Vanilla by Mona Kabbani
4.0
A slow burn that blisters you in the end, VANILLA is a gripping psychological horror story that keeps you guessing.
The depictions of isolation, loneliness, affection and restrained aggression are all painfully accurate in this quasi-vampire story. There are moments of innocence and moments of pure savagery, and reminders that some of the worst monsters in the world are not monsters at all. They're human.
An impressive second showing by Kabbani, and definitely recommended.
