About the author

Author BellaRosa is a proud blend of Spanish heritage and American roots, embracing both cultures in her everyday life. A devoted mother of two and a doting grandmother to two granddaughters—soon to be three—she calls Florida home, where she lives with her husband, a dedicated correctional police officer, and their two beloved cats.
When she’s not crafting chilling tales, BellaRosa can be found in the kitchen, whipping up delicious Mexican dishes and savoring every moment with her family. An avid reader, she finds as much joy in consuming stories as she does in creating them. Horror has been a lifelong passion, thanks to her sister Cass,and mother, Rosa, who first introduced her to the genre. Alongside her survival of coffee. Lol!
Frequent visits to Tennessee allow her to stay close to her loved ones, but wherever she goes, storytelling follows. Raised on horror, it was only natural for her to bring terrifying tales to life. Vampires hold a special place in her heart, and through her novels, she hopes to captivate readers and immerse them in the eerie, thrilling worlds she creates.

okay... I am now COMPLETELY hooked on this story!! I am OBSESSED with how M Mitchell writes, she LITERALLY had me hooked right from the beginning! One of the things I love most about this book ESPECIALLY knowing that it is her debut book, is that I felt EVERY ounce of emotion as the characters. Will I be rereading this arc again because I love it that much? You bet I am!! Thank you for creating such a wonderful book!!

This book had me hooked since at the prologue. I love the details and the way M. Mitchell writes. The FMC character is strong and vulnerable at the same time. The MMC is grumpy and loving at the same time. The character dimensions are spot on. There is depth to them. The connection and the burn and the anticipation is spot on. I can not wait to read the next book. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

The book, without giving spoilers as I'm not yet done, is lengthy, but the pacing is good. It feels like it was fleshed out, and the pacing when reading feels good. The story already has me captivated, and I can picture everything clearly in my mind. Honestly, I was hooked around the early chapters, and I'm actually enjoying it. I definitely recommend it.

This was an ARC for me. And I am truly honored to have had the privilege to read before the release!

The two main characters are just perfect for each other! The FMC is vulnerable but strong. The MMC is grumpy and loving. The anticipation of each move that they make, the connection they share together even through the end, and the burn that they have for each other… is beautiful! The perfect relationship! And the plot was just overall amazing!

The next book will also be an ARC, so stay tuned for that review as well! I’m so excited to read it!
