This novel gave me such Elena Gilbert vibes from the vampire diaries. I lived the story 10/10 would recommend for TVD fans and people who love messy families lol.

It was a pretty good read. I'm going to read the series but can be a little cliche.

I went into this with a skeptical mindset because there are so many vampire books out there, but found myself actually enjoying the characters and feeling involved and invested. This take on vampires genuinely is one that has potential. I really liked that by the end of the book Taylor also didn’t hold back or bite her tongue so there was decent character development. I genuinely liked the book and was upset that it ended at the climax! So I bought book 2!! Only downsides in my opinion were 1: I wanted to see more variety in James personality. I don’t think a vampire who spent decades killing would stop brooding or feeling extreme guilt etc. He was a bit one toned, not in a bad way-but there just wasn’t any drama or highs and lows. So his niceness and love for Taylor I couldn’t feel deeper. 2: The fashion descriptions had me cringing just a bit because it felt very outdated and not realistic to what teenagers of the time and lifestyle would wear. The Party at the end was fine but all of the outfits prior just sounded awful. 3: The love story fell into place a little odd to me because they didn’t talk about their interests or deep things like ever. They claimed to like each other for who they are- but I ended up having to gaslight myself into thinking it wasn’t infatuation. Their conversations just didn’t get on a deeper level to me on their own-circumstances had to force it out if at all. Maybe I don’t understand or know how love works but to me it just seemed not that deep? Like the emotional turmoil and drama near the end is what I wanted to see bits and pieces of earlier so I could understand the attraction.

Wow….I read every single evening after work…wow I loved this and it won’t disappoint you either..it keeps you flipping to see what’s going to happen next!!! I can’t wait to read the next one now!!!!

I wish I’d never started this series. The story’s progression is painfully slow. The details are vague and a lot of teasers that lead to nothing. I don’t think I’ll give this author another try.

Never has a book brought me so much emotion in more ways than one the characters are well put together it was truly an amazing paranormal romance for a long night of wanting something worth reading for.

I couldn’t stop reading it

Oh my god. I have no words to form exactly how good this book was. I wasn’t expecting much because it was free but truly it was amazing. This author is incredibly talented.

I love it and I enjoyed it it’s amazing 💞

I loved this and couldn’t put it down!
