From Goodreads: In an attempt to find some closure on the anniversary of the worst night of her life, Mackenzie sets out to retrace her sister's final day. One wrong step opens a door to the truth. Not only about what happened to Evie, but about what else lurks in the shadows, forcing her to redefine the line between truth and myth. Vampires are real. They're hungry. And they're only the beginning. But Mackenzie is learning from those who have been in this fight far longer than she has. Soon, the night will learn to fear her. | ||

Originally posted at A Reading Brit This is a fun book, with a good plot, but with characters that are a tad forgettable. I enjoyed the magical world that was built here, and the description of the house made it sound like somewhere I'd really like to check out. It sounds like a magical place, in more ways than one. The ways it's decribed reminds me of the doors in Doctor Strange, which is cool. The one character that stood out to me, and I still can say that I definitely remember after closing the book about an hour ago, is Serra. Her intuition makes for an interesting plot device, I just really hope it's not used as a way to write the author out of a tough spot in the future. Her intuition could get really convenient in some situations, although I guess that's how it's supposed to work. I'll admit, I've read a crap-ton of books involving vampires, and seen a number of reviews comparing a novel to Buffy, but it's not a TV show I've ever seen. The author herself brings up Buffy, so I do wonder about the comparison, and this might actually make me finally take a look at it. From a reader's point of view, I enjoyed this superficially. It was another of those light, fun reads, but not one I could say I'd dedicate time thinking about much. One thing I will mention, Uncle Ian in chapter 1 changed to Uncle Hugh in chapter 3 and stayed like that. There's also a typo in around the third or fourth sentence. I stopped keeping track after that to enjoy the story, but hopefully another round or two of edits before publication? Would I read it again? No, I don't feel like it's got re-readability value. Perhaps before book 2, I'd skim through it and read through this review to remind myself of it, but not dedicate another few hours to a reread. Will I be picking up the next in the series? I guess I answered this above, yes, I probably will. The plot and world redeemed the slightly less-memorable characters. Would I recommend it? If you're interested in this sort of novel, then go for it. Is it going on my Favourites shelf? No. I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. | ||
