A review by olivegrove
Belle Morte by Bella Higgin

4.0

Ok I’m gonna be honest, at first I was skeptical of reading this book because the most recent YA vampire novels have severely disappointed me. I was afraid this book was going to be another TVD/Originals/Twilight knock off that just serves a younger audience. I was so wrong. This novel puts a new spin on the classic vampire romance so many of us fell in love with years ago. The romance is fantastic, the characters and friendships are great. and even if the mystery part of the plot was a bit predictable, this book was just so fun. Maybe it’s not high end literature but who cares? Sometimes you just need a tropey vampire novel with an author who puts a new spin on it. Bella Higgin is the first author I’ve seen do this and do this well in a long time. I’ve read all the new vampire novels and this is the first that’s refreshing and fun and not just some gimmicky knock-off. I really can’t wait for the next book. It’s going to be a really difficult wait since I just sat down in read the arc and it won’t be out until April. For anyone considering adding this to your 2022 tbr, do it! You will not regret it.
