A solid book, very British. I enjoyed it, but it was not really anything new. Great author, I love Eve Chase.

Not my age group nor my genre, but I read it because of the author. I like her writing style, and I liked the main character.

This was one of the best vampire books I have read. Vampires have always been a big interest of mine, and this book was unbeatable.

Oh my gosh. This book was tense, thrilling and captivating. The murder mystery with the chase, realising no one believes him and the entire plot was just amazing. This was one of my favourite October reads, and I wish I could read this for the first time again. I went on numerous walks just so I could keep listening to this book, it was that good.

An interesting read, but not really my genre. Still, this romantic light-hearted witchy book was good enough for me.
