This was…not good. Fantastic idea for a book, the audiobook voice was amazing, and I did enjoy the ending. But the rest of it was just listening to a super depressing story of controlling and abusive relationships. Not to mention not enough story developments to justify the love each character had for the main vampire, or why they stayed with him for so long. Like Constanza immediately wanting to sleep with him and fall in love with him???? Not explained at ALL. I wanted an easy spooky book to read this October, but this was not it :/
