***This serial ends on a cliffhanger after the 4th installment and the next release date is the summer of 2021.***
Review of serial parts 1-4:
The world created by these two authors is fantastic. It’s a very unique take on a dystopian society with vampires as the ruling class, and everyone else huddling at the bottom of a muddled social structure. Although other supernatural characters are mentioned, we don’t get a clear picture of hierarchy. There are some holes in the world building, but even with the questions that brings, the story arc is solid. The conflict and denouement are a bit simplistic, and the pacing was a bit rushed. Also, I’m not wholly surprised by the ‘twist’ at the end, but I’m hooked. I’m invested in the characters and their story.
The MC is strong, even through her many trials and hardships. She is smart, tough, and vicious when necessary, but remains unique within the vampire world because of her relations with the humans around her. She grows into herself throughout the series, and I found her both relatable and likable.
Without giving too much detail, the chemistry between the MC and male interest is alternatively sweet, and heated... I guess you can say, it depends. *smirk*
I’m frustrated with the long a$$ wait before the next release, and the freaking book hangover I’m left with, but I’m definitely looking forward to continuing the story. Next year. *sigh*
