This book was full of excitement!! It was also comical. I loved the banter between Gabe and Lennon. I also loved that she wasn't the one unable to control her feelings. She was true to herself and never lost sight of her responsibilities. The vampire was constantly pursuing her, but he was also adamant that while he wanted her, he also wanted her blood. It wasn't a situation where love overcame the natural tendencies of a monster and it's natural enemy. The story kept me on the edge of my seat with their race to figure out what was hunting Lennon and finding out how to kill it. It was a great story!

(I was provided an ARC by the author for an honest review.)

(4.5 rounded up to 5) Well this was short and sweet! And hot heads up for anyone expecting ~spice~, this is not a spicy book. Though our main vamp Gabe wants to get with his huntress so bad Iā€™m sure some of the next novellas in this series will get us there ;)

I really liked this book because it introduces us to the characters and binds them together in life or death situations, some of which they havenā€™t yet let themselves feel okay with! In this novella format, I think thereā€™s a lot a lot a lot of mobility for both Gabriel and Lennon as we follow their ā€œwill they wonā€™t theyā€ journey.

I think my favorite thing so far is that Gabriel is downright fine with being a vampire. Thereā€™s no vampy angst about whether or not his soul is damned *cough cough mr Edward Cullen looking u bb* Heā€™s just living his little vampy life and while he may need to get it together a little more than not Iā€™m excited to see if he can learn and grow as a person.

Lennon also needs to loosen up a little bit, which Iā€™m sure is hard when you have no friends and you spend your life hunting vampires. Open ur eyes girlie!! Thereā€™s more to life than staking vamps! But that doesnā€™t mean u have to stay away from them entirely get my drift??? ;)

Anyways Iā€™m excited for the next installment!! Hope yā€™all enjoy this novella like I did!

I loved this enemies to lovers between Vampire and Vampire Hunter!! Gabe and Lennon are great characters and their chemistry is amazing, even though they want to kill each other. I canā€™t wait to see how things progress with them!! I love Easton too, a great friend to Gabe!! Gabe is definitely my favorite character, and you can already see his characterā€™s growth by the end of this book. I look forward to seeing more of that growth!!
