Holly never misses. She could write a one page story on a napkin and I would buy it and cherish it.

This is a vampire story, but one of the most interesting ones I have read in a while. The story follows Tana who wakes up after a party to silence, which is strange for a morning after a party with a house full of people. As she walks through the house, she realizes it was a vampire attack and she must escape with two other people from the party. Her escape leads her to the closest โ€œColdtownโ€, a quarantined zone for vampires. She is surrounded by secrets and danger and faces one of the most difficult decisions of her life as she learns what it really means to be human and to be a monster.

I LOVE Tanaโ€™s character, she is brave no matter the situation. But sheโ€™s also not stupid, she knows her limits. She may be young, but is street smart. Her growth was immaculate. 

Tana and Gavriel?

*swoons*, he may be crazy, but arenโ€™t we all in some form? He is the perfect guy for her as he lets her just be. Their romance is only a very minor subplot but I shipped them from the gate idc. ๐Ÿ˜‚

All of the side characters were also amazing and full of depth and added something extra to the story. The pacing is perfect, filled with suspense, a slow burn romance, and adventure. I was not bored at all. 

So yeah, if you love Hollyโ€™s writing, a fresh take on vampires, a slow burn sub plot romance, adventure, check this one out. K bye. ๐Ÿ˜˜ 

If they write it, I will read it, I will eat that shit up. ๐Ÿ˜

It did take me a minute to get through this book but itโ€™s 800 pages bro so chill. The book was amazing, my attention span is shit. lol

Echo Fort picks right up where we left off after Never Keep. We have Vesper seeking vengeance, Everest navigating a new power and uncovering dangerous secrets, Kaiser being daddy, Harlon being insufferable, and a few new character povs. 

Everest & Vesper, girl power, LFG! I have been craving a bond like what Tory and Darcy have in Zodiac Academy and I feel like Ev & Ves could definitely have that and I am hoping for it. 

Everest and Kaiser? Ship. I want them together so badly, idgaf that he made her his possession and controls her. Smash. Period.

Everest annoys me a bit, but she is still discovering herself and wanted nothing more than to become legendary and make her father proud. So I get her motives, they still annoy me though lol. But her at the end of the book? Get it girl!

Vesper is a badass and I am obsessed with her, but she also annoys me lol. But again, she has her reasons and I get it. 

All of these characters have so much depth and emotion, but when you read a Twisted Sisters book, expect nothing less. The plot was perfection, I just know the reapers are shady asf, I didnโ€™t trust them in book 1 either, but damn. Shit is getting crazy and I cannot wait until Cinder Vale comes out next year! 

Start this series if you loved Zodiac Academy by them or if you are just in the mood for an in depth dark fantasy romance with amazing characters that you will obsess over and a story that will keep you turning the pages for hours without wanting to stop. K bye. โค๏ธ

This volume had so much action, I was unable to put it down for even a second. And that cliffhanger? Omg. And Ashaf is so hot, idc. ๐Ÿ˜‚โค๏ธ

All the stars in the sky, and there is still not enough to rate this one. โ™พ๏ธโญ๏ธ But, how could it be any less when the Queen of Magic herself wrote this? โœจ

This story mostly follows Hazel, a fierce and brave girl who is average at first glance, but living in between a world of faeries and humans. When the boy whom her brother and herself loved, who slept in the glass coffin in the middle of the woods, somehow gets free Hazel and Benโ€™s lives take an adventurous and dangerous turn. 

I loved every second of this. It gave me all of the magical vibes I have been chasing. The setting is perfect, filled with beauty and peril. The characters were interesting and full of depth. The plot was intriguing and kept me wanting to know more and made it hard to walk away to live life. lol. 

Overall if you love Hollyโ€™s writing and have been looking for more folk of the air vibes, read this immediately! It is giving. ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ„

Ummm, wtaf?
So colonizer falls in love with a slave? Okay, what? And idgaf if he hates his regime, blah blah blah. Heโ€™s still colonizing, he is still apart of the problem so like wtf? 

But besides that, half skin? Dragon mates? โ€œOur treasureโ€? Stfu. I canโ€™t believe I even pushed through this one fr. 

So, this one is obviously not for me, no hate to anybody who did enjoy it though. I can see the appeal if you ignore the politics of it and just focus on the romance. So this may be for you? Idk, but I can personally never recommend this book. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Already watched the anime, loved it. But everybody kept telling me the manga is so much better, so here I am, starting yet another series lol. But so far, I love it. Canโ€™t wait to start the next volume โค๏ธ

This book is so adorable. Is it cliche? Angsty? A tad bit immature at times? Yes, but she is a teenager people! Tf? Of course she is angsty and immature and even whiny at times. If you werenโ€™t as a teen, I donโ€™t trust you. 

I do hate her nickname though lol, but I understand how it came to be and why it now just works. 

I loved all of the characters. Except Nicole, go away. And Taylor irked me a few times and wasnโ€™t acting like a best friend. But this is only book 1, so I will reserve my judgment on Taylor (for now ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ). 

What team am I on? Bro, idek. I love Conrad because of the way he makes her feel. But I love Jeremiah because he seems better for her. So I am currently in the middle, donโ€™t make me choose. ๐Ÿ˜…

I will definitely be continuing this series and checking out the TV series immediately. 

Read this if you love cutesy stories with angst and a love triangle thatโ€™s a tad bit confusing, but works. ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ˜‚ k bye. 

Happy that the plot finally started making sense again. And mostly everything was wrapped up nicely. Would I read this series again? No, not at all. But the art is gorgeous and I did enjoy it for the most part. The first few volumes were amazing. But after that it kept getting off track and we kept getting new characters introduced who did nothing for the plot or the story, they were just there. And there were a few plot holes that never got answered either. But I donโ€™t care enough to think about it. lol. 

I would definitely still recommend this story to somebody who is looking for a vampire manga series with a heavy plot and a lot of characters doing random shit throughout. Have fun guys. K bye. 

Overall series rating: โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ
