I was not expecting this book to be as good as it was. In the past I’d written the author off as overhyped, but I’m glad I went ahead and gave this book a chance because boy was it worth it! I really loved the plot, the characters and just the overall tone of the story. The FMC didn’t fall into the overwritten, whiny, “I’m plain but somehow drop dead gorgeous” variety that I loathe, and the MMC wasn’t broody and monosyllabic. It’s hands down one of the better vampire or werewolf books I’ve read in years. My only gripe with it is that for a “duet”, the male narration is very underutilized and kept to the epitaphs and epilogue which is annoying! If you’re looking for a good supernatural read with an actual plot, and spice that adds to the story instead of detracts, then I highly recommend adding this one to your TBR!
