By the second half of the book, I couldn't wait to finish it.
I really wanted to like this book. I LOVED the premise. Lesbian fantasy about a selkie and a vampire? Yes, please. But the writing left something to be desired. Though this is part of a series, I read this book first and never read the first one, and won't be reading any more from the series. My main issue is that it is one of the books in which it focuses a lot more on thoughts then narration. Everything is told from a perspective like reading the mind of the two main characters, and that is okay for a bit, but because it was the entire book, I got tired of it fast. Instead of saying, I wish it showed more. That's something many of my writing professors have taught in their classes too, don't say, show. An example of how this takes away from the story is the two main characters are supposed to be in love with each other, but I never once felt any chemistry between them, just their thoughts of how much they can't stop thinking about the other.
Continuing on my disappointment of the relationship between these two is that their relationship had no build up. It started as strangers -> omg they are so hot -> I really want to f*ck them -> I'm in love with them. With very few interactions between any of these. Overall, I couldn't wait to finish it because I find it too big of a waste to DNF books, but I thought about it many times.
