The pacing of this book made this read a little difficult for me. It was fast, then slow, then fast, then slow, then even slower, then too fast. I was lost and having a hard time focusing or keeping up throughout.

I also felt like the plot was very repetitive and could’ve been cut by about 100 pages to make the story feel more consistently sped up.

Finally, I had a hard time relating to the main character. She felt very flat and stereotypical to me, making me yearn for a different character to appear in the plot to take over.

Thank you to Kay Marrie, Kailey Reidel, and NetGalley for an ARC of this book. All opinions are honest.

This was my first read by this author and also my first vampire based romantasy. From the beginning I was hooked, there was good pacing, suspense and the classic tension that goes with the enemies to lovers story. World building was good, at no point did I feel lost and there was plenty of action to keep me interested. Great cliffhanger ending and can’t wait to read the next in the series!

A GOOD 3.5 this was such a good, fun, quick book!! I loved the vampire/magical elements and it was all around just such a good time! Cannot wait for the next one now! What a cliffhanger !!
Thank you so much net galley for this arc!
