Inception by Bianca Scardoni

5.0

Oh man I thought this was a complete series but it is not there's atleast one more book because book 3 (iniquitous) just ended on the mother of all cliff hangers that stole my heart right out from my chest. I generally make it a rule not to read unfinished series for this very reason! But I thought this was a trilogy! I can't say I'm mad though because I am desperately waiting for the next book, which as of yet doesn't even have a release date! The horror! So while I do suggest you wait till the series is complete, you really should read these books. I loved them, the pacing was great, the protagonist and side characters were great. I do wish some of the side characters had a little more scenes because they were great but you didn't see a lot of them. Jemma our vampire slaying modern Buffy is a badass and very believable in her reactions to how her world has just been turned on its head. Though I wasn't a fan of her backstory in book one (she spent a few months in hospital even though it turns out she didn't need to be there) and it was just almost never mentioned and had almost no effect on her as a character. Also I hate love triangles, I can't stand them and they need to die. BUT that said, I actually didn't mind this one. -Shock horror- it was believable, she wasn't just torn between two hot guys who were both obsessed with her and crying about how she couldn't choose, she was put into situations were she had no choice but to bond with them both and did what she could with that while not being a two timing hoe. Which was nice, I loved the world and the edge of your seat moments. There were parts that had me crying (keep in mind I cry about puppies that haven't been adopted yet on an almost daily basis, so I'm not sure how much that counts for) overall it was a really great series and I really liked it and can't wait for the next book.
Who I recommend this book to: Anyone who loves a love triangle, and even those who don't. Anyone looking for a quick fulfilling read in a fun supernatural setting. Vampire lovers, and readers who enjoy a good relatable protagonist!

I give it 5/5 roses 🌹 while there were some issues I didn't really feel like it took away from the story and I still loved reading it so I couldn't bring myself to give it anything less
