A great contemporary vampire tale.
Definitely solidified the idea that men are useless at best, dangerous and heartless at worst in a situation that requires seeing women as people, but that rang true.
Definite trigger warning for spousal abuse and gaslighting. (I almost DNF'd it bc of that but I am glad I pushed through.)
