A Curse of Blood and Bloom by Santana Saunders

2.0

I give this book a 2.7.
The word building was good.
It had potentional but fell short.

The chapters are POV back and fourth between the 2 main characters.
Aero and Evanthe.
Reading it, I thought this was a great idea but than I was wrong. In my opinion, Characters became super unrelatedable or even likeable.
Theyre suppose to be romance between them and I felt no chemistry between Aero and Evanthe.
It felt very rush, no build up to them.

Aero gives off "too fast" and weirdo vibes.
Evanthe character was pretty boring and at times just exhausting.

I read about Vampry, Fae, Ghost and Greek Gods ...but kinda not really.. a bit misleading.. After a while of reading I started to think, wow this is just lots of ideas vomitted together.
At certain points it was just confusing, felt like there wasn't one or two things to focus on, there had to be 5 or 6 "important" task, which some had no backstory or a reason of why it even mattered.
just very confusing and majority of it just didnt make sense.
For me, It started to become "ok" after chapter 27.
The ending was alright i guess, I really pushed myself to finish this book and Overall the execution Felt a bit disappointing. Sadly i wont continue this series.
