I enjoyed this! ⭐️ Reading it during Halloween was the perfect move too - the vibes matched the season really well. Vampires, witches, hunters, music lessons, Dracula, Venice as our place.
The idea of soulmates, when done well, can be one of my favorite elements in a story. Now, combine soulmates with one losing the other over and over again while forced to live forever and remember them and my heart is here for this. With all its anguish, it’s a story that makes you want to keep reading to see if things will be different this time around. I like the fact that each of the reincarnations came with different context and different…baggage if you will. Based on the epilogue, I’m excited for the conclusion to this duology!
