Disclaimer: I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to Michelle Heron, Imogene Nix, and Total E-Bound Publishing for this free copy. All quotes in this review are taken from the Advanced Reader Copy and may change in final publication.
I want to say that this series went through a rewrite and republication, but Goodreads didn’t have the new dates, so I’m pretty sure I have the old information in my graphic. If I end up finding the new information somewhere, I’ll update the graphic sometime! *Edit: I ended up finding the updated information so I did update the graphic! Yay me!* But this was such a fun opportunity, and I’ll be reviewing the next two books in this trilogy sometime soon, so stay tuned for the rest of my reviews hopefully before the end of the year!
trust but verify that the people in your circle are on your team
Without spoilers, I would say that even though people claim to be on your team, you still need to do your due diligence to make sure that’s really the case. In this novel, Xavier is the newest Master of this nest of vampires and “nestlings” – which I’m understanding are the humans that live and work with the group of vampires within each nest? Or at least the young adult humans? I’m still a little unclear about that since Hope’s parents weren’t called Nestlings, but I don’t really remember them being called anything besides whatever Hope’s father’s official title was…. which I forgot what it actually was…
But yeah, what was I saying? Oh right. Even if they are part of your home, your nest, your team, make sure they are actually trustworthy and aren’t looking for a way to usurp your authority or working with the enemy to find a way to murder you. That’s not fun.
As far as how to do that without letting the traitor know that you’re looking for them… well hopefully you have at least one person within your midst that you trust absolutely.
I feel like this ended as a full story, so maybe the trilogy isn’t really related to one another besides being in the same world? Either way, I do appreciate being able to read this first novel to get an idea of the lore that Nix created, the writing style that she has, and the kind of pace that I can anticipate for the rest of the trilogy. I have a feeling that there are going to be some other couples that I’m going to be introduced to, so I’m interested to see how those couples compare to Hope & Xavier.
