I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this story as much as I did. The plot itself felt like a mix of The Hunger Games and Throne of Glass. Yet it had its own originality. To be a little girl saved by the vampire King and to be protected by him, for the first 22 years of her life was amazing.

Oraya & Raihn. 🖤

From the first time that she saw him, I knew that he was going to make her life a challenge. I love the banter between the both of them and the growing of their relationship throughout t ...more

I LOVED this book. I don’t even know what to say other than that, and that it’s absolutely one of my favorite reads of 2024. Surprising, because I’m not the biggest games and trials girl, so that says a lot about how incredible this book is.

Our FMC is impeccable in her struggles and growth, and the author does so well taking us on that journey. Our MMC is a green flag with an edge and I. Am. Here. For it.

Here is the deal, I started reading this in-between having read ACOMAF, while waiting for Amazon to ship me ACOWAR. I think that was the wrong thing to do.

I know it’s vampires but you also have a place called ‘the house of night’ and a similar fantasy vibe to the other series. They even say ‘thank the gods’ just like Pythian dialog does.

This book HAS potential for sure, yet I found m ...more

The Serpent and the Wings of Night was like if the Hunger games and A Court of Thorns and Roses had a vampire baby, and I loved it. It was fast paced, emotional, romantic, thrilling, and a glimpse into some neat world building. Since this book mostly focused on a competition in an arena, it only hints at the world and politics going on around it, but I am eager to continue the series and see more unfold.
