5/5 stars

The fact it’s 12:34 and I am wide awake because of this book. Immediately catching my attention with it being a vampiric hunger games I knew this would intrigue me but I’m still surprised by how much I flew through this book.

I’ve been reading more fantasy then I have in a while and specific to it being more along the romance side. With that being said this truly stood out to me.

The world itself has many layers ones that I did have to check myself in on at times with the very helpful glossary in the back but once I reached a certain percentage the picture became so much clearer. Still the glossary was very needed and extremely helpful. The world created is wide and spans in directions I’m curious to where we go with it as the series continues.

The characters UGH. From our main to secondary to ones we will potentially explore more in the books to come it was so refreshing how vivid they came off the page. The way I cried for the first time in I couldn’t tell you how long based on certain moments, dialogue, and relationships in this book. That’s when you know you got me. When my little cry baby heart comes out for these fictional characters that make me feel they are anything but fictional.

The romance was just UGH. I loved the pacing and the connection as a whole. It was just so good to read and by the time we got to the ending had me immediately get the second book.

Speaking of the ending. What the actual fuck??? The way I was jumping around in my bed, to crying, to silent screaming, to being shocked as hell. That’s a way to conclude a book that already had me on the edge of my feet.

I have no other words to say besides definitely a memorable read, definitely a favorite of this year, and I am currently starting the next one even though I have work tomorrow.

Wish me luck
