House of Night

This book started out really strong with its dark imagery. We were thrown into action and were told to expect worse. But it never came. It levelled out into a standard dark romantasy. I had hoped this was going to be gritier with a real bite to it, pun not intended. If the intensity of the prologue and first chapter kept up, I think it would have been a 5 🌟 read. But it slowly fizzed out.
