So edgy. So dark. So much sex that I ended up skipping chunks of it to get back to the plot.

I think I'm gonna hate-read book 3. Two major plot points are STILL unresolved, and Kristoff keeps dangling new threads in front of our faces.
I want to know how Big Daddy Voss was killed, and I want to know how they finally end the reign of the vampires, ffs.


The series feels like a game of the White Wolf system said, "ya know, I'm gonna make several novels out of this." It reads like a cross between Vampire: the Masquerade, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and a soupçon of I Am Legend.

Heartbreak after heartbreak. A seemingly common pattern for Kristoff.
