Another banger from Carissa, are we surprised at this point? LOVED this. Read this after Ashes, but I was very intrigued about Lilith and was so excited to see that she was the FMC. Loved watching her and Vale's relationship grow. I also really enjoyed the plague aspect and the science of it all. This world is so so cool and I'll most definitely read anything she writes in it,

Not my fave in this series but I do love a vampire and a scientist. Plus it’s epistolary, hot, and the plague of it all is very cool. Maybe I just needed more? And his POV (for like a chapter) would have been excellent.

I swear, there's crack in the pages of this book. There's no way a story this short (it is a novella, after all) can make me feels all the feels in less than 200 pages. But it did. Carissa is a magician. A wonderful magician. And I'm here for it!

I hope this isn't the last I see if Vale and Lilith, because I. Need. More!! 

I think my favorite nickname ever was Vale's for Lilith - mouse. 🖤

This was a cute lil stand alone. I really like Carissa Broadbent’s writing style! Since it was so short, I didn’t feel as super connected to the characters but I thought it was a lovely little vampire story! Excited to see more of Lilith and Vale in the rest of the series!
