A beginning to a series i think, but it felt a little...empty?
Not much happened, so im thinking its like a novella to tell us where it all began.
I will read the next one, with the hope that the story will pick up tho!

This is the first serial I've tried. I like the story much, but just as things were getting going, it ended. I guess that's the purpose. Story is off to a great start. I would like to read the remaining, but all at once so I'm going to search and see if I can find it completed. I've heard a bit about this author and its my first read by her. If things continue in the direction they are going, there are many possibilities, I felt it was a strong start.

Ooh! This was just a small taste of a much larger story, and I WANT MORE! Frater's writing is just as strong as I would expect it to be. I could feel the anxiety and anticipation nibbling at my stomach. I'm sure by the end I will be entirely devoured.

I’ve never had the chance to read Frater’s other books so I jumped at the chance to do a read along with Contagious Reads for her new serial series.
I felt that the opening was pretty strong and I loved how it draws you into the mystery of Venora’s life. Most of this is a flashback and it gave me some of the details I began to crave after that initial taste. I will say that I guessed early on what was going to happen but despite that I was still hooked and devoured this in about 20 minutes. The setting is dark and has a very gothic feel to it, and since some of my favorite books come from that genre I felt very at home with it. The vampire featured in this one is chilling, manipulative, and ruthless; just the way they should be. I really liked Vanora, she’s beyond her years and yet at the same time she has a bit of childish wonder about her. While I wasn’t overwhelmed by the story itself I loved the way Frater presented it, and with the way it ends I’m definitely looking forward to more!
