Vampire's Kiss by Kim Faulks, Atlas Rose

For having such an amazing premise and base, this was executed very poorly. There is nothing worse than a FMC who is all talk. Who thinks she is a bada** but is just weak. That was Ruth to a t. She cowered behind her daddy her whole life. She said, at 8, that she would never be weak again, yet she did nothing to achieve that? No self defense, weapons training? Nothing. I kept thinking her brilliant mind would be her strength. Nope. She had nothing. No plans. To top that off, this book read like a dream. It was incredibly choppy and the entire time I was asking myself ‘how did I get here?’ There was zero relationship building. The MMCs weren’t even truly introduced until the final 1/3 of the book, and even then it was the worst case of “instalove” and “you’re mine” I’ve ever read. Zero chemistry, character or relationship development. As intriguing as this storyline was at its core, and as many questions as I still have, the writing was a disaster and I won’t be continuing the series.
