    This was a really good ending to the trilogy with some beautiful character arcs that made me smile 🫶🏻

    The start was a bit rocky, the story didn’t grab me as much as the first book but once the action starts, that’s where the excitement comes in!

    The action in the second half more than makes up for the steady paced first half, where character arcs are developed and revelations are made that have me excited for book 3!

    A refreshing take on the vampire genre told in a beautiful gothic style, with a taste that lingers long after the book is closed

    I’m honestly so hooked on this story! I love the time hops, it’s pure gothic vamp goodness 😏

  • What makes you DNF a book?

    I used to have the mentality to always finish a book I start. Now that I am older, I cannot waste time reading a book I am not enjoying and I hate when I am disappointed by a book that I was super pumped to read. So I'm curious, what makes you put the book down for good? For me to DNF: no beginning action, too flowery sentences that I have to re read to understand what the author meant and no character development.

    This book just wasn’t for me, I got a little bored and I wasn’t a fan of the writing 😬

    Finished!

    Where do I go from here?! How do I keep going not reading about Corban and his family?! They have a special place in my heart now ❤️ does anyone else get that sad feeling after they finish a book series?
