Synopsis:
Nicola is a beautiful, brooding vampire for nearly two centuries when she meets the charismatic Amber. When Nicola offers Amber eternity together where the nightlife will taken center stage, she takes her up on the offer, but things are not always what they seem.
Nearly fifty years later, Amber wants to be on her own, away from Nicola’s controlling ways. But is isn’t so easy to break up a friendship, especially when she knows that others who have tried have ended up dead.
Thoughts:
Nothing like a codependent toxic female relationship to get your juices going, oh and don’t forget that they’re vampires. This book had some fun and interesting aspects. I enjoyed the dual point of view, but at times I got lost in the past and present timelines. I felt that it sort of threw the pacing off and I just couldn’t hit my stride and it was a little unsettling. To add to it, the writing style was short and choppy. However, the story was still fun, and I enjoyed learning about Nicola and Amber. The cast of side characters helped add to the drama and make this an enjoyable read. I did find it interesting that Nicola and Amber loved clubbing so much that they wanted to do it forever. I am still racking my brain for something I enjoy so much that I would want to do it forever, and the only thing I can settle on is reading. So that has to count for something.
