“Because if he could see her, see the truest and most private parts of her, and love her still, then that love was something worth facing a thousand monsters for.”
 
If you’re looking for an enemies-to-lovers story between a vampire and a vampire hunter, look no 
further—this book is for you! 
 
The plot was well-paced and well-written; I was hooked right from the start until the end following Carolina and Lalo tackled the vampire issue. 
The characters are loveable and I especially enjoyed the funny teasing between the siblings, which really enlivened the story! 
 
Carolina is a badass character whom I admire and love. She’s a fierce fighter and lover, often quite reckless and prideful, and finally she meets her match in Lalo—the sweetest and sometimes awkward guy who always riles her up but also becomes one of the few people who can comfort, understand and support her. 
 
I loved the chemistry between the two of them. It was delightful to see their banter and slight flirting! 
I was rooting for them the entire time and curious to see how or whether they would get their happy ending while saving mankind from vampires. 
 
Overall, this was a very enjoyable and entertaining YA vampire romance that comes with a satisfying ending! 
I’m definitely keeping an eye out for more books by this author in the future! 
 
Thank you to Hear Our Voices Tour, Netgalley, author and publisher for giving me an e-ARC of the book and for having me on this book tour. I’m leaving this review voluntarily!
