Huge thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an e-Arc in exchange for an honest review!
“Well, clearly my vampdar isn’t what I thought it was. Knew you were gay from the first encounter, had no idea you were undead.”
My biggest issue with the book is the instant love aspect between Lucy and Iris. As much as I wanted to be deeply unwavering in support of the love story it just felt too fast to completely win me over.
I love so much of this story. I love that it’s a queer revival of a classic, the villainous twist, and the fantastic side characters.
The story being divided between the therapy sessions, diary entries, and Iris was just magic to read. A perfect way to layer in suspense.
Honestly it’s so refreshing to read a book in which the vampire love interest wasn’t afraid to turn their beloved to have more time.
