Another Rachel Harrison book down and another one I enjoyed!
I love me a vampire book, and out of the 3 books I had of this author, this was the one I was most looking forward to. I've seen others describe her work as "cosy horrors" and I have to say, I agree. You have these horror elements, each book different, but then a heartwarming story of growth, finding purpose, embracing yourself and all things womanhood. I found that present in all the books I've read of hers so far.
Harrison has this way of writing such complex female characters, giving them depth and layers, that make them so understandable, relatable and intriguing. This read was no different. We have Sloane, someone who is dreading getting older, in a toxic marriage with a cheating scumbag husband (fuck you Joel) and has a fear of change, so she is stuck in this loop and ignores all the bad in order to keep in this bubble of things she can control, she's scared of actually living. Then you have Naomi, who fears dying and feels she's on borrowed time, so she throws herself into things, head first. I really enjoyed their journey on accepting being a vampire and just life in general. I loved Sloane and Henry. He was a little smooth talking, swoon worthy vampire. I liked the whole vampire family wonderful, they all bonded well and all have various different things that made me individually unique.
I enjoyed the story, I did find it a little repetitive and kinda one level, but I did enjoy the journey. One thing I wished happened, was Sloane seeing Joel again to give him a bollocking for being an absolute asshole... But I am so happy she embraced her new life and is happy, with Naomi and her new family.
I may or may not of ordered her backlog, plus preordered 2 upcoming releases...

Started So Thirsty by Rachel Harrison last night and just finished it today—because how could I not?? This audiobook had me hooked from the first bite.
Sloane’s birthday weekend was supposed to be chill—wine, robes, maybe some light wallowing over her cheating husband. But Naomi, her chaotic bestie, had other plans. One wild night with mysterious strangers turns into a bloody, seductive, forever kind of mess.
This isn’t just a vampire story—it’s about friendship, choosing yourself, and saying no more to playing it safe. It’s sharp, darkly funny, a little feral, and completely addictive.
Just finished and it’s giving Thelma & Louise… but make it eternal, bloody, and with better outfits. 4 stars, no crumbs, only fangs.
