Belle Morte by Bella Higgin
3.0
Since the age of 14, I have harboured a deep love for vampire romance that may or may not definitely have been triggered by Twilight. So of course, I had to pick up this book.
And I'm pretty happy with this book. I like the concept of vampires holding a tentative celebrity status in the modern world, I was intrigued by the idea of houses of vampires with blood donors, and I was naturally excited by a forbidden vampire-donor romance.
The story is fast paced enough, but the plot and mystery elements feel predictable. This book is rather unoriginal in my opinion - it feels like just another addition to the many vampire romance books out there, albeit a decent addition. The romance itself was very instalove and I thought the characters and relationships on the whole lacked depth.
Despite that, I still enjoyed the premise and it was fun to read. If you absolutely love vampire romance fiction and you don't mind reading the same tropes and devices again in a slightly different setting, this might be a good choice for you.
