Overall fun and entertaining with a enjoyable imprecation of the vampire troupe. Love the female lead and female centric supporting cast.
Narrator basically saved the book for me. Around the 75% mark it feels the story is dragging too long too much.
Upon review I realized it is littered with triggers. While most are relevant to the plot, some are graphic enough I found mildly unsettling.
