I couldn't do it, Isolde is A Awful character! What a Wonderful princess She Bloody is! Uses people "just for fun", then calls the poor man "needy" when he shows concern for her. Doesn't want to get married, "Because she Don't need no Man" Blech.. This woman keeps Saying she's going to be queen one day, and all I can see is a Whiny Brat who uses and Abuses her on people for No reason. She Isn't likable At All, already shows that she's incredibly judgemental over Everyone and Everything! Why can’t we For once in a book have a Princess character who Actually has a chance at being a Good queen without abusing her power and being "feisty", I Just Want A Female Character who is Smart!! And I Also just want to mention That's Just In Two Chapters,  Ughh!!

I initially gave up on the book at 44%, but came back to this almost by accident. The plot and characterization was a bit tripe. The twist at the end was sooo predictable. This book is not for everyone. It was basically a campy, Hallmarky, vampire romance.

Content: violence, smutty sex scenes, mentions of gore

Original post: DNF 44%

The worldbuilding had potential, but the writing was kind of meh. I struggled to see any chemistry between Isolde and Adrian.

Ik vond dit boek veel beter dan ik had verwacht! Het boek is spicy, maar ik vond dit goed in het verhaal passen. Adrian is ook echt geweldig. Hij is duister en mysterieus. Hij heeft vreemde acties, maar zijn beweegredenen zijn op het einde logisch en helder. Ik vond dat het verhaal een goed verhaallijn had en dat de spice daar helemaal geen afbreuk op deed. Ook vond ik het plot slim bedacht. Ik zelf had halverwege de puzzelstukjes al bij elkaar gevonden, maar ik wou perse doorlezen om te zien of ik gelijk had. Het boek staat vol mooie quotes en uitspraken. Het eindigt een beetje op een cliffhanger, dus ik ga zeker de andere delen lezen als deze vertaald zijn! Ik heb de prachtige limited edition mogen ontvangen van zomer&keuning en ik kan je vertellen dat deze zo ontzettend mooi is. De schrijfstijl van deze auteur is in dit boek wederom erg prettig. Het boek leest snel weg en ik vind dat het heel beeldend geschreven is. Ik voel echt alle emoties die door het boek worden beschreven, alsof ik het zelf meemaakt. Ik vond het echt een perfect boek en het had zeker een 5 ster kunnen zijn als het woord "neuken" niet zovaak voor zou komen. Het woord "neuken" klinkt zo bot en grof. Ik had het veel fijner gevonden als er een andere benaming gebruikt werkt. Ik stoor me bijvoorbeeld veel minder aan het woord "seks", omdat dit veel minder grof klinkt. Ook stonden er wat spelfouten in. Ik heb ondanks deze kleine punten wel enorm genoten van het boek.

The main reason I couldn't finish this is the narrator. Omg. That irritating, breathy voice just grated on my nerves. Add to that a self involved, sex obsessed MC and... just so much ick.

I don’t have any intellectual thoughts to include with this five stars. I just really enjoyed my time with this one. I had been stuck in a car for several hours on a road trip and I’d say my time was well spent :) Definitely going to pick up the second book from my library, I need to know what happens next❤️❤️❤️

I have complicated feelings. Did I enjoy this? Yes. Was I annoyed by every single character in this book? YES!! I am so torn. 
Does Isolde have any self-control? If you know you know.
