A Sapphic Rapunzel retelling with a vampiric twist.
Ava is locked away in her house after becoming a vampire. Kaye is a Flame witch trained to hunt vampires. After Ava escapes and Kaye sets off on her trail, the two have to work together to navigate the forest and uncover a dastardly plot.
This was a unique take on a classic tale. I liked Ava and Kaye as characters, and the worldbuilding was cool to see develop. The pacing was a little slow, but it was overall an enjoyable read.
