I received an ALC (advanced listener copy) of this audiobook from Netgalley.

I am a huge fan of Vampires in general so I was excited to give this book a chance and I will say I really enjoyed it. Some of the world building was lacking but the character development makes up for it in a big way.

I truly felt the friendship and deep connection between Ava and Kaye.
Friends who are both witches then Ava vanishes only she is held captive for 2 years and when she escapes she runs to the forest to the Vampire Queen only in doing so she comes across Kaye who is very much her enemy now because Kaye believes Ava is a blood sucking vampire that killed her mother.

I love the fact that Ava thought she has been through it, and keeps a level head. She doesn’t want to be evil or hurt anyone. So she is just herself and in being herself Kaye kind of comes around to seeing that Ava is still the Ava she knew just different.

Their connection gets stronger as the book progresses and it’s a sweet journey. The book is pretty fast paced and I enjoyed that, we don’t have to wait long to get answers or for the action to happen.

I would completely recommend this book if you like witches or vampires. It's an interesting take on the Rapunzel retelling as well.

I found the narration to be pretty great, they both gave emotion and depth to their characters. It was easy to get lost in this world.
