4.75
I tossed up on ranking this a 4.75 or 5 star, because this book just slays so goddamn hard and is one that fully sticks with you. BUT IS ALSO FULLY FRUSTRATING. Cat, just kill the guy FFS. Why Rodney? Also why did old mate get turned into a vamp. I wanted the end of the fight between Cat and Bones to go a bit more slay than that ngl; I wanted it to have a bit more of an oomph. I NEEED Bones' perspective on this.
Also Vlad is the girl bestie; and Spade is an icon. I love these characters; and wow does everything make a lot more sense on the 2nd proper reread.

angelareads's review against another edition
The conflict here felt too contrived and gross. The characters are starting to feel tired and I've reached my breaking point with reading about how everyone finds the MCs so unbearably attractive that they must lie, be cruel, and be borderline assault-y. Sorry, but I'm done. The writing is very competent, so I think I'm going to switch to a different series by this author.
