Oraya had the worst plot twist here as a half human half vampire and I hated Raihn's pov... Why does he have to swear every other sentence??

As an artist and a writer, ONE reallly inspires me. His storytelling is great but I love how you can really see that he's improved as a comic artist in this series! It really gives me hope that I'll be able to get the courage to make my own comic one day.

Vale and Lilith are great and all but I would've liked this novella better if the love triangle resolved into polyamory lol. It's a good book though!

I didn't like Raihn as much as Atrius, but I love Oraya. (I read Slaying the Vampire Conqueror before this) I considered giving it 5 stars for that last act alone but I believe 4 is fair for the whole book. I will be tuning in to the sequel.
