DNF at 44% on 5/22/2020.

I just couldn't get into this one. The premise seemed interesting, but I felt absolutely nothing about any of the characters even though I wanted to.

A biiig world

It's a big world, lots of names, phrases and skills to keep up with.

I am not entirely sure what I think about this series. Some parts I feel are a bit confusing, I felt I didn't get enough answers until the end.

I am still not entirely sure what is going on in relation to vampires, pure ones, humans, assassins and so forth. They all seem to be connected, and for most of the book until the end really I had no idea how a Pure One soldier was actually made.
We do find out, but I do wish it was at least hinting towards it earlier.

I was recommended this series because I'm a big fan of J. R Ward, but I have to say that I don't really find that many similarities. I found the worlds to be vastly different.

That's not to say I don't like this world Aja James has created, it's just very very different from what I have ever read.

I'm going to continue through since I feel that this first book was a huge introduction and there is lots more to learn and stories to tell.

The writing is very good though. I found it easy flowing, just enough filler. The sex is hawt, it's got heartwrenching-pulling your insides out- feels, but it's also got love. So much love, and not just between the main couple.

I received a free copy from the author for review.

This book started out really well, there are vampires, pure ones, humans, a very young pure Queen, a protector and a healer who uses some kind of magic, and has a very special way of sustaining herself.

I received a copy of this book from the author in order to provide a honest review. I must i have had no regrets in reading this book. This is a beautiful depiction of the healing power of love. Character development was good. I hope there will be follow up novels for these characters. My favourite character is the hero Valerius. Here was a man who had been through so much pain, hurt and disillusionment that he thought himself unworthy of true love, he however was able to eventually rise above his past and claim his destiny. This just goes to show that love can conquer all.
