I'm so glad I finally got around to reading this! I usually don't like vampires, but I really enjoyed this. I liked the sapphic parts, as well as the vampire part.

I finally read this haha. I thought it was very cute and quick to read, but there were a lot of elements or tropes that I usually try to avoid in queer media. I hope those things will lessen as I continue the series, so I'm not too mad about it. I also just prefer adult romance, and usually I prefer an edgier or gritter atmosphere to my books, romance or not.

I liked most of the new characters, and the writing was super easy to follow, but there was a lot of talk about

breeding,

and that was weird.

I went into this blind, and I had no idea it was all fantasy. I liked some of the stories, but most of them just didn't hit for me.

I just wasn't invested. Romance novels are very hit or miss for me, and this just happened to be a miss.

5.0

I usually don't date non fiction/poetry, but I really loved this. I think I just related to some aspects of it, and a lot of lines really jumped out at me.
