Is this book unrealistic and absolutely bonkers? Oh a 100%. Did I still enjoy it? Yes. 

I would recommend the audiobook version.

I generally really liked this book. Enjoyed the writing style, easy to read and nice characters.

the only real downside for me was the pregnancy stuff. Didn't like the hunting either, but it makes sense in the setting

I had trouble getting into this one for the first 20 ish%, but then I generally liked it ok. It was a quick and easy read. It's also a clean romance, so nothing more explicit than kissing is shown or implied. 

I was pretty wary when I saw the author was very religious, which can be an orange flag for me, but that thankfully didn't translate much into the book. 

I recieved this book for free as an ARC. All opinions are still my own.

Castle of Blood and Secrets by Michelle A. Darnell

medium-paced

3.5

I did generally like the book, the pacing just felt a bit up and down to me. Some parts flew by and I was fairly invested, and some seemed to drag a lot more. 

RenĂ© is probably one of the more annoying/unlikable characters I've read in a good while. 

It felt a bit different than a lot of the other vampire books I've read. 

I recieved this for free as an ARC.
