Vampires and SciFi? Hell yes!
At first I didn't really expect this combination to work. Vampires feel like such a fantast element and mixing it with SciFi is something I'd never seen before. But putting it together was so much fun! I had a great time with both elements in this book.
Laurel and Juniper are such lovely main characters in this book. Both of them are incredibly tied to each other and that friendship was amazing to see. Their friendship isn't perfect however and they have struggles between them at certain points too. This made their friendship feel really human and it was nice to see this play out in the book. It reminds me of how lovely friendships can be wnd really makes me want to cherish my own friendships even more.
This book takes us to a lot of places, with danger in every corner. It was a lot of fun and adrenaline throughout the book when there would be intense fighting scenes or the main characters had to flee something. Fleeing is a big theme of the book with Laurel and Juniper trying to make life for themselves running away. They always seem to be chased by law enforcement or another entity wanting to stop them. This keeps the urgency to keep reading high, always wanting to know if they're going to be safe. Which was also just a lot of fun to keep going.
Lastly I want to say that this book has found family in a way I haven't seenuch before. A lot of found family in books the found family is around the same age as the main characters. And that's lovely and I enjoyed a lot of books with that. However this time having a parent figure show up that's actually a lot older was so sweet and enjoyable too. I felt like this added a lot to the book and made it even more memorable for me.
Concluding I absolutely loved this book and it made me even more sure to want to keep reading books from this author.
I received an eARC and this was my honest review.
