I really hate myself for not picking up the books from Katie May sooner! The moment I start one of her books it feels impossible to put the book away before I finish. I drown in these books, I forget the world around me and I'm just reading and reading because I wanna know how it ends. I had to fight the urge to pick up the next book in this series right away, but I managed to do so. However, I'm really looking forward to buy and read May's entire backlist.
This book starts where the previous book ended and from there it's a rollercoaster of emotions and action. Quite often in series there are a few books just filling in gaps, moving the characters from A to B, but that's so not the case in this series. There is not one dull moment, there's not one boring chapter, there's not one useless word. And I feel every word, because despite everything May really focusses on the feelings.
It's quite impressive how she describes what's going through these characters, how they're feeling and how they're dealing with all the horrible things life throws at them. But I feel every word and every sentence and I just hold my breath for the entire book. The story is that intense, not just because May touches on some really dark themes, but also because the characters are feeling everything so intensely.
And that's one of the many reasons why I love these characters so much. Because I know how they feel, because I feel everything they feel, it feels like I've grown very close to them, like they've become my best friends or even my lovers. When bad things happen to them, I feel those in my heart and cry along with them. And when good things happen to them I'm simply hoping for more moments like that. I really can't wait to read on and to see what happens next!
ps. The part of the world ruled by the vampires is DISGUSTING!
