╰┈➤ The audiobook was so good and captivating!
It was my first audiobook which I was able to listen to whole heartedly. I tried an audiobook once and realized that I kept on listening to the same sentence over and over again, struggling to understand. After that I decided audiobooks weren’t for me. But the narrator in this book did a very good job. I fell in love instantly
╰┈➤ The characters were so unique, especially Layla. I found her very compelling and funny. She was easily one of my favorites.
₰ I wasn’t a fan of Elise. I found her bland and a whiny, privileged brat, although I loved how her trauma was handled perfectly.
₰ I loved Jamie and Mae so much and lived for their small appearances
╰┈➤ As for the relationship between Layla and Elise, it started out so good, but by the end, all the chemistry I felt in the beginning was gone. Especially after I got to know the reason for their hate? The only person I could sympathize with was Layla. She basically trusted her friend, and her friend, whether unconsciously or not, led to the demise of her parents and turned Layla into a vampire. Because of that, Layla harbored hate against her (dare I say rightfully so) and then attacked her. When Layla was spilling her heart out, Elise managed to make it about herself and her petty love confession? I’m sorry, but that didn’t sit right with me at all.
╰┈➤ It got to a time Layla started having chemistry with her fangs than Elise. Dare I say I was going hard for she and Mae than I was with Layla and Elise??
╰┈➤ I liked how it also emphasized race and didn’t completely leave it out. That speech Layla gave about oppression ate. It was handled in a perfect way.
Overall, the book was good, a promising start. I can’t wait to read the next book!!!
I would like to thank NetGalley and the author for providing me with an eArc of this book in exchange for an honest review.
