Honestly somewhat unexpectedly I adored this! An easy 5*! It was a bit rocky for me at first, despite my love of vampires, I wasn’t really vibing with it (I’m not sure why!)…but my GOD could I not put it down the further I got! I’m so glad I didn’t stop reading it. The twists and turns just kept on coming and coming. I’m truly in awe that so much could be crammed into 400 pages as well! 

It was truly so fun and thrilling and a great mystery, with a side plot romance that ruined my life…enemies to lovers vibes fr! I loved the characters in this a lot. Fin really was an interesting MC and I enjoyed her a lot! 

I can’t explain properly but this book gave me the same feeling reading ACOTAR for the first time when I was 16 gave me. Just…same vibes truly? Might be the whole seasons and Fin giving the same female MC vibes but I think it just added to my enjoyment? It felt like old 2017 YA and it was refreshing and somehow nostalgic! (Funnily enough I couldn’t get into ACOTAR at first either so wild!) 

My only complaint about it was I wanted a little more show than tell at times!!
