Review:
I waited so long to get my hands on this one, and it was absolutely worth every second. V.E. Schwab delivers another hauntingly beautiful story, this time with two darkly compelling vampire POVs. I’m not always a fan of dual perspectives, but Schwab makes it seamless. Each vampire’s journey was distinct, eerie, and full of depth, and watching their stories twist together was nothing short of mesmerizing. This book sank its teeth into me and didn’t let go.
Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.
