Ofelia is one of the most unique and original take on Vampires that has been released in a very long time. It's refreshing read as it doesn't follow the same old tired tropes and plot devices. Makes for a very exciting read.

Thanks to NetGalley for access to the eARC!
Yet another clever twist on the vampire theme. Our main character, Ofelia, has been around for centuries but still looks 11 years old. She's a sweet caring little girl old vampire who has spent the last few hundred years killing off all of the other vampires in Europe. So she thinks...
Wonderful ending, by the way :)

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with the opportunity to read this.
The key to immortality is something many would crave. Learning how to achieve this could put someone in a potentially powerful position. But for those who’ve been turned unwillingly, years of hiding and watching anyone you come close to die might not be quite what it seems. So it’s easy to understand Ofelia’s desire to perform an ancient ritual to make her human.
Ofelia looks eleven, but has been alive for centuries. She’s responsible for starting the Great Fire of London as she tried to eradicate vampires. Having hidden for years, when we first meet her she is on her way to Stonehenge to complete the ritual to turn human. Only things don’t go to plan.
We follow Ofelia as she tries to navigate this new world.
Knowledgeable in so many areas, but naive in others, this was an interesting idea. However, I couldn’t help but feel Ofelia was too quick to trust. Would you really be so cavalier with your life?
The focus on Ofelia developing her relationships with her new associates was necessary, but it all felt a little forced. They work out...but you’re never really expecting anything else. Our ‘villain’ is actually quite positive, but his true colours only come out once the pieces are in place to stop him. After centuries setting this up, I can’t imagine he’d not have this better sorted.

A thrilling tale of a young vampire who wishes to be human again. Of Ofelia has lived for centuries with the help of humans along the way. She feels she is close to getting her wish of being human again but does not know that there are forces at play to prevent this. Themes of friendship, self awareness and love are throughout the book.

It is a one sitting read. It would be nice if it was a series but if not, one can reread this tale for ages.

this was a unique take on vampires and I really enjoyed going on this journey. The characters were great and I really enjoyed the writing.
