I’ve been a fan of vampire based literature since I was 10 years old, first with Twiligh; then classics like Dracula and Carmella; historical fiction like A Dowry of Blood and Interview with the Vampire; back around to contemporary teen based magazine ones like Vampire Academy and Crave; all the shows and movies you can think of. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, True Blood, Vampire Diaries, What We Do In the Shadows, Van Helsing, The Lost Boys, heck even Hotel Transylvania. The list goes on til the end of time, but I have never read anything like this.
Claire Kohda writes like a woman unhinged. Like there’s nowhere but up, but she’d rather plummet head first down into the abyss. Writing this lush should be against the law.
Lydia is a woman we all know. She’s inside of us all. She thinks what we think and acts like we act. A vampire, but more human than you can ever put into words.
Crying score: yes, I’ll think about this book for the rest of my life.
