Book Review:
Pre-reading Thoughts:
I am actually pretty excited for this book. I originally thought it was like time travel or something but obviously its not. But nonetheless, I am pretty excited for this book. I can't wait to see what journey it takes me on. I would also like to see what a Vampire Witch is considering that in a majority of the mythologies/ theories, they are considered opposite. Please note that I have received this book in exchange for an honest review and a blog post. Xpresso Book Tours have supplied me with an e-copy of this book. In no way has receiving this book affected my opinion on the book. All thoughts are my own.
Writing Thoughts:
The writing in this book is actually pretty good. There is a definite flow to the words. It was absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed the writing. It wasn't like there was a lot of descriptions but it was just so enjoyable. I really liked it.
The story is set in two different timelines and what I loved about this is that it was so obvious. There was clear distinction between the two characters that we are following both in the format of the book and just the different personalties that shown through the writing.

Plot Thoughts:
There was constant action in this book. The tension just kept growing as we switched between both chapters. This constant tension definitely adds a lot to the story, it just makes the story really incredible.
I also loved how the two stories ended syncing up. It was just like a puzzle that you put together. it is pretty fantastic! I really love this story concept! It is definitely something that you should read!

Final Thoughts:
I have been loving a lot of books layer and I think that it is mainly because my current life is pretty boring lately. This was a book that provided the best escapism. I absolutely enjoyed this book! I cannot wait to see what this author has to over us in the rest of the series. I cannot wait for the next book!
