This was a really nice fantasy read. I loved the setting of 1920's Harlem jazz era and the crime noir vibes.
Layla and Jamie were my favourite characters in this story, and I wished that Jamie's character was utilised more within the story. Layla was a complex and layered character. She misses her life as a human and the loss of her parents and dreams for the future. Between Layla and Elise, Layla is definitely the more rational thinker of the two.
Elise was a little too naive for my taste, and I personally would've preferred some more character development surrounding her loyalty to her family at an earlier point in the book.
Overall, this was an enjoyable suspenseful vampire story, and I'm looking forward to the next part.
