Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma

Book: Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma 

Rating: 4 stars 

Review Writer: Vihaan J

Immortal Dark is a dark fantasy novel about Kidan Adane, an orphan who wants to discover the truth behind her sister's disappearance. The book is set in a world where humans can gain powers through vampire companions, which means Kidan must infiltrate Uxlay University and live with the vampire she believes is responsible for her sister's tragedy. Kidan finds herself caught in a power struggle between humans and vampires as she unravels many secrets about a hidden society. One thing I liked about the book was its blend of mythology and vampire lores. All of the characters feel complex and relatable. Although the book slows down at some times, it all eventually builds up to the tension and the thrill of the book fans of The Cruel Prince and other fantasy books would enjoy this novel
