I honestly don't understand all the hype around this book. I pushed through what felt like a Twilight reimagining, and probably won't be reading the rest of the series. ( )

This was definitely different from what I’ve read before. I was very interested to find that the paranormal aspects were kept under wraps for so long. I may or may not continue the series.

2,5 better than Twilight stars

I can't help but compare the two a bit because even the book admits in a certain scene to its inspiration. As a whole, it isn't all that similar though.

We have an innocent girl that gets entangled with vampires and werewolves, although in this case, the whole school is full of monsters and we add dragons and witches to the mix.

We have the dangerous vampire love interest. He does tell the MC he is dangerous and she shouldn't be with him.... but it's not obnoxiously mentioned over and over. Honestly, in general, Jaxon is a pretty good boyfriend material compared to Edward. There is no stalking, for one thing. And he manages to have quite wholesome moments with our MC, Grace.

The vampires don't sparkle!

Despite the silliness and clichés just raining, I couldn't help but continue listening. I might even pick up the next book because the ending was quite intriguing. ( )

I thought this was a great story and book. However, I feel that it started kind of slow and really didn't get into in until halfway through. I do recommend this book though. I'm going to read the next book and plan to finish the series. ( )

Giving "Legacies" vibes.

Definitely a Twilight-esque type book and I've loving it.
While the writing is world class, it's fun, it's easy, and I'm intrigued by all the characters. Looking forward to the rest of this series. ( )
