I liked this! It was a very quick read, it's short and the tension keeps building as the past and present versions of the story unfold. The MC (Mia) in the present day reminded me a bit of Jade from My Heart is a Chainsaw. She's so lonely and just living her life is a horror story. This
should also be marked LGBT fyi! Mia gets a manic pixie dream girl gf (ironically named Jade). Mia's mom is a vampire, and since Mia's childhood has literally been sucking the life out of her. The disease is just
as much or more a family dynamics metaphor as it is an
external pressing concern. Definitely check the CWs on this, it's a really insidious toxic relationship, and being in Mia's head as she experiences every manipulation and attempt to isolate her was tough to read at times.
