Kidans sister June goes missing leading Kidan to murder her way to finding the vampire she believes took her.

I thoroughly enjoyed this dark academia book, I thought it'd be quite juvenile given the Young Adult (12-18) label but this was obviously written as a New Adult book then edited slightly to be YA (no sex but a lot of gore/violence). Ethiopian mythology isnt something im familiar with so it was fun learning the myths about a topic I already enjoy (vampirism). I thought I'd struggle with the sheer amount of world building in the first half but it was fairly easy to understand and written well & I enjoyed all the characters but wish Iniko & Taj were showcased more. The enemies to lovers tension is written incredibly well though Im unsure why Kidan still wants to murder Sunseyos? This would make a really good movie adaptation and halfway through reading I preordered the next book.

I’m honestly still confused about my feelings towards this book. I loved the way the author delved into grief and guilt and how it can change you or break you. I like how when the main character had too strong of emotions she had to dumb them down but using symbols to understand how she was truly feeling. HOWEVER… I didn’t love the back and forth of trust. You truly couldn’t trust anyone in this book. The characters were unhinged and a lot of times their choices didn’t make sense. This book had me feeling every emotion for sure.

This was philosophical dark with a lot of perspective on the morality and banality of violence in a way that perhaps didn't feel YA. It was also Ethiopian without any analysis of the rest of the world - everyone was Ethiopian and all the language and artifacts and history - there was no "outside" world.
