Woman, Eating by Claire Kohda
3.0

This is a different take on a modern vampire story. It really focuses on desire, starvation, hopelessness, a sense of resentful duty. It was really not a happy or romantic book. Quite dark and difficult to read because it really transported me into the life of Lyd, the main character. But her very existence just seemed so unpleasant and joyless. Lyd just seems lost and very unhappy with her life. I've heard a lot of hype so was curious. I have to admit I was a bit disappointed that it felt like it had a lot of potential but then just stayed quite grey. I'm sure others will fall in love with it, but it just wasn't for me I'm afraid.
