Veins of Darkness by Elizabeth A Drysdale is a young adult romantasy that I absolutely had to read. When I saw the tagline of… “In death’s embrace, she discovers the price of love” I knew without a doubt this book had to be in my life. Let me say I devoured it; I read it in a matter of hours… my attention was captured to the end; my kindle did not get lowered once. I absolutely loved the forbidden love vibe and what would you do for love? What lengths would you go? I really enjoyed these characters. It was easy to imagine the situations. I especially liked Cora and watching her come into her strength. Reading her embrace her true self and shrugging off the expectations was honestly a favorite of mine. The author did such a fantastic job with the writing that I felt transported to this world. The characters felt real as did their emotions was a highlight. This has to be one of my favorite young adult books I’ve read in a long time. I’m hoping for a sequel with different POV’s. There’s so much I want to say but don’t want to spoil anything; what I can say is you have to read this book. I highly recommend if you love a good clean romance with a gothic vibe in a romantasy setting. Two thumbs way up!
