Was surprised by this book, I liked it a lot. The only things I had trouble with was the main character's inability to utter a serious word. Everything out of her mouth is something sarcastic or "witty".

There isn't too much in the way of sex, it's there, and only mild. More like Kate Daniels. Although it is a big part of the relationship between the main characters. We have an opposites attract. Vampire/Slayer romance. A hint of love triangle, a bunch of situations where there is kill or be killed.

It is the first in a (so far) trilogy, the books are kind of hefty and don't really drag. That's just my opinion. A lot happens in a short period of time, but there are chapters with the heading "two months later" so it isn't like a month is being crammed in one book.

There is definite insta-love (on his side) after insta-hate (vampire/slayer). That kind of gets annoying. I was never a fan of the quick burn. Give the book a read, it's on Kindle Unlimited - the whole trilogy is, so if you have it it isn't a waste of money if you decide not to finish.

First time I read this author, so it was a total surprise. I only got it because the cover and the premise seemed good.

I am currently halfway through the second in the series.

If you can get over the heroines smart mouth you will probably enjoy the book. If you are turned off by it and are hoping it will change as the book goes on, it won't. ( )

5 mind blowing stars

I was recommended to read this book but had been leery as vampire romance is usually not my thing. Well, I can say I am a convert now because good lord this book was phenomenonal.

Isla is hands down my favorite character ever. Her one liners, movie references, and snark were Hilarious. I was torn between Thorne and Emrick. I could see the pull going either way for them.

This author created a world that was so realistic that If I was to discover this book with no previous knowledgeable, I would think that vampires were real.

Seriously, my mind is blown. ( )
