It’s a book about vampire wars that centres around a religious order of vampire hunters based heavily in Christianity, so there is a LOT of blood, violence and institutional abuse

herbivorehaunts's review

one time I saw a tweet that said something along the lines of "do you think Edward uses Bella's Diva Cup as a shot glass" and I guess Jay Kristoff saw it too and got inspired.

I love vampires, but unfortunately I hated what I read of this one, so despite the hype and the beautiful cover I'm DNFing.
