I loved Kagawa's Iron fey series and ever since I heard about her writing a book with a dystopian world ruled by vampires, I was intrigued. Vampires are my favorite creatures and I love to read new interpretations and characteristics that writers come up with. In this case, the end result was a little frightening and unique and intere...

While unlike most people I wasnt dissapointed how it ended some things were still confusing and it would be better if they were explained more. It is hard to say goodbye to a series you worsh...
