Very engaging story

This is a very good story. When I read the intro I thought this would be all dialogue, and all drama, and man was I wrong. This is pure fantasy/romance/world-building/intrigue right from the start. There are very few stories that catch my attention, and even fewer that hold it, and this one does both. As far as I can tell there isn't another book on Inkitt quite like this. Not with this quality of writing and this combination of themes.
I love the characters: Amelia, Nay and Alexander are very real people. They respond to things the way real characters should, which is very refreshing.
The story is written in 3rd person, past tense, which is very underrepresented on Inkitt or any other online writing app, and I love it.
Very good dialogue and very good internal/emotional descriptions, and a very engaging plot (I particularly like the addition of the child and mother- when you combine that with a vampire after Amelia's blood you know from the get-go this will be good).
But here's what I like the most- this author effortlessly builds the world of this story. So many authors tell you about their world. Not here. This author shows you their world, and then lowers you into it, and the transition is so seamless you don't even realize it. Fantastic world building! Great characters, great writing, great plot. :) Looking forward to chapter 6, and, personally... I hope Alexander's killed a thousand humans to get where he is. Won't that make Amelia's mother happy when she finally meets him? :)

Very nice story

What can I say? I like the prologue, and I like chapter one, and two, and next, please. This author has a great vocabulary, and is very good at setting the scene, and I like the writing style. The setting in this story is so captivating- I can feel the atmosphere in this. But here's what I like the best- even though you can tell from the very first chapter who's going to fall in love with who, you can also see all kinds of problems just waiting to happen. And I love problems in a story. :) Good job, author.

Nice poems

So I love poetry and read lots of it. Your poetry is simple and straight forward, which is not an insult in the least. A lot of poets try to bend language or throw lots of unnecessary filler words or stretch words to rhyme. You don’t do that, which is appreciated. On top of that your poetry is calm and uplifting. Good job. Honestly this reminds me of Hallmark cards, which I mean as a compliment. Keep up the writing.

Great Book!

Good spy story. There are very few spy/agent/detective stories with a female lead character, and it's refreshing. Nearly every sentence, and every paragraph, adds tension to the story, and it's very hard to read this book and not fall in love with Vanessa. She has all the strength and all the skills she needs at her fingertips, and a big mouth to back it up; she's an enhanced human when it comes to action, but a real human when it comes to her worries, and fears, which makes her character very relatable. The writing is crisp and sharp, and there are next to no grammar mistakes. Great job writer!

Well-paced and thoughtful

Ok, so right off the bat, I love the pacing and the imagery of this story. So many stories these days throw action at you, and all the love and drama and sex happens in the first three chapters. Not this book. This one takes its time, and it's beautiful. I truly love the way this author pulls back and takes time to actually see the world, and the light, and the flavor of simple things. On top of that, I also love the plot and the way the author moves this forward.
My only point of criticism (and this reflects more on me than the author or the book) is that I don't understand the names for some things. For instance, I have no idea what an "almirah" is.
One of my favorite lines in this story: I have always known that things end. Everything. Every little single thing in this universe has an end... and then the words after that, not to spoil the plot- sooo good.
Author, it seems to me that english might not be your first language. And I have to say, if it isn't, then be proud of your writing, because this is good. Reminds me of a Makoto Shinkai anime. There are a few grammar mistakes that are easily fixed and overlooked, and a few items that American readers will be unfamiliar with, but regardless- great story, great pacing, great plot, great attention to the small details. Keep it up.

Interesting and well-written

Very good, engaging plot, and the author loves finishing each chapter on a cliff hanger.

I want to point out I’m not sure this is the genre for me. I don’t know much about Lunas and packs and such, however, even without knowing the terminology, I laughed at the first paragraph, and was invested in the MC within the first few paragraphs. Well done, author. Keep it up. Anytime I finish a chapter trying to guess what’s going to happen next chapter- yep, that’s a good thing. Good job!
