And speaking of the end… what was that. no spoiler but major cliff hanger.
also arthie is a vampire??? the whole book leading up to the reveal didn’t even give hints of arthie being a vampire aside from the coconut water which wasn’t even explained till the very end AFTER you knew arthie was a vampire. and im not just salty about not guessing, it just seemed like an easy gotcha moment that was just theown in there to spice things up…
So now that jin is a vampire, are they gonna turn flick into one to so they can live “happily ever after”??? i feel like the solution is not to turn everyone they love who dies into a vampire because they even criticized a family earlier in the book for doing that exact same thing…
if you have read my rant this far, thank you for your time :D
pretty feminist as well, “girlboss” main character who wears suits!! oh wow, not those awful restricting dresses, the horror!
if you aren’t familiar with books about vampires, as i was not, this was is pretty gruesome and vile in the depictions of drinking blood, and the almost glorification of it imo. so do with that what you will…
no hate to the author or anything, just really not the book for me :)
