Blood Mercy by Vela Roth

4.0

This is a slow-burn DREAM! You really get to know so much about the world and characters before they get together, and I loved that.
It was a bit hard to get into it because the writing is more on the formal side (which does lend its hand to the historical-esque vibes of the book), and a lot of the plot seems secondary. I'd say this book is 70% character driven and 30% plot driven.
These vampires may not sparkle in the sunlight, but Hesperines have my stamp of approval. This had the sexiest blood-drinking scenes AND cute banter!!! Loved it!
