eli99's review against another edition

dark emotional sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

I really liked the writing style but elements of the plot didn't do it for me. The way one character is 16 and one is 20 and they kiss is a little uncomfortable.

This book could also be titled “The making of a Elizabeth Bathory”, and it’s as good as it sounds. It fits the original material well and the sapphic relationship integrates well in the pre-existing myth.

I really liked the audiobook. The narrator added to the flavour of horror and darkness written by the author.

Definitely a good read for fans of vampires in need of more queer rep.
