LGBTQ rep is always a plus though and the rules of the vampires were interesting in this book

This was the YA Book Club 2023 book for April.
This is an excellent vampire book, it is YA but at the older end of that bracket so there are some elements of horror and gore in this. It has such an interesting take on vampire law and actually completely reverses a few of the myths. The characters are complex, mesmeric and deadly but angst ridden. There is a lot of humour amongst the carnage too and I was rooting for the girls to win. This is a story of lost girls breaking free of their bondage, finding a family and a reason to live forever, loved it !
Moderate: Misogyny, Blood, Body horror, Murder, Abandonment, Violence, and Death
