As a Queer person starved for good lgbtq+ representation I fell in love with this book way before it was published.
My hype was so high and I can say now I finished the book it was well placed.
I'm not going to talk much about the plot because there are many plot focused reviews and I'm not going to write one of those this time.
Let me tell you why I read so happily such a big book.
Imagine all the best tropes, the cute ones, the gay ones the one we rarely have all together in media.
There is such a variety of characters, they come in all gender identities, pronouns, size, shapes, colours, disabilities, abilities just as we all do in real life.
There is genuine poly rep I've seen rarely anywhere if not in Fanfictions, the policules are cute, genuine and caring people loving each other without unnecessary drama
I loved that the main character didn't like acquiring "superpowers" as collateral damage of becoming a Vampire.
Ryann doesn't like to have superpowers as much as she loves her workouts, she has a very human struggle to adapt to such a big change in her life.
The real ppwers of characters in this book is their kindness and compassion.
The reason to keep people going and fighting is that profound desire to protect our loved ones, to be decent individual in a world too often filled with hate and greed.
This book is also so funny, legitimately so funny, I giggled so many times at jokes especially the Queer culture ones
There are many cool fighting scenes.
I'm usually not a massive fight scenes fan but oh boy if I enjoyed Rayann and her friends kicking assess.
Reading thr found family trope in this book is heartwarming and is written as what actually,
someone who decides to welcome who in needs of a safe place and unconditional love and support.
Opening a door firstly to your heart and then to your home.
It was nice to find a baby gay character and see her growing confidence through the book.
Ryann and Vaela book inspired me to exercise more and find motivation to keep pushing to be my true self no matter who you might lose on the way in this process you are going to meet as much amazing people who will accept your true self.
Do yourself a favour and read this amazing book.
