The characters and story did not grip me the way the original Carmilla did. The writing left a lot to be desired and was fraught with cliches.

Honestly, this book is basically just vibes, but I'm totally ok with that. It was an interesting and atmospheric read.

Overall Review (spoilers)

This book was a cute lesbian vampire dark academia book. I can tell it was inspired by Interview With A Vampire, but there was a lot of improvement overall and the areas of Interview with a Vamp that didn’t age well were removed. I really was invested in the love triangle going on, even though it mellowed out in the end.I like the vampire society that exist in this book, but I wished it had been explored more. My only complaint is that the ending is a little up to interpretation, and the main characters slowly not being interested in their friends anymore.

Plot Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
