Sapphic vampires in a boarding school?! This had the potential to be everything to me.
But everyone was annoying and it was a bit problematic.

I enjoyed reading this book but it also didn’t do what I wanted it to do. It started promising. It really leant into the highschool cliches with the added vampire flair. The premise is amazing. But the romance just didn’t hit. I wasn’t feeling the tension or connection. The miscommunication was getting really tiring at some point and I don’t know why these characters like each other. The character work needs improvement.
The mystery element of the book was fine. I kind of wanted it to be bigger, as it relies on big political and ethical questions, but I understood the scaling choices for this kind of book. This way it kept the high school element of the story.
It definitely wasn’t perfect and I really hoped the premise would fulfil its potential, but regardless of its flaws it was a fun book to read.

read this in protest of First Kill being cancelled
was i able to predict the entire plot in the first five minutes of reading? yes. is the essentially a lesbian version of carry on by rainbow rowell? yes. nevertheless an incredibly fun time, the romance was so cute and compelling, loved the anti capitalist/leftist themes throughout, and the characters where well fleshed out, good balance of world building v other stuff for a standalone. better than dracula.
