this was so beautiful I started to cry. I need more books about two gay vampires who fall in love and call each other darling.

i’m kind of gagged because that ending was really good in my opinion. at first i had a hard time getting into this book as the writing was a bit slow, but once i did i really liked the changes the author made and the more overt sensuality of the story. i also loved hearing the story told by a queer author, it made it so much more heartfelt. i think the writing style could have been a bit better at times but i liked it!

Such a beautiful sapphic retelling of Carmilla I love this book. The fun twists the author adds are such enjoyable additions to the classic story and an exciting celebration of modern day queerness.
I, too, would jump into a fire for my hot vampire girlfriend 10/10 very realistic
