Ok, this is easily one of the most conflicting books I have ever read. I was loving this book thoroughly until the ending. Not only was it rushed, but it did feature a trigger that I personally tend to avoid. Now, I was fully informed and aware before reading, but really wanted to push myself because the book itself sounded unique and honestly right up my alley. However, finishing this book did leave me with some complicated feelings. 

I will say, this is not a book for everyone. The TW’s legitimately have the potential to trigger somebody really badly. So please proceed with caution and don’t take the warnings lightly. The author does do a great job at this btw, I really loved how careful there were about informing readers. 

I did learn after finishing, that this book will be getting a sequel at some point, and I am looking forward to seeing where the story goes. Alina & Silas were remarkable characters! And the spin on vampires was so unique and cool! It was simply, once again, just those last few chapters that affected how I felt about the book overall.
