This Ravenous Fate by Hayley Dennings
Did not finish book. Stopped at 54%.
I have been hyped for this book since Hayley went on sub so you can imagine how devastated I am with the fact that I DNFed this book.
I'm sad to say that I was overwhelming bored from the very first chapter (not the prologue, the prologue hooked me then the first chapter released me back to the ocean). Also, this book was pitched to me as a Sapphic Vampire×Vampire Hunter and I don't know how many times I have to say this but I hate when pitches/synopsis LIE to me. Elise is not a Vampire Hunter. She is the heir to a Vampire Hunting company but she has never hunted a day in her life. Also Friends to Enemies to Lovers? I had no reason to believe that Elise and Layla should fall in love. They lacked chemistry and most of their arguements felt like they happened for no reason but to show they hate each other and then BOOM they're fighting some sexual tension before starting another argument? Yeah I didn't believe it for one second.
Also the mystery-solving was another let down. Elise and Laura's mystery solving strategy was so boring and it got absolutely no where so I felt no reason to continue reading this book.
The only thing I could say I think was done properly was the privilege Vs race conversations that happened in this book and even then, that felt a bit lecture like at times.
I really wish I enjoyed this book.
