Blood on Her Tongue by Johanna van Veen
4.25

This was such a fun, gory story. The body horror was really well done and I will never look at eggs and eyes the same way again. 

The prose is simple yet incredibly descriptive, captivating the reader without making it hard to get through. The themes of sisterhood, women’s rights (and wrongs), and sapphic representation was woven seamlessly through the story. 

I love the way vampires are portrayed; nothing sparkling in the sun over here. 

Overall, I had a great time reading this. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is because I wish there had been less restraint after a point with two specific characters.
