A review by bookishvicky
Thirsty by M.T. Anderson
4.5
WHAT A WEIRD BOOK. I LOVED IT.
Okay, so it’s hard to get into, the voice is weird to adjust to, and the main character sucks (pun intended), but OH MY GOD what a vampire book!
It’s full of despair, a slow transformation that you can’t do anything about— hopeless, lonely, melancholy, THIRSTY— lords that last page? The last sentence? YES. Like I wanna rip it out and tape it on my wall.
This definitely reads like a 90s YA book. Edgy, clipped prose, useless side characters and forgotten b plots. Pacing was weird, too, and I wish we knew more about Chris but then again the not knowing and watching this hormonal teen turn into a desperate monster— holy shit. Like.
This is some good vampire fiction. I’m so happy I picked this up at a thrift store.
