I thoroughly loved the narrative voice! Raven isn't afraid to speak her mind. She's confident but still has insecurities and a past of anger issues weighing her down.

I also enjoyed the humor because again Raven has no filter, and the titles of each chapter are very unserious. The vampires and the slaying had my interest by the throat; but no bloodsucking. We're classy over here. *wags finger*

Our deuteragonist also had my heart. He was an island boy with a lovely name and just as sad a past as Raven. They were good foils to each other and had good chemistry. Spoiler:

it’s a bit of whiplash how Khamari was so dutiful she can’t know about me blah bla, then he was fully pursuing her.

I crave more Black paranormal, so this was like a gift. I'd definitely read more from this author. Give me book two! Also, shoutout to Rose she was fun. I liked the whole cast of characters.

Once y'all pay writers and actors what they deserve, this better be on the list for a Netflix adaptation. And I'm not playing with y'all! I'm talking expeditiously.
