Achei deprimente que uma jovem só possa se encontrar em um ato contra si mesma. Uma fantasia que até seria interessante se não fosse essa questão.

This was a strange short story that packed a twist. A dark one, or not.
Lydia wakes up in a strange world. A carnival where there are vampires and others. And they say she is a stranger from another world. She meets someone and she sort of finds herself too.
Short and good.

Right after I finished [b:Wicked as They Come|12381722|Wicked as They Come (Blud, #1)|Delilah S. Dawson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1324921586s/12381722.jpg|17362398], Twitter informed me that this book was free on XOXO After Dark until the end of the month. It's a super short story (all of 39 pages), and although it's technically the prequel to the first Blud book, I'm not sure much it would be appreciated if you weren't already invested in the series? As with WATC, the world-building is fantastic and lyrical, and you really feel like you're there, at the carnival. The romance is pretty unexciting, since Lydia and Charlie fall for each other immediately. There's a fair bit of action, and Lydia experiences a lot of violence for such a short story, but I did appreciate the continuity with the details in WATC, like explaining why the wolfman was no longer part of the carnival when Tish arrived, etc. I was going to rate this book 3*, until the twist at the end. It's incredibly dark and unexpected, but I loved it. I'm generally not a big fan of short stories, unless they do something surprising like that, so this is getting bumped up to a 4* purely because of the ending.

Well that was twisty!!! This was a fun little sneak peak. I loved how it interweaves with things that I've read in Wicked As They Come. I love stuff like that. It was interesting and the end definitely threw me for a loop. Definitely enjoyed it :)

3.5 stars - It was intriguing and well written with good characters and a solid plot. However, it was a little confusing as someone who has not read anything else set in the Blud-universe and I am having a hard time figuring out where it actually falls in the timeline of the series.
I did like it enough to buy the first book in the series though so I guess that says enough.
