4.0

Brilliantly forces the reader to confront the truth that everything actually does have a price, that perfect is unobtainable, and that living in the real world requires accepting tradeoffs. Even though the main character repeatedly says there's no price on love, the plot reveals there is nothing without a price.

I really enjoyed it once I got into it. Unfortunately, it took me two thirds of the book to get really into it.

4.5

A super interesting take on vampires that is written from the point of view on inconsequential characters. It asks the readers to consider what can happen when certain people control information and act on it. Themes of addiction, temptation, motherhood, ableism, queer identities, and neurodivergence.

Devon grew up on Fairy Tales, literally. As a book eater, they were her food. But when she grows up she realises life isn’t they way fairytales would have you believe. At its core The Book Eaters is a tale of family bonds that criticises society, prejudice and what it means to be a mother. Through the darkened lens of monterías fantasy.
