I'm just not fully loving these books unfortunately. I'm not hating them by no means but for me they are just ok. The characters are what's making me keep reading. I'm invested in the characters and all of the relationships, and I need to know how things play out however the overall story is dragging so much and I'm kind of finding myself a little bored with it. I am going to read the other books I just really hope things pick up in the next book. I've been buddy reading this series with Ali and we will be reading the next book in February.

I loved it!
This world is amazing! Can't wait for the next books!!!

So.....I basically finished this in one sitting. I mean. I. MEAN. We have tortured Bastien and his cheekbones, Mademoiselle Celine Rousseau who's sick of everyone's shit, a cadre of also tortured, also sexy, steamy, vampires and their (probably amazing but not specifically mentioned) cheekbones. I MEAN! The plot was so fast paced and the world-building so exquisite I just couldn't put it down for one second. I also enjoyed the introduction and exploration of more creatures and a maybe evil? Lady Galadriel the Mysterious whose intentions and powers are unknown but super intriguing. This felt like the set up to even more sexysteamy vampiric adventures and some epic machinations/supernatural wars. I can't WAIT to see what happens next!
