Love Bites Vol. 1 Book Review
2.5 stars
First off, I’d like to thank NetGalley for the ARC!
Love Bites had all the vibes I was looking for: romance, drama, tension, and most importantly, supernatural elements. I genuinely thought this graphic novel was going to be a hit for me, and while some parts worked, a lot of it unfortunately didn’t.
One thing I did enjoy was the feud between the werewolves and vampires. It’s such a classic supernatural conflict, and I liked the history behind their rivalry. I also really liked Marcella. She was honestly one of the better characters in the story because she actually acted like a supportive friend, which is refreshing considering how many side-character best friends tend to disappoint in stories like this. Ironically, Kieran ended up doing exactly that instead.
Now onto what didn’t work for me: Kieran and Mason’s relationship moved way too fast. There was barely any buildup before the story pushed them into romance, and because of that, their connection felt rushed and kind of hollow. Personally, I think Volume 1 would’ve benefited more from showing them slowly growing closer first instead of immediately jumping into attraction and messy relationship drama. Like yes, Kieran being attracted to Mason’s blood makes sense in context, but the insta-love angle felt outdated… which I guess fits the vampires too, hehe.
I also wish the story focused more on the supernatural and magical elements rather than the romance. The world itself had potential, but instead of expanding on that, the plot kept circling back to relationship drama and miscommunication. And speaking of miscommunication: that trope is tired. Not communicating doesn’t make characters mysterious or compelling — it just makes them frustrating to read about.
Overall, this graphic novel had a fun premise and some entertaining moments, but I left feeling like it could’ve been so much more. Still, if you’re looking for a quick, messy, drama-filled supernatural read, this might work for you.
Bye!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me an ARC of this graphic novel in exchange for an honest review.
That cliffhanger!! I need more!
I am obsessed with this. Immediately I liked all of the characters. Cella is so cute and such a kind person. I love that she knows Kieran is a vampire and it’s not a secret at least to her.
I felt the tension between Mason and Kieran right away. I’m not a big fan of the trope of “I hate him but I can’t stay away or I think he is hot” but it worked for them and I didn’t really mind it here. Their banter was really funny.
I didn’t love the slight cheating vibes, but I am glad they addressed it and didn’t let it happen again. Cella doesn’t deserve that, as much as I want Kieran and Mason together. I also wouldn’t mind Cella and Maria getting together if that is the direction it is going! Even still Maria is a sweet girl too.
I was worried we wouldn’t get any action between Kieran and Mason the whole first volume, but I’m glad we got some! It was sweet to see Kieran care for Mason, even if it only happened a few times. I can’t wait to see how it progresses! I am desperate for them to be together. I could see some hints on things to come and it got me very excited. I have so many theories.
I thought it was an interesting take on vampires that you could pick being in the light or being in the dark. I haven’t really seen that before.
There was the perfect amount of angst that hit me in the feels, and I am sure there is more to come.
I am sure Kieran’s brother will give him a hard time as things continues which scares me.
I loved the art style too. The colors are really pretty. I loved that it was so expressive too. I could tell all of the characters emotions, even though it was in 2D.
I am desperate for more content! I loved this and cannot wait to see where it goes.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!!
I read most of this on WEBTOONS and I freaked out when I saw it was getting published. I love when graphic novel artists online get recognized!! This is a classic vampire/werewolf enemies to lovers story. Kieran has trauma with werewolves after a pack of them murdered his mother. But he feels something for the new boy Mason who is also a werewolf. I think I got to this point in the series also so it’s fun to see what will be next! I always get a bit exhausted with the back and forth of a “will they won’t they” romance but I have a feeling that something deep is going on between these 2 and they are fighting it. Also I feel bad for Kieran’s friend who is in the middle of it because she is dating Mason. Either way someone will get hurt by them being together.

Thank you to Net Galley for the ARC!!
I really enjoy the characters and the relationship but between Mason and Kieran. I have originally read this story on WEBTOON, and I found it a little hard to read in the ARC format. It felt like pages were missing and setting changes were very abrupt. Due to this, I am going to have to take my rating down to three stars instead of four. It was a very easy read and I do recommend it for someone just getting into MLM webtoons. I can’t wait to see where the rest of the story goes!

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Screaming.
I am always up for a good vampire and werewolf story. Especially when the vampires and werewolves are past enemies, especially especially when there is going to be a romance involved. When I tell you I was invested immediately. This is just what I needed after reading a few heavier things. This was such a fun story.
Now, I will say, you have to go in with the expectation of this being a fun, not that deep story, but in a good way. One of the plot points in this book is literally called the “Alpha Complex” and it is played seriously. So, go in with that in mind. That being said, the characters are fun, the story is straightforward and interesting, and the romance is great. My only gripes are that there is a bit of a cheating plot and there is the potential for a “liar revealed” plot point later on, and I am not a huge fan of those. However, I will say it doesn’t really take away from the story as a whole. I still thoroughly enjoyed this wild ride.
One thing I really love about this story specifically, is that our male characters are not afraid to have actual emotions. Of course they have the normal angry, somewhat jealous, protective, etc. ones, but they also cry and genuinely care about other people. They understand that their anger and jealousy are sometimes out of line. They are not afraid to apologize and admit these failings. I love it. Our female characters are also really cool, though I hope we get more about them as we go in deeper to the story.
The art style is also great. It is a sort of blend of anime and comic book style art. I like the character designs. Specifically the design of our werewolf. The hair? The freckles? So cute.
With all that being said, I have a few very important questions. Ahem. *pushes glasses up nose, looks at notes*: How could you do this to me? How could we end on a cliffhanger like that? How? Why? Why did you hurt me in this way? I did not notice that big, giant Vol. 1 there on the cover. That is definitely my fault, but I am blaming you, too. AHHHHHHH!!!
Thanks to Netgalley and WEBTOON Unscrolled SO much for DRC. I will be requesting all other volumes that you allow me to and will *devour* every one.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
There’s a lot of depth in this graphic novel and a lot of character development in this Romeo and Juliet story. One the one side we have Kieran, a young vampire whose mother was murdered by werewolves, and on the other Mason, son of the Alpha of the werewolf pack that has just move into town. Kieran knows there’s something off about Mason; the way his heart senses grow stronger when Mason is nearby, the way he’s drawn to him. He blames it on the scent of his blood, how intoxicating it smells, and the way he’s thrust himself into Keiran’s proximity drives him up the wall.
For all his protestations he doesn’t want to hurt Mason. Honestly, he doesn’t know what he wants with him … but he does want. he’s also facing tension at home as it’s nearly time for him to choose the dark or the day, and I’m not certain if choosing the day will cut him off from his vampiric family. That’s probably something that will come up in a future installment. And then his gift. Where his brother can turn into a bird, Kieran has a power that forces people to obey when he speaks, something he’s told again and again he shouldn’t ever use.
So he’s confused, uncertain, mixed up, and trying very hard not to have a crush on the werewolf boy next door.
Mason’s life is just as difficult, though we don’t see much of it. He’s the son of the alpha and his instincts are heightened — even for a werewolf — with issues controlling his temper, his territoriality, and his jealousy. Rather than use physical attacks, Mason has trained himself to be cruel, cutting, and an asshole. He manipulates people around him rather than command them, he makes them feel like crap rather than kill them. And his newest target is Kieran.
They circle one another like fencers, each ready to go for the throat … and neither of them knowing if they want to draw first blood or fall in love. It’s a fun story, well drawn, well paced, and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
Thank you so very much to Net Galley and the publisher for the ARC!

Graphic Novel | Love triangle | Supernatural
Thank you to WEBTOON Unscrolled for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!
• Plot:
Love Bites Vol 1: A WEBTOON Unscrolled Graphic Novel is about vampires trying to live in harmony with werewolves by using a pact. On the day of the MC being reminded of losing his mom to a werewolf, he encounters a new student in his class who is considered attractive. Mason is extremely friendly and tries to warm up to Kieran, but they don’t hit it off. The closer Kieran gets to Mason, the more the MC struggles to resist his blood unlike others.
• What I Liked:
The kiss scene kind of catches you off guard with their emotions running high.
• What Didn’t Work for Me:
It’s a little weird that Kieran more often than not addresses Mason by saying his entire name, which is Mason Kaine.
• Themes / Ideas:
Pacts, supernatural beings, love triangle, etc.
• Who I’d Recommend It To: The guys in this are not flat-out gay at least right now they're not; they have feelings for each other, sort of, but it’s probably because their natural reactions to each other are warped by their makeup of being supernatural. So, if you’re okay with that, you might enjoy seeing their push-and-pull connection. There isn’t any spice just kissing so far, so that’s great.
• Overall Thoughts: A vampire, werewolf, and third-wheeling human girl become friends. But, is the human girl actually the third wheel, more like the MC vampire is over time, or is he, haha! The 1st volume will have you guessing with the mix of friends and lovers. Really, the vampire and the human girl have been best friends platonically for years, and then the werewolf guy comes along and sort of messes with both of them. It ends with the two boys having an intense moment after awkward confessions. The vampire guy, Kieran, is a loyal friend, an introvert, and a bit wimpy, whereas the werewolf guy, Mason, is a jock and an extrovert.

➜ Ok so I had such mixed feelings about this book lmao… It was literally Twilight but gay and a graphic novel. It was a super easy read, so I LOVED that! And on top of that the illustrations were so good, and Mason (the werewolf) looked so so hot omg. Another thing that I liked was how dramatic this book was lol. It was so unnecessarily dramatic, but it made it super interesting and bingeable! Now for some of the things that I didn't love! This first thing has nothing to do with the book itself but since I got this on Netgalley for some reason I could only read it on my phone and not on my kindle 😔🙏 so that was SO ANNOYING! But when it comes out in paperback there will be no issue, but it kinda ruined the experience for me since I had to read it on my phone! I also didn’t love how rushed this book felt. It also felt like a middle school crush… I still did really enjoy the book and since it left on a cliff hanger, I’ll def read the next one but it just wasn't of the highest quality iykwim. It's literally just like Twilight in that way lmao. I liked the characters and they were all GORGEOUS and their artwork was amazingggg!!! So overall this book is a 3.2 star rating for me which isn't bad! Also guys I’m so so sorry for this but I gotta put a whole bunch of links to Webtoons socials in this review 💀

Oooo....Myyy.....Sweet......Kittens......
First I would like to thank NetGalley, the Author and Artist and the Publisher for this ARC.
This. Was. PERFECT!
It had me gasping, awing and giggling like a maniac.
I could not put it down and finished it so fast that I did an instant reread.
And that cliffhanger!! I need more!
I am obsessed with this, Cella is so cute and such a kind person, so trusthing and I would hate to see her hurt. I love that she knows Kieran is a vampire and that Kieran tells her nearly everything. Also she is very cool knowing both boys are from rivaling "clans" and the whole "supernatural" thing. She is the bestest friend anyone can wish for.
The tension between Mason and Kieran is SOOOOO palpable, their banter is really funny and I love the "I hate you but I want you soooo bad it hurts".
I'm a big BL fan but I also wouldn’t mind Cella and Maria getting together, Maria is a sweet girl and both she and Cella deserve a happily ever after.
It is sweet to see Kieran care for Mason, especially when you know about his past, his fears and his brother. I can’t wait to see how it progresses!
It was a very refreshing and interesting take on vampires, for they can pick to being in the light or being in the dark. I'm not a big fan of how Kieran is getting pushed to choosing the dark nor am I a fan of his brother. That man gives me Underworld's Viktor/Kraven vibes. And I don't like it.
I like the art style and the storyline and will definitely be following up on the rest of the story. Cuz I need more, like, NOW!!! 😂

3.5 rounded up~
Let's start first with the art. I love this art style so much because it has a good sense of emotion. The backgrounds are super important to comics and while I don't stop reading if the backgrounds are simple or boring, it definitely elevates the reading experience if they can evoke emotion. And with how this story went, it contributed a lot to the emotions and tensions of both our main characters. It showed movement really well and I cannot wait to see more in the next volume!
As for the story, it was a little predictable as I think it is trying to come from a romeo and juliet plot background. We have 2 main characters who are fundamentally enemies of each other. This breeds a lot of tension and creates some interesting conflict. A lot of plot lines were created and actually were interesting enough to make me want to know what happens in the next volume. This is key for these types of books because there needs to be enough to hook the reader and try to make connections and predictions for what comes next. The pacing in the volume/story really works well for that!
I would have given it more stars if it had a little bit more uniqueness. I love these tropes and story lines, so I am familiar with how the story should go, but I still love surprises and something new. I think this story will give me that in the coming volumes, but I just didn't see it in this one. I have high hopes for the rest of the series so I will be tuned in!

When someone says enemies to lovers, I expect knife to throat. There has to be some form of actual hate. If someone doesn’t have the chance to be killed BEFORE any sexy stuff has happened, is it enemies or just rivals? Think about that and come back to me. That being said, THIS is enemies to lovers romance!
Kieran is a vampire and Mason is a werewolf. Their people have had a life or death feud for thousands of years… well as long as anyone can remember. And Kieran was there when his mother was ripped apart (actually, not metaphorically) by a pack of feral werewolves. So to say that he fears and hates them is an understatement. So it’s a good thing that he doesn’t know what Mason is for more than half of this volume. He’s had time to (sort of) get to know him (and hate him for just being a douche).
I think that they’re mates. We don’t have that information where I am as of yet, but it’s feeling very much like that could be the outcome that we’re looking at and I’m VERY okay with it. They both say they’re straight (but they’ve made out twice now) and I’m waiting for the real fun to start. We’re still in the hate phase though. BUT we all know that hate is one step from love, so I can’t wait to see what happens when we get over that hump…. And hump. 😜

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
If you want a queer enemies to lovers Vampire/Werewolf angsty, drama filled story then Love Bites, vol. 1 is for you!
Kieran, vampire, and Mason, werewolf, know that they are mortal enemies and should stay away from each other, but there’s something pulling them together, regardless of what their respective families would say and after an accidental kiss that stokes the already present fascination how will they go about the feelings that are brewing.
The premise of the story feels like what if Shakespeare rewrote Romeo and Juliet today and was like: “Make it gay! Make them monsters! Up the angst! Up the shenanigans!” The illustrations and the colors used were a great fit for the story and the characters felt rounded out for the first volume, even though they are still silly teenagers at the end of the day.
My only complaints of Love Bites, vol. 1 is the way the characters go about the “accidental kiss” and I felt like there could’ve been more world-building and back story for how these monsters fit into modern society. Overall though this was a cool story and if vampire/werewolf BL romance is your thing, definitely give this a shot.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
I originally started reading Love Bites on Webtoon, so I was already familiar with the story when I picked up this ARC of Volume 1 from NetGalley.
If I'm being honest, the plot is pretty basic. You can guess almost every major plot point before it happens, and it leans heavily into "juvenile" tropes that occasionally made me roll my eyes. However, I have to acknowledge that I’m likely not the primary target audience - it’s very much geared toward a younger Teen/YA crowd, and in that context, it works.
The art is what really carries this story. I really like the cover and the interior illustrations are consistently good enough to keep me hooked. In fact, if the art wasn't as polished as it is, I probably would have dropped the story a long time ago. Instead, despite my complaints about it being "kinda mid," I find myself continuing to follow every update. It has that addictive quality where you just want to see how it plays out, even if you know exactly where it's going.
It’s a light, easy read that doesn't necessarily offer anything transcendental or groundbreaking, but it’s entertaining. If you’re looking for a fun, standard supernatural forbidden romance with solid art, this is a great pick. It didn't blow me away, but clearly, it's doing something right since I’m still reading ig

This book is basically a dream come true for anyone who was obsessed with Twilight back in the day. I actually already read most of this on Webtoon, but getting the ARC was the push I needed to finally finish the volume. Now that I’ve hit that cliffhanger, I am officially spiraling and need to go binge the rest of the series immediately.
The tension between Kieran and Mason is so good. Kieran is trying to handle his family and a power he’s not supposed to use, while Mason is this territorial alpha’s son who is honestly kind of a jerk to hide how he feels. Watching them circle each other and try to figure out if they want to fight or catch feelings is the best part.
I also really appreciated that they didn't just gloss over the drama with Cella. She is such a sweetheart and definitely didn't deserve those cheating vibes, so I was glad the story actually addressed it head-on. I’m lowkey rooting for Cella and Maria to end up together.
The art is gorgeous and so expressive. You can feel all the angst and emotion in their faces, and the colors are really pretty. I am completely obsessed and can’t wait to see what happens next. Huge thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read this early.

This was a page turner it was addictive every page glued you into the story the tension had you in your toes wanting to know what happened next this book piqued at your curiosity wanting to know about the characters, and what was happening around them they were that interesting everything flowed so nicely the story didn't drag at all. The romance was just icing on the cake the characters didn't like each other at all, and that made the banter much more interesting, and intriguing to read they plain couldn't stand each other it harbored so much tension this was the kind of enemies to lovers romance I like to read. You get to know about the world the history between the werewolves, and the vampires, and the pact they have it all connects to the story, and to Kieran and Mason relationship. The artwork added to the mood and the atmosphere it gave the story this dark vibe it added a bit of mystery, and suspense to it I really liked it, it left in such a cliffhanger that it made me want to read the next volume. I highly recommend this graphic novel.
Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher for the arc.

Vampires and werewolves have a peace pact. And yet, trouble is stirring.
Kieran Callisto, an emo vampire is faced with choosing between sun or shadow, while also in school. He’s terrified of werewolves after his mom passed away from a werewolf attack.
New guy comes into town, Mason Kane, who is a werewolf. Werewolves are supposed to have stinky blood, but for some reason, Kieran loses control around him. Mason is a pretty boy jock, and he doesn’t get why Kieran is so mean to him.
They are paired up for their theater class, along with Kieran’s best friend Cella. They have tons of classes together, and most are spent bickering. Kieran can’t get away from Mason, and it only gets worse as he starts dating Cella. He hates him, but he’s also … jealous!!
Enemies to lovers between a stubborn vampire and alpha complex werewolf is juuuuust what I needed. Their banter is everything, and I can’t believe it ended on such a cliffhanger!! I need more!!
Cella and Kieran’s friendship is sooo cute I love them.
Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to ARC read in exchange for an honest review!

** Review of ARC provided by NetGalley **
This comic started on Webtoon and is now being published in trade paperback. I'd never heard of this series, but the art reminded me of the art style in "Fence" by CS Pascat - I love that comic so much - so I decided to give this a try. I was not disappointed!
Love Bites is a high school BL comic about a vampire and a werewolf who's the new kid at school. Their species were once at war and now have a treaty, but there are still tensions between them. This book is everything you'd expect, and that's not a bad thing when you want an easy read with recognizable tropes. The emo avoidant vampire with childhood trauma, the sunshine best friend, the popular jock struggling with his inner darkness, a love rectangle (I'm not a fan of those), the process of self-discovery and finding your own identity amidst outside expectations.
I'll knock it points for lack of originality at this point, and the characters could use more development, but it's an ongoing webcomic, so there's a lot of potential for growth. I really enjoyed it and am interested in continuing with the series.
3.5 stars

Thank you NetGalley for this arc for this graphic novel the cover really caught my eye and i enjoyed the story i will say I wanted to see more of the vampire / werewolf development but i def think that will be more in the second volume which i also plan on reading as well this novel is very much giving new guy in town and enemies of each other because of 1 being a werewolf bloodline and one being a vampire bloodline and the tension between both and the history of them and why they shouldn’t be together because they aren’t supposed to get along. We also see him start going on dates with the main characters best friend because our main lead is trying to play hard to get but also finding himself as well which i liked that as well because we saw him finding himself through the novel i also really liked that it was 270 pages and i like when graphic novels are this length because we get to see the story more and i enjoyed the artwork I think the 2nd volume will be really good because of how this one ended!

It’s a gay vampire and werewolf graphic novel. What more could you ask for really?
Mason, the attention-loving, football playing, sun-tanned new kid is the stereotypical werewolf. Kieran is the fair-skinned, leather jacket wearing, solitude seeking vampire. And guess what? They hate each other on first sight.
I think it’s to be expected that this is a little cheesy and predictable. It’s high school vampires and werewolves. It certainly doesn’t take away from its entertainment value. I read it super fast and it kept me engaged the whole time. The art style is clean and I noticed some very smart design choices in how breathable the layout of each page was. I didn’t feel overwhelmed by the fantasy parts of the world as most aspects are relatively close to the usual werewolf/vampire shenanigans. Some extra pieces, while mildly laughable, were easy to grasp.
It’s no Shakespeare but it is a fun palate cleanser.

I don't expect this to be a thorough plot, especially for a first volume, but man, it sure is interesting enough for me to want to read volume 2 right now.
Kieran is a vampire who detests werewolves because they killed his mother. Mason is a new student at his school, who is also a werewolf. They clash, but they also...make eyes at each other? There's more to their relationship than just the age-old violence between vampires and werewolves.
Without a doubt this reads very YA, like one of the novels I grew up reading, but in a comic format. I don't have very high expectations for the story to be incredibly complex, so this is like light reading for me. There are some parts where the pacing is a little eh and could be better, but I let a lot slide when it comes to comics...
If you are/were a fan of the YA paranormal romance genre of the 2010s or so, I think you'd like this.

Who doesn't love a classic vampire x werewolf story? I love anything paranormal, and I love it more when it's queer, so of course I was going to read this. Listen, it is not high quality literature, but it is entertaining and just the kind of thing you need when you want a silly good time. There are some problematic elements but what I really enjoyed is that they get addressed. I specifically had a problem with Mason's behavior, and Kieran calls him out beautifully for it, which was so nice because often in these kinds of stories it gets ignored or glorified. I really love Kieran's friendship with Cella and how he goes to bat for her.
I will be interested to try and read the novel version of the story as well, but I would be happy to continue with the comic as well.

Actual rating 3.5 stars
I am really not sure how I feel about this one. I enjoyed the characters, the lore and the artwork but I am not sure about the dynamic between Kieran and Mason. Are they actually attracted to each other? The whole kiss right before Mason is about to go on a first date with Kieran's best friend? And the whole alpha thing as well. Does humanity know about vampires and werewolves or is that just the BF (who's name I have completely forgotten sorry).
This all being said, it ended so abruptly I am going to need Vol 2 so that I can work out what is happening.
Still one I would recommend but not gush over if that makes sense.

this is a reread for me, but I’m so happy this is another series that’s getting physical copies now. it’s a classic werewolves vs vampires plot, but then we have the two main characters Kieran and Mason at the center of it all.. trying to fight their undeniable attraction to each other. Kieran’s mom was killed by werewolves, so he’s always been taught that they’re his kinds natural enemy.
then when he meets Mason, all that starts to change. the push & pull between them is so good, this volume had a lot more of the story packed into it than i initially thought it would’ve. i love how Mason challenges Kieran, especially since Kieran always has his brother Cedric breathing down his throat about what Kieran’s “responsibilities” should be to his clan. i love this series.
➵ many thanks to NetGalley, the author and WEBTOON Book Group for the arc, all opinions are my own.

I think I would've liked this better as a teen but as I'm a jaded adult, the enjoyment of the graphic novel was a bit less since it's quite cheesy.
It's a vampire and werewolf story with so many tropes - enemies to lovers, trauma/tragic past involving werewolves, emo teen standing at a crossroad, peer pressure/familiar pressure to do the right thing and many more. Tropey cheesy fun! But don't worry, it's still a fun read.
It's quite a good read as the characters were vibrant and the art style was great. You have your broody leather-jacket wearing teen vampire and the athletic, sunny extroverted werewolf. Then there's the tension between them, couple with a tragic past and lots of misunderstandings. The side characters also have great designs and a fun personality to match.
Sadly, vol 1 ends in a cliffhanger and I just know vol 2 is going to be a ride.

Drew me right on in straight out the gate with that vampire x werewolf ... boom you've hooked me. The plot is super duper enticing especially with the wolf and vampire war. Some good, classic webtoon plot that I eat up every time. It left me on a cliff and I need the next edition ASAP please :(
This art style was absolutely so killer. The detail. The vibe. The coloring. The everything. I will forever love this webtoon style. The day I think differently is the day I lose my mind. I also think it just adds to the general story so well, like there's something almost nostalgic about it to me.
A big thank you to Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group for giving me an advanced reader copy and allowing me to read this pre-release!! It was such a privilege to read this story early and I truly appreciate the opportunity to engage with it ahead of its release!!

I really enjoyed Love Bites Vol. 1 by Alicia Wallace. This rivals to lovers fantasy brings together vampires and werewolves as natural enemies and the tension between Kieran and Mason was especially well done. Even in a shorter format both characters felt distinct and the buildup between them worked nicely.
I also appreciated the amount of backstory given to Kieran which made his wariness toward werewolves feel believable rather than forced. His friendship with Cella was another highlight and I liked how clearly he cares about her wellbeing.
Overall this was a quick but engaging read with solid romance drama and fantasy elements and the cliffhanger definitely left me wanting more.

I read this in one sitting, the pacing is really strong, and it pulled me in right away without any slow spots. I’m always a fan of werewolf and vampire conflicts, and this one does the trope really well. It feels familiar, but not in a repetitive way. There’s enough depth and tension to keep it interesting, and the conflict actually feels meaningful.
I really like the main characters. They both felt fully developed, with backgrounds that actually matter and influence how they act. Their motivations made sense, and I found myself understanding both sides, which made the story even more compelling. The art is also really well done.
Overall, I really enjoyed this and I’m definitely looking forward to reading more.
