Okay to give some context: I have not read the Serpant & Dove trilogy beforehand because I didnt know you had to read it beforehand because it takes place before the scarlet veil. With that being said I had a really hard time diving into the world, the characters and the vocabulary. It was only until the second Part of the Book where I really got invested. The vocabulary is quite advanced and I did have to look up some adjectives or verbs and french terms which was quite cool! All in all, it didnt feel like 600 Pages and I had a great time once I got into it! I love how Celieè's lovestory isnt rushed and how she has to overcome some difficulties. NOW LETS TALK ABOUT THE EPILOGUE: WHAT WAS THAT I am so excited for Book 2😍

I wanna say I love a good 'only one coffin' book, but I think this is the first 'only one coffin' book I ever read. So there's points for creativity. And I have to preface that I have only glimpsed at the original trilogy of Serpent and Dove. Thus I was not pre-involved with the characters or the world. That said, I still enjoyed the book very much.

The FMC has a fantastic character development throughout the story, and I find her fully developed and highly interesting. The blonde, tall and brooding one though is a mixed bag. I found him cringe at the start, rather interesting in the middle, and weird at the end. And way less sexy than he should be. Gladly though the story does not depend on the romance (if you wanna call it that) The vampire world is really cool and just the right amount of dark. I think all in all I'm hooked enough to stay in this world a bit longer. The audiobook is really great for this, making this long story fly by and giving the right vibes. 4/5 stars Thank you @netgalley and @harpercollins for the eARC! #TheScarletVeil #SerpentAndDove #Netgalley #Bookstagram
