AND YET. I finished it. I've dnf'd books for far less. I think the story got in its own way too much trying to have All The Things With All The Backstory. It was apparent from the jump that there's a lot of worldbuilding going on beneath the surface. I liked most of the side characters and am curious to see what happens...but I'm not jumping into book 2 right away.
Minor: Animal cruelty and Transphobia

So many things were conveniently coincidental. It was full of tropes that I hate, like fridging, dubious consent, insta-lust/love, etc...
The take on vampires was different I suppose but the secret society based enemy was decidedly wacky. Will not be continuing the series.

I absolutely adore this book, in my opinion it was a great debut book. And I don’t care abut how people feel about this series, I never get tired of reading it.
Wrath is just more complex and meaningful than he was when he was introduced. I absolutely love him and I am so glad that he was the first brother that we got to see. Him and Beth are just so perfect together. I love that their love changed him for the better and that he now values the importance of love and coming to terms with all of his past.
Beth was absolutely adorable, and of Course who could forget about boo.
