Review: Midnight is the Darkest Hour by Ashley Winstead
Okay so this one had me hooked from the start and not for the reasons I expected. The synopsis talks of a vampiric figure called ‘The Low Man’ who seems to be murdering people in town, which was the main reason I wanted to read this. Going in The Low Man is actually mentioned way less than I expected, but what I did get was a dark, atmospheric story filled with vampire vibes and a love interest who is heavily influenced by Edward Cullen (but just the darker side of him…)
