Initial Thoughts

I wasn’t expecting to like this book. I couldn’t tell you why but I just felt like it was going to be like any other vampire book. I’m glad it took a different turn.

My New BFF

I think Kanin was my favourite and I was sad that there wasn’t more of him in this book. He’d better be in the next one! He’s the big, bad, and scary vampire that turned our main character. He was just trying to be a good guy though. I liked trying to piece together his back story. You can tell he’s a complex character with a lot of history.

My Crush

I didn’t like the male lead in this book so there’s no crush for me. I just found him naive and kind of annoying. Probably the only reason why this book got 4 stars instead of 5.

Writing Style

I liked that the vampires are scary. I’d be scared too if they ruled our cities. It just makes more sense. I thought the plot was a little weird though. I felt like there wasn’t really a goal because the main character was just walking around and didn’t know what to do. I’m hoping the second book will have more of a plot.

Closing Thoughts

I enjoyed reading this book so it got a higher rating for me. There were a few things that bothered me so it didn’t get 5 stars. I feel like there’s potential with the story but I’m worried that the author is going in a different direction and it’ll end up being typical or boring. It’s one of those things I’ll just have to wait and see though!
