Fatal Harmony by Anne Malcom

4.0

I had mixed feelings about this when I got to about 45% and I almost gave up on it. It was the reviews on here that made me persevere on it and actually I'm pretty glad I did!

Very unique take on vamps and having copper as their downfall and temples as the place to kill them.

Isla is our main h, being a sassy, sarcastic, wise cracking, fashionista almost 500yr old vamp. It takes a while to realise that this is all obviously a heavy front to what is actually a calm, emotionally scarred, young and worried woman.
It would have been nice to dial it down sometimes- it got a bit grating to have a witty redictable response come from her.

The king was interesting. I have to say I had hoped for him and Isla and not completely writing it out...

Thorne. Interesting. WHAT is he?? A bit Romeo and Juliet starcrossed lovers thing going on. It's surprising how long tge y fly under the radar with who they are and who specifically Isla is doing undercover work for. Especially as she is from one of the vein lines.....

As I said I nearly stopped reading at about 45%....it just dropped. I really did have to force myself to pick it up. It DID pick back up but it was a trek. It's cos of this I'm not heading onto book 2 right away. I need a "refresher book" or 2 to cleanse the palate so to speak!! Just something easy to read but I think I will be back...

I need to find out what Thorne is...and if anything will happen with the king ....!
