Dear author, I love you. I just finished this and I have NO idea what to do with my life now except patiently wait for books 3 and 4…like the first one this was EVERYTHING!! 

I got some scenes I was really
hoping for and a lot of things happened that I didn’t expect but I LOVED! The whole college setting again gave me like TVD vibes and it was just SO FUCKING GOOD! Like I  also just love the slow burn romance (it’s exactly my kinda pace so I’m living for it) and the vampire lore is just really fun and unique! 

God idk what I’m gonna do if I have to wait agesssss to get back to this series! I just love how it gets darker and darker and it really amps up especially towards the end of this one. I have really high hopes for book 3, I’m gonna freak out. I miss my disaster boys already…this book broke my heart…I dragged this out as long as I could bc I wasn’t ready for it to end! 

Honestly what an enchanting and beautiful debut! Seriously never read anything like this before! The cult, the creepy small town, the religious aspects, the mysterious forest?? It all made for such a good horror themed romance. It was weird and sad and it dealt with grief in such a good way.  Loved it, will be reading whatever this author writes!! 

Gonna give this a middle 3/5. I didn’t hate it but it wasn’t at all what I was expecting. It kinda turned out to be a historical romance which was completely unexpected as I thought I was getting into a strange gothic horror? Not to say it was BAD but it just wasn’t what I wanted and the pacing was a little weird. For a book with vampires in the title there was a severe lack of them, the book is seriously just the MC’s pining for eachother! Anyway 3/5, read it if you like romance!! 

All I can say right now after finishing the last line of this book is what the fuck...WHAT THE FUCK!

Listen I enjoyed the first book a lot, I gave it an easy 4 but this get a 5 for Hudson alone...morally grey sarky bad boy? Jaw on the floor

The writing and just general vibes in this series so far is so old teen paranormal and icl I'm living for it. Its what I loved about those growing up but without all the problematic 00's stuff like house of nigh and other older seires like that. Truly truly living for the nostalgia, this series is my new guilty pleasure for sure!

Anyway after the RIDE the last 100 pages of that book took me on im going to dieeeeee...my god

Sidenote: those bonus Hudson POV chapters gave me pure emotional damage 

This was seriously one of the best books I’ve read in AGES, one of the best LGBT+ horror I’ve read for sure. I’m OBSESSED. I will be recommending this to literally everyone. 

I genuinely love a good biblical demons and religious conflict plot line too so this was ICONIC! I always just find it so fascinating how people use religion to justify a myriad of things and when their own system comes back to bite them in the ass? Gorgeous, show stopping, incredible. 

This was seriously just amazing, great horror, great gore, really vivid descriptions it was just ugh 5* easy.

No words, literally no words, this was a LOT (for lack of a better way to put it). This was strange in a way I loved, it was weird and slightly cryptic and read like almost poetry. It was crushing in a way that left me feeling empty, ah my Romeo and Juliet…

Despite me guessing quite a few twist plot points (which tbf I think adds to the writing as it’s like solving a mystery with little clues!!) i LOVED this sequel so much! I can’t wait for a third book. I had SO much fun with this, learning about new forest creatures, the Diana magic system, it was so cool. Can’t wait to visit hemlock falls again and see what Winnie gets up to next. PLUS that end chapter ahhhhhh no way! 

Holy SHIT! Now THIS was my perfect book, weird otherworldly girls, missing children, being stalked by some weird supernatural creature, unexplained magic?? It was SO good! Truly so good. The writing was enchanting, the plot was so fucking weird in the best way and the pacing was honestly perfect! I loved how weird and gory and truly decaying this book felt. Absolutely going to pick up more from this author if she writes anymore  in this genre! 

This wasn’t anything crazy but it was fun. I’m giving it 3* because I enjoyed myself as I do love a good “heist” story for lack of a better way of putting it but I wanted some more action! More drama! Idk it just felt like something was missing but I can’t put my finger on what??

Second year I’ve read Dracula daily! The community interaction and takes and theories really just up the original story to another level!! I will be reading literally every year if I can, truly such a good format for the novel.
