dark
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes

In this episode of Sister Wives: Vampire Revenge. . .
In all seriousness, I'm still not really sure if I liked this book or not. There were some parts I was just not intoConstanta loving Alexi "like a son" while harboring sexual desire for him; the near incessant use of calling the fledging vamps brother and sisters who also have sex with each other, sometimes calling each other sister/brother WHILE having sex; the fact that the poly relationship seemed to be built and sustained on a trauma bond and not much else yo .
I liked the writing, although it did feel a bit like an inferior Anne Rice imitation at times. I like that she denies the perpetrator a name (even though we're basically told what it is on the back of the book, sigh). But otherwise it . . . well, it just was another vampire story, I guess.
