“You complain because there are gaps in the roof of my ribs, and you ask me to give more of myself to fill them.”

This book really tested my love of atmospheric horror, sapphic characters, and anything vampire adjacent - and my absolute squeamishness when it comes to blood. The vibes of this book are immaculate, bloody, and sensual. It was well worth suffering through the blood squeamishness.

Enjoyable read, not sure how I feel about the story overall. Probably not one I'd be wanting to reread, but would recommend it to the right person (goth lesbians and the people who love them).

Finally the toxic lesbian vampire horror story we've been waiting for. Bit of a slow start but a tense and cinematic ending.
