Wanna know how to get me to read vampire books? Make it sapphic.

Not only vampires but also a SAPPHIC ENEMIES TO LOVERS romance between a vampire and vampire hunter. FAKE DATING?!?!? "Do I want to kill you or kiss you?" BEAUTY AND THE BEAST RETELLING? The recipe for success in my book.

Calla and Isolde make this book. Their banter, push and pull relationship was so well done. And yet it's another instance where I wish there were two points of view! Absolutely needed more of Isolde.

I was having such a fun time with this book until about the 80% mark, I think? I still had a fun time, but things really started to feel rushed. I don't particularly like that the ending gave the reader more questions than answers. Things kinda flew over my head, and I think that was mostly because I was so enamored with Calla and Isolde 😳.

Thank you so so much to Tallie Rose for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review. You are a blessing to the sapphic world.
