I appreciate that it has the typical misunderstandings that accompany lots of romance, but there's no dishonesty between the protagonists and they seem like they might actually be people who could be together (though they have actually only known each other for three days)." - Aaryn Show less

I'm a huge fan of philosophical sci-fi and I love how Ann Leckie explores a lot of the fundamental concepts of the genre - all wrapped up in a plot that is one part legal thriller, one part coming-of-age detective noir, and one part grotesque body horror. Five stars all around." - Hope Show less

The main character is written really well and it was easy for me to become invested. I also enjoyed how Matheson put his own spin on classic vampire literature and folklore. I thought that he did a fantastic job of taking tropes that most readers are familiar with and adding his own spin to them." - Matt L Show less
