Honestly this novel did a great job conveying the atypical story of a young vampire coming to terms with her creative spirit, her femininity, her mixed race heritage, and her vampire-human identity.
At times the metaphors presented in this novel felt a bit heavy handed, but overall it was a really fun take on a vampire story and packed a lot of feeling into a 230-page book.

I loved the ending and this writing was beautiful it was just a bit slow but at the same time that’s kinda what made me like it? also i really wish we saw more about her relationship with her mother and her mixed race identity but, if you love vampires and have an identity crisis please read this you will not be disappointed
