3.5 stars. The first half of the book was suspenseful and is paced pretty well, the writing is also stunning (but tell me why some sentences were half the damn page long omg). I found the ending unsatisfying as it happened in one big dump of info and I would rather have seen it build up and have information released in bits instead; but the information presented is fascinating and I enjoyed the story aspect of it. I do appreciate a short book, but I think this would’ve benefitted from being longer, what’s the deal with Carmilla’s mother and their way of securing victims?? I probably would’ve liked it more if I had not known it was a vampire story from the start also.

Read this in another language first so I came back wanting to read it in English. It was just as good. Really enjoyed this short vampire story.
