Overall enjoyed the book. It was a nice fun read plus it has vampires in it. Also gorgeous cover design!
I enjoyed the center characters especially with the found family aspect. I also appreciate that Kimberly is a strong MC and can hold her own. She does suffer from typical “I’m better off being by myself” energy but it doesn’t really amount to much because it gets quickly brushed off. Aaron is a delight and I do love his golden retriever energy. I’m looking forward to them becoming a couple in the future books.
The flaws of this book though are with then ending around the last 50 pages for me. I felt that it was rushed to the end with a bunch of info dumping about the brothers and with the enemies of the series. I feel like this will be better in the future books but it did bring down this book.
Also very picky and not too serious is I dislike the names of these groups… like the Family and the Legion. They just make me cringe a bit.
But I will definitely read the next book!
