3.5

The author set up a lot of cool concepts but didn't really know how to finish them. The whole vampire kids thing was kind of underutilized and basically disappeared in the last third of the book. I liked the reflections on motherhood but the book waffles between those & whodunnit thriller moments so the whole thing just feels disjointed. Had things I liked, but didn't execute them well enough for a higher rating. 

Also the audiobook narrator's "child voice" is so grating and annoying that it genuinely made me consider DNFing. I may have liked this more if I'd read it instead of listening to the audiobook
