Review:
The truth is that I'm not a big reader of vampire books. This is just my third series about it. The author generously offered a copy of the book in exchange of my honest review. I've read the blurb and it's quite interesting and I was intrigued so I gladly took it. So here goes.
The book started nicely but I would've liked it much better if I have the visualization of what Sofia looks like and more details on what her life looks like before she was captured.
I had a hard time getting into Sofia's character. I can understand her situation but it seems she lacks personality. Maybe because she wasn't introduced in a way that you can easily remember and relate to. But as the story went on, I eventually understood her better.
Her love interest and the Prince of the Shade is Derek. I was instantly captured by his persona. Even without his good physical features, I like how he's so much like human. He knows how to care and although hes somewhat used to getting what he wants, because of Sofia, he became more understanding.
What I noticed about vampire books is that there will always be wolves involved or something. It's good that in this case, it has a unique plot and characters. I liked how the author described a different world of vampires.
All in all, it was a good read! Refreshing and I wished it was longer!
