My first vampire book, second book by this author. I really enjoyed it. It was very captivating, I was constantly thinking about it when I wasn’t reading. Following the characters through the different time periods was fascinating and just really well written. I’d definitely recommend to anyone who dabbles in fantasy.

This is just 3’s across the board for me. I will say, I didn’t read any other books in the series first. So I was making a lot of inferences about the main characters. But I found the first third of the book overly technical and really boring. A lot of seemingly irrelevant content , like the bits with her mom? Soo much legalese and technically talk that just didn’t seem THAT relevant. When the plot finally hit I was interested but I never felt surprised. I suspected basically everything before it happened. Nothing had me second guessing. Also the topic was too relevant, it gave me hives to read 😅 I love Stacy as a human and was afraid to read her books for this exact reason, she’s too smart and regimented to write a thriller I fear.

There’s clearly two camps here, one loved it while the other hated it. I am in camp hater. It was babbling and slow. I was skipping pages at a time to find the actual story. And when it hit, I hated it. Just not for me. If you’re reading it and considering DNFing, just do it.
