And the overall story is very slow and boring.
This might have been better as a short-story

I liked the world building (I’m a vampire fan) and the themes of female friendships and camaraderie in the face of threat (not letting someone/a system take them from their community). If there is a second instalment, it would be interesting to see where the characters go from here.

This book really tested my love of atmospheric horror, sapphic characters, and anything vampire adjacent - and my absolute squeamishness when it comes to blood. The vibes of this book are immaculate, bloody, and sensual. It was well worth suffering through the blood squeamishness.

Be warned, there are scenes of moderately graphic lesbian sex, ageism, and how the system pits women against one another.miraclesnow's review against another edition

I also think the pacing was right, but I feel the most meh about the last 10 percent.
