Summary
Rhysa has been living her life as a normal human, working in a bookstore and going to college, when one day she meets Gigi, a normal but sophisticated girl in appearance, and everything changes.
A revelation that changes her life. A battle she doesn't want to be part of. A vampire who makes her breath catch.

Plot/Writing
Fast paced and with a plot that leaves you wanting more. I have nothing to criticize here.
⤏
Worldbuilding
I wasn't exaggerating when I said this book has great worldbuilding.
It's such an interesting and new take on vampires. The magic, the houses, the powers, the history, everything is explained so well you can't get lost in the details, you just want to know more. I loved this aspect of the book, it's so masterly made.

Characters
∘ Rhysa
I really liked her character. She knows what she wants, although it is difficult for her to accept what she is and how this is going to change her life, she's not foolishly denying it, or the help the others are offering.
She's a strong character, independent and capable of making her own decisions, keeping her wits to herself in different situations.
∘ Dray
Dray is a perfect example of powerful but grumpy male with a soft side. Giving me the "touch her and you die" vibes, he's possessive of her, but also respectful and caring.
I can't help but respect this man.
∘ Gigi
Gigi is the friend who really deserves the title "best friend". She's funny, she cares and she doesn't hesitate to help people in need. She supports Rhysa from the beginning and constantly offers to help when her friend's in need.
⤏
Romance
The romance was a little on the insta-love side, but giving the fact they're mates, it didn't bother me as much as this trope usually does. Theirs so much sexual tension between these two, you could cut it with a knife, really. The hot scenes were intense, especially with the feeding going on.

Conclusion
If you want to discover a new take on the vampires, a romance story with a little (more) spice and characters that makes you want to kill for them, give this one a go. I don't regret doing it ✨
