The worldbuilding is interesting and the plethora of characters is well-rounded with interesting multidimensional personalities. Especially disability is written very respectfully as a normal part of the characters' lives into the plot. I think I'll reread the series further soon.
It is worth mentioning, though, that some of the wordings and mindsets especially around lgbtq+ community (

But I thought the relationship between the MCs developed well, there was some good hurt/comfort, and the disability representation was surprisingly well done.
I hated Butch tbh, but maybe I was supposed to? I’ve heard he develops throughout the series. Overall very enjoyable read, but would only recommend to friends tolerant of the cringe/ generally some offensive stuff that just didn’t age well.
Ps. There’s a lot of sexual assault threat/ attempts floating throughout the book. None from close characters, but still enough to give someone the ick for sure.

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.

this story is mainly about Beth. She is an orphan. Half human, half vampire. Yet she doesn't know it. Wrath has been charged to look after her and protect her as she goes through a potential change to a vampire, which is 50/50 at this point given her parentage. As the story escalates, we learn more about the brotherhood, Wrath, The lessers, and the history of the vampires.
I really enjoyed this and I will definitely continue the series.

And yet, I continued on and could barely put it down. I was surprised to see how quickly Wrath was able to be vulnerable and tender with Beth, and I enjoyed their devotion to each other. I'm curious to see if the romances get more creative, because the spicy scenes were actually super tame.
