Mon avis en FrançaisMy English review I was curious to discover this new urban fantasy series! Besides, I really like Annabel Chase’s novels so how could I resist?London lives in a world very different from the one we know. The sun disappeared a long time ago and vampires have taken over the cities. It’s in this setting that London lives as a knight in the city’s lesser known order, helping people when they need it and especially when they pay. But then someone offers her a new job and that some...
DNF I got so close to the end and then I just gave up. There were too many character, many who I didn’t care for at all. So much talking about things I didn’t care at all about. Metals and history and so on. It was just too much and it added nothing to the story. I hated being told things. Bombarded with information that just isn’t interesting at all. So much visiting places and talking to randoms. Too many people she works with with non of them being interesting or adding to the story. I think
AwesomeI loved this first in series. I'm immediately diving into the next one. Brilliant! Can't wait to read more of this tale!!
3.5I liked this kind of post-apocalyptic London teeming with magic, monsters, and some what controlled chaos...but the romance wasn't really my jam.So background--> The world has entered a time of endless night caused by the eruption of volcanoes, and in the aftermath some countries have even ceased to exist.

A little slow at the beginning but gets intriguing around the middle. Definitely a good read.
Cute and gives me Night Huntress vibes but with less character development and plot continuity. London and Callan had some entertaining banter like Cat and Bones which was fun, but the author really needs to flesh out Callan a lot more. We barely know anything about him except his short info-dump backstory that was delivered similarly to how an author would give historical facts about an old building. The author should also give us a sense of Callan's emotions - through facial expressions, diffe...
On paper, this book has everything I like. It's got a skilled, badass heroine, a vampire romance interest, cool magic, an interesting setup...But I just didn't like it.I found myself wishing paragraphs were rewritten to up the romance or up other conflict. When I rewrote them in my head, the book was a lot better. Many things felt rushed or not explained enough, and just not described vividly, the way I wanted them to be.The ending was also not satisfying -- it didn't seem driven to me by the he...
