Thank you to Del Ray and NetGalley for an advanced digital copy for review! 

I’m kinda mixed about this one. On one hand, the vampire lore and world building was so unique and fun, and I’m really excited there’ll be a book 2 to dive deeper into the unanswered mysteries. 

But also, I found this kinda dry? I liked the characters, and the pacing was fine, but I feel like it was easy to see a lot of twists coming. I also thought Aliz and Rebecca’s romance happened out of nowhere? I did like it by the end though and again I can’t wait to read more about them. 

A solid read. Perfect for fans of THE COVEN or THE VAMPIRE ACADEMY series.
