Remy is stupid. He knows it but last time he checked intelligence wasn't a requirement to be a Reaper. And everyone treats him like shit because they think he's a half-vampire. It's maddening to see him save people who don't give a shit about him time and time again. Like have some self-respect...

Malekh is an intelligent doctor. And their dynamic with Remy is something to behold. Xiaodan isn't particularly smart but she cares deeply about people. 

That's one of the few romance book where there's chemistry AND character development. Sometimes it's frustrating to see characters refuse to communicate. I can see why but come on... At the end they FINALLY talk think out like adults they are.

There's also politics and I don't think it was writen well. Part of it is each character having half a dozen names and titles. It took me half the book to figure out Zidan and Malekh are the same person give me a break pls. And part of it is that Remy doesn't care for politics. I really wanted to be invested in politics but I just couldn't. There's way too many side characters with little page time. 

I really wish it has a character list at the beginning. 

I am gonna read book 2 eventually.
