Read wRite RunAn avid reader and runner. I like to spend my spare time with my dogs Reese and Orion.
The book begins between the two separate points of view of Sam and First Lord Azzuri, who each offer a unique perspective into different vampire hierarchies. First Lord Azzuri is at the top of the food chain (pun intended) as a vampire who gets the very best of the blood and all the other benefits that come with his position, whereas Sam is at the bottom, receiving the dregs of their society which provides nothing more than sustenance.
I loved the dichotomy between Sylvia and Lorelai, Lorelai being the grumpy main point of view character while Sylvia is her academic rival and of course, romantic interest who is pure sunshine and loved by all.
Olivia, the main character, is a podcaster who usually researches true crime, and winds up on a cruise with her sister she has been estranged from so they can reconnect. Characters in thrillers who run true crime podcasts has apparently become a recent draw of mine as I can’t seem to get enough of these.
The world building in Hurricane Wars had me absolutely hooked from the start. It is so rife with unique magic and a compelling land that I could not get enough of the history of.
Hakara and Rasha each had such distinctive stories I enjoyed both of them. Each time I would be reading one point of view, on reaching the end of the chapter I would be so immersed into the story that I would desperately want more of it and would be momentarily disappointed when the character for the next chapter would change, but then would be sucked into that story and the cycle would start all over again.
