I’ve absolutely loved the other two Hazelwood novels I’ve read, but this one wasn’t quite as strong for me. I found myself not connecting to the characters as much. Maybe that’s because the main character starts out as an extremely apathetic person. Her lack of strong feelings I found alienating. I thought it was an interesting choice to remove the immortal aspect from our supernatural creatures. I think this is the first mortal vampire I’ve read. I give Hazelwood points for trying something different and stepping outside her box, but I think her box is just so good for me, I don’t need more than that!
