Silver Under Nightfall

I finished Silver Under the Nightfall last night and I really enjoyed it!

They don't exactly change a lot of what's established about vampires, but some of them have different powers and stuff. The plot starts interesting but it's predictable and by the end some aspects are a little underdeveloped.

What really shines in this book are the characters. Our protagonist is a lovely human being deeply stubborn and flawed with a lot of self esteem issues and a huge capacity for love.

Rin wrote this in a way that right from the beginning I felt emotional about Remy and his life, it was hook, line and sinker for me because of his characteristics and background.

His love interests are delightful in different ways and their dynamic is a little Sunshine protector - Sunshine - Sunshine protector.
They're all marked by the horrors of life and trying to be their best versions anyway.

There's some miscommunication and past secrets but they talk, and they apologize when they fuck up and that honestly made their relationship so good for me. Lack of accountability in a romance really takes me out of it, and here it doesn't happen because they talk, even if they make mistakes.

There's smut, but Rin Chupeco wrote this in a teasing/snippet way that didn't feel annoying or disgusting, but I did enjoy their banter and foreplay way more than the sex itself.

Idk if this was inspired by Castlevania but the trio is really similar in some ways and I like that.

All in all it was a solid book even if it had some inconsistencies and I'm definitely picking more books from Rin Chupeco, I like their writing.
