From beginning to end I was thoroughly entertained. I didn’t want it to end. This book was a blast to read.
Kat is a Youngblood vampire living among humans and having to keep her identity a secret. When she applies to the prestigious Harcote school for vampires - and gets in (much to her mother’s dismay) - her world is about to drastically change.
Kat would have never imagined that her new roommate would be none other than her ex-best friend, Taylor, the girl who betrayed her trust and stomped on their friendship.
Thrust into Vampiredom, Kat is convinced this is the place that will really make things happen for her and her long long future, but things are not at all what they seem at Harcote. There is something evil afoot and Kat not only learns secrets the school is harboring, but learns some deep rooted history of her own.
This was so great. I had fun the entire time reading this. There were things that both Taylor and Kat did, ways they acted toward other people for their own gain at times, that annoyed me (causing me to remove a star from a potential five star rating), but the whole of the book makes up for it.

It wasn't awful. Just predictable. I listened to the whole story without feeling like I couldn't finish it. I feel like the ending seemed abrupt.

I truly enjoyed this book. A fun, lesbian, low-fantasy vampire YA book. What more could a teenaged girl in her 20s ask for.
But. It does feel like the wokeness is a bit forced to your face in this one. Some things really needn’t be clarified that much. We get it. they’re two woke white girls against the world.
And again. Sometimes they’re just SO dumb and it’s just for the plot. Like c’mon. Stop giving supposedly “smart as fuck” characters zero deduction skills or even plain old common sense. Find an actual way to make the plot work.
