I love this series, straight up. It was exactly what I was looking for in a vampire book! First, let me explain, I love vampire stories but I’ve been trying to find a very specific type of main character that has been very hard to find. That main character is one where they’re a good vampire in a world where vampires are mainly bad guys but instead of being moody and self-hating they actually enjoy being a vampire and they’re also not a murdering psycho. So yeah, that’s a very specific type of character which is why it’s been so hard to find until this series. Dylan is amazing, he’s everything I could want in a vamp mc. He’s funny, nice, kind of nerdy, and he’s not at all moody! Sure a moody vampire is fun to read occasionally but sometimes you just want someone who actually likes their life. Another thing I really like that the authors did with Dylan is that they made sure to make him act younger/slightly immature. This is a really good thing because it makes it clear that in his mind he’s still a young person which helps the relationship between him and Megan mostly avoid the problems that come with the awkward age gap that a lot of vamp/human couples have in other books. By that I mean when you “take” yourself out of the story and then analyze the couple it feels like a normal relationship between two young people and not a creepy old man and younger girl situation.
Another thing that I surprisingly enjoyed was the flashbacks in the first and second books. Especially since they made it seem like Dylan himself was reliving his past with the readers and we weren’t just being told that this is what happened. It just made for a really immersive story. I really loved everything and everyone in this story but if you forced me to say one thing that wasn’t perfect I guess I would say that sometimes the passage of time didn’t seem to fit. Like there were times when I got a little confused about how could all of this happen in one night, but that’s the only thing I can think of.
So, as you might have been able to guess I’m giving this series a 10 out of 10 and I can’t wait for the next book to come out next month!
