NOTE: Thanks to Netgalley for the eARC!!
Getting access to read Francesca Flores' new book had me overjoyed. Ever since Diamond City, I have been waiting for whatever else this author has for us and she's written a sapphic Rapunzel love story where not only:
Rapunzel saves herself or more like, escapes but...
The love interest is her former best friend...
AAAAAND the tension between the two drove me crazy!!
Now, here we go.
Short Summary: The Rapunzel we know is a witch turned into a vampire who escapes her tower to end up in a journey with her former best friend who is a vampire hunter and perhaps the only person who can either kill her-- or save her from the dangerous forest that may give them the answers to the magic running in their blood.
Long Summary: Ava is tired of her life in the tower. Tired of her stepfather who mocks her at every turn. Tired of her over-protective mother who locks her in with no chance to escape, but when she overhears her mother's evil plans to wreak havoc across the land she knows, she escapes into the forest in search of the Vampire Queen.
Until she bumps into Kaye.
Kaye, Ava's former best friend. Kaye, a witch vampire hunter who seeks vengeance after her mother's death and to be the best vampire hunter. But as much as Kaye seeks to kill Ava for being the suspect of her mother's death, she also can't shake their past. And to not be eaten by other vampires, she must journey into the same forest with Ava to reach Casiopeia, where Kaye will end Ava once and for all.
But only if they both don't address the blossoming feelings between the two. Or if the forest won't threaten to kill them first.
My favorite character by far was Kaye and the storytelling did capture my interest as her work always does! Tristan annoyed me throughout the book and while Ava captures the perfect amount of naivete, she also stands out with her own edge and has a great amount of inner turmoil to deal with *chuckles in a corner*
ANYWAYS GO PREORDER IT NOW!!
Overall: 5/5 stars
