This was a pretty good book. The romance was well written in this book but the pacing was a little dragged out in some areas.

This was an interesting read. In the beginning, I was very confused as to what was happening because the story accelerated quickly. For myself personally, I wasnt really invested into what was happening until about 50% into the book. Closer to the end, I felt there was more story and less descriptions, which made it a little easier to read.

I'm glad to be able to branch out and read different authors. I appreciate Chele Cooke and NetGalley for allowing me to read this book.

From Death to Dawn was a pretty fun read! Ivy’s story about suddenly getting thrown into this whole magical world with vampires and necromancers kept me interested. I liked the mix of mystery and magic, and the idea of her being the first human familiar in forever was cool.

That said, some parts dragged a little, and a few twists didn’t hit as hard as I wanted. The romance with the vampire was definitely a highlight, but I wish they had gone a bit deeper with it. Overall, it’s a solid urban fantasy with a strong main character, and I’m curious to see what happens next.

I really enjoyed this book! The fantasy elements were very good, and I’m excited to read more from this author!!!

I found this book to be well written, the characters were good and the story line was good too. I do wish it was longer I was engrossed and just wanted to keep reading. I’m a sucker for a vampire 😂

Overall Thoughts:
This book’s vibe is twilight meets London, with a cool concept of a familiar being bound to a vampire rather than a witch. There is even a scene where FMC drops something that is caught by the MMC who is a vampire, reminiscent of another book I know.

A note on the prologue: conflicting language left me slightly confused as to whether it was day/night or whether her friends were there/not there (e.g., perhaps a memory due to using italics). The attempt was for suspense, but instead it just kind of made me confused. The plot moved along fairly quick, but at some point, I found the writing style to be slightly over-descriptive and some of the conversations hard to read through.

Cool concept, but lost interest at 25% through which is why I did not finish. Some will like the book for the concept and I bet it improves further along.
