The pacing, scene setting and plot itself are brilliant and engaging in this. It didn’t feel like a longer book and I was riveted the whole way through.
I love the character development that continues from book 1 into book 2, I love these characters so much and hope I get to see them in the other books of the series!
If you love vampires, action & enemies to lovers then get reading!

The only reason it’s not a 5 star is that I would have loved a bit more background on the different houses & magic systems but it is in no way lacking and doesn’t confuse the story!
I love Oraya and her story, I love the enemies to lovers trope and chosen one trope too! The challenges faced by her were cruel and relentless and I loved reading about a feisty human woman fighting against the odds!
The ending was brilliant and I can’t wait to start book 2!

Did not finish book. Stopped at 9%.
Then the way Helen is described - it’s almost like she’s being negged? She almost looked attractive in a certain light, at a certain angle?! And constant reference to her small breasts that were surprisingly ok?!
