this book was quite different to what i had expected when i picked it but i managed to finish it in 8 hours lol <33

was also very interesting to find that this story is set in australia (my assumption is somewhere in victoria) bc this is probably the last country you would expect vamps to be LOL

i definitely wasn't expecting things to get hot n heavy so quickly between our mcs !! i am definitely NOT complaining though.

an issue i had with this book was a small thing with the writing - a lot of dialogue felt rlly stiff to me, mostly because of instances where "i am" was constantly used rather than "i'm". so obviously not too much of a problem but it did bother me a bit at times :')) that might just be me being picky lmao
personally i also didn't feel too connected to the story/characters but maybe it's because i went in with certain expectations reading this book!

regardless, it was fun to read raya and hunter absolutely pine for each other !! i have been craving a human x vampire story - blood-sucking and all - and this definitely scratched that itch like omggg

now to find more spicy vamp books heheh
