A story that becomes more hauntingly beautiful if you’ve been to the dark place. While it does kind of have a rushed ending, and can seem a bit shiny after so much grit,, isn’t that life? Luck goes both ways , and can run up or out all at once. Definitely recommend.

I could FEEL pips exhaustion throughout this whole book only not a 5 because of the slightly rushed ending , which I didn’t feel was an issue at all in the first two. GREAT READ!

I love The authors writing style! Even if the plot is slow, she still keeps you engaged. I personally was expecting more action and well , more vampires lol lending to the below 4 ⭐️ rating. I am excited to keep reading what this talented author feels inspired to pen and publish!

While this book was magical, inspiring , intense and unique, it didn’t have quite the rooted feeling the first book had. I am, however , eagerly awaiting the third book!! What a fascinating, beautiful and eye opening trilogy!

Very entertaining read. Author doesn’t waste time getting you primed and ready! The only reason this was rated under 4 ⭐️ was the back and forth. If there would have been even one less time of getting you to believe something different, even though what you first thought is actually true, it would’ve been 4 or 4.25 stars.
