This is a really unique vampire story, and I loved it!!The characters are really interesting, of course I love Abigail and maybe Reese, if he ever stops being an idiot! The world has changed and Vampires and Humans are supposed to live together in peace, but things are exactly the way they should be. I really enjoyed this and am really looking forward to reading the next book!

its really cute i like hoe abbi makes friends and starts to explore more. I definitely did not like how everthing is going with reece but im hoping it gets better. I like this take on the vampire genre though.

Very fast paced. I found the vampire lore pretty cool. But mostly 2010s wattpad vibes. Eh.

Despite the writing being subpar and the sequence of events needing some editing… this story was actually not bad
I got it on stuff you kindle day and it wasn’t the usual and predictable storyline

A very different origin story for not only our female protagonist, Abigail (Abi) Byler, but also for the vampires themselves. The story begins with Amish 17 yr old Abigail and 3 friends attending a bonfire during their RumspringaI. This is Abigail's very first party and it has devastating consequences. I really like Abi and Reece. There are a few promising side characters also. The "Queen" is a piece of work for sure and I am not trusting anyone in power at this point. This ends on a cliffhanger, definitely no HEA or even a HFN, but Abi and her new friends are choosing their own path.

I will read book 2, but will wait until book 3 is out. Possibly until 4. Lol I have "Need To Know Now Syndrome (NTKNS).

The genre and the overall idea of the series is intriguing in theory but falls short in execution. It's very fast paced, skips ahead in time a lot, overlooks certain aspects of the storyline, plotholes. Feels like it was written for wattpad (not in a good way). This coudl've been really good if they sat on it a little longer and workshopped a little harder. There isn't really anything to the love interest aside from meeting at a party once, then flashfoward like four months and they are destined to be togehter but the chemistry is so lackluster.

Eh it was fine - surprisingly boring though given the plot. Tbh i dont get what is so special about Abbi that Imogen wont just go and make another ‘daughter.’ The conflict felt quite forced and i would have like Abbi’s Amish upbringing to influence the story a bit more.

This was a cute and lighthearted darker fantasy.  Yes, I wrote those words.  The premise is dark, but moments felt more like a cute romcom than a dark vampire fantasy.  And then other moments reminded me this is a vampire book.  The love story felt a bit rushed, but still believable, especially for a naïve former Amish girl.
