But I thought the relationship between the MCs developed well, there was some good hurt/comfort, and the disability representation was surprisingly well done.Â
I hated Butch tbh, but maybe I was supposed to? I’ve heard he develops throughout the series. Overall very enjoyable read, but would only recommend to friends tolerant of the cringe/ generally some offensive stuff that just didn’t age well.Â
Ps. There’s a lot of sexual assault threat/ attempts floating throughout the book. None from close characters, but still enough to give someone the ick for sure.Â

So many things were conveniently coincidental. It was full of tropes that I hate, like fridging, dubious consent, insta-lust/love, etc...
The take on vampires was different I suppose but the secret society based enemy was decidedly wacky. Will not be continuing the series.

Also, the pacing for me was a just a tad slow because of the switching of pov's with no real progress in the story. The ending was sorta good but it ofc had to leave it open for the next books, which i will not be reading.
Also also, i have a bone to pick with book covers that sugest spicy themes but they're actually not. This is one of them.

this story is mainly about Beth. She is an orphan. Half human, half vampire. Yet she doesn't know it. Wrath has been charged to look after her and protect her as she goes through a potential change to a vampire, which is 50/50 at this point given her parentage. As the story escalates, we learn more about the brotherhood, Wrath, The lessers, and the history of the vampires.Â
I really enjoyed this and I will definitely continue the series.
