oh i loved this so much, this book is like eating sweet strawberries with rays of sun shining throughout leaves of a tree you're laying under

How can a 400+ page book consists mostly of dialogues? It was a struggle to finish, the plot was almost nonexistent to the point that you could skip the eternity of part 1 and you wouldn't miss much. They just talked and talked and talked and nothing came from it. There was no character growth, no depth in them. My biggest problem was the vampires themselves!! You're telling me Poppy accepted being changed with no questions asked and her only concern was dealing with loss of human food? There's no struggle, all the vampires are so good with self control around humans?? Just like that? When you advertise something as a wlw romanse then give me the romance!! There was no chemistry between Poppy and Roisin. I hate writing this review but this book was one big misunderstanding. We need beautifully written sapphic fantasy books.

this is definitely book that you read for the vibes... I know the conversation around publishing being business and growing demand for faster releases is ongoing, also people make mistakes. That being said I can't understand how book of this caliber can be published with so many mistakes. I know some people don't care about them, but we're talking about quality, adding quotation marks where they belong isn't that big of an ask. Now for the story, we dive right back into the story and I don't know how to explain that there's nothing happening at first but the whole book moves at the great pace. There's so many questions rising throughout the story, so many of them are being left unanswered. The character development of Searis is incredibly fast, if feels like she became someone else entirely without processing anything that's going on. I wish this whole transformation had more depth. Kingfisher became a foxdad. Carrion!! is carrying this book on his shoulders, he's quick, funny, true in his anxiety but at the same time quite complex. The smut? So good!! But it kinda felt the story got lost because of it, what do you mean your best friend is missing and you're doing that to your mate?

so predictable i knew the ending the moment he opened his mouth for the first time, but once again with rachel i loved the idea for the magic.
