This Ravenous Fate by Hayley Dennings
5.0

Author Hayley Dennings' storytelling  is incredible. This Ravenous Fate, written so poetically, so lyrically, will wistfully pull you along through this fantastical world built on top of 1920s Harlem, and then deviously hand you blood-drenched scenes where you're rooting for the one who caused the catastrophe.

Childhood friends to enemies, black queer vampires, a mystery, and a wonderful plot! Dennings' ability to convey the intense longing between characters, vividly portray emotions, acurately depict anxiety and the stress of an overbearing parent, as well as weave real-world issues throughout the story is simply impeccable. This book is exceptional. I pre-ordered it as soon as I finished chapter 2! I received this as an ARC and I'm truly honored I was able to read it ahead of time! I cannot wait to read more books by Hayley Dennings! Oh! And the twist had me pacing my kitchen with my hand over my mouth. The depth of the characters had me in tears and wishing for a book of the character Valeriya's life. I cannot praise this book enough!
