    What I liked: Like Beauty and the Beast but more extreme. You have to get used to the idea that Fae are not little fairies (my first fantasy read). Sometimes frustrating chemistry between Tamlin and Feyre. I am always a sucker for a slow burn.

    What I did not like: There are many secrets in the book and it is difficult to understand the context. Tamlin and Feyre have a frustrating relationship at times.

    Nash is a little baby

    I really am not a big fan of Nash. To me he acts like a little kid with no control. I don't get why he takes it so personally, that Lina is looking for a car? It has zero to do with is shooting???

    Good part: Insight into the cultural conditions for women and black people in the US in the 1960s. What they are allowed to do and how they navigate the male-dominated world.

    Bad part: It's not a page-turner exciting book.

    I read this book to get a good scare. It was the first horror book I have read. It did not seem too scary at all, had no issues reading it. However it is very well written and easy to follow along in the story.
