V.E. Schwab’s major foray into the vampire underworld with her signature style was a bloody, emotional, and seductive tale of choices and their consequences. Maria, Lottie, and Alice are young women separated by centuries, cultures, and circumstances but united in being hungry for more. I love a good story that spans centuries seeing the changes of the world through the eyes of immortal characters. I also love a story about women being their beautiful, flawed, powerful, world-ending, and life-giving selves.
