Okie dokie. This book was odd. I didn’t dislike it but at the same time I don’t think it resonated with me. The story was fun and… interesting 😳, but the romance wasn’t romancing for me the way I think it was supposed to.
I KNOW this is a vampire book BUT I’m weird about needles and IVs and stuff and since blood drinking was a big part of the romantic plot I was unfortunately literally heavily and embarrassingly gagging through a lot of their romantic scenes…. I wish this was a joke.
The story itself was quite fun though! I really enjoy Ali Hazelwood’s humour and her incredibly intelligent writing style! It was a good palette cleanser book and a good wee mystery!
FUN OVERALL BUT I GUESS IM NOT AS TEAM EDWARD AS I THOUGHT I WAS! DAMMIT ALL TO HELL!
