This is the first book of Richelle Mead that I read, which I did not like. 
 OK maybe I haven't read anything else from her other than Vampire Academy Collection or Bloodlines / The Golden Lily / The Indigo Spell / The Fiery Heart / Silver Shadows but still. 
 This book was nothing like them. Actually it was boring. 
 The story wasn't captivating, the characters were flat and I didn't care about anything that happened to them or the story in general. 
 Truthfully if I haven't listened to the audiobook but read it instead, I would DNF it after a few chapters. 
 Well... Off to waiting for the 10th year anniversary of Vampire Academy to come out.
