the first time ever. But things don’t go as planned and Rebecca ends up being tied to a vampire student who just happens to be the most attractive person she has ever seen…
I have conflicting feelings about this book.
I feel like I am not the target audience. Maybe I am not a vampire book girly, maybe I just struggled with the truly forced proximity and emotional abuse for both sides that came with that. It just wasnt for me…
BUT I fully recognize that this book was well written. The plotline was enjoyable, there were twists every now and then that kept things interesting. The love story was form 0 to 100 in what feels like 5 pages (which some people like) and the cast of characters both human and vampire was both interesting and diverse enough to not get them confused.
There will be a book 2 which means that not all storylines are resolved. But I would say resolved enough to be able to move on and not wake up every night until boom 2 finally comes out.
