Where Shadows Meet: A Novel

One thousand years ago, the gods were restless. Thana, the princess, had fallen in love with Favre, an outcast. When her father refuses her choice of witch as mate, Thana kills him to keep the crown and her love, even if it means becoming a blood drinker. In the present, Leyla works hard to earn not only her inheritance as future queen of the vampires but also her mother’s approval.

When her personal guard and best friend is taken, she is at war with herself: save Danai or act as the queen she will be and look out for the good of all. She can’t keep living if Danai dies for her so she enlists Najja, a messenger of fate and an eternal enemy, who is younger, and prettier than expected, but Najja knows the sins of the past will come to haunt those in the present.

The beautiful cover hides a really disappointing book. Alternating points of view between two time periods and three characters makes it very challenging to track. Characters ruled by their self-interests and excessive info dumping also takes away from what could have been a promising sapphic tale. Skip this one.
