Eternal Syn by Mia Monroe
4.0

Book safety, content warnings, and tropes & tags down below.

It’s been twelve years of struggling, of barely making it, and I’m fucking tired.

My first book by Mia Monroe, and I would gladly read more. I really really enjoyed the writing, and the story is really freaking entertaining. It was also sweet, a little sad, and hot as hell. There’s vampires, assassins, a tragic backstory, fated mates, and heat. What more could a lady want, really?

I have a lengthy TBR (where books go to die), as well as several ARCs I should be reading. However, I am also a mood reader, so when I came across the blurb for this one, I immediately ditched all of my reading plans, lol. No regrets, though. I really enjoyed this! Also, Bowie is the best MC name, possibly ever. A beautiful man named Bowie with shoulder length wavy brown hair, who also has a bit of an anger issue? Sign me right up.

Bowie burrows his face into my chest like a wounded child in need of comfort, […]

I might actually go crazy and read more from the series. Probably out of order, lol. I wanna see everyone (especially Yves) find their mates.

Yves does not love me, not romantically. I know this. We have chemistry, yes, and when his loneliness is at its peak, he confuses passion for emotions.
