I expected this to be a fun read, but I found the story underwhelming.

The characters are quite bland and don't have much personality or chemistry between them. Cassie feels like a person who can't even help herself, let alone someone else. I didn't find her 'I'm-not-like-other-artists' appealing at all. Frederick being a vampire doesn't bring much to the story.

Cassie instantly falls for Frederick, just because he is so handsome and she can't stop drooling over him. He is not impressed the first time they meet, but then he sees her in a towel and, suddenly, he is smitten with everything she does. That's it for the relationship development.

The last 20% ruined the story for me. The whole plot line at the end of the book is just ridiculous.

The writing is ok. I liked the notes they were exchanging, especially Frederick's. But there is lack of consistency and many things remain surface level. Also, Cassie's constant inner monologues disrupted the natural flow of the conversation.

Kati *☆・゚ bahahaha, I found that a total interesting premise when I saw this the other day, but better to stay away from it. 😂 sorry for the bust, Snjez.

Yeah, I found the premise interesting, too. But, like so many books, it started out well and then it just went downhill. 🤷‍♀️ Thanks, Kati! 🧡

Drache.... (Angelika) Wow Snjez, this must have been hard to finish! Love your analysis of the relationship development, though, haha. Better luck for your next read! <3

Thank you, Angelika! 🧡 I had to push myself through that last part, it was so bad. If not for that, this could have been between 2-3 stars for me.

Some readers loved it. Maybe you'd enjoy it more than I did. 🙂 Thank you, elena! 💕


Cat the bookworm (semi hiatus ish) The beginning you wrote about already feels like a major letdown, but then you said it’s the last 20% that actually ruined it? Sounds terrible 😂 I’m not sure I would have made it though…

Honestly, I would have been fine with most of the things mentioned here. Fine enough for 2 or maybe 3 even stars. 😉 But that last part ... ugh!

Thank you, Andi! 💕 I agree with you. Also a great ending can make the rest of story better, but that's very rare. 😉

Meags No, no, no! Don’t tell me this, Snjez! I just borrowed this from my library and was looking forward to it. Seeing your reaction certainly puts a dampener on things 😂 Better luck next time, friend. ❤️

Sorry it didn't work for you, but I agree! It wasn't a fun read for me, either. 😬


Katherine súper same. it had so much potential with vampires and their society but they didn’t even delve into that. i also hated cassie and laughed when frederick said she’s “extraordinary” like no she’s definitely ordinary 😂

I agree with everything you said, Katherine! Frederick being a vampire felt like false advertising and don't let me start on Cassie. 😅
