This book was what i wanted twilight to be. It was a 3.5/5 for me because it was pretty slow in the world building and telling of what happened but I enjoyed the chapters from Jaxon’s POV at the end. I will definitely read the second book because I enjoyed the story line and am excited to see what happens!

Definitely entertaining but the writing seemed a bit juvenile at points and predictable. I will continue reading the series because it has kept me intrigued and reading despite those points.

Twilight but make it gen z. That’s it, that’s the review. 


Just kidding. 
As someone who was a teenager when twilight hit the shelves, no YA vampire love story is going to touch it. But I can fully appreciate the audience this was written for and know that it’s successful in its execution. The issues for me lie specifically with just how painfully, cringing-ly (this is a word now) Gen Z it is. I don’t enjoy dialogue that includes “AF” unironically (and all the time). The characters are dumb, lovable but dumb, and i think that’s a disservice to all of them. The fact that Twilight, as a book, exists in this universe and it is GIVEN to the protagonist as a very obvious gift/clue and she still can’t figure what’s going on? The reader is never going to believe that. But someone could easily have similar gripes about Twilight, and I refuse to reconsider the 5 star the rating my teen heart gave those books. So, I get it. This is definitely that for some swooning teens out there 

I devoured this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely continue the series!

Ok so first of all, it is not a twilight rip off, and i can say that as twilight was the last book ive read. But you know it really has elemntw of twilight and legacies and all of those Vampire stereotypes, but they actually address Thema, which makes this book totally aware of all of its faults, kinda ironic. But you know, if you love the vampire who hates everyone but you and wants to stay away from you but can't type then you're at the right place. I also should say, this book does not include a love triangle.
