More wine. Just fyi last chapter was quite important cos she gave blood to a bunch of scientist vampires (for some reason all the vimpires' names start with M. Makes it easy to differentiate clearly)
I'm not fully hating cos I want to keep reading. I just wish the writing was better and the romance wasn't such a given. Hopefully the actual story becomes more of a focus soon cos that is the interesting part.

IM NOT DONE WITH MY RANT! YOU MADE ME READ 8 PAGES ABOUT WINE TASTING LIKE VIOLETS (we all know it doesn't. No one drinks wine cos of the violets. We all drink wine cos it makes us look smart and it makes us funny in the head. You cannot fool me Deborah)THE OUTCOME OF THIS CONVERSATION IS OUR MAIN CHARACTER THAT IS MAYBE THE STRONGEST WITCH EVER AND THE SMARTEST PERSON IS ACTUALLY KINDA DUMB dont fuck with me Deborah

WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?? I couldn't help but suspend my disbelief. She's a thirty something year old, acting like the dumbest person ever. No context would make me forget that I am discussing wine with a VAMPIRE that can rip my throat any second. Why tf would you ask 'what do you think i would taste like?'?? LADY (re author) YOU COULD NOT THINK SO LITTLE OF YOUR MAIN CHARACTER WHO IS A HISTORIAN AND MEANT TO BE SMART

IN THE FRENCH MANNER??? Also stop calling her apartment the rooms I hate it almost as much as I hate the over explanations. I couldn't care less about what she was choosing to wear for this stupid date and what she has in her warderobe.



I'm here for the plot, the magic and the library. I want to know what Ashmole 782 has in it and I want to know why the magical thing about daemons is 'they're really creative.'

The author going in excruciating detail of mundane routines that bring nothing to the story can be so painful at times. But I'm not here for fabulous writing, I am here for some witchy vampire plot. Still, you can cut this book in half without useless descriptions. Oh also - the in depth mirror description of our main character, and so so much eyes and eyebrows from our love interest, GIRLL
