A perfect slow burn, enemies to lovers romantasy
This dark Beauty and the Beast inspired story has such a unique Dracula twist to it. I love the back and forth pull between Dracke and Mina. It's a fantastic enemies to lovers story but it's not rush. The author takes her time bringing the two together. It's wonderful! The book has many nods to Beauty and the Beast with a more surprising twist at the end that I did not expect when first reading this story. If you're looking for a fantasy romance, then this story is for you!

A Splendid Retelling With A Beautiful Love Story
I saw this on TikTok, and it sparked my interest. I wasn't sure what to expect going in. The author has crafted a masterpiece, with fairytales, fantasy, romance, and angst. My heart ached for the characters. It was a roller-coaster of emotions, and I cried during this book. And what an original idea, to take Beauty & the Beast, mix it with Dracula, and create this beautiful, unique symphony. A must read for sure!

I loved the way Beauty and the Beast was retold only with more paranormal backing. I thought this was masterfully written.
