This had one of the most interesting world buildings that I’ve read in a while. Accompanied by a lot of action, trials, twists, political system where savage vampires rule, intense slow burn between a grumpy human and a sunshine vampire, and finally -my favorite- a freakin complex father/daughter relationship.

“I can’t take credit for everything that you’ve become, Oraya. Even if sometimes I wish I could. But if I’m responsible for just one small piece of that, it will have been the greatest accomplishment of my life.��

I loved the romance, but Vincent and Oraya’s relationship is what kept me more interested. I loved their dynamic and not knowing what to feel. The way he took that little human and took care of her and raised her to be a savage fighter? The way he showed his love and care in his own way? The way he called her little serpent?? He took tough love to a whole other level. Vincent got me so interested that I would love to read a book about him, because the conflict in his character??

“Death isn’t frightening when weighted against an insignificant existence.��

I really liked the main characters as well. Even though Oraya might seem like a typical main character who discovered her powers later on. I loved the inner conflict she went through between having a human body and a vampire heart. She hated being human but despised savage vampires. I loved her paranoia and how she was so distrustful!!

“Are you going to kill me, Oraya?��
“Not tonight.��
“You might destroy me anyway.��

I loved the slow burn. How Raihn slipped through her defenses and how well they worked together. I loved his persistence. He was just a sweet boy in comparison to all those ruthless vampires.

The ending of this book was awful that I’m still in denial. I honestly don’t think it’s real and I’m gonna jump into the second book to see how it’s gonna turn out, because that didn’t just happen!! I didn’t have enough to end it like that!! I’m not a forgiving person so I’m not sure how I’m gonna survive the second book because right now I feel rage and sadness.
