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.
