A Shade of Blood by Bella Forrest
4.0
First off, I was pleased that this book was double the length as the first one. Seems like the rest of the series will be. It's good because it allows each book to actually grow to its potential.
The romantic in me didn't like how long it took for Sofia to go back to Derek. But the realist part of me did. I like that she left the vamp world behind and tried to move on with her original crush. It screams human life, which was great. Allowed a deep comparison of Derek and Ben for the reader so we can see which way her heart is going to and why. But once she finally realized Ben was not it for her, she went back to the vamp life and back to Derek and this is where I was SO happy. The book was a little slow up till this point.
The one thing that really bugged me the whole way through was how they both kept second-guessing their feelings for each other. LIKE YOU BOTH LOVE EACH OTHER. JUST ACCEPT IT.
Hopefully that will be completely fixed in book three.
Overall still hooked on this series
