Julian I like. Thea... She is a weirdo ... Like why are you so heartbroken someone doesn't want to eat you?
As a slow burn fan this passionate love after only two days seems fast. The vampire obsession Julian had I get. It's the smell ... But Thea she seems to have fallen so easily. I would like to have seen the shift from finding him a hot vampire to lover to "oh damn he is my mate'" gone one for a little longer.
But let's be honest I too would instantly be in love with Julian.
Also, I have an imaginative imagination and Julian is like one of the hottest male characters I have imagined. I can't wait on the struggle it will be to draw him later

DUDE. Dude. This was so much fun!! All I can say is that if you like grumpy sunshine, mates, vampires, or fake dating this is for you. I don’t have time to say anything else because I already own book two and I need to read it right now!

This book was frustrating for me. The focus on virginity was weird and uncomfy but largely ignorable. My main issue is that it ended with an unhappy cliffhanger. This honestly felt like a cheap trick to make me read the next book. It's working on me, but I don't appreciate it. This is more irritating for me because ending it just about a chapter earlier would give it, if not a happy ending, at least a hopeful one, and the last chapter could have been at the start of book 2. The writing comes off as a bit fanfic-y for me. It feels like it was written in order, coming up with the plot as it goes along, with minimal revisions to the earlier sections, leaving it without any strong throughline.

I’m so upset for Thea. She deserves everything in the world and this dusty crusty MAN can’t give it to her. She’s literally working 2 jobs, going to school AND taking care of her mom who has cancer. That man just waltzed in and ruined everything.
I hate men.
I hate men.
