3.0

The structure of the story is interesting as a concept (the entire book being a recollection & acknowledging that’s what it is). At times the story would be so immersed in emotions of Louis that it was jarring to be back in scene with the other characters. Some sections felt like they existed only to have a reveal later in the story. Strange moments of child/adult interactions; it’s not quite pedophilia, not quite incest, but an a weird & creepy in between. Overall it’s a solid book & interesting take on vampires.
