cinderackerman's review against another edition
I was interested in this story, we're all a sucker for a good Vampire romance, but I couldn't get myself invested in this one. There were a few things that didn't seem to add up and the pace of the story was almost too quick. Drawing out the story a little more could do a world of wonders and could also patch up some of the holes.
Something about the main character having weird 'feelings' for a person who wrecked into her and killed her friends is off. Never mind the story behind this, for the first half of the story, this is what we and the character believe. It just seems weird to feel anything but rage for someone like that. Also, her friends at the Bastion act as if they know what Reece looks like despite never meeting him.
I wasn't quite able to finish this story, but I always recommend that others read it on their own to make their own deductions!

I liked the book very much, the plot was appealing but overall I think the story lacked personal story building, rather than how it constantly talks about the cave structures they live in, I wanted to know more about her shift into the Bastion, like what where her living quarters like, simple day to day things along with the story would have been great.
It’s an easy read and I think it’s good otherwise.

Great start
Great start to a new series. I am looking forward to reading more from this author. Would recommend to those looking for another modern vampire take.
