The Scarlet Veil @shelbymahurin 

I loved this book! It's the perfect companion to Serpent and Dove. I liked that you don't necessarily need to read the Serpent and Dove Trilogy but why wouldn't you?! 

Celie went from side character to great female lead! Her journey was a roller coaster of emotions but so good. She is not the same girl from Serpent and Dove. 

I loved thr lore of the vampires, ghosts and everything about Requiem.

The side characters are a huge selling point. Dimitri's story broke my heart especially. 

Michal oh Michal. I love this arrogant, dark and mysterious vampire. He manages to push Celie and help her heal and come onto herself. 

The pace was a little off in the beginning and it take me awhile to get completely invested but it definitely makes up for it by the end. That cliffhanger though! So not cool!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.75
