So I'm pretty new to the smut world, so I can't speak as an expert but this rocked my world. It's rough but restorative. Tan gives you characters in satisfying extremes. Our main vampire is deeply monstrous in the, "but she's so beautifully human" way that makes vampires genuinely chilling. Po Lam is the quintessential strong, quiet Butch. Gean Choo is the sweet street urchin coming of age in a hard world with a soft, soft heart that completes the triangle and sets it aflame. Without the full structural exposition of high fantasy, the world that these characters traverse is well fleshed out with other folkloric creatures and delicious descriptions of clothes and environs.
