This was such a great reading. I literally devoured this book in my free time!
The Lost Girls I book for the people who are into vampire and who liked Twilight but wants a little bit of spice (sapphic love for that matter). Also it has a twist: the vampire and the girl don't end up together, he is actually a dick that turns her into a vampire just to get bored of her and ditch her - honestly man are ughhh.
Holly was only 16 when she was lured by the spoiled Elton, and now she is stuck as a 16-year-old teenager for eternity. She is living this shitty life bc a 16 old can't really get a good job, but everything changes when she meets two of Elton's other victims, Ida and Rose. They offer Holly an great opportunity: "let's get rid of Elton for good!!!" and of course it's a too good of an opportunity to turn down. And everything was just fine until she starts to like Elton's new girlfriend, Parker.
This book is such a great and refreshing twist from the usual vampire stories. We have sapphic rep and badass girls kicking men asses - what else can we ask for?
Also Holly still has to deal with things from her past and from the fact she is a teenager. She doesn't gets automatic rich just for being a vampire as some other stories goes, actually she gets somewhat worse because surprise! we are under capitalism gals and vampires are not except from it.
A little extra thing: is it bad that I'm a little attracted to Gwen? it is? oh okay :)

But the references to traditional vampire stories throughout will really make it fun for vampire fans. Holly is a great narrator, and her snide comments about vampires and people's views of vampires just make the story more fun to read.
All in all, if you're looking for a quick, entertaining vampire story, this one would fit the bill!

What a fun lighthearted friendship vampire story with a little sapphic romance to boot. Utterly delightful. (And some interesting twists on vampire lore!)

Might pick it up again later (I still have some faint hope that it'll get better) but I don't have the patience right now.
