I have been enjoying reading whatever Holly Black books I can get a hold of. This one is unique and I enjoy the vampire tale. There’s lots of familiar elements of vampire lore mixed with interesting characters and a dark but engaging storyline. Tana’s story arc is so immersive and well written - I could see her making bad choices and fully understood what she was doing and supported her. Aidan is a great character. Fully likeable but also Tana’s ex-boyfriend so I didn’t want to root for him. I can’t decide if I like that it was a stand alone, or want a bunch more details on things and to read about these characters in more books

Amazing! First time I listened to an audiobook and I really didn't think I would like it. And in truth I wasn't thrilled with the reader. But the story was epic, characters well developed, and completely riveting ending. Holly Black has outdone herself!
