Belle Morte ⭐⭐⭐
This is a short ya book that puts us in dual PoV.
Irene aka renie is a teenage girl who arbors vampires. Shes living in a world in which vampires are out in the open. Humans have of course become vampire fanatics aka Vladdicts and try desperately to become "donors". The lady in charge of House Belle Morte helped create this system of vampires and donors living under one roof. Vampires need human blood and donors get to live a lavish lifestyle they normally would not attain in life. This lifestyle comes with many strict rules the main being no access to electronics and the outside world other than letters that are reviewed before being sent out. Renie's sister was a vladdict turned donor, but hasn't been responding to correspondence lately. With no other choices Renie decided to apply to become a donor and go talk to her sister in person. The things at Belle Morte are not as they appear. ...
This was a fun, short read. No this isn't a mystery with many plot turns and twists. There's love and cheesey things in between, but zero spice level. And that felt appropriate for this book. Nothing forced. The cast of characters are fun and easy to read. LGBT pro book. I'm ready for book 2 to come out.
