Great debut book!

I’ve read a LOT amount of queer vampire stories, but this is one of my favorites.

First of all, the book cover slaps. Amazing design.

Second, I loved the “protagonist on the run” angle and the mystery around it. There was always enough story to keep me captivated, in fact I couldn’t put the book down.

Third, Ezra, Killian, and Marigold are all precious characters and I love them.

Fourth, the gothic elements are so cool. I hope we see more horror in the future.

Lastly, I normally go for spicier books, but the slow burn in this was just so satisfying, and I look forward to it building more in the next book. All in all, I really liked it!

It isn’t 5 stars because I feel like Killian falling hard for Ezra wasn’t explained as well as it could’ve been; the pacing of their relationship wasn’t as smooth as it could be. The pacing with the villains was a bit choppy as well. But I think this is just the author getting into their groove as a writer, and will smooth out as they continue writing.
