Reluctant Immortals by Gwendolyn Kiste

This book was so fun! Dracula and Jane Eyre fanfiction with a Once Upon A Time in Hollywood vibe, this was an easy read that really put you in the settings! I wouldn’t consider it horror, but a great thriller with a minor sapphic romance (fans of Jane Eyre may not enjoy the romance but I’ve never read that book and love lesbians so,,,). This novel does a great job reflecting on the way coercion and secrets can impact trauma, and how you can live your life thinking you have no choice when your options were there all along.
