I really like this book and read it in one weekend. It is a take on vampire ethics through a cute small town family. It has family drama, gore, and the struggles of modernity. Not your average vampire family but the set up is amazing!

I have a sexual assault trigger. I don't know if it actually happens but it was obviously going there so I had to exit

Barely anything in this book felt interesting to me. I didn't like any of the characters and their motivations, the plot was also easy to guess. The style of writing and the short chapters did make for an easy read.
