I was really excited for this book and it honestly ended up being a bit of a let down sadly.
I want to be clear, I still enjoyed the book. I liked the two main characters and I thought they had great chemistry. Some of their interactions were so hot and I loved that. But ultimately, I think this was a little overhyped.
With a vampire and a vampire hunter who hate each other from something in their past, I was expecting more banter and angst between them but I really didn't see any of that which was the most disappointing part about this honestly. I like my enemies to lovers to have really great banter and loads of angst but there was just none of that here. I'm glad it didn't affect the chemistry between the two of them, but I still felt like it was missing.
And then there's the plot of the book. I did not expect it to be a murder mystery kind of story. The whole time they were trying to figure out why vampires were turning human and dying. I thought it was interesting, especially the turning human part since the book portrayed most vampires as humans who were infected and didn't want to be what they are. I sympathized with them in wanting to get back to the life they had before. But ultimately, I think the pacing was off. It really dragged in some parts where I was really bored with it and I zoned out while listening to the audio but when I refocused I realized that I hadn't really missed much. And this happened quite often. I don't know what about it was making me lose focus on the book, I just know that I found it boring all together and that was the second biggest disappointment here.
I'm so sad because sapphic vampire and vampire hunter had so much potential but this really fell flat for me. I'm currently debating if I'll read the next one or not.
