<b>"Seven Nights for Dying" by Tessa Gratton: ⭐️ (read February 15, 2022)</b>
About a girl debating whether to become a vampire. I didn’t like this at all! Why was it so sexual?? And it made me uncomfy that vampires were more demonic in this one. 

<b>"The Boys From Blood River" by Rebecca Roanhorse: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 (read February 15, 2022)</b>
About a boy who’s bullied for being Native and gay who has the opportunity to become a vampire. This was really good! I was interested the whole way through. 

<b>"Senior Year Sucks" by Julie Murphy: ⭐️⭐️.5 (read February 16, 2022)</b>
About a fat cheerleader vampire slayer! This was good but kinda cheesy too. 

<b>"The Boy andthe Bell" by Heidi Heilig: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (read February 16, 2022)</b>
About a trans boy who meets a vampire during his attempt to dig up a body for medical research. This was awesome! Heidi’s writing is amazing!

<b>"A Guidebook for the Newly Sired Desi Vampire" by Samira Ahmed: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (read February 16, 2022)</b>
Exactly what the title says it is, lol. This was really funny! It went on a little long though. 

<b>"In Kind" by Kayla Whaley: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (read February 16, 2022)</b>
About a girl who lives in a wheelchair whose father tries to “mercy kill” her. This one was great! I was definitely hooked. 

<b>"Vampires Never Say Die" by Zoraida Córdova & Natalie C. Parker: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (read February 16, 2022)</b>
About two girls, one a vampire and one a human, who are friends online. I thought it was sweet that this one was about friendship, but otherwise found it fairly unmemorable. 

<b>"Bestiary" by Laura Ruby: ⭐️⭐️ (read February 16, 2022)</b>
About a vampire who works at a zoo. This was just kind of boring to me?

<b>"Mirrors, Windows & Selfies" by Mark Oshiro: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (read February 16, 2022)</b>
A blog from a boy who was born a vampire and lives in the middle of nowhere with his parents. This was great! The blog format served the story well and it was very fast-paced. 

<b>"The House of Black Sapphires" by Dhonielle Clayton: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 (read February 17, 2022)</b>
About a Black family of vampires. The mythology of this one was super cool! Definitely not your typical vampire story. I definitely enjoyed it. 

<b>"First Kill" by V.E. Schwab: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 (read February 17, 2022)</b>
To summarize this one would be to spoil it, so I won’t! But of course the Schwab story would be my favorite! This was so good! I loved it!
