A review by bookitallaway
Blood of the Night Flower by Stacy Stover, Stacy Stover
3.0
What I loved:
-vampires
-Sylvia---super sweet MFC
-the magical plant
What I didn't love:
-too fast paced
-not enough time spent developing the characters and storyline
-little to no spice
What I want more of:
-the hollows and how they don't all come into being the same way
-more world building
-Altyr (MMC) needs to get his life together, will he be passive or aggressive...pick a lane
-just more of everything
I know there is a second book planned for release end of August of 2023 so maybe that will give me what I find lacking from this book. I wanted to love this book in its entirety but I found myself disappointed that the spice was lackluster at best and the characters have SO MUCH potential to be all the things, and they just were so disappointingly flat. I will definitely read the second book in hopes that it redeems this one. Vampires are one of my favorite themes to read because of the diversity of their portrayal in the books I've come across. I am still holding out hope that book 2 will make it happen. This book is good if you don't mind a softer vampire/romance open ended book for now.
Spice:2/5
Plot: 3/5
Character Dev: 3/5
Overall: 3/5
