Secret Vampire 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After Poppy is diagnosed with terminal cancer, she discovers her only hope of survival is her childhood best friend, James. As a born vampire, James has the ability to turn Poppy but it means the pair of them must risk everything and break the three most important rules of the Night World. 

I adore this story, I honestly can’t even begin to guess at the shear number of times I have read it since I was around 10 years old or so. This forbidden/doomed love story has such a special place in my heart and I don’t think that is ever going to change. 

Poppy and James are easily my favourite Night World couple!

Daughters of Darkness
⭐️⭐️⭐️

When three renegade vampires leave their home, on the run from their brother, they plan to join their aunt, who lives in exile amongst humans. Mary-Lynette takes notice of these three strangers, the sudden disappearance of their aunt, and the appearance of the sisters’ brother, and knows that something isn’t quite right…

I’ve read these book many times, and to be honest, Daughters of Darkness is one of my least favourites. I’m not sure why, I just never really connected with any of the characters and I always feel quite indifferent towards them, the storyline and the relationships. 

Enchantress
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Witches Thea and Blaise are cousins, but have grown up as close as sisters. Moving from place to place, they end up living with their grandmother. Attending a new school, Thea meets Eric and everything changes. But Blaise is used to getting what she wants, and if there’s something this witch loves, it’s human play toys, and she has her eyes set on Eric…

Despite having read this story more times than I can count, it is still one of my favourites in the series. I love Thea and Blaise and I really enjoyed it that we get to see different aspects of it throughout the story. Also the relationship between Thea and Eric is very sweet and enjoyable, and I love how Thea truly becomes a part of his family and is loved by Eric’s mother and sister.

It was a great buffer before moving on to my next book. It’s a super easy read and the book is 3 books in one so it’s nice to kinda leave and come back to. It’s dark because is a monster genre style but it’s still pretty nice.
