A review by lollylovesbooks
An Education in Malice by S.T. Gibson
Sapphic vampire dark academia.
Laura is a new student, having moved across the country for her college of choice. Carmilla, on the other hand, has been at the college for a while, and is disgruntled to have to share her favourite professor's attentions with a newcomer.
I knew very little about this book going in, and quite a few things about the setting surprised me. For example, it's set in the 1960s. And there is a lot of poetry reciting.
I enjoyed the relationship building and dynamics between Laura and Carmilla - I felt bad for them how often their kisses were interrupted though!
Even though it made sense for the circumstances, I definitely felt uneasy with students regularly being invited to a professor's apartment. The student-professor dynamic made me a little uncomfortable at times.
But overall I definitely enjoyed reading this. Different style to a lot of the vampire books I read, so a nice bit of variety there.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the free copy. All thoughts are my own.
