Listen, I hate love triangles like this. But towards the end I was laughing because you literally have the character comparison for Xander as Joker and I was like oh yup, he’s not my little green haired beast boy lol

It was a bit of a slog to get through this book, I’m not gonna lie. And what’s most depressing about this is the fact that it genuinely had some really great potential. But somewhere after coming up with the mother’s backstory and the building of the world, all of the interesting pieces of this story got lost in the painfully slow writing, poorly executed plot twists, and the exceptionally dull characters.

I loved this book from the very start. Ava is a character that you bond with instantly and the plot just makes you hang onto every page!
A must read for book lovers of magic, vampires, and found family.
