This feels so much like OLD paranomal teen romance and I LOVED it! If I was judging it by 2023 YA standards I’d be like um no but I went into it being told it’s silly, angsty and cliche like 2010 vibes and I think that made me enjoy it more, my expectations were on the floor so I was pleasantly surprised! 

It’s like Vampire Academy and House of Night vibes and it seriously was a lot of fun. I thought it was funny there was references to Legacies because man this feels a lot like that show too, it feels how teen books used to feel when I was younger and I forgot how much I missed that! 

I know a lot of people didn’t like this because it’s cliche and the writing is a bit naive but that just added to the nostalgia I felt for it even though it’s the first time I’ve read it. I think it just brought me back to the angsty twilight teen phase, and the parallels were pretty strong tbh. 

I was quite hesitant at first and don’t get me wrong there is a bit of cringe with this book but honestly I’m here for a fun time and enjoy books I don’t have to think too hard on or try too hard to read so this really hit the spot to bump my reading goal in an weirdly enjoyable way.
