Direwood by Catherine Yu

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

Im a bit torn on how I feel about this book. The writing was good. There were tense moments and some gross ones. I liked how the vampires were written, but something still feels a bit lacking. It doesn’t feel like a ton happened and when it finally did it felt a bit hurried. I wish there had been a bit more to it. 
Being the authors debut though, I would read her next book.
