I needed a light, fluffy, funny story after my last couple of reads, so I got this from Kindle Unlimited...and Ali doesn't disappoint! I love the whole vampire x hunter thing and damn, this was the right amount of cute, funny and sexy and it made me giggle and swoon! I feel like these novellas/short stories are going to save me through the year, because I'm planning a few chunky/dense reads and may need to light the moon in-between them!

This was a though one to finish - not because I wasn't enjoying it, but the pace was just so slow! This felt like one big setup for the next installmente, a way to get our MCs to where they are supposed to be (either geographically or in terms of character development) so the real story can begin. And up to, idk, the last 4 chapters or so, I was really confused as to what the main plot of this series, the end goal, was. Ferro was a very nice addition to the cast, especially because there's not enough women in the book, and DEFINITELY not enough female's POV. And it's when she's first introduced that the story seemed to pick up speed for me. Ardee would be an interesting character to get a POV in the second book, because I love her overall, but other than these two, this is so man-coded! But I liked most of the characters (or at least found them interesting, like Glokta - who made me queasy at times, but whose chapters are very good, or made me laugh for the absurdity of it, like Jezal) and their arcs, and I was intrigued enough to plow through the slow beginning until things actually started to move. I am interested in continue on with the series, but maybe not right away, because this one wrecked my reading pace this month! I definitely need a breather!
