I struggled to really get into the characters, I didn’t feel like their motivations made sense to me. It’s a good book for the right person but that wasn’t me. 

I loved this book! This is another lovely ARC read and I have ordered a physical copy of this too. If you love H.D. Carlton this author is for you. I’ve been on the hunt for for something that was going to make me feel the same as the Cat and Mouse Duet and guys!! This is it! It’s got a hot stalker, it’s got heavy kink, it’s got believable relationships, it’s got dimension. I have been lucky to have some really amazing books in my March reads, and this is currently tied for top.

The story is very interesting. It’s rare to find a vampire fantasy that feels totally new so it was super refreshing to read. The first half of this book is in single first person point of view and told through a combination of flashbacks and current timeline, which can be a bit confusing if you aren’t aware so… be aware. ˙ᵕ˙ The second half of the book is in dual point of view which shocked me when it happened, but I do love a dual POV moment, and I connected a lot deeper to the characters in this section. The characters are dimensional and deeply thought out, which makes a story like this so compelling overall I enjoyed it. Rating 3.25 stars because of the timeline confusion in the beginning, I struggled to get into the story for a good 40% because I kept having to re read sections, and rapid time changes pulled me out of the story. I personally prefer if jumps in the timeline are separated chapters because it feels less jarring, but that is all personal preference. I did receive this as a free advanced copy, but after reading I can confidently say I would not have been upset to pay for it.
