Definitely should’ve had a list of trigger warnings, did not expect the darkly emotional aspects such as selfharm and depression.  Besides that, entertaining story with good romance.

I had an absolute blast reading this. There were several problematic things I didn’t remember (such as how Rose is 17 when her and Dmitri get together for the first time), but there were some good messages mixed in too, and honestly, I just had fun. I can’t ask for anything more from a 2007 vampire novel
