I was in the mood for vampires today. I hope this doesn’t let me down.

Slightly annoying I hate the sleeping in coffins thing. (This doesn’t happen for the entire book).

There is an instant pull between Luce and Salvatore they both feel it even through a photograph. The chemistry between them on the first meeting is 🔥🔥🔥 

I love how Luce and Embry clicked instantly.

Both girls are turned after an attack they would have died in. 

Luciana seems to have a knack for being a vampire. Even though she has an aversion to drinking blood. 

The storyline is fairly good but the characters seem a little flat. There is no real backstory for either of them. A big deal was made of her police partner but then he has barely been mentioned. 

This is a slow burn book and the first ‘action’ isn’t until 83% but it’s good once it gets started. 

Things have taken a bizarre turn at around 89% I’m not sure what to make of it yet. It seems unlikely though that all this stuff is in that book and neither of them knew about it. 

I’m still not sure what to make of it, it wasn’t explained the book just ended. This could have been so much longer and more in depth and it would have been brilliant but it just felt lacking to me. I wanted to know more about the vampires society and how it works. How did Salvatore become the overmaster and what does that even mean? Does Luciana have any family? What drives her as a cop? What even happened to her job and who betrayed her? So many questions left unanswered. 

Also mentioning the dungeon repeatedly and then only having that one piddly little scene in there. It’s rude to threaten me with a good time and not deliver. 

Overall a little bit unsatisfying.
