I’m also happy I read Blood Vow because it was fantastic. I am hoping 2019 will be the year that I actually put a dent in it. To be completely honest, I wasn’t wowed by Blood Kiss, so I let the books linger on my huge TBR pile. I put the Legacy books on hold, and I am happy to report that I am one book away from being caught up.
