leonix 's review for:

Thirst by Marina Yuszczuk
4.5
dark reflective

There's so much in here I loved, specially in the first half. It's perfectly decadent and gothic, with the vampire living in 19 century Buenos Aires. I particularly loved the connection between the vampire and sickness, in the yellow fever epidemy. It's such a classic vampire theme. The second part was about a contemporary woman dealing with grief, amd while it was reflective and well written, the momentum was lost. I still liked the ending, it was pretty logical, but maybe I feel the merging of their stories should happened earlier....
